Fencing should be moved to the Winter Olympics

Why is fencing a summer Olympic sport? I don't know... [Big Cat: Gymnastics is also inside.] Fencing [should be moved].

Noah Lyles' 100m gold medal win officially puts him on the Mount Rushmore of track and field

Noah Lyles... won the 100 meters... I'm envisioning myself returning home as a gold medalist and that puts me on Mount Rushmore.

The 'Mount Rushmore' of an entire sport is subjective.

The US Women's Rugby team could win gold because of Ilona Maher

I think that the US Women's Rugby could win the gold medal because they've got Ilona Maher who, she had two all time truck stick runs. She's like Lady Rob Gronkowski. She's fucking awesome. And she a tank running people over.

The US women's rugby sevens team won the bronze medal, not gold.

After Reggie Bush's Heisman return, we must campaign for Barry Bonds, Pete Rose, and Rick Pitino to have their honors restored

We need to now focus all of our energy because... it's like a dog chasing a car. You catch it and you're like, what do we do now? Barry Bonds Hall of Fame. ... Pete Rose Hall of Fame. ... Rick Pitino Louisville Banner back up. ... Armando Galarraga, gotta get his perfect game. ... We can do anything with mob mentality.

These are subjective opinions on sporting honors.

We need less regular season and more playoffs in all sports

Do you know what we need less of? Is the regular season? We need more playoffs in all things. Playoffs aren't the best... Every league is expanding. And I get the argument like, you know, the making the playoffs means less, you're gonna have bad teams, but then when you start the playoffs, there's just more playoffs. And that fucking rules.

This is a subjective preference about sports structures.

Miami, Anaheim, and Arlington are not 'we' towns for sports fans

I would say like Miami, probably not a we town. Yeah, right. Maybe Anaheim. Anaheim, not a we town. Arlington, Texas. Yeah, not a we town.

The 'we' town designation is a subjective measure of community fan identity.

The Waterdogs will lose both of their games this weekend against Chaos and Chrome

Today, Chaos versus Water Dogs. L for us. ...And then on Sunday, the Waterdogs take another L to the Chrome. NBC Sports Network, 1 p.m. Eastern.

The Waterdogs actually won both games that weekend, defeating Chaos 14-12 and Chrome 14-12.

Ronald Acuna Jr. and Luka Doncic are the faces of baseball and basketball

Ronald Acuna and Luka Doncic, are they both the faces of their respective sports? ... they both have a young crop of superstars. He [Acuna] needs to take over the league.

Both players became perennial All-Stars and major faces of their leagues (Acuna won 2023 MVP, Luka became a multi-time All-NBA first teamer).

I should fire the Water Dogs coach for that second-half collapse against the Atlas

I think we should fire our coach [Andy Copeland] just straight up. You can't have a loss like that. It's what, two goals in the last 18 minutes? We took our foot off the gas. It's unacceptable. He should be on the hot seat.

The coach, Andy Copeland, was not fired immediately and led the team through the 2023 season before they transitioned to a different structure.

Lacrosse is legitimate tribal warfare

Lacrosse is sick, like everyone is looking at Lacrosse wrong, like Lacrosse is just like legitimately trying Tribal Warfare in the mud... Tribal Warfare is back in form of Lacrosse.

While poetic and based on the sport's Indigenous roots, this is ultimately a subjective stylistic opinion.

MLB and NBA will both return in July 2020

I have a prediction that we will have baseball and basketball in the month of July.

MLB returned on July 23, 2020, and the NBA bubble games began on July 30, 2020. Prediction was spot on.

NBA and MLB return plans for 2020 sound completely fictitious

I do not feel they're coming back. I think that the ideas that are being thrown around sound like they're just pitches... that MLB story today about a hundred games or whatever all in conference three home stadiums, that sounds like the most fictitious, it sounds like what happens after a bombing in 24.

Incorrect, as both MLB and the NBA successfully returned in 2020 using modified formats (60-game season for MLB and the Orlando Bubble for the NBA).

The Waterdogs will have a stadium built exclusively with taxpayer money

I'd like to do a census, some type of study to figure out where we could build a stadium exclusively with the taxpayer's money. I don't want to pay anything for my new stadium. Let's find out... figure out what location in America the voters are dumb enough that they'll just give us a lacrosse stadium.

The PLL remains a touring model without permanent home stadiums owned by teams.

I will bet on the Waterdogs and the over in every Waterdogs game

I want to be able to bet on the dogs and the over in dogs games. [Paul Rabil] says as long as we don't short our teams, we can wet our beak elsewhere.

PFT and Big Cat frequently discussed betting on their own team once the season started.

The NFL should legalize marijuana for players to help with trauma and pain

I think I definitely guarantee contracts and maybe something with the marijuana issues... because I feel like a lot of guys... have had certain traumas in their life that maybe prescription meds doesn't do the thing for them.

The NFL has since relaxed its marijuana rules, though it remains a banned substance for some purposes.

The Ryan Lochte robbery story in Rio was blown out of proportion.

I think some of it was blown out of proportion, but I'm glad I wasn't with him and got robbed.

Whether it was 'blown out of proportion' is a matter of perspective, though Lochte was eventually charged with making a false report.

The five-year Hall of Fame wait rule is good because it humbles players

I love the five-year rule because it gives players time to taste what it's like to be kind of irrelevant, put on a little bit of weight, and then they show up at their Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and they're humbled a little bit. They've gained a few pounds in the cheek, neck area, so they're more accessible to the fans.

This is entirely an opinion on how Hall of Fame processes should work.
