Monday, July 21, 202510 takes

Scottie Scheffler wins again and his dominating year continues. The Open was such a snooze fest that we resorted to Tiger vs Scottie debates and people forget how awesome Tiger was (-). WNBA created noise with some t-shirts (-). National sports podcast talking baseball (-). Hurt or Injured Justin Herbert for his red contacts (-). Who's back of the week including Hank's UFC recap, Coldplay and understanding the NFLPA mess that Pablo Torre and Mike Florio uncovered (-). Mt Rushmore of best bad movies (-). Alex Caruso and Baker Mayfield join the show to talk ball, Caruso winning a Title, Baker finding the chip on his shoulder after his hater list has grown so small, their mutual hate for University of Texas and more (-). MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred joins the show to talk about the successful All Star Break, competitive balance in the league, should their be an age restriction on the HR Derby, dumb rules and more (-). We finish with lottery ball numbers (:4-).

Scottie Scheffler must stay ranked number one in the world for 10 years to equal Tiger Woods' reign

I think Scotty has to stay ranked number one in the world for the next 10 years to equal Tiger's reign. Tiger Woods was just unreal. It's not going to be the same.

The outcome of Scheffler's career longevity is pending.

WNBA team salary caps should be increased to $3 million

I happen to agree with the shirt because I went gut check 1.5 million feels too low. It does feel like we've been talking about them more in the past 18 months. I feel like that should be like 3 million. I don't know that, that sounds like a good deal.

This is an opinion on labor economics.

The Chargers need a playoff win for this season to be a success

We need a playoff win. You need a playoff win. We need one bad but last year we had like the easiest schedule in the league and this year it's pretty difficult.

The Chargers' postseason performance is pending.

UFC would be a better sport if there were more KOs and no gloves

There should be more KOs. No gloves. Too much defense. There's too much defense. I want more. They should be standing up and just throwing fist. Be a much better sport.

This is a purely subjective aesthetic preference for the sport.

Coldplay staged the viral Kiss Cam moment for publicity

I feel like Coldplay might have set this whole thing up because we're talking about Coldplay online. Coldplay's getting talked about more than they've ever been talked about so much.

Unless confirmed by the band, this remains a theory.

The Indiana Pacers were a physical and sneaky aggressive defensive team in the 2025 playoffs

I knew what it was going to be like Indiana, we knew how fast they were going to play and they were sneaky, aggressive defensively through the playoffs and nobody was really talking about it. But they were really physical.

Reflects the actual style of play in the series referenced.

Texas fans and Cowboys fans are the same: delusional losers

Texas fans and Cowboys fans are very similar. Delusional. They're the same people. Bunch of losers.

This is a subjective insult typical of the Red River Rivalry.

The Home Run Derby's current timing format is too exhausting for players

I don't think people appreciate how exhausting it is for the players to take that many swings that fast. So it's something we will talk about with ESPN regarding changing the format.

The league did indeed adjust the Derby rules for the following year to include pitch limits.

Fixing blackouts is at the top of Major League Baseball's priority list

Blackouts number one are at the top of my list in terms of things we need to deal with. Ideally where you would like to be is if you have a digital home for baseball, you can go there and buy what you want to buy.

MLB has been centralizing broadcast rights but blackouts persist into 2025.

The worst team in the league should always get the #1 overall pick

The team that was the worst last year should get the best player in the draft and there should be nothing that interferes with that correlation. The lottery thing, I'm not sure that it really affects behavior of teams in any meaningful way.

This is a policy stance, not a verifiable fact.
