Trevor Bauer is the dumbest player in baseball because he got lead poisoning from snorting fighting necklaces

What it basically amounts to is Trevor Bauer is the dumbest player in Major League Baseball, possibly sports. Trevor Bauer got spooked by a fake tweet in 2011 that Obama was going to take his fighting necklaces and confiscate them. So he snorted them and then got lead poisoning, and now he's the dumbest player in baseball.

The claim that he snorted jewelry and has lead poisoning is factually false.

Jimmy Pitaro will eventually go to Mike Golic with his hat in his hand for a Mike and Mike reunion

There's going to be a Mike and Mike reunion. It's going to happen. Jimmy [Pitaro] is going to go to Mike Golic with his hat in his hand and say, Mike, we screwed up.

A full Mike and Mike reunion on ESPN never occurred; the show remained defunct.

A Mike and Mike reboot would be worth signing a new contract with ESPN for

I will sign another contract with ESPN if it's to work on the reboot of Mike and Mike. There we go.

The reboot never happened and the hosts never returned to ESPN in this capacity.

The NFL is trending toward eliminating the preseason in favor of a 19 or 20-game regular season

This is now how it chips away that we're going to maybe go no preseason 19-20 games. Regular season. McVay's doing that, too. McVay benched all his good players. So, I mean, I would be, you know, take away a couple preseason, give us a couple more regular season. I'd be okay with that. Why not? More football that way.

The NFL expanded to a 17-game regular season in 2021 and reduced the preseason to 3 games, proving Big Cat's intuition about the shift correct, though the specific number (19-20) hasn't been reached yet.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

The Celtics are no longer eligible to be the NBA's team of the 2020s without Jaylen Brown

If the Celtics rebuild and they get back to like the NBA finals, let's say in like 2029, let's say they win another chip in 2029, that's a different team. Like the core is completely different without Jalen Brown. I don't know that you could consider the Celtics to ever even be eligible for team of the 2020s. Because it's gonna be two different iterations of the team.

Inherently subjective criteria for what constitutes a 'team of the decade'.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

This is a subjective opinion on sporting rules.
