The Lakers signed Dwight Howard to be the fall guy for LeBron James

Lakers fans, no matter what happens, no matter how shitty the team plays, they're going to hate LeBron or they're going to hate Dwight more than they hate LeBron. So LeBron has a real easy fall guy to point at and Dwight Howard and then be like, we got rid of the fall guy. Now it's time for us to gel as a team.

Subjective. However, the Lakers ended up winning the title in 2020 with Howard playing a constructive role, so he didn't end up needing to be a 'fall guy'.

Felipe Franks still stinks as a college quarterback

[Felipe Franks] still stinks. He still stinks. But when Andrew Luck retired, the discourse shifted...

Subjective opinion on player performance, though Franks' tenure at Florida was widely criticized for inconsistency.

Adam Schefter blowing up the retirement timeline caused Andrew Luck to be booed in Indianapolis

Schefter dropped it in the middle of the third quarter of the game and Andrew Luck then left the field... to boos... Schefter did his job, but, dude, you are the reason why the timeline got moved up. You announced it and basically blew up Andrew Luck's entire plan of telling his teammates first.

The factual timeline (Schefter tweeting during the game) is correct. Whether it directly *caused* the boos is an interpretation, but a logical one.

Ryan Grigson should be charged with war crimes for how he managed Andrew Luck

Ryan Grigson should basically go to like, he should be charged with war crimes. Just put him down to Cuba. Andrew Luck's first four years in the NFL, he got hit more than any other quarterback. They didn't have an offensive line protecting a franchise quarterback.

The factual basis that Luck was the most-hit QB is verifiable and generally true, though the 'war crimes' part is obviously satirical hyperbole.

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.

Subjective opinion on the entertainment value of a game.

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.

Subjective critique of a corporate event.

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.

Subjective opinion about the internal motives of golf officials.
