The new Monday Night Football booth will be Joe Tessitore, Jason Witten, and Booger McFarland

Booger, he got the gig as first reported by me. The Monday Night Football gig. So it's going to be Booger, Jason Witten, and then [Joe Tessitore]... as far as I know, the first to say it was me.

This was the exact MNF booth for the 2018 season.

Brad Stevens is the best coach in the NBA

I mean, I think [Brad Stevens] is the best coach in the game. He's a mad scientist.

While Stevens was highly regarded, he never won an NBA title as coach and later moved to the front office. Most analysts would eventually rank Spoelstra or Kerr higher during this era.

Ben Simmons is playing like a rookie because he can't shoot

It's a real problem that [Ben Simmons] can't shoot. He's playing like a rookie. So this actually... I've changed my mind now. He is a rookie based on how he's been playing.

Simmons' inability to shoot did indeed remain the defining flaw of his career.

Brad Stevens is a better coach with less talent than Gregg Popovich has ever been

I saw some people saying that Brad Stevens is doing more with less than Popovich ever has. [Big Cat:] I'd agree... Popovich had Tim Duncan, who's like a top 10 player of all time... People are pretending that [the Celtics] are not talented because they don't have their number one guy, but they still have a ton of talent.

History has favored Popovich significantly. Stevens eventually left coaching for a front-office role without a title, while Popovich is the all-time wins leader.

The US loss to Turkey in the World Cup group stage means absolutely nothing

The second that we got scored on by Turkey in the last minute, don't really care at all that we lost that game. That game means less than nothing to us. No one's gonna remember what you did in that third game. We already advanced first in our group.

The US advanced as the top seed despite the loss, making the result literally irrelevant to their tournament survival.

Belgium's national soccer team isn't that good

I don't think that Belgium's that good. I'll say it. Maybe I'm looking past Bosnia and Herzegovina, but in Senegal path, I love it.

Belgium's tournament performance will determine if they are indeed 'not that good.'

VAR makes soccer a lot worse, especially for offsides calls.

I think that soccer is one sport that we can say the VAR it makes a lot of stuff worse. Yeah, the offsides on the VAR is so much worse.

This is a subjective opinion about the impact of VAR on the enjoyment of soccer.
