Challenges and replay in sports are bad because they prevent fans from complaining about being screwed

I'm firmly in the stance that everyone who wants more replay and more challenges, what you're going to do is you're going to get a world where we can't complain about anything. And watching sports is half of it is winning. And the other half is saying why your team didn't lose. They got screwed.

Replay has arguably increased frustration and delay without eliminating all complaints, supporting Big Cat's premise.

Vlad Guerrero Jr. should be in every single Home Run Derby for the rest of time

I want Vlad Guerrero in every single home run derby for the rest of time. He is electric... if you watch Vlad Guerrero take any of his practice swings like a week ago, you knew that he was going to be a show. You knew he was going to be awesome to watch.

Vlad Jr. has been a frequent participant and highlight of the derby since 2019, confirming he is a 'show'.

Pete Alonso winning the 2019 Home Run Derby will be a Slumdog Millionaire trivia question because Vlad Jr. dominated the aggregate

In about five years, you're going to be asked who won this home run derby. Just remember, it was Pete Alonso. I'm giving you money right now... [Vlad Jr.] didn't win the derby itself because of the way that they reset when you go into the final round.

Pete Alonso did literally win the title, while Vlad Jr. holds the memory of the performance, making the trivia point valid.

Hitting a home run is the ultimate way to beat the shift

You learn the rules of baseball because isn't hitting a home run beating the shift every single time? You just actually blew my mind. You beat the shift when you hit a home run over everyone.

A home run clears all defenders regardless of where they are positioned on the field.

Malik Nabers is a true No. 1 receiver

Malik Nabers is a bonafide, bonafide number one in the league, I think. I think Malik Nabers is a true number one.

Receiver ranking is inherently evaluative and cannot be definitively resolved.

The Giants are a fun, good team

Even when they're good, they're not fun. This is a fun team. The Giants are fun. Good. Yeah. And I do think that they are a good team.

This is an evaluative opinion rather than a definitively verifiable claim.

The Falcons can win the NFC South

Why can't they win the NFC South? Especially what we saw from the Panthers today.

The NFC South winner will determine whether this prediction comes true.
