Baseball should not outlaw spitting due to coronavirus concerns

Spitting needs to stay. It's the only place in America where a guy could just go outside and spit non-stop for like four hours and nobody says shit to him... isn't it better to be spitting all your germs out? If you have a handgun and you're constantly firing off rounds into the ground you're way less likely to accidentally shoot somebody. So we should actually be encouraging more spitting.

MLB did actually implement a ban on spitting (sunflower seeds/tobacco) in 2020 as part of health protocols, though it was loosely enforced.

Jerry Krause deserves credit for the Bulls dynasty but his ego was a detriment

[Jerry] Krause deserved more credit than he got but wanted more credit than he deserved. So he's constantly stuck in that spot where he is like, 'I should be getting more credit.' And he probably, in a weird way, should, but he wanted so much credit that it then became a detriment and a galvanizing force for those Bulls teams.

Subjective assessment of Krause's legacy and management style.

Kobe Bryant was the closest player to Michael Jordan in terms of his competitive mean streak

I think Kobe [Bryant] gets interviewed for this and... he was the closest thing to MJ after MJ in terms of that competitive mean streak. At all costs, like 'I will do anything it takes to do it.'

Subjective comparison of competitive drive between two all-time greats.

Leaked Wonderlic scores are a smokescreen designed to hurt Tua Tagovailoa's draft stock

They were also incorrect leaked Wonderlic scores all that which tells me it's smokescreen season for someone out there. Like someone wants the rest of the NFL to believe that Tua is dumb because they gave Tua a 13 in the first Wonderlic score. It's not true at all. That's not what he got.

Tua's actual score was reported as an 18 or 19 by most reliable sources, proving the '13' report was likely inaccurate or a rough draft leak.

The Chiefs' window never closed

I don't think we ever actually closed the Chiefs' window. I think Mahomes was just in bed because he was injured, far away from the window.

The Chiefs' long-term contention status is ultimately subjective, though their dynasty remained active at the time of the episode.

Mahomes will be back to himself by season's end

By the end of this season, Mahomes is gonna be back to being Mahomes.

Whether Mahomes returned to his established level by the end of the 2026 NFL season had not yet been resolved.

The Oregon loss could turn Dan Lanning into a psychopath

I don't think that Dan Lanning has slept since that loss. I think Dan Lanning has turned into an absolute psycho because of this loss. He's sick. It actually might be a dangerous thing for the rest of the Big Ten that Oregon lost that game.

Whether the loss made Oregon more dangerous over the rest of the season is a future, testable team-performance claim.
