Mets GM Brodie Van Wagenen intentionally leaked that Yoenis Cespedes was missing to spite him

He knew that Cespedes packed up his shit and left because he was opting out but he used to be Cespedes's Agent and so he's pissed that Yoenis ended up signing with Roc Nation. And so now he's like feeding all this shit into the media... first thought if somebody just ditches the Mets you don't immediately suspect that they're dead.

While never explicitly proven as a malicious leak, the timeline of Van Wagenen's statement vs. Cespedes' representative notifying the team was highly contested and widely viewed as a PR disaster.

The Cubs should be awarded the World Series title if they are the only team to remain COVID-free

I feel like every single team has had positives actually except for the Cubs. Shout out the Cubs. They should probably win it if the Cubs are the only team that don't get a Corona positive, do they win the title? Yes, right?

The Cubs were the only MLB team not to have a player test positive during the 2020 regular season, but they were not awarded the title; the Dodgers won it.

Rob Manfred has been a total debacle in handling MLB's return

Rob Manfred being like I'm gonna threaten you guys if you don't start following the rules, we're going to cancel the league... he just has to be Rob Manfred has to go to bed every single night... he pulls out his Roger Goodell voodoo doll and starts poking it with pins being like, please fuck this up Goodell, please fuck this up because if you fuck this up, no one will give a shit.

This is a subjective opinion on leadership performance.

NFL players will lie about having COVID just to keep playing

The one thing that I think the NFL still has going for it is that pretty much every single player is just going to lie when they have coronavirus. I think there will be a whole team that's sick and we just won't know about it.

While it's hard to prove individual lies, there were several instances of NFL teams being fined for protocol violations and hiding contacts.

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.

Victor Wembanyama is the best watch in the NBA right now

[Wembanyama] is the best watch in the NBA right now. It's not even close... just his entire performance leaving it like, he was so gassed that three that looked like we were talking about it, it looked like it was almost like there was a whistle beforehand because it was like in slow motion. It was just incredible.

This is a subjective opinion about entertainment value.
