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.

The Bills could have three or four Super Bowls without kickers

You can make the argument that the Buffalo Bills would have like three or four Super Bowls if kickers weren't a thing in football. You can make the argument that the Patriots might not have had the start of that dynasty if it wasn't for kickers.

The claim is a counterfactual and cannot be definitively verified.

Jalen Hurts will answer the Titans by beating them as a passer

I actually think Jalen Hurts is good enough as a quarterback that when somebody dares him to do that, he could say, 'Fuck you, I will beat you as a quarterback.' And then stay in the pocket and throw for like 300 yards and three touchdowns.

Hurts' passing production against Tennessee will determine this prediction.

The Jaguars would be the second-best team in football if they win in Denver

If they win this game in Denver, I would put them maybe second in the power rankings behind the Jets.

The Jaguars' win and their resulting standing in PFT's power rankings are the relevant conditions; the ranking itself is subjective.
