Hitting a baseball is the hardest single thing to do in all of sports

Hitting a round ball going a hundred miles an hour feels like it's harder than hitting a tennis ball with the racket. You always hear... the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a baseball. I've heard it enough that I believe it.

While widely cited by sports legends like Ted Williams, 'hardest' remains a subjective metric.

Theo Epstein is a genius for not trading Kyle Schwarber because he knew a 60-game season was coming.

Theo Epstein is a fucking genius. He knew that we were gonna have a pandemic and then a 60-game season and that's why I didn't trade Kyle Schwarber in...

Incorrect. Schwarber struggled in the 60-game season, hitting only .188, and was non-tendered by the Cubs that winter.

Tom Brady is on the hot seat for leading workouts during the COVID-19 spike.

Tom Brady is on the hot seat... despite the NFLPA advising that players should not work out together, Tom Brady led another Bucs workout this morning...

Incorrect. Brady was not actually on a 'hot seat' with his team or the league, and the workouts helped him win a Super Bowl that season.

Ben Roethlisberger's porn addiction admission is a genius move to distract from his real past

This was genius by him. Of course everything that he does is genius, right? Be like, I'm not talking about my real past. I'm talking about my porn. And yes, this is the androstenedione in the locker for Mark McGwire that Roethlisberger's bringing.

The take is satirical, but Roethlisberger did publicly claim he had a porn addiction during a conference speech in June 2020.

The US loss to Turkey in the World Cup group stage means absolutely nothing

The second that we got scored on by Turkey in the last minute, don't really care at all that we lost that game. That game means less than nothing to us. No one's gonna remember what you did in that third game. We already advanced first in our group.

The US advanced as the top seed despite the loss, making the result literally irrelevant to their tournament survival.

Belgium's national soccer team isn't that good

I don't think that Belgium's that good. I'll say it. Maybe I'm looking past Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in Senegal path, I love it.

Belgium's tournament performance will determine if they are indeed 'not that good.'

VAR makes soccer a lot worse, especially for offsides calls.

I think that soccer is one sport that we can say the VAR it makes a lot of stuff worse. Yeah, the offsides on the VAR is so much worse.

This is a subjective opinion about the impact of VAR on the enjoyment of soccer.
