David Ross will be a successful manager because he won't let superstars get bigger than the team

David [Ross] has always been that leader on the team anyway... what they did was was you know, they didn't let a superstar get outside of the team. So I think when you understand what he was as a player who he was him stepping into the manager role, it's not I don't think it's really going to be much different for him.

Ross managed the Cubs from 2020-2023, leading them to one playoff appearance in the shortened 2020 season but ultimately being replaced by Craig Counsell after failing to make the playoffs in three full seasons.

Mason Rudolph is a terrible quarterback and not the guy in Pittsburgh

I wanted to start the show by saying Mason Rudolph has a huge fucking face and is a terrible quarterback and is not the guy in Pittsburgh. And he's the classic quarterback where every time he drops back if you're a Steelers fan or you bet on the Steelers, you're like, oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck only bad things can happen.

Mason Rudolph was eventually benched for Duck Hodges later in the season and has remained a backup for most of his career.

Mike Pouncey shouldn't be suspended for fighting Myles Garrett because he was protecting Mason Rudolph

Pouncey shouldn't be suspended by the way because I feel like he should just be like hey that was ride or die and also you shouldn't be suspended because if we're looking out for [Mason Rudolph's] head and concussions, we can't let that offensive line get worse.

Pouncey was suspended 3 games for his involvement in the brawl, which was later reduced to 2 games on appeal.

As a pitcher, I would have definitely struck myself out as a hitter

Could you strike out you at your best as a hitter without even with blindfolded probably? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, definitely strike me out. Throw the Hammer High fastball.

This is a hypothetical self-assessment from a professional two-way athlete.
