MLB owners should accept all business risks rather than forcing players to renegotiate contracts
If you buy a Major League Baseball team... owning it is a can't-lose proposition. But that's not how business works. If you're the owner of a team, part of that is accepting all the risk that comes along with owning that business. If something bad happens, the risk falls on your shoulders as the owner, it does not fall on the shoulders of the people with whom you've entered a collective bargaining agreement.

View episodeFake crowd noise in sports broadcasts is a good idea with no downside
I'm totally down with the fake crowd noise. They had it for the Bundesliga. I thought it was awesome. It really does make it seem like a real game... I don't see any downside. I know the opposition to that is we want to hear the players talk, but as soon as players know that they're on a live mic, they're not going to talk the same way.
MLB owners are bluffing about canceling the season to force a better deal
I keep going back to the fact that it feels like the owners are okay threatening this year not having baseball, and that tells you everything.

I still think that the, the Knicks are probably gonna win in five. They could even pull off the sweep. I guess the only real question we have for you, 'cause we already, we declared that the New York Knicks have won the series after game one. Correct.
The NBA should rebrand the 'granny shot' as the 'pimp grip' to encourage players to use it
Nobody, no player in the NBA wants to shoot a free throw granny style. But if it's pimp grip, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Listen, if it goes in, it doesn't matter. Like if he and he would, he actually probably get some endorsements from it.
I want the Thunder to win so we can love Victor Wembanyama longer before the inevitable hate cycle starts
I know who I want to win. I want the Thunder to win this series. And the reason why I want the thunder to win this series is because I think if the thunder win, we get to restart the clock on how much longer we get to love Weby before we hate 'em. If the Spurs win this series and then they win their first championship and Weby dominates, we're gonna eventually hate Weby.
