The Brooklyn Nets won the James Harden for Ben Simmons trade

I disagree. I think the Nets got the better end of the deal. Between Harden and Embiid, you basically get like a three-month period with James Harden where he can truly be happy in any environment before he starts to hate something about his life... Ben Simmons, I feel like the Nets could be the right place for Ben to be because he doesn't have to shoot.

The trade was disastrous for both teams. Simmons barely played due to injury/mental health, and Harden requested a trade from Philly a year later. Neither team won a championship with these cores.

The Cincinnati Bengals will defeat the Los Angeles Rams 24-20

I still think it's going to be like 24-20 Cincinnati... I'm reverting back fully to what I felt on Monday morning and I'm going to stick with the Bengals.

The Rams won 23-20.

If Aaron Donald wins Super Bowl MVP, he is in the discussion for best defensive player ever

Aaron Donald, if he wins a Super Bowl and a Super Bowl MVP, he now is absolutely in the discussion for best defensive player of all time. He's already a Hall of Famer... there's only been like two or three guys who've been All-Pro eight out of their first nine years.

While Donald won the Super Bowl and is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, Cooper Kupp won the MVP. The debate for 'greatest defensive player ever' usually still centers on Lawrence Taylor.

Losing to a former assistant in the Super Bowl is a worse legacy stain than losing to Bill Belichick

Losing to your assistant in your second Super Bowl, when it's his first Super Bowl, that is way worse and that will be the reason why the narrative is there. It won't have anything to do with Belichick or the Patriots... if [Sean McVay] loses this game and loses to his former assistant, that's a much harder pill to swallow.

McVay won the game, so the hypothetical 'can't win the big one' label was avoided.

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.
