The NFL's electronic first down measurement system is bad for the sport because it removes human anticipation
This is bad. And here's why. The chain and the stick is awesome. It gives you another play. It's a free play that you get... the anticipation. That's another stop of them running out... That's what we love about football is the weird shit. If we were starting football from scratch right now, there's no chance in hell there would be three old guys with sticks.

View episodeThe Celtics' Game 1 win over the Pacers was a 'wake-up call win,' which is the best kind of win
It was a wake up call win, which are the best types of wake up calls... they overcame, they were stumbling at the end of the fourth quarter, couple of really bad turnovers. Jalen Brown was not playing good in the fourth quarter. And then he came up clutch when it mattered most.
The Pacers' Game 1 loss to the Celtics is the most demoralizing loss possible
This seems like the most demoralizing loss possible. The Pacers had the game won and they gave it away. And when you give a game away like that in the last like 20 seconds, it feels like even if it goes into overtime, there's nothing good that's gonna happen to you.
I predict the Celtics will blow out the Pacers in Game 2
Blowout wake up call. Celtics. They've been woken up. This was the perfect ending. It was a wake up call win.

View profileThe 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.
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.
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.
