MLB is stupid for cracking down on 'sticky stuff' in the middle of a season

My whole point is you should fix it, but don't fix it in the middle of the season only after it becomes public because you feel like a fool for letting it go on and having it be an open secret for so long. ... Just because they got exposed, they're going to swing the pendulum of justice so hard. ... It's so stupid.

The mid-season crackdown was widely criticized by players and media for creating injury risks and changing the game abruptly.

DeAndre Ayton is officially asserting himself in the same elite tier as Luka Doncic and Trae Young

DeAndre Ayton... He's a fucking beast, man. He's like DeAndre Ayton showing up to the whole Trae Young, Luka Doncic, that draft ruled discussion being like, I rule too. I'm awesome on defense and offense.

While Ayton had a great playoff run, most analysts would still place Doncic and Young significantly higher in long-term value.

Game 2 was a backbreaker for the Clippers unless Kawhi Leonard returns

The Suns won the series 4-2. Kawhi Leonard did not return.

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.

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.
