UCLA is America's team because they are the most fun blueblood to root for

I think UCLA is America's team. They're the most fun blueblood to root for. They're kind of scrappy underdogs right now. Not only with their head coach, but also they've lost a lot of players of injuries.

The concept of 'America's Team' is inherently subjective and varies by fan base.

Virginia's 2019 National Title was a fluke

Virginia's upset loss to Furman further proves 2019 national title was a fluke... Do they suck? I don't even think their national title counts anymore.

While they did win the title, their history around it includes being the first #1 seed to lose to a #16, and multiple subsequent losses to double-digit seeds.

John Shire's blue sweater is bringing Hank back to being a Duke fan

I think John Shire's sweater is bringing Duke Hank's Duke fandom back... Duke fans are sitting at home looking at that. And they probably flew off the shelves.

Subjective as it relates to Hank's internal fandom and the influence of a sweater.

Conor McGregor likely fought on an existing injury and aggravated it during the fight

I think it was probably hurt and probably aggravated it during the fight. Now, would it shock me to know that Conor McGregor tore his ACL in training and then he just pretended that it wasn't hurt? No, that wouldn't surprise me either. But I think it was probably something wrong with it and when he went out there to try to fight on it immediately, just it told him, 'no, you can't do this.'

While confirmed by some medical reports later, the exact state of his knee pre-fight remains a point of debate.

England was the much better team, but Erling Haaland is a one-man squad for Norway

England was a much, much better team. But... that guy that didn't pass the ball to Erling Haaland, give me a break. Haaland, you are a one man team and that's okay.

Subjective opinion on Haaland's role.

The World Cup being expanded to 64 teams is just a monetization play by Gianni Infantino

He wanted to turn it into American sports and he wanted to use this World Cup to learn how we're able to monetize every single facet of our sports. And the fact that it was somebody whispered like, 'Hey, you know, the NCAA tournament they used to do 64, everybody loved that bracket.' He thought about that and he was like, 'that's a great idea. I think I will, I'll try to do that.'

The World Cup expansion is a fact; the motivation is subjective but widely believed to be financial.
