I prefer watching women's soccer over men's soccer because the U.S. actually wins.

I actually like watching women's soccer better than men's soccer because we actually win in women's soccer.

This is a subjective preference based on a factual win/loss record.

Kawhi Leonard is a killer

Kawhi Leonard is a motherfuckin' killer. He is. He's a killer.

Kawhi Leonard went on to lead the Raptors to their first NBA championship and won Finals MVP that same season, cementing this 'killer' reputation.

Brett Brown is not the right coach for the 76ers

I don't think Brett Brown is the guy because, like I said, three shot clock violations. I think one of them might have been a block on Jimmy Butler... He did a good job with a young team bringing him along. But when you lose like they did last year and then lose this year, I feel like you have to change at least something.

Brett Brown was eventually fired in 2020 after the Sixers were swept in the first round, supporting Big Cat's view that he wasn't the guy to lead them to a title.

The mid-range jump shot still has a place in the modern NBA

Turns out Manalytics going one-on-one with a guy and hitting a step-back 14-footer still has a place in this game... The nerds, though, have been put on their heels a little bit. They're updating their stat sheets, their spreadsheets, saying, well, actually, that was actually a great shot.

While analytics still dominate, many championship teams continue to rely on star players who can score from the mid-range (Kawhi, KD, Jokic), making this a valid basketball observation.

The overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension is the smallest piece of justice the United States has ever received from FIFA

The United States has never benefited from FIFA's corruption before, and it feels like we've been left out of that party. If this is our taste of the corruption, and all the corruption is just overturning a suspension that should never have been given in the first place... it's the smallest piece of justice that the United States could ever get from FIFA.

The USMNT did successfully have Balogun's suspension rescinded during the 2026 World Cup.

The sensor chips inside soccer balls are bullshit and not perfectly aligned with the cameras

I'm so deep into this chip in the ball thing, I've become convinced that it's all bullshit. The sensors, yes, they're there and yes, they pick up on stuff, but there's no chance that it is perfectly aligned with the 50 cameras that are running concurrently in the stadium on live TV at any given time.

This is a subjective claim about technical precision, though PFT expresses strong doubt.

Brandon Aiyuk is in a bad space mentally and will not be signing with the Washington Commanders.

The Washington Commanders have released Brandon [Aiyuk] today from the contract that he didn't sign with us and was never going to sign. Things got kind of weird over the weekend. So [Aiyuk] was saying like talking shit about Jayden's mom... I think that should probably put an end to the Brandon [Aiyuk] to the Commanders rumors. But I was never really on board for it, it's been weird for quite some time with Brandon. I hope he gets whatever help he needs. It doesn't seem like he's in a good space mentally. And it seems like even his best oldest friends have tried to help him and he just burns those bridges too.

Subjective opinion on Aiyuk's mental state and burned bridges, plus a prediction about not going to the Commanders.
