I am in on the proposed 14-team MLB playoff format

I personally, it's crazy. It's stupid. And I know baseball purists will hate it. But from a fundamental level of making September more enjoyable, making a lot of markets still feel like they have a shot, having just more playoff baseball... and eliminating the one game playoff that always kind of feels like it screws someone over. I'm kind of in on this.

The MLB eventually expanded the playoffs to 12 teams (6 per league) in 2022, a variation of the 14-team proposal discussed here.

I am officially all in on participation trophies

As soon as I became a dad, my son got a gold medal for just showing up to gym... I was like, fuck yeah, you got that, dude. You fucking showed up. So I'm all in on participation trophies. That flipped in my brain.

Subjective opinion on a cultural parenting debate.

Philip Rivers' skills are vastly diminishing

[Philip Rivers and the Chargers] both decided that Philip Rivers' skills are vastly diminishing and we needed to move on.

Rivers had a down year in 2019 with 20 interceptions and only 23 touchdowns, and while he had one solid final season with the Colts, the assessment of his decline at that stage was largely accurate.

I am not worried about Tom Brady leaving the Patriots

I'm absolutely not worried. I'm not even letting myself get worried for a second... I still think he's going to end up a Patriot. I'm not letting myself even consider that a possibility.

Tom Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on March 20, 2020, ending his tenure with the Patriots.

The 2026 Thanksgiving Day schedule is the best single day of football ever

Wednesday night is the Packers versus the Rams. Then Thursday, Thanksgiving day is Bears, lions, Eagles, Cowboys, chiefs bills. That will be great. Like the day of Thanksgiving? Yeah. That's the best day of football I think maybe ever.

Whether it's the 'best day ever' is a matter of personal opinion and game quality.

Pittsburgh fleeced Boston in the gorilla trade

I think Boston got fleeced. Frankie got traded, 7-year-old. Frankie got traded to the Boston Zoo. He's going to just be chilling with a bunch of other dudes. Little Joe got traded to Pittsburgh because he's going to be mating and making new gorilla. Pittsburgh's the one that's gonna be making more gorillas. You guys are do everything all wrong. They're, they're making a gorilla factory in Pittsburgh.

Evaluating zoo conservation efforts through the lens of a sports trade is inherently comedic and subjective.
