A sense of humor is the most important trait for an astronaut

Perhaps the most important insight NASA has gleaned from studying team dynamics in space and on earth is the preciousness of one trait. In particular, a sense of humor... the most important task by far is that of the clown. A person who's funny and also wise enough to understand each member of the group at diffuse tensions.

NASA researchers have indeed published findings suggesting that 'clowns' are vital for long-duration mission success.

The last 12 months in DC sports is a top five all-time bad sports year for a city

Based on the research that I've done, I think that the last 12 months in DC sports has been a top five all time bad sports year for a city, for a sport, for sports town. All four major sports. The Wizards historically bad. The nationals were terrible last year... the commander's backsliding and just disappointing everybody.

While subjective, the performance of the Wizards and Commanders during the 2024-2025 period aligns with this assessment of a historic low for the city.

Luke McCaffrey will make the Pro Bowl next year

I've got that means Luke McCaffrey Pro Bowl next year. Mm. That's what that means.

Luke McCaffrey is an emerging talent, but a Pro Bowl nod in his second season is a high bar.

I hate the NBA Play-in and won't take it seriously until a 9th or 10th seed goes deep

I hate the playing. I hate the playing... it's stupid and I honestly like, until a team in the ninth or 10th spot can go deep in the playoffs, I'm not gonna take it seriously. The ninth or 10th team are never gonna win. Like, they're never gonna go deep. This isn't serious.

The 2023 Miami Heat reached the Finals from the play-in, but Big Cat qualifies his take by dismissing teams that were 'playoff teams anyway'.

Drafting partners Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd on the same team will be a nightmare

I think it's gonna be a nightmare on the team. Agreed. I think it's gonna be bad news on the team. Agreed. Also, if you're Paige, you probably don't mind looking at some of the ladies on the team every now and again. Now you can't do that anymore. Nope. I think it's, I think it's bad news.

This is a subjective prediction about team chemistry which is difficult to quantify but a common point of debate in sports management.
