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.

Thom Brennaman will lose his job for his hot mic slur

So if you're living under a rock he... had a hot mic situation where he used a homophobic slur and probably is going to lose his job.

Thom Brennaman resigned from the Reds and was removed from Fox Sports NFL coverage following the slur.

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 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.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

The Celtics are no longer eligible to be the NBA's team of the 2020s without Jaylen Brown

If the Celtics rebuild and they get back to like the NBA finals, let's say in like 2029, let's say they win another chip in 2029, that's a different team. Like the core is completely different without Jalen Brown. I don't know that you could consider the Celtics to ever even be eligible for team of the 2020s. Because it's gonna be two different iterations of the team.

Inherently subjective criteria for what constitutes a 'team of the decade'.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

This is a subjective opinion on sporting rules.
