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.

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.

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
