Shortening the MLB season and adding doubleheaders would make the sport better

Anthony Rizzo has said that he thinks we should play less baseball games, which I'm all for... Why don't we just start it later and do doubleheaders? Doubleheaders are such a fun, weird thing in baseball that they don't do enough... I think less baseball would make baseball, I think it'd be an addition by subtraction.

MLB has not significantly shortened its 162-game schedule, though they have experimented with 7-inning doubleheaders in recent years.

Brad Stevens is the best coach in the NBA

Brad Stevens is the best coach in the NBA. He is a wagon. I expect anything from a Brad Stevens coached team. They just play so much smarter than everyone else.

Subjective opinion on coaching quality, though Stevens never won a title before moving to the front office.

Giannis Antetokounmpo might be a 'coach killer'

Is Giannis [Antetokounmpo] the coach killer? Did he make Jason Kidd bad? Is he making [Joe] Prunty... look like an asshole?

Giannis eventually won a title with Mike Budenholzer and has generally been considered a coach-friendly superstar, though coaches have been fired around him.

The Vegas Golden Knights and Nashville Predators are the two best teams in the Western Conference

They look good enough in their previous games that we can say the Knights and the Predators are probably the two best teams in the West.

The Golden Knights made it to the Stanley Cup Finals from the West. The Predators lost in the second round, but they were the top two seeds in the West entering the playoffs.

Duke is the best team in the country and it would be an all-time failure if they don't win the title

This is the best team in the country. It would be an all time epic failure if Duke doesn't win the national title. They are the first time I believe that a team has reached plus 40 in Ken Palm since 1999. Duke... This team has it all.

The 2026 NCAA tournament has not occurred yet as of the episode date.

Duke not winning the national title would be the most consequential sports story of all time

I think it would be the biggest sports story of all time. If Duke did not win the national title this year. All time. I think all time story... Duke not winning at all this year would be the biggest, the most consequential sports story of all time. Not our lifetimes of all time.

The outcome is pending, but the scale of the claim is subjective and satirical.
