Baseball writers will hold Ichiro's unannounced retirement against him in Hall of Fame voting

This is going to cost him some votes in the Hall of Fame. When he's eligible, people are saying that he might be another unanimous entry... but I would not put it past baseball writers to get upset about not getting the heads up about his retirement and hold that against him five years from now.

Ichiro Suzuki received 393 of 394 votes (99.7%) on his first Hall of Fame ballot in 2025, falling just one vote short of unanimous selection. Baseball writers did not meaningfully hold his unannounced retirement against him — he received near-universal support.

Watching college basketball for 15 hours a day is a sport in itself

Watching college basketball for 15 hours a day is a sport. It is. It is literally a sport, and we're pretty fucking good at it.

The concept of 'watching sports' as a sport is inherently subjective and humorous.

I would have taken Tom Izzo in a fight against his own players

[Tom Izzo] was going at him. And you know what? I would have taken Tom Izzo in the fight. He looked like he should be on the sidelines wearing a white tank top with a stain on it. He was on Cops holding a pint of Jack. He was very, very angry.

This is a hypothetical 'who would win' scenario based on vibes, making it subjective.

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
