Hosting a Super Bowl is not worth it for a city long-term financially

If you look at the, the long term like financial impacts of hosting Super Bowl, it's not worth it. It's not, it's stupid. It's really not. You just, it Same thing with the Olympics or the World Cup. You just bend over backwards for people.

Many economic studies support this, though it remains a debated topic among urban planners.

The Bears will likely end up in Arlington Heights despite the Indiana stadium news

The Indiana has voted to go forward with taking the bears. Having the Bears, holding the Bears in Hammond. While it doesn't actually mean anything, because I still think they're gonna be in Arlington Heights. It is the closest they've ever been to potentially finding a place.

The Bears' stadium saga is ongoing as of early 2026, but the Indiana move remains a secondary possibility to Illinois options.

In 20 years, everyone will regret the decision to put every NFL stadium indoors

I firmly have, have come around to the idea that in 20 years from now, we are all going to regret the fact that we put every single stadium indoors.

This is a subjective long-term cultural prediction that cannot be definitively proven but reflects a common sentiment among purists.

The Super Bowl should just rotate back and forth between Las Vegas and New Orleans permanently

No city should bend over backwards to try to get a Super Bowl if they're not already capable of handling it... The Super Bowl should at this point just be Vegas back and forth. New Orleans. Vegas. I'd be fine with that.

The NFL currently prefers a wider rotation to reward various markets and new stadiums.

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.

England was the much better team, but Erling Haaland is a one-man squad for Norway

England was a much, much better team. But... that guy that didn't pass the ball to Erling Haaland, give me a break. Haaland, you are a one man team and that's okay.

Subjective opinion on Haaland's role.

The World Cup being expanded to 64 teams is just a monetization play by Gianni Infantino

He wanted to turn it into American sports and he wanted to use this World Cup to learn how we're able to monetize every single facet of our sports. And the fact that it was somebody whispered like, 'Hey, you know, the NCAA tournament they used to do 64, everybody loved that bracket.' He thought about that and he was like, 'that's a great idea. I think I will, I'll try to do that.'

The World Cup expansion is a fact; the motivation is subjective but widely believed to be financial.
