Shohei Ohtani took the coward's way out by staying with the Angels

After the pressure of the trade deadline gets lifted, he decided to stay with the Angels. A team that has no expectations on it. That's interesting. He took the coward's way out. Is he afraid of the bright lights? If I was Shohei Ohtani, I would be demanding a trade to the New York Yankees or the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Ohtani eventually signed with the Dodgers in free agency, fulfilling the 'bright lights' desire PFT mentioned, but the characterization of staying as 'cowardly' is subjective.

I officially have zero ill-will toward Aaron Rodgers and think he's a great teammate now that he took a pay cut

Aaron Rodgers. What a guy. Probably the greatest guy ever. I'm so happy that I've never said anything bad about Aaron Rodgers. He took a $35 million pay cut for the Jets, basically a big fuck you to the Packers. I think I officially have like no ill will towards Aaron Rodgers anymore. This one cemented it for me.

This is an opinion, though the premise (Rodgers taking a pay cut) actually happened.

Sean Payton is officially back to his old tricks of using bizarre motivational videos

Sean Payton is officially a hundred percent back. All the headlines are gonna be about how he said that [Nathaniel] Hackett did the worst job of coaching in the history of the NFL... To me, that was not the best part of the story. He is up to his old tricks. Sean Payton basically is a film director. He has his assistant Paul Kelly queue up a nature documentary that showed baby iguanas under attack from running snakes immediately after they hatched... he wanted to hammer home a point to his players of you have to hit the ground running.

The story about the iguana video was widely reported in the summer of 2023 following Payton's comments to USA Today.

The Pac-12 is officially dead after Colorado's departure

Colorado's gonna be a Big 12 team. So Big 12 is basically torn apart. The Pac-12 rated it for all its parts. And I think this is like the Pac-12's done. They're done. I don't know who else is gonna go to the Big 12. Pac-12's done.

This was highly prescient as the Pac-12 essentially dissolved shortly after when almost all remaining members joined the Big Ten, Big 12, or ACC.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
