Soccer is a joke because games are decided by penalty kicks with lasers in players' faces

NFL fans will eventually find a new reason to complain about the overtime rules

The Chicago Bulls are in a free fall and are currently a terrible basketball team

Villanova cannot win the national championship because their bench is too thin following Justin Moore's injury

The Will Smith slap of Chris Rock was fake because Will Smith taught a kid how to fake slap a month prior

It would be 'fucking hilarious' if the US Men's National Soccer Team loses by 6 goals and misses the World Cup

If the U.S. team loses by six goals tonight then they don't automatically qualify... I as a giant U.S. men's national team soccer fan, I can admit that if they lose by six goals tonight and don't qualify, that is fucking hilarious. I hope either they win or they lose by six or more goals tonight.

The US lost 2-0 to Costa Rica, which was sufficient to qualify on goal differential. They did not lose by 6.

LeBron James has it in his contract that he cannot be shown in Lakers loss photos on Twitter

Every single time the Lakers lose a game and they post the final score on Twitter, they never include a picture of LeBron... I absolutely think this is in his contract. He definitely put this in his contract. So you cannot include me in any lost pictures.

There is no public evidence this is a contractual clause; it is likely a choice by social media managers or a coincidence highlighted by fans.

Over the next five years, there will be more changes in college athletics than any previous ten-year period. And it's because of the ability to not be able to adjust.

Kansas is going to win the national championship because of their superior defensive talent

The way Kansas played in the second half yesterday, their talent is worthy of being in the Final Four. Their coach is a Hall of Famer, but what they were doing defensively just absolutely negated an incredible run by Miami. So I would probably be against the grain, but I think... Kansas is going to be right there.

Kansas went on to win the 2022 National Championship, defeating Villanova and North Carolina.

I am the greatest 7th round draft pick underdog in NFL history

While Brown is a very successful 7th round pick, players like Shannon Sharpe (Hall of Famer) and Donald Driver are statistically more decorated, making 'greatest' a subjective debate.

Raising children as fans of losing teams like the Lions or Browns is good for their character development

I think that a healthy amount of adversity—losing, growing up—actually has a good impact on the kid for learning how to deal with all that. Whereas if they... just made them say like a Patriots fan who also rooted for Duke, then they'd turn out to be a real piece of shit.

The term Blue Blood is subjective, but Villanova's two titles in three years (2016, 2018) made this a common debate in 2022.

A UNC win would prove Roy Williams is a better coach than Coach K
