Peter Gammons reported that Bryce Harper is actually leaning towards the Cubs. ... Might I remind you, two quick things connect the dots. Bruce's dog is named Wrigley. ... And he played baseball with Kris Bryant. ... Do the math.

Bryce Harper signed a 13-year, $330 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies in March 2019.

The Cavaliers are dead and have no chance in the 2017 NBA Finals

It is Monday, June 5th, and the Cavaliers are dead. They're dead... D-E-A-D, dead. I'm going to say it, and this is going to sound crazy. I actually feel a little bad for the Cavs. It's not fair. Like, what the Warriors are able to do is not fair.

The Warriors won the series 4-1, confirming the Cavs were indeed overmatched.

Ty Lue is playing exactly the wrong style of basketball by trying to keep pace with the Warriors

I don't understand, and this might just be an impossible thing to do because the Cavs somehow built a team that can't slow it down anymore because they want to play up-tempo offense themselves, but the fact that they're playing at a pace that just plays right into the Warriors' hands feels pretty stupid by Ty Lue.

The Cavaliers lost the series 4-1, and their inability to match the Warriors' offensive efficiency at high speed was a major factor cited by analysts.

The torch has officially been passed from LeBron James to Kevin Durant

Two, I had two, was the torch is passed. ... It's so much so that it's Kevin Durant's league that we have moved on from torch passing to Kevin Durant's legacy because he joined the Warriors.

Durant won the 2017 Finals MVP and outplayed LeBron in key moments, though LeBron remained the consensus best player in the world for several more years.

There will be no MLB lockout

They'll figure it out. There's too much at stake. They'll figure it out. It's not 1994 anymore. They'll figure it out.

The transcript is from October 2026 and the provided context does not establish whether MLB games were ultimately missed.

A 24-team College Football Playoff is starting to make sense

I'm starting to grow on it. My problem is, I'm thinking about it in just this year where we actually had parity.

This is a subjective opinion about playoff format and cannot be definitively judged.
