I am officially retiring from giving pregame speeches

I gave them [Tony Scheffler's team] a pump up speech before state quarterfinals. And then they lost by like 40. I'm retiring from the pregame speech. We'll stop doing speeches.

Big Cat continued to give ironic pregame speeches for years (e.g., for the Arizona Bowl).

I am going to be a major Major League Baseball fan this year

I've decided to own a fantasy baseball team in a $0 a year league on ESPN with random people. I am going to be a major league baseball fan this year. Just like of the entire league. Just of the stats.

PFT notoriously drops these bits within a month as he has a short attention span for non-football sports stats.

Gabe Kapler's 'win time of possession' strategy for the Giants might actually work in baseball

The Giants manager, Gabe Kapler, he has a message that's written on his whiteboard in his office that says, 'win time of possession.' ...controlled the pace of play and keep the defense on the field as long as possible so they get bored. I actually kind of believe that.

The 2021 Giants went on to win 107 games, the most in franchise history, proving Kapler's unorthodox management styles were highly effective that year.

The Justin Fields slander is a smokescreen by teams drafting in the 5-10 range who want him to fall

I just assume whenever we see like Justin Fields slander, it's a team somewhere in like the five to ten range that's hoping that Justin Fields will fall to [them]. It's definitely smokescreen season.

Fields did fall out of the top 10 to the 11th pick, validating the idea that teams allowed him to slide despite his talent.

The Brewers have the World Series sealed

I think the Brewers have this thing sealed up after an insane Monday night where they were just awesome.

The episode says Tampa Bay extended the series to Game 5, so the prediction was not yet resolved at the time of this transcript; the eventual World Series result is not established in the provided context.

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.
