I am going to keep betting on the Raiders as long as Rich Bisaccia is the head coach

I'm going to stay betting on the Raiders until proven otherwise. I loved what [Rich Bisaccia] showed me last week. The guys came out, they played hard. So yeah, I'm not going to jump off that yet.

The Raiders went 7-5 under Bisaccia and made the playoffs, proving PFT's confidence in the interim bounce correct.

If Ben Simmons is faking mental health issues to avoid playing, he is setting mental health awareness back significantly

I applaud Ben Simmons for being so brave. Yes, exactly. I would like to agree. Yeah. I would say it's okay to not be okay... If he is faking it, he's actually setting mental health way back way.

The take is a conditional moral judgment, so it is inherently subjective.

Ben Simmons is the reason the Philadelphia 76ers have been held back

I keep saying it and I feel like there's some people who still don't understand it. Like Ben Simmons is the reason why the Sixers have been held back. It's not that he, like if Joel Embiid was holding out, it'd be a completely different scenario here because Joel Embiid is their best player by far in away.

The Sixers traded Simmons for James Harden and eventually moved on, but failed to make a conference finals even after his departure, suggesting systemic issues beyond just Simmons.

Daryl Morey is making the right move by being willing to wait four years to trade Ben Simmons

Daryl Morey, I think he is probably read 'Art of the Deal' because he said they are willing to have this last four years... he just anchored the negotiation. He said, we're not going to trade him unless we get a true piece back. And if this has to go on for four years, it will go on for four years. Here's to four years. I hope it does, because that would be hilarious. But Daryl Morey. Good, good countermove to Ben Simmons saying he's dealing with mental health.

Morey successfully 'anchored' the negotiation and waited until the trade deadline to get James Harden, proving the patience strategy correct in spirit even if it didn't take four years.
