It's more fun to root for the worst team in the NBA than a middling team

There's something about being a fan for the worst team in the NBA that is like even more, it's more fun than being a middling team because you have like a couple young guys that that's all you care about is them playing well. ... Being in the no man's land of like making the play-in and stuff sucks.

A classic 'fan philosophy' debate that cannot be definitively proven right or wrong.

The day Dan Snyder sells the Commanders is the best day of my sports life

It is one of the best days of my life. I would say Washington Capital Stanley Cup is day number one of my sports life Nationals, nationals World Series, probably number two. And then I would put Dan Snyder selling the team. ... Fuck it. I'm, I'm gonna put this number one. Okay. I think this is better. Number one, I think this is a better day because it opens up the entire future of my football fandom.

The Washington Commanders should temporarily revert to 'Washington Football Team' before rebranding as the 'Hogs'

I hope that Josh Harris... they buy the team. And I hope they're like, you know what? This name sucks. The commander sucks. Nobody cares about it. Hogs. And then I hope they say, okay, we need a year to figure out what the end name of the team's gonna be. So we're gonna go back to the football team for a year. And then the year after that, they announced the new team name. Hogs would be great.

As of late 2024, the team is still the Commanders, though the new ownership has not ruled out a future name change.

If a sports owner has two teams, they will always have a favorite child

No. Because like, this will get into a situation where if you own two teams, like which one does [the owner] care about more? ... it's kinda like a Jerry Reinsdorf situation with the White Sox and Bulls. Like we, you gotta have a favorite child.

Subjective opinion on ownership psychology, though often cited by fans of the 'neglected' team.

The NBA's 65-game award rule was specifically created because of Joel Embiid

It's a thousand percent... it's literally the Joel Embiid rule. No, this rule was made because of Joel Embiid. They made the rule because of Joel Embiid because people were upset that he won the MVP and they didn't think that he played enough games.

While the rule was spurred by 'load management' trends, Embiid played 66 games in his MVP season, meaning he would have qualified under the current rule anyway.

The Phillies will regress to a wild card team and lose in the first round

I think Phillies are regressing. They'll still make the playoffs as a wild card team. They'll sneak in and then lose in the first round.

Depends on the 2026 Phillies performance.
