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.

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.

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 Vikings officially have a Kyler Murray problem

I think we can officially say they have a Kyler Murray problem. Justin Jefferson has reached his point where he's like, 'What the fuck is going on?' So that would be my point. Maybe there's a Kyler Murray issue.

Whether Minnesota had a significant Kyler Murray problem is an evaluative football judgment rather than a definitively resolvable fact.

The Vikings should trade for Kirk Cousins

What if I told you the Vikings could trade for a quarterback that has 18 touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown? Would that be something you think you'd be interested in if you were a Minnesota Viking fan? Kirk Cousins.

Whether Kirk Cousins was traded to Minnesota during the 2026 season is not established by the transcript or reliably known here.

Jalen Warren is a top-five running back

Jalen Warren is the top five running back this year. And it's like watching him play, that changes what I think about the Steelers.

Top-five running back status is ultimately a subjective ranking that cannot be definitively resolved.
