The big Wall Street guys will eventually win the GameStop war because they always win in the end

I'm cynical about all this, so I assume that eventually the hedge fund guys will have so much money that they can wait everyone out and fuck everyone over. I feel like they always win, no matter what. Even if it's a win-the-battle-lose-the-war type of situation... the little guy's winning right now, but the big guy always wins.

While several hedge funds (like Melvin Capital) suffered massive losses and eventually shut down, the broader financial system remained largely unchanged, making this take partially correct.

Barry Bonds is the greatest baseball player of all time

Tom Verducci filling out a baseball Hall of Fame ballot and leaving the greatest baseball player of all time, Barry Bonds, off of it.

Whether Bonds is the greatest is subjective, though his stats (PED-fueled or not) are arguably the most dominant in history.

Baseball Hall of Fame voting should be left to the fans

Leave it up to the fans. Let the fans vote. You buried it. Maybe because you've convinced yourself over the years that you're so important that everybody should look up to you because you get to check a piece of paper.

The voting structure is a matter of institutional policy, so this is a subjective opinion.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.
