The fumble-through-the-end-zone touchback rule is a good rule that should not be changed

Everyone out there tweets the same thing. This is the worst rule in sports. Fuck you. It's not, it's actually a great rule. The end zone exists as a special place in football. There's different rules in the end zone... It's an agent of chaos too, which I, I like that little bit of uncertainty when you get down to the goal line.

This is a subjective debate about NFL rule quality.

Michael Penix Jr. should be the first quarterback taken in the NFL Draft

Michael Penix [Jr.] should be the first quarterback taken in the draft. He was so good tonight, I think this might be the best college football performance from a quarterback I've seen in a very long time. He was like going back to Cam Newton.

Penix was not the first QB taken; Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake May were all selected before him.

Jalen Milroe played poorly against Michigan, looking like his early-season self

I thought [Jalen] Milroe stunk today. I thought Milroe looked a lot like old Milroe and not new Milroe. It was frustrating if you're an Alabama fan, he couldn't even connect on like a five, six yard pass. Everything looked a little bit outta sorts. Michigan was able to lean on him a little bit.

Milroe struggled significantly in the Rose Bowl loss to Michigan, completing only 63% of passes for 116 yards and getting sacked six times.

Lefty quarterbacks are harder for defenses to intercept because the ball's spin is different

Isn't it also harder for defenses to intercept a lefty quarterback? ... The spin of the ball. Safety [struggles to] catch it. They don't think about the fact that it's hard for a safety to catch it.

While often cited by defenders as a nuisance, there is no definitive statistical proof that lefty QBs are fundamentally harder to intercept.

The US loss to Turkey in the World Cup group stage means absolutely nothing

The second that we got scored on by Turkey in the last minute, don't really care at all that we lost that game. That game means less than nothing to us. No one's gonna remember what you did in that third game. We already advanced first in our group.

The US advanced as the top seed despite the loss, making the result literally irrelevant to their tournament survival.

Belgium's national soccer team isn't that good

I don't think that Belgium's that good. I'll say it. Maybe I'm looking past Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in Senegal path, I love it.

Belgium's tournament performance will determine if they are indeed 'not that good.'

VAR makes soccer a lot worse, especially for offsides calls.

I think that soccer is one sport that we can say the VAR it makes a lot of stuff worse. Yeah, the offsides on the VAR is so much worse.

This is a subjective opinion about the impact of VAR on the enjoyment of soccer.
