The NCAA's new compensation rules will create a major/minor league divide in college sports

The NCAA is putting forth a new... regulation... so that certain colleges, any college as a matter of fact can contribute up to $30,000 a year... once this gets into place, it's gonna be like the major leagues, right. Of college sports. Yes. And then everybody else is the minor leagues if this actually ends up happening.

The landscape of college football has rapidly shifted toward a 'Power 2' (Big Ten/SEC) dominance based on financial resources, validating this outlook.

Jake Browning is elite and his performance against the Jaguars proves he is 'Him'

Jake Browning has arrived. He is Elite. I got a question. Is Jake Browning him? He might be... 32 for 37. 354 yards. And a Bengals win.

While Browning had a very respectable run as a backup (finishing with a 98.4 passer rating), he was not 'elite' in a long-term sense and returned to a backup role in 2024.

The NFC is a more difficult conference than the AFC this year

Now it all switches to Is the NFC the real gauntlet? Is NFC really the actual conference this year? Because Yeah. I mean, if you had to do a power rankings of teams, the NFC would have what, three of the top five teams right now?

The 49ers and Lions (NFC) reached the conference championship and were considered elite, while the AFC was dominated primarily by the Chiefs and Ravens.

Jacksonville should have forced Trevor Lawrence to use a golf cart instead of letting him walk to the locker room

Jacksonville, Florida probably has the most golf carts. And they didn't use a single one on Trevor. He said he wanted to walk to the training room... At that point, you need to be like, no, we're gonna get you a cart. You've had, gimme your keys. You've had too much.

This is a subjective opinion on team protocol, though largely echoed by many in the media following the optics of the injury.

England will beat the Netherlands and then lose a heartbreaking match to Argentina

I think England's gonna win this weekend. And then you'll have the realization that it might not actually be coming home after all... losing to Argentina at that stage, that would be the most heartbreaking loss they could possibly have.

Specific tournament outcome needs verification based on the actual 2026 bracket results.

Christian Pulisic is clearly not and cannot be the face of US soccer

I'm just sick of relying on him [Pulisic] to be the face of US soccer because it can't be, it's so clear that he's not.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's leadership/status.

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.
