Gambling Twitter is in the VIP section of the worst parts of Twitter

Gambling Twitter is in VIP of the worst Twitter. It's definitely... I don't know if they're in this Uber VIP up top where Jay-Z is... but they're in VIP. Twitter trolls are definitely in the VIP of the club of Twitter.

This is a subjective opinion about social media culture.

LeBron James travels and could learn how to establish a pivot foot from Gordon Hayward's injury

Hey, LeBron James, you could learn a lot from Gordon Hayward about how to establish a pivot foot. [LeBron] travels.

LeBron's traveling is a subjective, ongoing debate among NBA fans and media.

Kevin Durant lacks the clutch gene and will never win an NBA championship where he is the alpha on the team

Kevin Durant lacks the clutch gene. Doesn't get the ball off on time. [He will never win an NBA championship] where he's the alpha on the team. Beta ball.

Durant won back-to-back NBA championships and Finals MVPs in 2017 and 2018. While on a stacked team, winning Finals MVP twice directly contradicts the idea he couldn't win as the alpha.

The Yankees are going to win the World Series because they have 'the aura'

The Yankees, I think, are going to win the World Series. I'm actually going to say that right now. I think they have what we call the look. I was going to say the aura, actually. The aura.

The Yankees lost the 2017 ALCS in 7 games to the eventual champion Houston Astros.

Rory would NOT have held on at Augusta this year if he hadn't won last year

No, I don't think he would've. I think there's a freedom of — and he said it Saturday — like, 'I gotta remind myself that I'm still tied for the lead and I have a green jacket.' And I think if he had to, knowing it's Scotty and it's a one shot lead and he's never won here and he's trying to finish a career grand slam — no. And that's not a knock on him, that's just an acknowledgement of how heavy the weight would've been if he didn't win last year.

This is inherently a counterfactual opinion about Rory's psychology — can't be definitively verified.

Scottie Scheffler will end up with more career majors than Rory McIlroy

Scotty just has more runway. If he's six years younger, so that's 24 more majors. I'll take Scottie. I'm just trying to be hot take Scottie. Late night hot take Scottie.

Both players are active and in their prime in 2026.

Rory McIlroy's Masters win was primarily 100% relief

It was almost all relief. And the thing that Andy North described to me... you feel so much more relief than joy... it was so obvious that sure there's joy in there... but clearly it was like, just thank God I did it.

Rory himself later admitted it was a burden, supporting this view.
