It currently pays to be cheap in MLB because teams with the highest payrolls are all failing

The Mets fucking suck... everyone's pissed off at [Buck Showalter] and it kind of like speaks to a larger trend in Baseball This year, which is that the teams with the highest payrolls, they are all underperforming. Yeah. So you it pays to be cheap in Major League Baseball.

The 2023 Mets (record payroll) missed the playoffs, as did the Padres. The World Series featured the Rangers (high spend) but also the D-backs (low spend).

Modern golf has a serious ball problem because courses are becoming too easy

When I watched Keegan Bradley play, I was like, okay, golf does have a ball problem. Yeah, I mean it, it was an embarrassment to the game of golf. They're making the courses too easy. It's the balls actually, right?

The USGA and R&A eventually did announce a ball rollback plan in late 2023 to address this exact concern.

Florida's decision to steal bases while leading LSU by 15 runs was a mistake that motivated the Tigers

Things got really bad for LSU when, when Florida started to steal bases when they were up by like 15 runs in the seventh inning. That, to me was a mistake by Florida because you gave LSU something to be really pissed off about going into game three... LSU would have way less to fight about I think their confidence would be down going into game three and they wouldn't be angry.

LSU defeated Florida 18-4 in Game 3 to win the title on June 26, 2023.

[Ezekiel Elliott] has been acquired by the summer. Yes, he is. He's playing full-time for summer vibes... he's gonna get fat as shit this off season.

Elliott eventually signed with the Patriots in August and appeared to be in professional playing shape, making this largely incorrect Hyperbole.

The USMNT has a massive drop-off in talent between the starters and the backups

I will say that our, our second stringers, there's a pretty big fall off between the talent level of our starters and I'd say most of our, our backups, especially on the defensive end. It was not, it didn't, it didn't look inspiring. Yeah, we are, we are not a deep, deep team.

The take is a subjective evaluation of team depth.

Trading LaMelo Ball to the Timberwolves makes them the most interesting team in the NBA

I think it, it instantly makes the Timberwolves like the most interesting team. Yeah. Because I have no idea what the fuck is gonna happen with this combination.

Whether a team is 'most interesting' is entirely subjective.

I’m opting out of all Caitlin Clark discourse until she wins something

Can I just, can I say something about the Caitlin Clark situation? I would like to opt out of all Caitlin Clark discourse until she wins something. Why are we wasting all this time? She can't win the big one. She talking about a loser. She's never, she's never won a title.
