Steph Curry has accidentally ruined basketball for children

I don't like what he's done to the sport of basketball, but I like him... through no fault of his own. He's just, he's all the, every kid out there that doesn't grow... is like, you know what? I'm just going to shoot from half court now... and fun fact nobody's the next Steph.

The 'Steph Curry effect' on youth basketball is a documented phenomenon noted by many coaches and analysts.

Will Zalatoris has to figure out his putting based on vibes

I actually afterwards said that Will Zalatoris has to figure out his putting... I do strokes gained by vibes. He missed a big putt. He, I would say he lost somewhere around $50,000 worth of strokes gained for me personally.

While Zalatoris had positive strokes gained putting for the tournament, his stroke is famously unconventional and 'twitchy,' leading to the common perception Big Cat is voicing.

I will bet Will Zalatoris for every Major until he finally wins one

I am now financially and emotionally attached to Will Zalatoris to a level that I will bet him significantly for every Major, until he wins one. And if he just becomes one of those guys that never wins one, well, my kids won't go to college.

Will Zalatoris did eventually win his first PGA Tour event (2022 St. Jude), but as of mid-2024, he still has not won a Major (though he has many top-10s).

The US Open should only be won by Americans

Not to be xenophobic, but the US Open should be won by an American. So as far as I'm concerned, Will Zalatoris is the champion.

The US Open is an open championship for all nationalities, but Big Cat is jokingly arguing for national exclusivity because he lost a bet.

The 2026 World Cup final was boring and sucked.

It was boring ass soccer. It sucked. It made me thankful that the World Cup's over, that football's back. Now we can get back into real football, which I'm very, very thankful for. But that was actually, I think that was the best way to end the World Cup, because I'm totally fine with no more soccer now.

Fanatics Fest is a cynical place designed only to take money from fans.

It also seems like the most cynical place ever. Like, you can go to an autograph festival or a fan festival and you know that the guys are being paid to be there. And they're still like, happy to see, interact with you, all that shit. It just seems like every single thing about being at that place is just designed to take money from the people that are there.

Bryson DeChambeau is being targeted by selective rule enforcement.

I think that Bryson definitely did it and it's definitely against the rules. And he got caught for it and they enforced it against him because he's a bad boy. He's had some run-ins before. I don't think the R&A or whatever, I don't think they're particularly happy with Bryson right now.
