The Bucks leaked the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors to attract teams with better draft assets

I think the Bucks leaked this because they wanna move on from Giannis so they could rebuild. The Knicks don't have any first round picks. So they want a team that has first round picks to be like, oh, he is available for trade, let me come in. ... and there was also a report that his wife's moving to Greece, so he might go play in Greece.

Opinion Basketball Medium

Memes predicted the Bucks leaked the Giannis trade rumors to attract teams with better draft picks than the Knicks. At the 2026 deadline, the Warriors did aggressively pursue Giannis with draft picks and players, but ultimately the Bucks chose not to trade him. The leak-to-attract-offers theory may have had some merit since multiple teams reportedly engaged, but Giannis was not traded.

Statcast measurements for home run distances are a lie

Stack Cast said [the Aaron Judge home run went] like 473. I don't believe that for a second. ... When they say like 373 feet on their like internal measurement system, there's no way that was only 373 feet, right? No, I don't believe any of that.

The Blue Jays are the only team with the mental criteria to beat the Dodgers in the World Series

I ran a mental simulation last night to, 'cause I was pissed off. 'cause it seems like the Dodgers were gonna win the World Series and there's nothing anybody else could do about it. I did 2000 mental simulations. I was laying in bed envisioning a team that I could picture beating the Dodgers in the World Series. And the only team that fits my mental criteria is the Blue Jays.

This is a subjective mental exercise and the Blue Jays didn't win the 2025 World Series (the Dodgers did).

Opinion Baseball HotSarcastic

While MLB has admitted to varying ball properties in the past, there is no evidence of specific rigging to extend series in 2025.

Rain gives the Jets a real chance against Green Bay

Packers are a really good team. But I think the rain helps the Jets. If it was perfect conditions, Jets would probably lose. But it's gonna be rainy as shit too.
