LeBron James will retire from the NBA to start his own international league and destroy the NBA.

LeBron James is just gonna start his own league. He's gonna retire from the NBA... and he's gonna start an international league and then he's gonna try to destroy the NBA.

While there are reports that he and Maverick Carter are planning to launch a new international basketball league by fall 2026, which aims to rival the NBA, the condition of his retirement from the NBA has not been met.

The Dallas Cowboys should bench Dak Prescott and start over with Trey Lance at quarterback.

[The Cowboys] should start over with Trey Lance... Jim Harbaugh was [interviewed] and that got me pumped up... technically football is back.

Sarcastic take about a player who has struggled to find a starting role. Dak Prescott remains the established starter in 2024 and likely 2025.

The new 'Hawkeye' tracking technology in the NFL is just AI slop that doesn't solve anything.

The Hawkeye, they're putting tennis in our football. They mixed tennis in with football. And what they did was, on the first down, they showed the AI slop 3D cam that they hit a button and then they put a graphic on the screen and then the yellow line appears on the screen. The yellow line. That's, that's not new technology. The ball is still spotted by the refs. So it doesn't really have anything to do with anything.

I am 111% confident that the Commanders will get a contract extension done with Terry McLaurin.

[The 110% confidence] went up better today. [It's at] 111. The request of a trade actually got me more confident that it's gonna be done. It makes me want more. That's probably what he is doing.

Prediction Football Medium

The Commanders completed a contract extension with Terry McLaurin. He agreed to a 3-year extension worth up to $96 million with a $30 million signing bonus, ending his hold-in.
