The Mets will be World Series Champions in 2026

The team is not going to be pursuing free agents this off season or assembled team that can compete for World Series next year... 24 is looking to be more of a kind of transitory year... Definitely Mets all in '26. Remember this Uncle Stevie on this, on this podcast with the first report, Mets World Series Champions 2026.

The Mets have not yet won the 2026 World Series as the date has not arrived.

The Mets will not contend for a decade

I also have a report from someone inside the Mets organization who contacted me and said... I'll never see a Mets playoff game won't contend for, for a decade.

This is a hyperbolic claim about a decade-long drought, but the Mets missed the playoffs in 2023 and 2024.

The US Women's National Team are 'entitled babies'

No, you shouldn't be celebrating like that after you tie Portugal. Zero. Zero. You only won one game against Vietnam... So act listen, you haven't won shit yet. They're entitled, they're entitled babies.

The USWNT was eventually knocked out in the Round of 16, their worst ever World Cup finish, lending some creedence to the critique of their play.

C.J. Stroud will have a better rookie year than Bryce Young

There were a lot of people out there who are in Bryce's that were coming at me and saying like, Bryce is not worse than [Stroud]. I think Stroud's gonna have a better rookie year. That's all I'm saying.

C.J. Stroud won Offensive Rookie of the Year and led his team to the playoffs, while Bryce Young struggled immensely and the Panthers had the worst record in the NFL.

Marijuana needs to be exactly half as strong as it is right now

The nerfing of the weed is going around right now... Which I actually think is wonderful. Yeah. I think it's, that's what weed needs to be. It needs to be exactly half as strong as it is right now. So you can still smoke it and do stuff.

Northwestern football should be given the death penalty

As a fan of Northwestern, I think they should be given the death penalty. True. I think that as Northwestern goes, we're more than a football team. We're, we're an institution that develops and builds young minds and teaches them to be ethical... death penalty to Northwestern.

Hot TakeCFBFireSarcastic
The program was not given the death penalty and continued to play.

College football is headed for a Big Two conference structure

Geographics do not matter in college football anymore. We're headed for the big, big two. Maybe big three... I don't know why we don't just do, we should just do NFL model and just have divisions... The big, the big 10 and the s e c of the conferences.

With the collapse of the PAC-12 and the Big 10/SEC expanding to 16+ teams, the 'Power 2' era has essentially arrived.

Davante Adams will be traded to the Jets at the deadline

Aaron Rogers took a $35 million pay cut. Right. Davante Adams... I'm very happy with the contract. I feel great about it on his contract. So hypothetically at the trade deadline, something were to happen. Like we have super teams now.

Davante Adams was not traded to the Jets during the 2023 season. He remained a Raider until 2024.

Losing sometimes helps more than winning does

The thing is, sometimes like a loss actually helps you. Yeah. Like, it, it refocus you. It's like, all right, we should not have, like what did we do during that week that caused us to lose that game? Like, why did we play off? Why, what caused things to go awry? Like, so sometimes those losses help more than wins do.

This is a subjective philosophy about sports psychology.
