I 100% believe Deontay Wilder's excuse that his 45-pound mask killed his legs before the Tyson Fury fight.

Deontay Wilder his excuse for getting knocked out by Tyson Fury on Saturday night was his legs were dead because he wore a 45-pound mask into the ring. So pretty much exactly what we said on Monday... I 100 percent believe this. He's an idiot. Like he walked through the entire casino that he put on a 45 pound weighted vest before the biggest fight of his life. That's so stupid.

Whether the mask actually caused the loss is subjective and widely mocked by boxing analysts who credit Fury's dominance.

The mockery of NFL Combine hand size measurements has gone too far; it actually matters for quarterback performance.

I think the pendulum has swung so far into mocking combine season. I actually hate it now... It might not directly correlate, but would you not rather have a guy with a bigger hand than a smaller hand? There is absolutely a benefit to having a big hand if you're trying to grip a football in the rain or cold.

The value of hand size in the NFL remains a debated analytical topic, with most data suggesting it has little to no correlation with success or fumble rates.

Joe Burrow is using 'Galaxy Brain' reverse psychology on the Bengals by saying he would play for them.

I think that this is Galaxy brain [Joe] Burrow because I think that he is showing intentionally such poor vision making process that he says that he will play for the Bengals that the Bengals be like, 'oh fuck. We don't we don't want them.' Why would anyone play for us? That's not our kind.

Burrow did play for the Bengals and led them to a Super Bowl, proving he was not using reverse psychology to avoid them.

In the modern NFL, having a transcendental offense is better than having a very good defense.

I'd say that having a transcendental offense is probably better usually than having a very good defense because it's extremely hard to put together all the pieces on defense... just one of those easy things to just be like, 'Hey, we want to have an explosive offense.'

This reflects the general consensus in NFL strategy during this era.

The 2026 World Cup final was boring and sucked.

It was boring ass soccer. It sucked. It made me thankful that the World Cup's over, that football's back. Now we can get back into real football, which I'm very, very thankful for. But that was actually, I think that was the best way to end the World Cup, because I'm totally fine with no more soccer now.

Fanatics Fest is a cynical place designed only to take money from fans.

It also seems like the most cynical place ever. Like, you can go to an autograph festival or a fan festival and you know that the guys are being paid to be there. And they're still like, happy to see, interact with you, all that shit. It just seems like every single thing about being at that place is just designed to take money from the people that are there.

Bryson DeChambeau is being targeted by selective rule enforcement.

I think that Bryson definitely did it and it's definitely against the rules. And he got caught for it and they enforced it against him because he's a bad boy. He's had some run-ins before. I don't think the R&A or whatever, I don't think they're particularly happy with Bryson right now.
