A Gonzaga-Baylor championship game won't appeal to casual sports fans as much as Blue Bloods

If we can get Gonzaga-Baylor, it would be great for intercollege basketball fans, but the casual sports fan, maybe not. They won't set aside the time if it was Duke versus Kentucky in the championship.

The 2021 National Championship game (Baylor vs. Gonzaga) had roughly 16.9 million viewers, which was a record low at the time, supporting the idea that casual viewers didn't flock to it like they do for traditional blue bloods.

I am going to be a major Major League Baseball fan this year

I've decided to own a fantasy baseball team in a $0 a year league on ESPN with random people. I am going to be a major league baseball fan this year. Just like of the entire league. Just of the stats.

PFT notoriously drops these bits within a month as he has a short attention span for non-football sports stats.

Kyle Pitts should be the number one overall pick in the NFL Draft

I think Kyle Pitts should get drafted, number one. He runs like a deer. He is a chess piece mismatch. And then he keeps opposing defensive coordinators up at night. Those are the three things that he does.

Kyle Pitts was drafted 4th overall by the Falcons; Trevor Lawrence went #1.

The tight end is the new quarterback in the NFL

I think if you look at teams that won Super Bowls recently, you can go through the list. They all have dominant tight ends. Is the tight end the new quarterback? They're game changers because tight ends are the best.

While tight ends are valuable, the QB still dominates MVP and salary metrics. However, recent champions (Chiefs, Bucs) did indeed rely heavily on elite TEs.

I will be calling college football this fall

If I make myself publicly fully available right now, best case scenario, I'm in the booth calling college football this fall. Is that gonna happen? Is that reality? I don't know. But the odds are going to increase by making this jump right now.

Jake did secure several broadcasting assignments after leaving the show, including college sports.

The French Open court conditions were to blame for Novak Djokovic's meniscus injury

He blamed the court surface because of the rain. He asked them to wipe it multiple times and they did not approve... could this injury have been prevented? Possibly if there was just a little bit more frequent care of the court.

Djokovic himself cited the surface as the cause for his tear, though medical proof that wiping the court would have prevented it is impossible.

Dots Pretzels are the most addictive snack in existence

I've never been addicted to a snack more than this. And it's dangerous. It is crazy.
