Mike Francesa is making his content less accessible to the few people still listening

My friend says it was like hey, you know, what's a good idea to make sure that my content is even less accessible to the people? ... It's the MLB model. Yes. If he was smart, he would just start his own Twitter account for his own show. But I guess he's sunk a lot of production costs into doing the mics on app.

Francesa eventually left WFAN again and his app-centric model didn't significantly revitalize his reach compared to his peak terrestrial radio years.

Robert Kraft's mask donation should be treated as a good deed regardless of his politics

I just feel like we're at the point in time where it's like any good deed that can help the greater cause here, let's just let it be a good deed. What's especially egregious considering that he could go right down the street to Chris Sale and be like, 'Hey Chris, can you cut up some more MLB jerseys to Masks?'

This is a subjective moral/ethical opinion on public discourse.

Sports won't have fans in attendance for at least a year

I'm convinced we're not gonna have fans for a year. So the no fans ship has really sailed. Just give me a camera with a ball on the screen moving back and forth.

Major sports operated with zero or very limited capacity fans for approximately a full year (until Spring 2021).

2021 will feature both college football and college basketball played in the spring

I actually saw an idea... that looking more and more like the springtime in college sports is going to be both football and basketball next year. That would be crazy.

The Power 5 conferences played in the fall of 2020, though some delayed starts occurred. Only lower divisions (FCS) significantly moved to spring.

LeBron James will be super annoying and try to make the Michael Jordan documentary about himself

I already know the LeBron's gonna be super annoying during the MJ Dock and try to make it all about LeBron and I don't even think LeBron's in the MJ doc, which is sneaky awesome.

LeBron did live-tweet and post IG stories during 'The Last Dance', often drawing comparisons or inserting himself into the G.O.A.T. conversation discourse.

Bats are the worst animal because they take away things like March Madness

I'm gonna win the strap with first pick because it's the number one most Wanted animal in the world right now his ruined the entire world. It's bats. Bats fucking suck. Fuck bats. ... Secondary take away March Madness. Don't do ecosystems... I will never forget that we didn't get March Madness in 2020.

While the origin of COVID-19 is linked to bats, his 'worst animal' ranking is a subjective humorous take.

I could take a boa constrictor in a wrestling match

I think I could take a boa constrictor. I don't think a boa constrictor could take down like a fucking well... I just punch it in its brain over and over. I would you kick a boa constrictor up doesn't have to take down a boa constrictor our python an anaconda might get you.

A large boa constrictor or python is biologically capable of killing a human, making this a very risky claim.

Billy Mitchell's wife is the reason he is the 'King of the Nerds'

I actually kind of think his wife has big tits and I think that that is the greatest equalizer in like nerd world where they're like, 'Whoa, Billy look at the fucking the tits on your wife' and then he just becomes the King of the Nerds.

This is a crude, subjective observation about the social dynamics shown in the 'King of Kong' documentary.

Billy Mitchell is an assistant who talks in the third person to reporters

Shawn Jones is definitely Billy, right? Talking the third person. That's absolutely it's an assistant that Billy made up like Trump made up John Baron back in the 80s to like talk to reporters and shit.

While never confirmed for this specific name, Billy Mitchell has a long history of utilizing a tight circle of supporters to manage his image and score validation, making the pseudonym theory plausible.
