Private equity is bad for sports consumers

Private equity is bad for the consumer. You have to have a business. Why? Private equity tends to look around the margins where they can spend less money, decrease costs, increase profits. And that typically, more often than not, has resulted in the consumer paying more and it feeling like it's less about the fan.

The claim is a broad and partly subjective assessment of private-equity ownership and consumer outcomes.

The Falcons can win the NFC South with Michael Penix

I think that the Falcons can win with him. He, I think that Stefanski is a good enough coach and I think that he's accurate enough and he's a good enough passer that they could win a good amount of football games with the rushing attack that they have. And if they have a half decent defense, I think he might be—I don't know that he's gonna be the guy that you would trade up for in the draft—but I think he's going to be a good enough quarterback where they should win that division.

The 2026 season was still ongoing, so the division prediction had not resolved.

PCA is the National League MVP

But PCA going 40-40 was awesome. He's the best. He's the N-L-M-V-P.

MVP is an award judgment and inherently subjective, even though the eventual award could provide an external benchmark.

The NFL is becoming the No Fun League again

We're back to the no fun league. It's no fun league. Every player in solidarity should pretend to chug a beer in the end zone this weekend.

Whether the NFL is a No Fun League is a subjective characterization.
