The NBA has the best offseason in sports

The NBA by far and away has the best offseason in terms of the free agency period and players moving around and teams completely changing the course of their next four to five years in a matter of moments.

While subjective, the NBA offseason is widely cited as the most transactional and dramatic in North American sports.

NBA superstars have so much control that they will likely demand trades again next year regardless of their current moves

I guess right now they are changing the course of the teams for the next four years. But then next year, a lot of these [NBA] players could just be like, I want to trade again because that's how much control they have over their destiny.

The subsequent years saw major trade demands from stars like James Harden, Ben Simmons, and Kevin Durant, validating the take.

The NBA entered a period of 'duos' rather than LeBron-centric superteams following this move.

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.
