The 2026 World Cup is going to suck because of terrible logistics

I think the World Cup is gonna suck. I think everyone's fucking it up... MetLife's already a joke. It's, it's a terrible place, terrible location and just overall terrible experience... FIFA is a cartel. It's organized crime that has a death grip on world soccer... run by people who are openly antagonistic to their consumers.

The success or failure of the World Cup logistics will be determined when the tournament takes place in mid-2026.

Andre Drummond might be better than Joel Embiid

Andre Drummond... might be better than [Joel] Embiid. Max, I'm not gonna lie... He still has his appendix. Best ability is availability.

While Drummond is more durable, Embiid is a perennial MVP candidate and objectively the better player; the claim is hyperbolic.

Beating the Celtics would be the equivalent of winning an NBA Finals for the Sixers

I've also already said if we beat the Celtics, that's, that's an NBA finals. I don't care what happens the rest of it.

This is a subjective emotional assessment of what the victory would mean to him as a fan.

The Orlando Magic are a total bummer to watch

The [Orlando] Magic are the biggest bummer in the world to watch. Yeah. That team stinks. They are, they just play just basketball. That's not fun to watch. Paolo [Banchero] stinks. Paolo is so bad. He was like seven for 22. It's like my turn your turn offense.

The entertainment value of a team is subjective, though Banchero is widely considered an ascending star despite this critique.

If Messi wins the 2026 World Cup, he is the GOAT of all sports GOATs

So if he wins the World Cup again, I'm prepared to say he might be the GOAT GOAT. Like the GOAT of GOATs. Right now I think Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali are both tied for the GOAT GOAT... But Messi could get on the Mount Rushmore of GOAT GOATs.

Messi has reached the 2026 final in this transcript. A win would make him a back-to-back champion, making the GOAT claim very strong.

France will beat England in the World Cup third-place game, giving England the all-time record for third-place game losses.

England has, they've got the possibility to set the all time record for most third place game losses. Right now they're tied with Brazil with two. If they lose another one, then that would mean that they have that record on their own. And if you look back through history or at least recent history, three of the last five champions of the World Cup go on to win the third place game the next year. So that would mean that France would win this third place game and England would etch their names into history.

Pending the outcome of the 2026 World Cup 3rd-place game between France and England.

Warde Manuel is about to be fired as the Michigan Athletic Director

I think Warde Manuel's about to get fired... They've leaked a few things to the media regarding the investigation and in the things that they've leaked, they've squarely pointed their finger at Warde Manuel and been like Warde knew the entire time.

The outcome of Manuel's tenure and the NCAA investigation at Michigan remains to be seen.
