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.

The Philadelphia 76ers make the most basketball sense for LeBron James in free agency.

I think it's the Cavs, but I'm reading every report in hopes that it's a Sixers. So I, I just, in my heart of hearts, I can't support Cavs when I want it to be Sixers... Basketball wise, it makes the most sense for sure. I mean it's the one thing that the Sixers are missing. They need, like they don't have a, LeBron could be like a true point guard and be a facilitator for the good players on the, for the stars on the team. And he's a four that could defend multiple positions.

This is inherently subjective, as he is arguing about what makes the 'most sense' rather than strictly predicting where LeBron will sign.

Any man who asks for a blanket because he's cold isn't a real man

Any man who is, who is cold, you're not a man. Is not a man. Not a man. ... Or if they're like, oh, I'm cold. Do you have a blanket that I can use?

Anyone complaining about Bryce Harper being credited with a triple against the Diamondbacks doesn't know baseball

It was. They scored a triple. It was, it's a triple. ... He would've been thrown out for sure. Yeah. But it is a triple and anyone who's complaining about it being a triple does not know ball.

The official scorer did rule it a triple, making Max technically correct according to MLB records.
