A ground rule double in baseball should count as a home run

I also think that a ground rule double should be a home run. Not the weird one where it gets stuck in the ivy, but just if it bounces over, I think that should count as a home run.

The rule has not been changed; it remains a ground-rule double.

LeBron James screwed over the Lakers by trying to tamper for Anthony Davis

LeBron screwed the Lakers. LeBron screwed the Lakers... This was like the most blatant act of tampering of all time... And now everyone hates him on the Lakers. And it's hilarious.

The 2018-19 Lakers were indeed in turmoil after the trade deadline, missing the playoffs despite having LeBron. The chemistry was widely reported as toxic.

The Pelicans' refusal to trade Anthony Davis was a battle of owners reasserting power over players

The ownership decided this is where it stops. This is where it all stops. It was a battle of millionaires versus people of wealth. And the people of wealth said, you know what? We care more about football than we do about the NBA.

The Pelicans did indeed hold firm, eventually trading him in the offseason for a massive haul (including Lonzo, Ingram, and picks), proving that waiting worked.

The Pelicans were smart to wait on the Anthony Davis trade to see the draft pick order and negotiate with the Celtics

The Pelicans did the smart thing, and they were just waiting to see who has what pick in the draft. And also, they can negotiate with the Celtics now, too. It was a smart move by the Pelicans [to] wait and see where all the picks land, see if the Celtics want to offer a better offer and not just trade Anthony Davis because he wants to be traded.

The Pelicans eventually traded Davis to the Lakers in the summer for a massive haul including Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks, which was widely seen as a better return than the mid-season offers.

Garrett Bolles should catch a pass before he retires

I want to be able to bet on Garrett Bolles to have one reception in every game. Because I feel like Sean Payton is going to try to get him that touch. He definitely will because he doesn't want him to retire as the guy who never touched the ball.

It requires Garrett Bolles to record a touch before the end of his career; that has not been resolved here.

The Eagles' offense might be better without A.J. Brown

I actually think that the offense might be better without A.J. Brown.

Whether Philadelphia's offense performs better without A.J. Brown is a season-level comparative claim and is not reliably resolved here.

The Chargers should eliminate their kicking game and go for it every time

The Chargers should just not have a punter. They should not have a kicker. They shouldn't even have like a long snapper on the team. Use those positions on somebody else and you're just—burn the boats. You're just going for it all the time. Fuck it. Who cares? Right? Season's over. Might as well try to score some points.

This is a deliberately satirical roster-building proposal, not a prediction that can be objectively graded.
