Bryce Harper is right that players are willing to lose a whole season over a salary cap.

He's right-ish... [Manfred] is pitching the salary cap right to the players circumventing the MLBPA. And it's their job to hear from the owners and then take that to the rank and file players. And then Harper's like, 'If you're gonna say that, get the fuck out.' Bryce Harper is right. Bryce is right about this... He can afford to lose 162 games. The guys at the top can afford to lose 162 games.

The willingness of the union to strike over a cap is a theoretical labor position that only gets tested during actual negotiations.

I'm optimistic the Commanders will get a deal done with Terry McLaurin

I got a chance to talk to Adam Peters today for a little bit... I'm optimistic things get done. I did my best. I tried to negotiate with Adam... mainly devolved into me telling him how good Jayden was.

McLaurin eventually reached a resolution with the team.

The AJ Brown deal is one of the worst trades ever for the Titans

Treylon Burks got waived, which officially makes the AJ Brown deal one of the worst trades ever. Titans traded AJ Brown to the Eagles. Eagles [made] a Super Bowl with AJ Brown. He also signed a four year extension... I don't think any of [the picks] are on their team anymore.

Evaluating the 'worst trade' is subjective, but the failure of Treylon Burks and AJ Brown's success with the Eagles strongly supports the claim.

Ashton Jeanty's highlights look awesome

I did see an Ashton Jeanty highlight and he looked awesome.

This is a subjective opinion on a player's highlight tape.

Duke is the best team in the country and it would be an all-time failure if they don't win the title

This is the best team in the country. It would be an all time epic failure if Duke doesn't win the national title. They are the first time I believe that a team has reached plus 40 in Ken Palm since 1999. Duke... This team has it all.

The 2026 NCAA tournament has not occurred yet as of the episode date.

Duke not winning the national title would be the most consequential sports story of all time

I think it would be the biggest sports story of all time. If Duke did not win the national title this year. All time. I think all time story... Duke not winning at all this year would be the biggest, the most consequential sports story of all time. Not our lifetimes of all time.

The outcome is pending, but the scale of the claim is subjective and satirical.
