The Miami Dolphins will win 6 or 7 games in 2019 despite the tanking narrative

I think the Dolphins are going to go 6-10, 7-9. I'll take the under on that [Big Cat's 4 wins]. I've tricked myself into thinking Daniel Jones will be a very good NFL quarterback. That one I could see happening. Because the Dolphins winning seven games is the most insane thing I've ever heard.

The Dolphins went 5-11. PFT was slightly optimistic, but they did win more than the 0-16 some predicted.

The SEC is effectively dead and should relegate Tennessee or Missouri

SEC is pretty much dead. So I think they have to look at getting rid of either Tennessee or Mizzou at this point. If you lose a week one game against an inferior opponent, you should just become a member of whatever conference that they're from.

The SEC was far from dead; LSU (an SEC team) went on to have arguably the greatest season in CFB history and win the National Championship in 2019.

Florida State's week one loss is an easy fix because they just forgot to hydrate

Florida State's excuse is that the boys didn't drink enough water pregame. So they're going to get that fixed. They're going to get that turnaround. It's an easy fix.

Florida State went on to finish the 2019 season 6-7 and fired Willie Taggart in November, proving it was not an easy fix.

The Tennessee football program is suffering from the Curse of Greg Schiano

24-point favorites. I'll say it. Curse of Greg Schiano. All you crazy Tennessee fans on Twitter. Thank you, Big Cat. Led by someone, I don't know, decided to oust Greg Schiano before he could even get the job and bring back Phil Fulmer.

Tennessee continued to struggle for several years after this, only finding real success under Josh Heupel years later.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.

Christian Pulisic was a 'no-show' and looked like he didn't care against Belgium

Christian Pulisic, the long anointed Captain America future face of this league for American soccer. Absolute no show of a game, I would say worse than a no show of a game. And then he checks himself out. Just looks lackluster, looks like he doesn't care at all. Had the most turnovers on the field of anybody. That played just really, really, really bad.

Subjective evaluation of Pulisic's effort and performance.

The US will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer

People will never close the skill gap. USA will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer.

Historically, the US has struggled to produce technical talent on par with Brazil or Europe.
