College football is headed for a Big Two conference structure

Geographics do not matter in college football anymore. We're headed for the big, big two. Maybe big three... I don't know why we don't just do, we should just do NFL model and just have divisions... The big, the big 10 and the s e c of the conferences.

With the collapse of the PAC-12 and the Big 10/SEC expanding to 16+ teams, the 'Power 2' era has essentially arrived.

The Mets will be World Series Champions in 2026

The team is not going to be pursuing free agents this off season or assembled team that can compete for World Series next year... 24 is looking to be more of a kind of transitory year... Definitely Mets all in '26. Remember this Uncle Stevie on this, on this podcast with the first report, Mets World Series Champions 2026.

The Mets have not yet won the 2026 World Series as the date has not arrived.

The Mets will not contend for a decade

I also have a report from someone inside the Mets organization who contacted me and said... I'll never see a Mets playoff game won't contend for, for a decade.

This is a hyperbolic claim about a decade-long drought, but the Mets missed the playoffs in 2023 and 2024.

Steve Cohen will buy his way back into contention this offseason

Uncle Stevie... after hearing that report, I was in the party like, sell everybody. Just buy everybody the next year. Like what's the point of being a rich guy if can't just buy people... he's gonna buy some people. Let's get [Ohtani]. Even though He is not a free agent.

The Mets did not buy Ohtani (he went to the Dodgers), and they had a relatively quiet offseason following their sell-off.

The intentional-grounding penalty was the right play

I actually think he had, that's an OC problem because there was no underneath route. If he throws that deep and, like, everyone had—it just was a shit show. He couldn't throw it deep because he was basically getting chased. If he takes a sack, everyone has to come back. It probably is more than 10 seconds to get the next play. So that one, I had no problem.

Whether the decision was optimal is an inherently debatable football judgment.

The Colts needed a complete reset after Chris Ballard's firing

Chris Ballard was there for 10 years, never won an AFC South. You finally just—it's inexcusable. The Andrew Luck retirement is probably what bought Chris Ballard a lot more years. He basically could just keep on saying, 'Well, our plans were screwed up because Andrew Luck retired.'

This is an evaluative judgment about a general manager's tenure and cannot be objectively resolved.

The NBA should start on Christmas Day and play 60 games

The NBA should start on Christmas day. It should be a 60-game schedule. It'd be so much better.

This is a preference about league scheduling and cannot be objectively resolved.
