A Gonzaga-Baylor championship game won't appeal to casual sports fans as much as Blue Bloods

If we can get Gonzaga-Baylor, it would be great for intercollege basketball fans, but the casual sports fan, maybe not. They won't set aside the time if it was Duke versus Kentucky in the championship.

The 2021 Baylor-Gonzaga final drew roughly 16.9 million viewers, which at the time was the second-lowest-rated title game ever, supporting Jake's claim.

I am going to be a major Major League Baseball fan this year

I've decided to own a fantasy baseball team in a $0 a year league on ESPN with random people. I am going to be a major league baseball fan this year. Just like of the entire league. Just of the stats.

PFT notoriously drops these bits within a month as he has a short attention span for non-football sports stats.

Gabe Kapler's 'win time of possession' strategy for the Giants might actually work in baseball

The Giants manager, Gabe Kapler, he has a message that's written on his whiteboard in his office that says, 'win time of possession.' ...controlled the pace of play and keep the defense on the field as long as possible so they get bored. I actually kind of believe that.

The 2021 Giants went on to win 107 games, the most in franchise history, proving Kapler's unorthodox management styles were highly effective that year.

The Justin Fields slander is a smokescreen by teams drafting in the 5-10 range who want him to fall

I just assume whenever we see like Justin Fields slander, it's a team somewhere in like the five to ten range that's hoping that Justin Fields will fall to [them]. It's definitely smokescreen season.

Fields did fall out of the top 10 to the 11th pick, validating the idea that teams allowed him to slide despite his talent.

I will be calling college football this fall

If I make myself publicly fully available right now, best case scenario, I'm in the booth calling college football this fall. Is that gonna happen? Is that reality? I don't know. But the odds are going to increase by making this jump right now.

Jake did secure several broadcasting assignments after leaving the show, including college sports.

The French Open court conditions were to blame for Novak Djokovic's meniscus injury

He blamed the court surface because of the rain. He asked them to wipe it multiple times and they did not approve... could this injury have been prevented? Possibly if there was just a little bit more frequent care of the court.

Djokovic himself cited the surface as the cause for his tear, though medical proof that wiping the court would have prevented it is impossible.

Dots Pretzels are the most addictive snack in existence

I've never been addicted to a snack more than this. And it's dangerous. It is crazy.
