The worse a sports franchise is, the more music and zaniness they pump into the stadium experience

The more your franchise stinks, the more music and zaniness on the field in between plays. ... the fucking speaker, the shit they were pumping out [at FedEx Field] was literally playing Twisted Sister. ... It becomes like when you're in a bar and you're hitting on some chick and you're just screaming in her ear.

A widely shared observation among sports fans, particularly regarding the late-Dan Snyder era Redskins.

The Washington Nationals are a wagon

The Nationals are a wagon. Especially, I saw this fact earlier, when they're wearing those blue... color rush uniforms, they're 20-1.

The Nationals did indeed sweep the Cardinals and went on to win the World Series in 2019.

Bryce Harper should get a World Series ring if the Nationals win one

Bryce Harper should get a World Series ring if we win one. He got this whole thing started. He said, 'I'm here to bring a title back to D.C.' Bryce Harper, we're doing it for you.

Harper did not receive a ring, nor would he realistically be eligible, as he was on a different team.

LeBron James' statement on China was so bad he could have claimed it was 'Opposite Day' 10 minutes later

He actually – it was such a bad statement that if he had come back and 10 minutes later been like not or like opposite day, he would have been good. He would have been good if he was like everything I said, that was a joke. I meant the opposite of that.

This is a subjective opinion on the quality of a PR statement.

Drake Maye is not the Patriots' problem

Is Drake Maye a fraud? Our problem is our offensive line. We can't run the ball either. We can't throw, we can't fucking run. And then what happens? We have three-and-outs and our defense has to keep coming out.

Whether Maye is a fraud and how much blame belongs to the offensive line are evaluative judgments.

Baseball's expanded playoffs are a money grab

The divisional round of the playoffs, you're seeing these guys shaking up champagne. It's like, dude, this is a money grab by MLB. It's a second- and third-place team. They were seven, eight games out of first and they made the playoffs.

The claim that the format is a money grab is an interpretation of league incentives, while the references to lower-place teams are factual context.

The NBA should turn on the three-point line only late in quarters

I would get rid of the defensive three-second rule. I'd get rid of the three-point line until the final two minutes of each quarter. Then it lights up, then you can take your threes. And we get back to pick-and-rolls, give-and-goes and backdoor passes and actually dunking on somebody.

This is a proposed rule preference and cannot be objectively judged as correct or incorrect.
