Gillette Stadium and other World Cup venues will immediately switch back to artificial turf once the tournament ends

They redid all the artificial turf... all the stadiums that got replaced with grass. It's such a slap in the face to every player that plays on the stadiums where it's like, yeah, if they could put grass down for a month if they really wanted to, but as soon, the second that the money making is outta town, they're just gonna put that shit back on.

After hosting its final 2026 FIFA World Cup match on July 9, 2026, Gillette Stadium immediately removed the natural grass surface and reinstalled artificial turf for the upcoming New England Patriots' 2026 NFL season. This aligns with the prediction that venues would switch back to artificial turf as soon as the World Cup concluded.

Paddy the Baddy is the next star of the UFC

Paddy the Baddy was electric. Paddy the Baddy is the next star of the UFC.

Paddy Pimblett has become a massive fan favorite and major draw, though he hasn't reached McGregor-level championship status yet. The take is largely validated by his popularity.

Conor McGregor likely fought on an existing injury and aggravated it during the fight

I think it was probably hurt and probably aggravated it during the fight. Now, would it shock me to know that Conor McGregor tore his ACL in training and then he just pretended that it wasn't hurt? No, that wouldn't surprise me either. But I think it was probably something wrong with it and when he went out there to try to fight on it immediately, just it told him, 'no, you can't do this.'

While confirmed by some medical reports later, the exact state of his knee pre-fight remains a point of debate.

Conor McGregor will fight again and eventually go on a boxing run

I think [McGregor] will fight again. And then even outside the UFC, I think he also will go on like the boxing run afterwards.

McGregor has continued to tease fights, though serious boxing matches haven't materialized in a sustained 'run' yet.

The Chiefs' window never closed

I don't think we ever actually closed the Chiefs' window. I think Mahomes was just in bed because he was injured, far away from the window.

The Chiefs' long-term contention status is ultimately subjective, though their dynasty remained active at the time of the episode.

Mahomes will be back to himself by season's end

By the end of this season, Mahomes is gonna be back to being Mahomes.

Whether Mahomes returned to his established level by the end of the 2026 NFL season had not yet been resolved.

The Oregon loss could turn Dan Lanning into a psychopath

I don't think that Dan Lanning has slept since that loss. I think Dan Lanning has turned into an absolute psycho because of this loss. He's sick. It actually might be a dangerous thing for the rest of the Big Ten that Oregon lost that game.

Whether the loss made Oregon more dangerous over the rest of the season is a future, testable team-performance claim.
