Jordan Spieth is the 5th best golfer in the world, at best.

He won at Augusta because he is one of the best putters in the world and those greens reward that. His US open win happened because he made one more putt than DJ. If his putting ever leaves him, he is in trouble.

Rory, Day, Stenson and DJ's best are far better than Spieth's.

Kobe isn't a top 10 player of all time.

The NFL should get rid of the AFC and NFC. It should be 4 divisions South, NE, NW and West. Top 3 from each division make the playoffs. The divisions play on either side of the bracket rotates each year.

Boxing and MMA are rigged.

College basketball is totally unwatchable. The NCAA tourney is a snooze fest.

I think college football is boring and I barely watch it. The quarterbacks cannot throw, the kickers cannot kick, and only a few teams are any good.

Soccer really is a beautiful game. I thought it was "gay" as a kid. It's 20 guys chasing a ball and kicking the shite out of each other for 90+ minutes and two guys trying to stop the ball from crossing a line. One of the main objectives is getting behind the defense, but you can't be behind the defense when the pass is played; making timing, vision, accuracy, athleticism, and being on the same page as your teammates a paramount to success.

Plus there aren't any commercials or timeouts

That's not true. League average is right around where it's been for the last 10 years, probably more.

and teams like the Rockets taking 40 threes in a game.
Again, what's the problem? The Rockets have basically maximized their offense based on the talent they have, they're literally about as good as they could be. So...what's the issue?

So, he is o lay good because of his putting, which is the most important tool for a pro golfer

And if that tool leaves him, he will suck

Hit take

"Brady is only good because he can throw the ball. That's it. He is slow and h athletic. If his throwing ability ever leaves him, he is finished"

Stats nerds with all their new 'advanced metrics' are helping to ruin baseball.

Soccer would be more watchable if there were more goals.

I did a similar thread on the movie/tv board. I'll start. While the Warriors are good at what they do, they are one of the worst things to happen to the NBA with copy cats and their over reliance on threes.


I tend to think that it was inevitable, and I wouldn't blame the Warriors in particular.

When one shot is 50% more effective offensively than another, and the difference in efficiency for elite players between the two is only ~ 10 - 15%, then it was basically impossible for the game to stay a classic inside/outside game. Someone was eventually going to figure that out, and it just sorta/kinda happened to be the Warriors, though there were analogs before them, too.

That's not unpopular.

CFB and CBB are very mediocre products.

Soccer is awesome

Baseball will be the most popular sport again in 15-20 years.

I hate Pierre Thomas. I blame him for bountygate and not winning the SB in 2011. ALL HIS FAULT.

Oh also if you flip your bat or stare down a homerun that's all well and good, but don't bitch about it when you get drilled in the ribs next time through the order

I'm the exact opposite. Baseball players are baby back bitches because they can't tolerate celebration. How about not giving up a three run jack next time?

My entry for this thread is that TD passes is a really dumb way to evaluate/rate QBs. ZOMG Rodgers threw four 2 yd TD passes today, he's the GOAT!

Bean balls make the game more exciting. I have no problem that most of the players these days are friends and whatnot but there needs to be a little more animosity put back into the game.

The animosity and vitriol is why hockey is so great.

i have him in the 7-8'ish range but interested to hear your reasoning? His entire career was when the league was at it's peek..... Ended his career dropping 60+ with zero lift in his legs. Not to mention it was a Win via vintage Mamba

negative ghostrider. Most of his career was actually during a downswing of the NBA. He entered the league when it was ending its last peak
