The NFL Draft is essentially just kidnapping players for the benefit of the Cleveland Browns

The only reason [the Browns] can get players to play on their team is by essentially tricking them to join the team via the draft. That's pretty much – the draft is kidnapping players, if we're going to be honest with themselves.

This is a satirical philosophical take on the draft, not a literal claim of criminal kidnapping.

The Cleveland Browns are smarter to do nothing in free agency than to fail spectacularly again

I think the Browns are just playing the game where they fucked up so bad in the past and everything that they've done that not doing anything is actually a smarter move than trying to do something and failing because you can't stay still. You're going to piss off your fans for about six months if you don't do anything in free agency. But a fan's not going to remember that like a year from now.

The Browns went 1-15 in 2016, so doing nothing did not lead to success, though it fits the narrative of their 'Moneyball' era strategy at the time.

Brock Osweiler is the perfect fit to continue the Texans' lineage of awful quarterbacks

Brock Osweiler to the Texans, there has never been a better fit in the entire world. And I'm not talking about fit like, oh, the Texans need a quarterback... I'm talking about Brock Osweiler is the perfect guy to continue the Houston Texans mantle of awful quarterbacks. David Carr, Sage Rosenfels, T.J. Yates, Matt Schaub, Brandon Weeden, Ryan Mallett, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brian Hoyer.

Osweiler was indeed a massive bust for the Texans, lasting only one season before being traded away.

Brock Osweiler is so tall that he will trip a lot in the NFL

Brock Osweiler. He's like six-eight. He's crazy tall, too tall. I feel like he's going to trip a lot in the NFL. Is that crazy?

While Osweiler struggled with pocket presence, there is no data suggesting he 'tripped' more than other players due to his height.

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.
