The NFL should keep the seventh playoff seed

To the people that are saying we should not have a seventh playoff seed: you're wrong. Fuck you. If we didn't have that last week, these matchups would have been better... speak as a team that's like, that's our ceiling really is this 7th seed. Just like you and the Bears last year, right? Like just getting to the playoffs, that's absolutely worth having that extra seat in there.

The 7th seed has remained in the NFL since this take, and in 2024, the 7th seed (Packers) defeated the 2nd seed (Cowboys).

The Eagles drafting Jalen Reagor before Justin Jefferson was a mistake and Reagor is a bust

Beer before liquor, you'll never be sicker; Jalen [Reagor] before Justin [Jefferson], you just drafted a busted.

Justin Jefferson became one of the best receivers in the NFL immediately, while Reagor struggled and was eventually traded away by the Eagles after just two seasons.

The Steelers aren't in a bad position as a franchise despite Big Ben's retirement

If you look at the entire NFL, the Steelers are not in a bad, like, no, it wasn't Big Ben with it. His last ride was with all his guys... they have pieces on offense. They just need a quarterback and an offensive line.

Since Big Ben retired, the Steelers have remained competitive but have struggled significantly at the quarterback position (Pickett, Trubisky), largely proving the 'just need a QB' part right but also highlighting how hard that is to find.

If Messi wins the 2026 World Cup, he is the GOAT of all sports GOATs

So if he wins the World Cup again, I'm prepared to say he might be the GOAT GOAT. Like the GOAT of GOATs. Right now I think Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali are both tied for the GOAT GOAT... But Messi could get on the Mount Rushmore of GOAT GOATs.

Messi has reached the 2026 final in this transcript. A win would make him a back-to-back champion, making the GOAT claim very strong.

France will beat England in the World Cup third-place game, giving England the all-time record for third-place game losses.

England has, they've got the possibility to set the all time record for most third place game losses. Right now they're tied with Brazil with two. If they lose another one, then that would mean that they have that record on their own. And if you look back through history or at least recent history, three of the last five champions of the World Cup go on to win the third place game the next year. So that would mean that France would win this third place game and England would etch their names into history.

Pending the outcome of the 2026 World Cup 3rd-place game between France and England.

The outcome of Manuel's tenure and the NCAA investigation at Michigan remains to be seen.
