Staying safe in the bubble and practicing good hygiene is a bigger accomplishment for the Capitals than winning the Stanley Cup

I think that being in the bubble, staying safe, practicing good hygiene, and not spreading the virus around... I think is better than winning a Stanley Cup. It's a testimony to just what a great team [the Capitals] is.

This is a satirical opinion used to deflect from a playoff loss; it cannot be literally evaluated but the Capitals did not win the Cup.

The 2020 Stanley Cup doesn't really count and it's the best year to lose because there is no parade

Does it really count this year? I'm sitting here, this is the easiest year to lose... There's no parade I could go to, there's no Stanley Cup celebration. I'm not going to drink out of the cup again this year. So honestly, I'm glad I hope a new team wins.

The 2020 Stanley Cup is officially recorded, though fans often debate 'asterisk' seasons.

The Bulls will likely draft Deni Avdija, although I want them to draft Obi Toppin for the puns

The Chicago Bulls are going to get Obi Toppin very exciting... actually I don't think we are going to get Obi Toppin. I think we're going to get the kid from Israel [Deni Avdija], but I just know from a blogger podcasting perspective when you can say 'ain't no stoppin' Obi Toppin' it pays for itself.

The Bulls drafted Patrick Williams #4. Obi Toppin went #8 and Deni Avdija went #9.

Conor McGregor likely fought on an existing injury and aggravated it during the fight

I think it was probably hurt and probably aggravated it during the fight. Now, would it shock me to know that Conor McGregor tore his ACL in training and then he just pretended that it wasn't hurt? No, that wouldn't surprise me either. But I think it was probably something wrong with it and when he went out there to try to fight on it immediately, just it told him, 'no, you can't do this.'

While confirmed by some medical reports later, the exact state of his knee pre-fight remains a point of debate.

England was the much better team, but Erling Haaland is a one-man squad for Norway

England was a much, much better team. But... that guy that didn't pass the ball to Erling Haaland, give me a break. Haaland, you are a one man team and that's okay.

Subjective opinion on Haaland's role.

The World Cup being expanded to 64 teams is just a monetization play by Gianni Infantino

He wanted to turn it into American sports and he wanted to use this World Cup to learn how we're able to monetize every single facet of our sports. And the fact that it was somebody whispered like, 'Hey, you know, the NCAA tournament they used to do 64, everybody loved that bracket.' He thought about that and he was like, 'that's a great idea. I think I will, I'll try to do that.'

The World Cup expansion is a fact; the motivation is subjective but widely believed to be financial.
