The MLB Home Run Derby was rigged for Albert Pujols

MLB homerun, Derby rigged. Big time. One of Albert Pujols' home runs should not have counted. He also, his pitcher had not even started his wind up when the clock hit zero and then Schwarber may or may not have had dinger taken off the board because they couldn't keep track of all the balls in the air.

While there were widely reported timing discrepancies in the Pujols/Schwarber round, a formal 'rigging' was never proven. It remains a popular sports conspiracy theory.

MLB players should wear their own team jerseys during the All-Star Game

My second take is... the jerseys. I do think it's bullshit. They should wear their own jerseys in the all star game. I don't like these... Everyone's wearing the same color. The cool part of it is like one side wears all road and one side wears all home. That's cool. You get to see all of the jerseys on the field at once.

This is a subjective preference about uniform aesthetics.

The MLB All-Star Game should still decide home-field advantage in the World Series

My second take is... now this one's gonna get hated on, but I kind of sort of wish the all star game still decided home field advantage in the world series. I like it. It was one of those rules that was objectively unfair... but it still was kind of fun.

Subjective opinion on game rules.

The Home Run Derby should return to the 10-outs format instead of using a clock

My third old man take is I wish the homerun Derby went back to 10 outs. Because they took the simplest thing in sports, which is big man, standup plate, mashed dogs. And we not... the most simple part is we get to watch dogs. Yeah. We get to watch the dingers land... Now, it's just chaos. There's three balls in the air at the same time. It's hard to keep up with.

Subjective preference for a competition format.

Fanatics and Nike failed American fans by not producing enough USA hockey jerseys after the gold medal win

My Hot Seat: Fanatics and Nike... They thought that Canada was gonna win the gold, so they just did not make enough USA jerseys. And so by the time USA won the gold, they were already sold out. It's disgusting. Drop the ball.

The inventory levels are fact-verifiable; if they were sold out immediately, the claim is correct.

Heat 2 will be a 'disgusting' (great) film starring Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio

My Cool Throne: Heat 2. Christian Bale. Leonardo DiCaprio. Disgusting film. Hell yes. I trust Jake Hamilton. He reported it. Christian Bale, Leo DiCaprio, Heat 2. I'm in. Awesome.

Casting rumors for Heat 2 are ongoing; if the film releases with these stars, it would be correct.
