The Giants' Maras didn't give Joe Judge the room to work they promised him because of family influence in the personnel department.
My new theory on Joe... is he got a completely raw deal. I think that the Maras—because the Maras have at least one of the sons and I think a nephew that are at the top of the pro personnel department—I think they didn't give Joe Judge and Gettleman as much room to work with as they said they were going to. Now Joe is like, 'fuck this, I want to go out in a blaze of glory.'

Joe Judge intentionally tried to get fired by the Giants
I still am convinced that he tried to get fired because if you look at the timeline, he, his job was guaranteed for next year. And then he completely lost his mind saying the weirdest shit, QB sneaks. And then obviously the finale of saying he wants more power. I think he was essentially like, I want to get fired. I don't want to coach this team anymore.

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.
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.
