Weights are physically heavier in 'shitty' gyms with no air conditioning

He trained in the shittiest gyms. And I think that those weights are, in fact, heavier in shitty gyms. If you go to a place that's 100 degrees inside, that's got cobwebs and dust and shit everywhere, you're going to get a better pump than if you go to a Gold's Gym in Manhattan Beach.

A pound is a pound, but the difficulty of the workout increases due to heat and environment, which is the spirit of the take.

My ping pong victory over PFT Commenter is like the Bulls finally beating the Pistons

It's like MJ [Michael Jordan] versus the Pistons, except in this situation, no one got to saw the Pistons beat the Bulls.

The Pistons did beat the Bulls for several years (the 'Jordan Rules' era) before Jordan finally broke through in 1991. It's a subjective sports analogy.

The internet has just become Rex Chapman's Twitter feed

The entire internet has just become Rex Chapman's Twitter feed. Yes. End it.

The NFL will never allow hot mics on players because coaches are too paranoid

Do you think the NFL is going to let players have a hot mic? It's not the XFL. Do you think Bill Belichick's going to let his team have a hot mic? The NFL is full of coaches that are the most paranoid people in the world. Do you think they're going to be willingly allowing all of their schemes and everything to be just said out loud? No way!

Coaches remain extremely guarded about on-field audio to prevent teams from stealing signals or cadences, which supports Big Cat's view.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

The Celtics are no longer eligible to be the NBA's team of the 2020s without Jaylen Brown

If the Celtics rebuild and they get back to like the NBA finals, let's say in like 2029, let's say they win another chip in 2029, that's a different team. Like the core is completely different without Jalen Brown. I don't know that you could consider the Celtics to ever even be eligible for team of the 2020s. Because it's gonna be two different iterations of the team.

Inherently subjective criteria for what constitutes a 'team of the decade'.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

This is a subjective opinion on sporting rules.
