Free Bob Baffert

Either way, free Bob Baffert. There's a lot of things wrong with horse racing. Bob Baffert isn't one of them.

The Wizards are the least consequential team in all of sports

I would make the argument that the Wizards are probably the least consequential team to ever pay attention to in all of sports.

This is a subjective assessment of a franchise's cultural footprint.

The NBA play-in tournament is stupid because a 7th seed can miss the playoffs

I still think it's stupid that you could finish with the seventh seed and not make the playoffs. That part is very dumb to me.

Subjective opinion on league rules.

Justin Fields will start Week 1 for the Bears

I think that there's a good chance Justin Fields starts week one. I do too. I hope so.

Andy Dalton started Week 1 against the Rams. Fields did not start until Week 3.

Ben Affleck was 'tampering' with J-Lo while she was engaged to A-Rod

Ben Affleck was tampering. Ben Affleck, it was reported, was texting J-Lo in February when J-Lo and A-Rod were still engaged. That is illegal. That is tampering.

Reports at the time suggested Affleck and Lopez started emailing in February 2021 before her official split from A-Rod in April.

Tim Tebow signing with the Jaguars is a 'big joke' and he can't play tight end

This is an interesting signing, and it's a stupid signing. And I will absolutely say that this is a big joke because he can't play. He couldn't play quarterback. He was a terrible quarterback. He hasn't played since 2012. He's going to be 34 years old, and he has no suddenness to his game. He can't play tight end.

Tebow was released by the Jaguars on August 17, 2021, after one preseason game.

Tim Tebow has a 0% chance of making the Jaguars roster

Zero [percent chance]. Zero. I'd go even lower if I could go.

Tebow was cut during training camp and never made the final 53-man roster.

Aaron Rodgers will be on the Packers Week 1

He will be. They're dug in, and they should be dug in. Why would you trade him?

Rodgers reported to camp and played the entire 2021 season for Green Bay.

Quarterbacks should not have input on personnel decisions or hiring

Quarterbacks should not be making decisions as it relates to personnel and who should be hired. I said that all along with Deshaun Watson.

Subjective philosophy on team management.

Justin Fields was the second-best quarterback in the 2021 draft class

Lawrence is the clear one. Justin Fields, in my mind, is the two... He's accurate. He's smart. He's tough. He's athletic. He's big. He will be a darn good quarterback.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's draft prospect status compared to peers.

SlamBall will definitely be back on television in the U.S. within five years

Oh, 100%. 100% [chance SlamBall is back on US TV in five years].

SlamBall returned to U.S. television on ESPN in the summer of 2023.

The NBA should make dunks worth three points to fix the league's geometry

I actually think the NBA is going to have to adopt that dunks being worth three in order to change the geometry of what's happening in the NBA right now. First and foremost is you have to stop people from attacking the rim, right?

The NBA has not adopted a 3-point dunk rule.
