The Ravens are officially frauds until they win a big playoff game

I've called the [Ravens] frauds until you guys win a big game... is it fair that I'm keeping you guys motivated by saying your frauds until you win a game where either you come back from a big deficit or win a playoff game?

The Ravens would go on to win a playoff game in Jan 2021 against the Titans, briefly shedding the label, though they lost the following week.

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.

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.

The intentional-grounding penalty was the right play

I actually think he had, that's an OC problem because there was no underneath route. If he throws that deep and, like, everyone had—it just was a shit show. He couldn't throw it deep because he was basically getting chased. If he takes a sack, everyone has to come back. It probably is more than 10 seconds to get the next play. So that one, I had no problem.

Whether the decision was optimal is an inherently debatable football judgment.

The Colts needed a complete reset after Chris Ballard's firing

Chris Ballard was there for 10 years, never won an AFC South. You finally just—it's inexcusable. The Andrew Luck retirement is probably what bought Chris Ballard a lot more years. He basically could just keep on saying, 'Well, our plans were screwed up because Andrew Luck retired.'

This is an evaluative judgment about a general manager's tenure and cannot be objectively resolved.

The NBA should start on Christmas Day and play 60 games

The NBA should start on Christmas day. It should be a 60-game schedule. It'd be so much better.

This is a preference about league scheduling and cannot be objectively resolved.
