A third of the NFL franchises don't actually care about winning a Super Bowl

There's probably no joke like a third of the NFL just doesn't want to do it. They just want to be in the NFL and it's like 75 percent of baseball that really doesn't care about that either... hire smart people, step away and run it like a professional franchise.

Hot Take Football Hot Subjective

While subjective, this aligns with long-standing criticisms of specific franchises like the Bengals (who didn't have an indoor facility) and the Lions/Browns histories.

You only learn a commissioner's name if they have fucked up

If you learn a commissioner's name it's because they fucked up at some point. It's like learning the name of an offensive lineman or a referee in football.

Opinion Media Medium Subjective

This is an opinion about public perception, though Manfred's name recognition certainly spiked due to his handling of the Astros scandal.

Alex Bregman's comment about getting beaned will bite him during the 2020 season

Alex Bregman said his favorite unwritten rule is the rules that get you beaned with fastballs when you deserve it. So that sucks for Alex Bregman that he had that quote. That's a tough quote hate to see it to now have an entire career facing an entire season.

Prediction Baseball Medium

Alex Bregman was hit by 8 pitches in the shortened 2020 season, which was a high rate but not necessarily a career-high (he was hit 9 times in 155 games in 2019). However, he and the Astros faced significant hostility.

Buy all your Dayton stock because they have been unbelievable this season

College basketball obviously has been awesome. Dayton, by the way, buy all your Dayton stock because they have been unbelievable. They have like a weird fanbase... but here's me saying something nice about Dayton. Buy all your stock.

Opinion CBB Medium

Dayton finished the season 29-2 and was a projected #1 seed before the postseason was cancelled.
