PFT CommenterMLB owners will use any 2020 player concessions as leverage to implement a future salary cap
If the players choose to go ahead and say, 'yeah, we will take your demand this season to do essentially a soft salary cap for this one year,' do you think that there's any possibility that the owners don't use that as future leverage in the next negotiation? I think that they're going to take whatever they can get and any sacrifice that the players make, that's going to come back to bite them in the ass for future generations.

Big CatFake 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.
Big CatMLB 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. Because if they are, that means that they're probably not losing as much money as they're claiming they're going to lose. They're just trying to get a good deal.
PFT CommenterThe government is coming for the First Amendment by regulating comment sections
The government is coming for comment sections. They're taking away our First Amendment. They are coming for our First Amendment and they're trying to silence the internet commenters of America. It means right now that no one's allowed to talk trash on the internet.

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.
PFT CommenterBaker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland
This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.
PFT CommenterThe NFL should reduce the season to 16 games
I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.
