Kids should preemptively tear their ACLs like a Tommy John procedure

If a running back was born without two knee ligaments, then they wouldn't have had their entire life to become over-reliant on their knee ligaments, and they'd actually be fine. So what I'm advocating is almost like a Tommy John type deal. It's an operation for the young kids. You preemptively tear both your ACLs, and so then that way they have more time to unlearn the bad habits that you get from playing on healthy knees before you become a pro.

Deliberately absurd medical advice satirizing the 'tough it out' mentality. Compares preemptive ACL tears to Tommy John surgery as a development tool.

Putting the Bill Simmons podcast on notice

I'm putting the Bill Simmons podcast on notice this week, baby. I'm coming for you, Bill. There's nothing you can do to stop me. It's a revolution.

PFT's solo Steam Room podcast never overtook Bill Simmons. However, six months later PFT co-created Pardon My Take which became one of the biggest sports podcasts ever.

Dan Campbell might be the first interim head coach to win a Super Bowl

I personally think [Dan Campbell] might be the first interim head coach to win a Super Bowl.

Dan Campbell went 5-7 as interim coach in 2015 and did not reach or win the Super Bowl that season (the Broncos won).

Success for the USMNT is defined as winning at least one elimination game

The very, very bottom line for what we could consider to be success I would say is if we win one elimination game, okay. That would be okay. Reaching the quarter finals. That's okay. That's what success is for this team.

Outcome of upcoming tournament is unknown.

West Ham will finish in the top 10 of the EPL table next year because of season-ending momentum.

I expect West Ham, my Hammers to finish in the top 10 of the table next year. English soccer fans don't understand sports. They don't get momentum. And winning your last game of the season three nil, you're gonna have all the momentum going into next year in the EPL.

The 2026-27 EPL season results will determine if West Ham finishes in the top 10.
