Roger Goodell is actually awesome at his job despite everyone hating him

For everything that he has hated for and he's hated for a lot... he does an incredible job. It's like he was designed in a lab just to absorb blows and make a shitload of money for the NFL. And he's done both, like basically the best you could possibly do.

Goodell's metrics (revenue growth, labor peace) are factually strong from the owners' perspective, which is his primary audience.

The St. Louis Cardinals lost America the World Baseball Classic

The St. Louis Cardinals have lost America. I mean, Paul Goldschmidt just hitting into a double play when we had a little rally going... if we're doing the blame, I think I'd start with those guys. Get some hits in some big moments and maybe we can be sitting here bragging about the US being the best in baseball.

Goldschmidt and Arenado were 1-for-7 combined in the final, supporting the claim they didn't show up in the big moment.

The Los Angeles Angels were the biggest losers of the World Baseball Classic

I felt really the big loser of tonight was the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim because... that last at-bat... Shohei Ohtani striking out Mike Trout... these two guys right now, two of the best baseball players to ever play the sport.

The Angels missed the playoffs again in 2023, and Ohtani left for the Dodgers shortly after.

UCLA will beat Gonzaga in the Sweet 16

I'm going with the Bruins because they're defensively, I think they're in line even without [Jaylen] Clark. And to me, as good as Gonzaga is, I don't trust their back court. And I do trust Tiger Campbell.

Gonzaga defeated UCLA 79-76.

The Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade

I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.

The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.

The Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips

The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.

The success of the Panthers' defense with Phillips will determine if the overpay was justified.

A podcast interview is the greatest aphrodisiac

Everyone says that a podcast interview is the greatest aphrodisiac. I think he [Ohio State President] went on her podcast and then the flames were just too hot.

Satirical claim about the power of podcasting.
