Vladimir Putin's decision to dope the Paralympic team shows an admirable commitment to winning.
I almost respect that. Like I'm now kind of on Putin's side. If you're going to the extreme lengths of taking your most vulnerable citizens and saying, we're going to pump you up with horse steroids, that's at least a commitment to winning.

View episodeMark Teixeira is one of the most forgettable great players of all time.
Mark Teixeira, I think, goes down as the most forgettable great player ever. Like one of the most forgettable great players of all time. He has over 400 home runs. He was great at first base. He won a title. And do you think there is a single Mark Teixeira fan out there?
Alex Rodriguez never truly earned his pinstripes.
Did A-Rod ever earn his pinstripes? I would say no.
A-Rod will enter the Hall of Fame as a Seattle Mariner.
I don't think he's a true Yankee. I think he goes in the Hall of Fame as a Mariner.

View profileThe overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension is the smallest piece of justice the United States has ever received from FIFA
The United States has never benefited from FIFA's corruption before, and it feels like we've been left out of that party. If this is our taste of the corruption, and all the corruption is just overturning a suspension that should never have been given in the first place... it's the smallest piece of justice that the United States could ever get from FIFA.
The sensor chips inside soccer balls are bullshit and not perfectly aligned with the cameras
I'm so deep into this chip in the ball thing, I've become convinced that it's all bullshit. The sensors, yes, they're there and yes, they pick up on stuff, but there's no chance that it is perfectly aligned with the 50 cameras that are running concurrently in the stadium on live TV at any given time.
Brandon Aiyuk is in a bad space mentally and will not be signing with the Washington Commanders.
The Washington Commanders have released Brandon [Aiyuk] today from the contract that he didn't sign with us and was never going to sign. Things got kind of weird over the weekend. So [Aiyuk] was saying like talking shit about Jayden's mom... I think that should probably put an end to the Brandon [Aiyuk] to the Commanders rumors. But I was never really on board for it, it's been weird for quite some time with Brandon. I hope he gets whatever help he needs. It doesn't seem like he's in a good space mentally. And it seems like even his best oldest friends have tried to help him and he just burns those bridges too.
