Small ball needs to come back to baseball

There's they need to bring back small ball. Nobody's playing small ball anymore. I sound like my grandfather... You get on first base, it's easy to steal second base. You get a seeing-eye single here and there, bring that shit back. Small ball wins. That's what it's all about. You got to zig while everybody else zags. No more bunts.

The take is subjective as it advocates for a stylistic change in how the game is played.

I believe the Lions need a horrific natural disaster to turn their franchise around like the Saints

The Lions have the same type of heartbreaking losses that the Saints of the Saints just only have like one of those losses a year... the Lions need like a horrific natural disaster and then a quarterback to come and save the city.

The Lions have not experienced a turnaround following a natural disaster, and this is fundamentally a dark joke.

I never gave up on Sam Darnold

Sam Darnold, credit Sam Darnold for that run. It was awesome. I'm happy. I never gave up on that guy. But no, I did like Sam Darnold's toughness where he got body-slammed and I think he broke his shoulder but then went into the locker room was like this might be my only chance to get a win this year. I have to play.

Big Cat has criticized Darnold frequently, making the 'never gave up' claim factually dubious but consistent with his character.

The Lakers are Anthony Davis's team, not LeBron's

All I got right now is it's Anthony Davis's team. I think we can all agree on that. I said you fail to we really need some more injuries so that we can be like the Lakers barely [won].

While AD was dominant in the 2020 playoffs, LeBron won Finals MVP, making it difficult to argue it wasn't his team.

Kevin Willard's joke about firing his staff was funny and shouldn't have been taken seriously

It was such a clear joke and people, I couldn't believe... There were people who actually thought he was being serious. I thought it was a funny joke. And then we had the people trying to cover for themselves being like, well, even if it was a joke, that's not a joke you make. Imagine if you're an assistant and you hear your boss say that.

Whether a joke is funny or appropriate is subjective.

The lack of Cinderellas in the tournament isn't due to NIL but because big teams are more efficient and physical

Todd Golden had a very good point... part of the reason why there's less upsets is teams are just getting way more efficient in scoring at the rim and becoming almost like raising their floor and becoming upset proof in the fact that you get really big dudes... and absolutely hammer the boards. And when you do that against smaller schools, you're not gonna like, how do big schools lose the small schools is like three point variance.

This is an analytical opinion on sports trends that can't be definitively proven right or wrong.

The Sweet 16 in Houston won't be a home game for the Cougars because Iowa and Nebraska fans travel too well

Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa have some pretty big fan bases that are all gonna wanna travel, especially Nebraska... I don't think it's gonna be like they're gonna take over the place, but I don't think it's gonna be 80% Houston at this game.

The attendance split of the Sweet 16 regional in Houston will determine this.
