Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia is the most hostile sporting environment in the world

Those games in the playoffs [in Philly] were the most hostile sporting event that I've ever been a part of hands down for sure. But I, I don't know. It also makes it fun for us. You know? It's like that's, you feed off it... whether they're screaming for you against you at least it's like it brings energy. It's fun.

This is a subjective evaluation based on his personal experience as a major league pitcher.

NBA free agency is officially a dud this year

NBA free agency has started and it's a dud. I'm gonna say it right now. It's a dud.

Free agency results are subjective, but the lack of major stars moving makes this a widely held view.

The NBA should rename the 'Second Apron' to 'Prison' to make it easier to understand

They gotta get rid of the apron word. I'm so sick of it. If they just called it jail and prison, I think it would make a lot more sense because that's really what it is. The second apron is prison. They basically, for people who don't understand what they've done with the salary cap... they restrict you. They put you in prison.

This is a branding suggestion and therefore subjective.

The NBA should have a random one-hour window where the salary cap is turned off completely

It's essentially video game rules. And Adam Silver just says for the next hour salary caps off. You turn off salary caps, you could do any trade ever. And you have to get your players signed in that window... And then he is like, boom, salary cap's back on.

This is a hypothetical policy change.

The Cincinnati Reds have an illegally flat pitching mound to gain an advantage

Cincinnati's tough. That mound is so flat. I know they're supposed to have regulations on how high the mound is, but whatever they're doing, they're cheating for sure. Because it's way lower. Our mound at home feels like a mountain compared to Cincinnati.

MLB mounds are strictly regulated at 10 inches, though perceptions of slopes can vary.
