The Guardians' historic comeback to win the AL Central will embolden bad GMs to never give up on a season

The fact that [the Guardians] won the AL Central now emboldens every general manager... because when they're 15 and a half games back, they'll be like, 'We're still in this. Remember the Guardians?'

This is an observation on front office psychology and 'copycat' league behavior.

Morning international games ruin the day for functional human beings

When you have the morning game, it fucks up your entire day as a functional human being. You wake up early, you can't do anything because you're watching the football game. And then guess what? When that football game's over, you have to watch another football game. Roger Goodell hates church.

The impact of morning games on productivity is subjective.

The Steelers offense is for real now that Aaron Rodgers is getting the ball out fast

Steelers offense actually looked for real. Maybe this is what the Steelers offense is going to be, is Aaron Rodgers getting the ball out insanely fast. I think I saw the stat, it was 2.17 seconds to throw. He just was whipping it around. It didn't matter because the Steelers' offense looked better than it has in a while.

The offense led the Steelers to 10-7 and the AFC North title. But Rodgers was terrible in the playoff loss (17/33, 146 yards, pick-six).

Mike Tomlin absolutely lives in his fears despite his favorite catchphrase

Mike Tomlin, one of his favorite quotes to say is, 'we don't live in our fears.' Bullshit, dude. You do live in your fears. You had a fourth and maybe a half a yard on the opponent's 39 yard line and you punted. Everyone in the world is going for this. Just maybe go for it.

This is a subjective assessment of a coach's philosophy versus his actions.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.
