Shortening the MLB season and adding doubleheaders would make the sport better

Anthony Rizzo has said that he thinks we should play less baseball games, which I'm all for... Why don't we just start it later and do doubleheaders? Doubleheaders are such a fun, weird thing in baseball that they don't do enough... I think less baseball would make baseball, I think it'd be an addition by subtraction.

MLB has not significantly shortened its 162-game schedule, though they have experimented with 7-inning doubleheaders in recent years.

Brad Stevens is the best coach in the NBA

Brad Stevens is the best coach in the NBA. He is a wagon. I expect anything from a Brad Stevens coached team. They just play so much smarter than everyone else.

Subjective opinion on coaching quality, though Stevens never won a title before moving to the front office.

Giannis Antetokounmpo might be a 'coach killer'

Is Giannis [Antetokounmpo] the coach killer? Did he make Jason Kidd bad? Is he making [Joe] Prunty... look like an asshole?

Giannis eventually won a title with Mike Budenholzer and has generally been considered a coach-friendly superstar, though coaches have been fired around him.

The Vegas Golden Knights and Nashville Predators are the two best teams in the Western Conference

They look good enough in their previous games that we can say the Knights and the Predators are probably the two best teams in the West.

The Golden Knights made it to the Stanley Cup Finals from the West. The Predators lost in the second round, but they were the top two seeds in the West entering the playoffs.

Pigeons are the smartest birds because they live off human trash

Pigeons might be the smartest bird. There is one... they've essentially just over the years been like, Hey, you know where we should live? Right where the people leave their trash. We don't have to hunt for anything. We don't have to go fucking diving for worms and fish... Some guy's going to eat a calzone and not finish it and we're gonna finish it. So pigeons might be the smartest bird.

While funny, avian intelligence is usually measured by tool use (crows) or problem-solving, though urban adaptation is a form of intelligence.

Barry Bonds could still play in the MLB and take a million walks because of fear

I think of that with Barry Bonds for sure. Barry Bonds I like He could just, he, he could show up and just be awesome and, and take like a million walks. 'cause people would fear him.

This is a hypothetical claim about a retired player's current ability, which is fundamentally subjective.

American air conditioning is the equivalent of 'Hunter Biden crack' for European visitors

I would imagine air conditioning for Europeans hits like crack. Like the best crack of all. Oh, hunter Biden crack. Yeah. That's like when we go over to, to Spain and we see a nude beach. Like that's, that, that feeling that we get over there is their feeling when they're walking into one of our buildings over here.

Inherently subjective and hyperbolic comparison.
