Major League Baseball made a mistake by having an outfield fence at the Field of Dreams game

I think if they play this game in Iowa, they should not have an outfield fence... It should just be the corn. If there's like a grounder that would bounce into the wall, they have to run into the corn and try to grab the ball... that's probably the biggest mistake that Major League Baseball has made this week.

The game was a massive success with the fence, ending in a dramatic walk-off home run into the corn. The lack of a fence would have likely made the game unplayable by MLB standards.

Cowboys fans should be freaking out about Dak Prescott needing a second MRI

But QB Dak Prescott is planning on getting another MRI... if you're a Cowboys fan, you have to be freaking out right now.

While Dak did miss the preseason and some time later in the season (calf), he started 16 games in 2021. The 'freak out' over this specific shoulder MRI proved to be slightly overblown as he played Week 1.

Dak Prescott should have teammates tackle him in practice to stop overthinking his injury

If I'm Dak... even if my shoulder is still not good to go right now, I would still have people do, like, tackling drills against me in practice where I would get hit because you've got to get that first hit out of your system to stop thinking about it all the time. I would just have people, like, tackle me into a big mat so I didn't hurt my shoulder falling on it.

Dak Prescott did not do this. He returned to play in Week 1 against the Bucs and threw for 403 yards, showing the 'psychological' hurdle was handled through traditional rehab.

Preseason football performance is like 'Play-Doh' that fans can mold to fit whatever narrative they want to believe about their team

Preseason really is just, it's like a Play-Doh that you can just mold to however you want to feel about your team going into the regular season. You can twist what you're watching in a preseason game to fit however you want. If Justin Fields comes out and he's awesome, I'd be like, well, this is incredible. If he stinks, I'd be like, well, COVID, preseason.

This is an observation about fan behavior and the nature of preseason football, which is inherently subjective.

The overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension is the smallest piece of justice the United States has ever received from FIFA

The United States has never benefited from FIFA's corruption before, and it feels like we've been left out of that party. If this is our taste of the corruption, and all the corruption is just overturning a suspension that should never have been given in the first place... it's the smallest piece of justice that the United States could ever get from FIFA.

The USMNT did successfully have Balogun's suspension rescinded during the 2026 World Cup.

The sensor chips inside soccer balls are bullshit and not perfectly aligned with the cameras

I'm so deep into this chip in the ball thing, I've become convinced that it's all bullshit. The sensors, yes, they're there and yes, they pick up on stuff, but there's no chance that it is perfectly aligned with the 50 cameras that are running concurrently in the stadium on live TV at any given time.

This is a subjective claim about technical precision, though PFT expresses strong doubt.

Brandon Aiyuk is in a bad space mentally and will not be signing with the Washington Commanders.

The Washington Commanders have released Brandon [Aiyuk] today from the contract that he didn't sign with us and was never going to sign. Things got kind of weird over the weekend. So [Aiyuk] was saying like talking shit about Jayden's mom... I think that should probably put an end to the Brandon [Aiyuk] to the Commanders rumors. But I was never really on board for it, it's been weird for quite some time with Brandon. I hope he gets whatever help he needs. It doesn't seem like he's in a good space mentally. And it seems like even his best oldest friends have tried to help him and he just burns those bridges too.

Subjective opinion on Aiyuk's mental state and burned bridges, plus a prediction about not going to the Commanders.
