I would pay Ezekiel Elliott before Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper

I get it with Ezekiel Elliott. This is the take I'm willing to squat on. I would pay Ezekiel Elliott first. I would pay him before Dak. I'd pay him before Amari.

This is a team-building philosophy question. The Cowboys eventually signed all three, but Zeke's massive contract is often cited as a mistake in hindsight compared to Dak's value.

Brooks Koepka is the greatest golfer of all time this year

[Brooks Koepka] is the greatest golfer of all time this year. So I don't understand how it works, but I just know that this one triggered all the other finishes, and now he won it all.

Koepka was World No. 1 in 2019 and had an exceptional year, though 'greatest of all time' even for a year is subjective hyperbole.

A player will eventually use a hologram to make a training camp entrance

A hologram will arrive for the player, and then they'll show up later. That will be the greatest entrance. ... That will happen eventually in the next, like, 10 years.

While technology has advanced, no NFL player has yet used a hologram specifically for a training camp entrance as of 2024.

Todd Gurley's knee doesn't work anymore and it's a major story people aren't talking about enough

Todd Gurley's knee is never... That's a story we're just not talking about. ... Todd Gurley's knee doesn't work anymore.

Gurley was indeed suffering from chronic knee issues (arthritis) that significantly hampered his performance in 2019 and led to him being out of the league by age 26.

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The USMNT did successfully have Balogun's suspension rescinded during the 2026 World Cup.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