The MLB Wild Card format is great because it allows long shots like the Diamondbacks to make the World Series

So for everybody that's saying, I mean, Dodgers fans that are saying that the new wild card format is [bullshit], that they should go back. Well, one of the, one of the teams got to the World Series... because I love, I love long shots. If your team's not in it, it's hard to, to not root for a long shot and an underdog.

The Diamondbacks did reach the World Series as a 6-seed, proving the format enables long-shot runs.

Every game for the rest of my life is a must-win

Every game ever. For the rest of my life is a must win.

This is a personal philosophy/vow that cannot be factually proven right or wrong.

I bet $3,700 on Villanova to win the national championship at 40-1

He, you, I don't know why you keep doing this to me. You just now put $3,700 on Villanova to win the national championship and let's go Cats... That's 150 Gs.

Villanova did not win the 2024 NCAA National Championship (UConn won).

The Kansas City Chiefs are the only truly dominant team in the NFL

I don't think there's any like, truly dominant team outside of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl LVIII, validating their dominance over the field.

The 49ers are on fraud watch if they lose to the Bengals

Next week it's gonna be the 49ers and the Bengals. Ooh, I'm gonna say this is a must win for the 49ers in that if they lose it, their frauds, they're, they're on fraud watch right now... we are going to call them frauds if they get beat by the Bengals.

The 49ers did lose to the Bengals (31-17) on October 29, 2023, technically putting them on 'fraud watch' by PFT's definition.

James Franklin is a loser who cannot win the big game

James Franklin loser because he can't win the big game. Yeah... James Franklin now is one in nine verse Ohio State. Three in 16 verse top 10 teams.

Franklin's record against top-ranked opponents remained poor throughout the 2023 season, including a loss to Michigan.

Jim Harbaugh had no knowledge of the Michigan sign-stealing scandal

I'm going with the theory that Jim Harbaugh had no knowledge of it and that Michigan is going to get sanctioned and Jim Harbaugh, 'cause he had no knowledge of it, has to recuse himself from Michigan and go coach the Chicago Bears.

While Harbaugh did leave Michigan for the NFL, he went to the Chargers, not the Bears. Investigation into his knowledge is ongoing, but he was suspended by the Big Ten.

Michigan will win the National Championship this year for the pure chaos of it

I hope the best thing if you're truly a fan of chaos Yes. You want Michigan to win the national championship this year. Yes... That's what I wanna see. Yeah. And it would be, it would be so fun. People would be so angry about it.

Michigan did win the 2023 National Championship.

Matthew Stafford is throwing the ball as well as he ever has in his career

Stafford is throwing the absolute piss out of the football. It's, I mean, he's throwing it just as good as maybe he's ever thrown it.

Stafford finished the 2023 season with a Pro Bowl nod and led the Rams to the playoffs, statistically supporting Orlovsky's eye test.

Desmond Ridder is playing much better than the public perception suggests

I do think Desmond Ridder has been better than what people think. Oh, he's been better, dude... 90% of the time this kid's played pretty good football and then there's 10% that they gotta figure out can they get rid of it or whatnot.

Ridder was eventually benched for Taylor Heinicke later in the season and traded to Arizona in the offseason, suggesting the Falcons did not share Orlovsky's optimism.

It is hard to see Justin Fields remaining as the Bears quarterback in 2024

I think like, there's a lot of growth in the last month... The unique situation with Green or Chicago right now is this, it's hard to see how Justin Fields is their quarterback in 2024. And I'm a Justin Fields guy.

Correct. Fields was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in March 2024.

Dak Prescott is the most 'Mid' quarterback in the NFL

Number one, Dak Prescott for sure... I think that those guys could play as high as like a top seven, top eight, top nine quarterback. Or if, you know, my tackle's out and my number one receiver's not there, I might play as a top 12 or top 13 dude.

Prescott went on to finish 2nd in MVP voting in 2023, which contradicts the 'mid' label for that specific season, though the debate about his ceiling remains subjective.

Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins are both top 5 'Mid' quarterbacks in the league

Number one, Dak Prescott for sure. Jared Goff... Kirk Cousins for sure. Baker Mayfield. And Geno Smith. This would be my top five guys that are like, again, I think that those guys could play as high as like a top seven, top eight, top nine quarterback. Or if, you know, my tackle's out and my number one receiver's not there, I might play as a top 12 or top 13 dude.

Highly subjective ranking of QB tiers.

Colony Grill in Fairfield, CT is the best pizza in the world

Number one pizza is Colony Grill. Yes. No questions asked in Fairfield though. It's gotta be the one in Fairfield.

Pizza preference is subjective.
