The NFL salary cap isn't actually enforced and the league just sends 'strongly worded letters' to teams over the limit

My theory is that the NFL just said, okay, we're going to make a salary cap... but they don't actually have a guy that's tracking it and enforcing actual penalties... They just send a strongly worded letter saying you are currently $2 million over the salary cap... and then they just never follow up on that.

The NFL salary cap is strictly enforced with actual fines, draft pick forfeitures, and contract voiding; the Rams simply use clever accounting and restructures.

There will definitely be a Game 6 in the NBA Finals

I do think there will be a game six, unfortunately. Very scared about game four.

Correct. The series went to 6 games, with the Warriors winning in Boston.

The Celtics would have won by now if they didn't constantly throw up stinkers and let down in the third quarter

The Celtics, like what they have gotten better at over the season... they still do it to an extent it happened in the third quarter as they just we'll just let down. And all of a sudden they have terrible runs... they just throw up stinkers. I think that's been, it's been the most, it was like this in Milwaukee series, like this, the Miami series.

The Celtics did have a tendency to lose leads and play inconsistent stretches, famously blowing several big leads in this specific Finals series before ultimately losing to the Warriors.

The Warriors are impossible to beat if Steph Curry and Klay Thompson both have a night where they're 'on' from start to finish

If those two guys make all their shots, if they get to a night where they're both on, then they're pretty much impossible to beat. It doesn't matter how good the Celtics can play... but they're not going to be able to do that. Like that's not, it's impossible for them to sustain that type of basketball.

While Klay was inconsistent, Steph had a legendary series (including 43 points in Game 4) that ultimately proved the Warriors were not only beatable but capable of outplaying the Celtics' defense.

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.
