NBA scoring is down primarily because of the new 'James Harden' foul rules

I also think the scoring has a lot to do with the James Harden rules that they're not calling the same. They're actually calling the game the way it probably should be called and not if you jump into someone, it's a foul no matter what.

NBA scoring and free throw attempts were significantly down in the first month of the 2021-22 season due to these specific rule points.

The Astros should blow up the train tracks at Minute Maid Park

If you're the Houston Astros, you have to blow up that train station. You have to blow up those tracks because there have been so many iconic home runs that have found their way onto or through those train tracks in the history of your franchise in the biggest possible moments that you've had. You've got to blow that fucking thing up.

This is a subjective opinion on stadium aesthetics and 'jinxes.' The train tracks remained.

The Braves have already won free agency because Ronald Acuna Jr. will be back next year

The Braves already have won free agency. Ronald Acuna [Jr.] will be back next year. That's right. Greatest free agent signing you can have. Absolutely.

The Braves won 101 games the following season and Acuna returned as an All-Star, though they didn't win another World Series immediately.

The Red Sox would have beaten the Braves if they made the World Series

Absolutely. Absolutely. [The Red Sox would have beaten the Braves].

The Red Sox lost the ALCS to the Astros, so this hypothetical cannot be proven, but they were literally not the 2021 champions.

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.
