Major League Baseball is actively suppressing local investment to force the A's to Las Vegas

Major League Baseball has allegedly been telling [Oakland investors] that they're not allowed to talk about their interest because they want the A's to move to Vegas so badly. Major League Baseball is saying don't talk about it publicly... If you do, we're going to prevent you from investing in any other teams in the future. It just stinks to high heaven.

This involves ongoing reporting about the Athletics' relocation and MLB's internal communications, which remains a matter of reporting and opinion.

Xander Schauffele had a better year than Scottie Scheffler

Xander is now—I like, you can't say that Xander hasn't had a better [year]. I know Scotty has all these wins on the tour. Two majors to one. That's it. Xander had the better year.

The 2024 season is concluded. Schauffele won 2 majors, while Scheffler won 1 major plus the Players and Olympic Gold. It is a classic 'quality vs. quantity' debate.

Joe Biden's exit from the 2024 race is the political version of a coach being fired after making the tournament

The whole Biden thing. Is he—he now is just that coach who got fired at Long Beach State and then made the tournament. That's what's happening. He's going to ride it out. He's going to coach the bowl game.

This is a metaphorical comparison that can't be factually proven right or wrong.

Joe Biden's political situation is identical to a backup quarterback entering a game

It is kind of like the backup quarterback situation. Kamala, are you really ready to see Trevor Siemian start? Let's go until he steps up and then throws three picks in the first half and you're like, 'fuck, I kind of miss Zach Wilson.'

This is a satirical metaphor and cannot be literally proven right or wrong.

Garrett Bolles should catch a pass before he retires

I want to be able to bet on Garrett Bolles to have one reception in every game. Because I feel like Sean Payton is going to try to get him that touch. He definitely will because he doesn't want him to retire as the guy who never touched the ball.

It requires Garrett Bolles to record a touch before the end of his career; that has not been resolved here.

The Eagles' offense might be better without A.J. Brown

I actually think that the offense might be better without A.J. Brown.

Whether Philadelphia's offense performs better without A.J. Brown is a season-level comparative claim and is not reliably resolved here.

The Chargers should eliminate their kicking game and go for it every time

The Chargers should just not have a punter. They should not have a kicker. They shouldn't even have like a long snapper on the team. Use those positions on somebody else and you're just—burn the boats. You're just going for it all the time. Fuck it. Who cares? Right? Season's over. Might as well try to score some points.

This is a deliberately satirical roster-building proposal, not a prediction that can be objectively graded.
