View episodeThe Raiders and Giants draft grades are an automatic F every year
You can pencil in the Raiders for an F every year. You can pencil in the Giants for an F every year. You can pencil in the Redskins usually for an A every year. And that usually works out pretty well for us.
Al Davis being dead is the only reason DK Metcalf wasn't a top-10 pick
By the way, credit to the entire NFL and the draft process for not picking DK Metcalf top 10, being like, hey, this guy's really good at running in a straight line. He's really jacked, but he can't do anything else that makes you a good receiver. And when I say credit to the NFL, I mean Al Davis is just dead.
The narrative that Josh Rosen is a bad teammate is complete bullshit
The whole Josh Rosen is a terrible teammate, terrible human being is like the biggest runaway narrative of all time. Josh Rosen is a little abrasive. He's a little arrogant. He thinks he's smart... Aaron Rodgers, kind of the same guy... I haven't seen, nobody from the Arizona Cardinals said anything bad about him, right? His teammates seem to really like him.

View profileRobot umpires should only be used for challenges, not for every pitch
I think that would be like the furthest extent that you'd want see it. I don't want it like full, I, I just, yeah. Don't think it would be good... I think in big spots if like there's an egregious miss or something like that, like I think even the umpires would probably want it to be corrected.
The shift ban will significantly benefit every left-handed hitter in MLB
Any left-handed hitter, it's gonna be good because even if you weren't a guy that was full shift, you're still losing hits because of it. Analytically teams don't care, it's just more so like just don't hit a homer or a double. You'd get blown up and a ball that would stop in the infield grass basically ended up being a hit, and then you lose the one where you hit a line drive to right field and it hits the third baseman right in the chest.
Robot umpires will have unintended consequences like calling strikes on balls in the dirt
I don't want robot umps. No. Because I think there's gonna be a lot of unintended consequences with that. Because if you just have a square that buzzes ball or strike... there are a lot of breaking balls that'll be like in the dirt that'll clip the bottom of the strike zone technically. I don't want robots.
