The Pirates should have let Paul Skenes try to finish his no-hitter despite the pitch count

Paul Skeens threw a no hitter through seven innings... 99 [pitches]. Took him out before he got to a hundred. I get it. But also, fuck that... put 'em out there for the eighth inning. See if he can get out of it in 10 pitches.

This is a subjective opinion on managerial strategy.

The take is inherently subjective as it links greatness to fan-fighting, which isn't a standard metric.

Nike is likely behind Jaylen Brown and Kyrie Irving being left off Team USA

And I do think there is probably some truth to the Nike thing where Kyrie is also, you know, if [Jaylen Brown's] a snub, Kyrie's a snub... They're both very outspoken against Nike. Coincidence? Probably not.

This is a conspiracy theory that cannot be definitively proven or disproven.

The Bears could have a top-five offense even if they miss the playoffs

There's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top-five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost—I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

This resolves when the 2026 regular season ends and Chicago's offensive ranking and playoff status are known.

The Jaguars could win the AFC South

I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're gonna be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna keep going forward.

The Jaguars' season and Trevor Lawrence's 2026 performance will determine the prediction.
