The LIV Golf tour is a failure as a sports-washing operation because it only makes people talk about Saudi Arabia's human rights record

The entire premise of the LIV tour through the public investment fund is to be like a giant commercial for Saudi Arabia... It's been a gigantic failure on that respect because all anyone talks about is how bad Saudi Arabia is when LIV tour comes up... it's definitely the Streisand effect.

While LIV gained traction later, its early years were dominated by controversy rather than positive PR for Saudi Arabia.

Russell Wilson is reaching 'turn on tweet notifications' territory because of how corny he is

I was thinking about that yesterday. [Russell Wilson] is dangerously close to crossing into turn on tweet notifications territory. Because like, you never know what you're gonna get with [Russell Wilson] and it's going to be extremely corny, but extremely funny.

This is subjective social media commentary.

The Bengals' white helmets will make them faster on offense but a liability on special teams

I think that the Bengals white helmets, it makes them faster on offense. They'll score... but special teams will be liability, kick coverage, especially, and kickoff returns. I don't see that working out well.

This is satirical and cannot be verified by stats.

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.
