MLB will realize people don't miss baseball as much as they think if the lockout continues

If baseball doesn't start the season and play a full season, they're going to learn very quickly that they miscalculated the world's need for baseball. I wouldn't notice fully until like late June and be like, where the fuck is my baseball?

While the lockout ended shortly after this and a full 162-game season was played, MLB continues to struggle with viewership and growth compared to the NFL and NBA, supporting the 'lack of urgency' sentiment.

The week of July 4th is the best time of the year

Off the top of my head, I love the week of July 4th. Love this barbecues, Sunday drinking, sweating NBA. Well, it used to be the NBA free agency, right? I love that big fan of the first two weeks of March Madness.

This is a subjective personal preference.

The only time you can't say 'I love this time of year' is the two weeks after the Super Bowl

I think the only time you can't say I love this time of year is right after the Super Bowl until right now, that's it. That's the only time you can be like, [this sucks].

Subjective assessment of the sports calendar.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
