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 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.
