Shohei Ohtani's viral bat flip against the Yankees was awkward and forced

I'll stand by this take. I didn't think it was a good flip. He looked awkward. It looked like an awkward bat flip. Everyone was freaking out about it. I thought he looked awkward. It didn't look natural. It looked like he forced that bat flip.

Aesthetics are subjective, though the rest of the room strongly disagrees.

Running backs should not be eligible for the NFL Draft and should be free agents immediately

Running Backs should not be eligible to be drafted. Make them, let them be free agents. Because it is just a matter of fact that running Backs, they wear down faster. That's just the nature of the position. Why don't we let running Backs just be free agents right away?

This is a subjective labor proposal that hasn't been implemented, though the RB value debate remains a major NFL talking point.

The NFL should remove the franchise tag for the running back position

It would probably be a little bit easier if there was just no franchise tag for running back. You can use it on anybody else... but if there's a running back, you can't tag 'em. So they play their first contract, then there will be an actual bidding war for their services.

The franchise tag still exists for all positions in the current CBA.

The city of Philadelphia will never win a championship in any sport ever again

My Cool Throne is the city of Philadelphia never winning anything ever. Joel Embiid, our prince... made comments the other day that he wants to win a Championship in Philadelphia or anywhere else... It seems like if he doesn't win this year in Philly, he's probably out.

Hyperbolic prediction. Since this take, the Phillies, Eagles, and Sixers have all competed but none have won a title.

Daryl Morey is a good talent evaluator but a bad team builder

Daryl Morey has done a lot of good things for the future of the 76ers... He is a very good drafter... He's very good at evaluating talent. He's not very good at putting a team together, which is probably pretty important for a GM.

This is a subjective assessment of a GM's career tenure.

The Bucks would be idiotic not to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo now

You gotta turn the page and this is the best way to do it. 'Cause you can get real, you get real [picks] and like jumpstart your next chapter. You gotta trade him. You have to, it would be idiotic not to trade him at this point.

Subjective team-building philosophy.

I didn't want the Sixers to make the playoffs because this iteration of the team is bad

This isn't a good team. They're not a good basketball team. I don't know what happened in the Celtics series, but this is who we thought they were. I didn't want to make the playoffs because I didn't want watch this iteration of the Sixers. This team is bad.

While the Sixers were swept, they were a playoff team, making 'bad' a relative term of frustration.
