I could medal in Olympic ski jumping by just going 'full send' once

I'm going to go with ski jumping. I'll just bomb it once and just go full send... and just land and crash and I'll have the longest one. ... I can stand perfectly still for about 10 seconds while I'm going downhill... and then you just do like one of those little springs at the last second.

Hot Take Olympics ScorchingSarcastic

Ski jumping involves strict style points for the landing (Telemark) and judges' evaluation. A 'crash' would result in a score too low to medal, regardless of distance.

The IOC and NBC are idiots for not letting people share Olympic clips online

The IOC in their infinite wisdom... doesn't want anyone sharing any Olympic clips, pictures, anything, because God forbid anyone talks about the Olympics and these random sports that you stumble upon... I can't understand... why tweeting a 20-second clip of a random sport like handball... is something they want to stop.

Opinion Media Medium Subjective

This is a subjective opinion on media policy, though the policy itself is a verified fact.

The Wisconsin Badgers could win the Olympic gold medal in basketball

I really do think that the Wisconsin Badgers could win the gold medal because it does feel like that's the style of basketball [in the Olympics]. I was actually thinking that probably the worst NBA team would have a better chance at winning the title than this group right now.

Hot Take Basketball Fire

The 2021 Wisconsin Badgers would almost certainly not win Olympic gold against international professionals, though Team USA did eventually win gold regardless.

Olympic fencing should use sharper swords to make it more dangerous

I think they should have sharper swords and fencing. Like give me an element of danger. It should be death, death, death, but like maiming.
