If Novak Djokovic ties Federer and Nadal in Grand Slams, he is the GOAT

Once he equalizes with Federer and Nadal, I think at that point it's like, yeah, Djokovic is GOAT. And head-to-head he's dominated both of them, right?

Djokovic eventually surpassed both (reaching 24 titles) and is now widely considered the GOAT by statistical standards.

Novak Djokovic is the tennis GOAT

Novak Djokovic... He's the fucking goat. Suck on this dick, Jake. I am the number one Novak Djokovic fan out there. He wins his 18th title. 18th major... He's the fucking goat.

As of 2024, Djokovic holds the record for most Grand Slam titles (24), strengthening the statistical argument for him being the GOAT.

Fear of missing out (FOMO) is the correct reason to get into Bitcoin or Top Shot

If the only reason you're getting into it is a fear of missing out, that's the wrong reason? No, no, no, no. That's exactly the only reason to get in. The only reason to get into all of these things is that you don't want to someday be pumping the gas for a fucking Bitcoin billionaire's boat.

This is a philosophical approach to high-risk investing and social trends.

Tennis players should get a point for hitting a line judge

I think they should just make a new sport where the lines are always live and if you hit a line judge, you get an extra point. ... A dodgeball tennis hybrid. ... I'm saying you should get a point added on.

This is a satirical suggestion for a rule change that obviously never happened.

Serena Williams was being a baby and stole the moment from Naomi Osaka

It felt to me like she was being a little bit of a baby and she was losing and wanted to kind of make a scene. And it sort of stole the moment from the person who actually did win, Naomi Osaka.

This is a subjective assessment of a sporting controversy.

Roger Federer should be investigated for PED use because he's been too good for too long

I'm thinking about doing a witch hunt with Federer. Has anybody ever looked into PEDs with him? Because it feels like he's been too good for too long... Roger Federer probably did PEDs.

There has never been a confirmed PED link to Roger Federer.

I prematurely predicted a Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal US Open semifinal

I think I prematurely said that Roger Federer was going to be in the semifinals with Rafa. Turns out I kind of jumped the gun on that one. Federer lost to a guy named El Chapo... Denis Shapovalov.

He correctly admits his prediction failed, even if the details on who beat whom were slightly garbled.

Roger Federer will beat Rafael Nadal at the US Open

I'm going to go Federer.

Federer lost in the quarterfinals to Juan Martín del Potro, so the matchup with Nadal never happened. Nadal went on to win the tournament.

Tennis is the only sport where crying is acceptable and mandatory

I think that if there's one sport where crying is acceptable, if not mandatory, it's tennis. In fact, if Federer had wept... You have to cry in tennis. Then he's the classiest gentleman of all time to play the game.

Crying is common in tennis but certainly not a mandatory rule or generally viewed as essential by non-satirists.

Serena Williams isn't the best athlete ever if she won't play Wimbledon while 9 months pregnant

I am upset, though, that Serena's not playing because she's pregnant. So I guess she can play when she's just like three months pregnant, but she can't play when she's nine. Fully pregnant. Not the best athlete of all time. With child. I can think of 700 male tennis players that would be fine playing when their wives were pregnant.

Biologically and logically absurd, fulfilling the satirical intent.
