A mayor is not a first responder, they are a 'fourth responder'

My understanding of what a first responder is, is when you see a disaster or trouble... those guys are going in. [Bloomberg] is not a first responder. He's the fourth responder.

This is an opinion on terminology, but technically mayors are government officials, not emergency services personnel.

Marlins Man belongs in the Hall of Fame asterisk wing

Do you think Marlins Man has a chance of making the Hall of Fame? I think that he's got to be in the conversation. Put him in the asterisk wing.

He is not in the Hall of Fame.

Trading Sam Bradford for a first and fourth-round pick was a great deal for the Eagles

The Eagles, great trade for them. Any Eagles fan that's upset by this, I really don't know what to tell you. You just traded Sam Bradford. You weren't going to go to the playoffs, and you got a first and a fourth round.

Widely considered a massive win for the Eagles; they drafted Derek Barnett with that pick and won the Super Bowl a year later.

Sam Bradford is a 'bunk credit score loan' that keeps getting repackaged despite being bad

Sam Bradford is basically like one of these bunk credit score loans that get repackaged and repackaged and repackaged and sold for normal money... Sam Bradford has sucked, will always suck, and will continue to suck. And for some reason, he just gets more and more valuable with age.

Subjective opinion on skill, though Bradford did continue to command high salaries/trade value for several more years.

Derek Jeter will not last five years as Marlins owner

I'm being told by some other people I know in baseball... We don't think Jeter lasts the five years. We think that the owners and investors have a pressure on him.

Jeter officially stepped down as CEO and shareholder of the Marlins in February 2022, just under 5 years after taking over (Sept 2017).

Derek Jeter is unqualified to run a baseball team

What has Jeter done ever to run a team as a success? What has he done ever, period? What businesses has he ever run? ... Bernie Williams carried him when he was on the Yankees. So what makes him qualified to run this team other than he was a ball player? None. Nothing.

This is a subjective opinion from a disgruntled fan/customer.

The Marlins need to market themselves as an expansion team and lower expectations

They're like an expansion team. I told them at the town hall meeting and in my meeting, you've got to make people think it's an expansion team and lower expectations. ... Stop trying to tell everybody you're going to be a winner this year.

The 2018 Marlins finished 63-98, confirming they were indeed effectively a rebuilding 'expansion-level' talent squad, though they didn't adopt this marketing strategy.
