MLB fucked up the playoffs with the wild card expansion because bad teams stay alive too long

The Major League Baseball completely fucked up the playoffs with this wild card. It's so stupid because now everyone's alive... I don't like that they did this in the NBA either. It's my biggest gripe about the play-in that you let owners get off on basically saying, 'well, we're putting together a playoff team' when no, if you're a play-in team, you're not... it's just bullshit.

The impact of playoff expansion on 'quality' is a subjective matter of sports philosophy.

Jalen Brown is a top 5 player in the NBA

[Jalen Brown] is in that top five now. He's the best player on the team.

While Brown won Finals MVP and All-NBA Second Team honors in 2023, ranking him in the top 5 (above Jokic, Giannis, Luka, SGA, etc.) is highly debatable and subjective.

Brad Stevens is the greatest GM of all time

Brad Stevens is, you know, the greatest GM of all time. I think he's gotta be. He's in all-time in this conversation.

Brad Stevens has one title as a GM. While his moves for Holiday and White were brilliant, 'greatest of all time' is a huge historical reach.

The Celtics are set up for a dynasty

I mean the team is set up for a great, great run, which is the most exciting part. We win a championship now and we're set up, we're set up for the future. Maybe a real [dynasty].

The Celtics have a young core locked in, but the second apron and NBA parity make dynasties extremely difficult. This remains to be seen.

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.
