The Mets will not contend for a decade

I also have a report from someone inside the Mets organization who contacted me and said... I'll never see a Mets playoff game won't contend for, for a decade.

This is a hyperbolic claim about a decade-long drought, but the Mets missed the playoffs in 2023 and 2024.

The Mets will be World Series Champions in 2026

The team is not going to be pursuing free agents this off season or assembled team that can compete for World Series next year... 24 is looking to be more of a kind of transitory year... Definitely Mets all in '26. Remember this Uncle Stevie on this, on this podcast with the first report, Mets World Series Champions 2026.

The Mets have not yet won the 2026 World Series as the date has not arrived.

Steve Cohen will buy his way back into contention this offseason

Uncle Stevie... after hearing that report, I was in the party like, sell everybody. Just buy everybody the next year. Like what's the point of being a rich guy if can't just buy people... he's gonna buy some people. Let's get [Ohtani]. Even though He is not a free agent.

The Mets did not buy Ohtani (he went to the Dodgers), and they had a relatively quiet offseason following their sell-off.

The US Women's National Team are 'entitled babies'

No, you shouldn't be celebrating like that after you tie Portugal. Zero. Zero. You only won one game against Vietnam... So act listen, you haven't won shit yet. They're entitled, they're entitled babies.

The USWNT was eventually knocked out in the Round of 16, their worst ever World Cup finish, lending some creedence to the critique of their play.

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.
