Pitchers must bean the next batter after giving up three or four consecutive home runs to show they have pride

I put that on the Brewers pitching staff because if you give up four home runs in a row and you don't bean the next guy up, that's a real problem. That means that you don't have pride in your craft. After three batters in a row, you've got to hit the next guy in the head.

Hot TakeBaseballHotSarcastic
The take is a satirical endorsement of dangerous behavior (intentional head-hunting) which is against MLB rules and widely condemned.

NFL critics who claim they stopped watching are actually still watching every Sunday

You know my favorite are the people on Twitter that say, I can no longer morally watch football. You are a fucking liar because I know you're fucking watching the Red Zone from 1 o'clock to 7 o'clock every fucking Sunday. You can't stop watching the NFL. You can't. Like it or not, it's here.

This is subjective social commentary on viewer behavior, but viewership data generally remained high despite controversy, supporting the idea of 'hate-watching' or empty threats.

Joe Flacco's back injury will actually benefit Danny Woodhead's usage

I think that's just more touches for [Danny] Woodhead. [Joe Flacco's] going to have a great year, and I'm telling you, this is going to be good for Woodhead.

Woodhead only played 8 games in 2017 due to his own injuries, and Flacco had a mediocre year as the Ravens missed the playoffs. The predicted benefit didn't materialize.

Magnus Ver Magnussen is the second greatest athlete ever behind only Barry Bonds

I don't think there's ever been an athlete that's better at what they do than Magnus [Ver Magnussen], with maybe the exception of Barry Bonds.

This is a subjective comparison of dominance across entirely different sports.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
