The Red Sox trading Babe Ruth to fund a play was a terrible business decision

I'll go I guess with the Red Sox trading the Babe Ruth, best baseball player of all time, for rights to a play. Probably a huge mistake.

Ruth went on to become the greatest player ever for the rival Yankees while the Sox went on an 86-year championship drought.

MLB and NBA will both return in July 2020

I have a prediction that we will have baseball and basketball in the month of July.

MLB returned on July 23, 2020, and the NBA bubble games began on July 30, 2020. Prediction was spot on.

Duck Hodges will have a 12-year career as a lucrative backup quarterback

I also think that our friend duck duck Hodges has kind of set a little career path in place for himself where he could be the backup behind Big Ben and then he could sign a lucrative backup quarterback contract elsewhere. He could be like a David Carr type quarterback that just kind of like hangs out for 12 years.

Devlin 'Duck' Hodges played his last NFL game in 2019 and retired from football in 2022 after a stint in the CFL.

Only 'upper echelon' guys can rock obscure hats like fedoras and have it feel normal

There's something about dudes who can rock like cool hats and have it feel normal. It's just it's not an attainable goal for regular dudes. It's just their upper echelon guys.

This is a subjective aesthetic opinion about fashion and social perception.

Tom Brady helping Mike Macdonald prepare for the Patriots would be a huge slap in the face to the New England region.

That would be egregious if that was true. I don't believe it is true. But if it were, that would be unforgivable. Not unforgivable. That would be a, a blemish, a big blemish. Big time. It'd be a slap in the face of the whole region.

Jayson Tatum is playing cute by claiming he found out about the Jaylen Brown trade on social media.

I'm sure he knew that he was on the trading block and he didn't know specifically when he got traded and he found out just like everyone else... all Brad Stevens, Jaylen Brown, they talked about how, you know, he was gonna be on the trading block and they were gonna try and move him. So I'm sure Jayson Tatum was also aware of that. But in terms of, he's probably playing a little, a little cutesy there where like no one specifically told him, 'Hey, this is the trade.' He found out like everyone else. But I'm sure he was not surprised and fully aware what the plan was.

Subjective interpretation of Tatum's PR framing.

The trade just happened in the fictional 2026 timeline provided; further moves are pending.
