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.

I would have had a perfect bracket this year if I had filled one out

Last night, I got a little high, and I did some thinking, and I think with everything I know now, I would have had a perfect bracket if I had filled out a bracket. ... I just pick the four hottest teams in basketball. Put them in the Final Four. ... I did it.

The 2018 bracket was historically difficult (UMBC over Virginia, Loyola Chicago in the Final Four), making a perfect bracket statistically nearly impossible, even retroactively.

The Washington Capitals will win the Stanley Cup this year

I am officially, without any sarcasm whatsoever... I think it is the Caps year... This is the Caps year.

The Washington Capitals won the 2018 Stanley Cup, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Los Angeles Rams are going to suck and miss the playoffs despite their talent

I think the Rams are going to suck. They have too much talent... They're a surefire lock to win the NFC West, possibly go to the Super Bowl. They're going to miss the playoffs.

The 2018 Rams went 13-3 and played in Super Bowl LIII.

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.

I convinced Japanese baseball fans to love America during the WBC

I think that they [Japanese fans] were very surprised how warm and nice Americans were to them... when they came to the United States for the very first time, they were shocked... and the next night they came here and they were more passionate for USA than many of the USA fans were against Puerto Rico.

This is a subjective assessment of fan sentiment.
