The pinnacle of pitching is winning a World Series ring

I just wanna win. I think the best thing in sports is winning. It cures everything. Individually, Triple Crown, Cy Young, obviously you wanna do that again. But it all wouldn't mean as much if I don't have a ring. If not multiple. That's why you play. At least that's why I play the game is to win World Series rings and go perform on that stage.

This is Skubal's personal professional goal.

Building a dome in Cleveland is wrong because it ruins snow football

The lake came to play tonight. The snow was, it was gorgeous. It was artistic out there. They're trying to take snow football away from you. They're trying to build a dome in Cleveland and that's not gonna look right at all. Seeing the Browns playing good weather, like indoor weather in late November, December, maybe January. That's not gonna look right to me.

The city of Cleveland and the Browns have been in negotiations regarding a potential dome in Brook Park, though plans are not finalized. The opinion is subjective.

The Steelers are just 'pretty good plus sometimes'

I'll make a deal with your, you here. I think I'm comfortable saying the Steelers are pretty good. Plus pretty good plus pretty good plus I could do pretty good. Plus I can meet you a pretty good plus about really pretty good plus kind of sometimes. Really pretty good. Plus sometimes.

The Steelers' actual quality is a matter of ongoing debate and depends on end-of-season results.

The Colts will keep it close against the Lions

I actually think the Colts are gonna be in this game. I don't think the Colts are gonna win this game, but I think they're gonna keep it close. And it might be the dumbest thing ever. But I'm, I actually, no, I haven't, I haven't been bad. I just think seven and a half Colts really need these games.

The Lions won 24-6, covering the 7.5 spread comfortably.

Winning is a band-aid that cures everything in sports, regardless of the problem

Winning cures everything. You know, winning is, it's a band-aid that, you know, it doesn't matter if it's a bullet hole, whatever, you know, it cures everything and you just kind of go play baseball.

This is a subjective athlete philosophy.

AJ Hinch is the best manager in baseball and is always thinking multiple plays ahead

I probably won't. He's got, he's, he's so smart. AJ's, I mean, he's the best manager in the game. So wherever he wants to take the game or whatever he wants to do... it feels like every move that is made during the game... it feels like it's always in our advantage... he's really good at his job.

Whether Hinch is the 'best' is subjective, though his track record and peer reputation are very high.

I am officially the best bunter in Major League Baseball history because I am one-for-one

I do say this though. I do say I'm the best bunter in major league history... I had one bunt attempt got it down. So. Anytime big situations, I always say I'm the best bunter in major league history. You ready to, can't take that away from me. I'm one-for-one.

Literally incorrect, but a funny technicality.
