Jeff PassanThe 2027 MLB season start is at risk and could be pushed back to June 1st
For a long time I was on the no games missed train and I desperately want to stay there right now. So I'm going to continue to say... March 25th or 26th next year. I'm going to continue to say that, but I am much closer to pushing that day back to June 1st.

PFT CommenterHard Knocks kind of sucks now
Hard knocks kind of sucks now, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all. It was great to see football is a hundred percent back.
Big CatSuper Bowl rings have gotten too big and are unwearable
I have a take, I think Super Bowl rings have gotten too big. Like too big. You can't even wear that. It's pretty much a glove. I would rather have a Super Bowl ring that's really cool that you could wear all the time versus something that is... it's like a Nintendo Switch on their finger.

I believe it was 42 [trades] on Deadline Day alone. And baseball's... I don't think the NFL's trade deadline day is anything like this. The NBA's usually has at least a few big moves. But to me, baseball has the best trade deadline by a mile, even if it's a bunch of jobbers who are going back and forth.
Jeff PassanSports fans should value winning right now over potential future gratification
We've been conditioned as sports fans... to accept that now is not as important as the future. And I hate that. I hate that as a sports fan. I want executives and owners to treat this year like it's the last year that's going to be played. I want them to have reckless abandon trying to go for a championship right now. Because we don't know what the future's going to look like.
Jeff PassanThe Orioles' trade of Adley Rutschman was a reset, not a rebuild, and they 'crushed' the deal
I think this is more reset than rebuild though... to ship him away, it's painful. Getting back Anthony Sasson and Kaizen Witherspoon and Andy Zakar and Carlos Nevas, like they crushed that deal. The Red Sox understood they were overpaying significantly.
