The 2022 World Cup will not be finished in Qatar

I don't think the World Cup's gonna finish. I think it's gonna get canceled for some reason... I don't think it's gonna be finished in Qatar... it sounds like the literal Fire Fest. I'm getting Fire Fest vibes.

The World Cup was successfully completed in Qatar, with Argentina winning the final on December 18, 2022.

Babe Ruth would not even be a Double-A player in today's game

I saw a video, someone found a video of like 19-whatever the fuck he was born, he had a shitty swing. He looked slow and fat. If he was in today's day and age, he wouldn't even fucking be in AA. Who the fuck out of him put down field stands that I'm taking away his pinstripes. I'd probably strike him out.

Inherently subjective comparison of eras, though most experts agree the level of play has exponentially increased.

Justin Fields will have a magical performance against the Packers at Lambeau

Wouldn't it be nice. If a little passing on the torch, Justin Fields went up to Lambeau his first trip to Lambeau, beat the Packers... I definitely deep down, I won't let myself say it in a serious tone because I don't want to be mocked afterwards, but deep down I'm thinking like this could be magical.

The Packers won 45-30. Justin Fields played well (224 yards passing, 74 yards rushing) but it was not a torch-passing victory.

The name change from Staples Center to Crypto.com Arena is disgusting

My system is the Los Angeles Lakers. Oh, they've destroyed their brand by changing their iconic name, the staple center to the crypto center. It's just a terrible idea. And I just think that staple center was such a great and original name. And the fact that they changed it to a corporation is disgusting.

This is a subjective aesthetic and branding opinion.

My sleeper is Cordarrelle Patterson. Oh this is going to be a nice catch. He can return. He can do it all. He's poised for a big game this weekend.

Patterson had a massive Week 4 (3 receiving TDs) and finished 2021 as one of the best fantasy assets in the league.

My stardom is David Ross. When would it ever be a bad idea to hire everyone's best friend to be the manager and boss? That's not going to be bad at all.

Ross managed the Cubs from 2020-2023 with mixed results and was eventually fired for Craig Counsell.

LeBron James only defended China to protect his Space Jam 2 ticket sales

LeBron is so transparent that he only wanted to say nice things about China because he wants to sell his stupid movie Space Jam 2. Space Jam 1 is better.

LeBron's business ties to China and the upcoming Space Jam 2 release were widely cited by critics as the reason for his stance.

Ranking Steph Curry over Kobe Bryant all-time is crazy

This is an ongoing subjective debate in NBA circles, though the ranking was widely seen as a content-generating troll by Bleacher Report.

Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, Alex O'Connell. It's the big three, and Paul Pierce told them they could beat the Cavs, and they could. Dukes, yeah.

While never tested, the consensus among experts is that even the worst NBA team would dominate any college team due to depth and age.

Bad things happen when Notre Dame wears green uniforms

When Notre Dame wears their green uniforms, bad things happen. 2007, they lost 38-0 to USC. 2006, you might remember, it was something a little called the Bush Push... 2002, they lost to Boston College as 10-point favorites... When they wear the green uniforms, bad things happen.

Notre Dame wore green uniforms against Florida State on Nov 10, 2018, and actually won 42-13, breaking the 'jinx' for that week.

The first three Christmas Day NBA unders will always win

I bet the first three Christmas Day unders every single year, and I think it's won every single year for like 15 years. The only year it didn't win was the lockout year when the first game of the season was Christmas Day. And it's basically because everyone's full... And they wear those stupid jerseys... Take the Christmas Day Unders first three.

In 2017, the first three games were 76ers-Knicks (Total 203, Under 216), Wizards-Celtics (Total 214, Under 216), and Rockets-Thunder (Total 219, Over 218). He was 2-1 this year, breaking the 'streak'.

Bitcoin is fake and people should buy land instead

My stardom is land. Bitcoin, currency, it's all fake. You can't see it. Buy something you can see with your own two eyeballs. Buy a plot. Buy an acre. Squat on it.

Fantasy owners should be able to suspend their own players from real-life games

As a fantasy football owner, if I owned Odell Beckham, I think that it should be within my right to actually suspend him. From real games. If a high enough percentage of Odell Beckham Jr.'s fantasy football owners are mad at him for doing something, then let's say above 65%.
