I think his take at the end that having Simpson in the 15 to 20 range is better than Mendoza at 1 makes a lot of sense.

I’m not sure Simpson is better than Mendoza because Simpson’s deep ball was pretty lacking at times. I do think people outside of Alabama and the SEC don’t appreciate how bad the Alabama offense was outside of Simpson.

The running game, including RPO, was nonexistent even against light boxes. Simpson had to pick apart defenses with the defense playing for a pass every play.

I think it should be a week or 10 days and replace the all star break. I feel that every league except the NFL should move this way given the ratings hockey has pulled for the 4 nations and the Olympics, and now baseball with the WBC.

I think it’d be smart to try to get a big game on the 4th of July. Team USA playing America’s pass time on Independence Day. Seems like the easiest sell ever.

Kind of unlucky for us that Sweden finished all the way down as a 7 seed. That’s probably who we’ll play Wednesday.

In Swayman’s defense on the last one, Miller has to close that space more. Staying that far back is doing more to screen your own goalie than to block the shot.

I doubt we see Swayman start another game this Olympics

After they got him coached up what to and what not to say. Believe his words when he didn't think the mic would pick it up and his body language as he left the bench.

I thought he handled himself pretty well given the circumstances.

Sponsors aren’t going to drop him over that. They might over just losing, but I doubt anyone is going to care beyond this week that a hot mic caught him saying he should have been on the 2022 team.

I am too now, but I think it’s crazy to not have a U.S. gold medal match on a broadcast or cable network.

WTH they're cutting away from the match?

Seriously. Seems like a gimmick to get me a back on Peacock for the 2 months every 4 years

Also the comments are so mild. The comments from Hess are the only ones that are remotely controversial (and he didn’t come off eloquent), but I can’t imagine how someone would get fired up about it.

Also, these guys will complain about this and say the Olympics are woke then turn on the Super Bowl where I guarantee a higher percentage of the athletes are woke than the Olympic team.

Miami-scoff all you want but Miami pulls in about a little more than 3 million viewers per Saturday. This is more than Tennessee, Auburn, Vanderbilt and Missouri. Miami is the 12th most watched team in the country.

Over 3M is correct, but they finished 19th in the country behind all 4 of the teams you listed. That was also in a season they made it to the national title.
