Billy Napier is the best coach ever when his back is against the wall and he's almost fired

Billy Napier with his back against the wall might be the best coach ever. He literally just, just get him, get him almost fired and he'll start performing.

This is a subjective characterization of Napier's coaching tenure and 'clutch' ability under pressure.

Statcast measurements for home run distances are a lie

Stack Cast said [the Aaron Judge home run went] like 473. I don't believe that for a second. ... When they say like 373 feet on their like internal measurement system, there's no way that was only 373 feet, right? No, I don't believe any of that.

This is a subjective opinion on the accuracy of tracking technology, which cannot be definitively proven wrong without independent data.

The Blue Jays are the only team with the mental criteria to beat the Dodgers in the World Series

I ran a mental simulation last night to, 'cause I was pissed off. 'cause it seems like the Dodgers were gonna win the World Series and there's nothing anybody else could do about it. I did 2000 mental simulations. I was laying in bed envisioning a team that I could picture beating the Dodgers in the World Series. And the only team that fits my mental criteria is the Blue Jays.

This is a subjective mental exercise and the Blue Jays didn't win the 2025 World Series (the Dodgers did).

MLB is rigging playoff games and juicing baseballs to extend series

If the Yankees had got swept, it's in like MLB needs to do something territory. Someone's, you know, someone's gotta extend a series. ... I'm saying like MLB is gonna rig games to advance the series. ... when the Brewers and Dodgers are pitching, they'd give him the, the juiced ones.

While MLB has admitted to varying ball properties in the past, there is no evidence of specific rigging to extend series in 2025.

LSU will supplant Texas as the second-best team in the SEC

I look at LSU and the coaching upgrade that they have and how talented that team is. I wonder if they're not the second best team in the league.

Will be resolved based on final SEC standings.

Indiana has a real chance to have the best defensive line in the Big 10

I believe there's a chance that Indiana has the best defensive line in the Big 10. I think that is a real possibility with what they have, both as guys as they've developed. And because with the new rules, some people they've been able to bring back who weren't in NFL camps... They've got like fathers of three on their defensive line. And I think that's a huge advantage to have.

Will be evaluated based on total defense/sack metrics in the Big 10.

The Big 10 will only get three teams into the 2026 College Football Playoff

I'm gonna say it now. Big 10 doesn't get a fourth team in. Oh, okay. I think they're only gonna get those three [Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State]. They're just gonna eat each other alive.

The 2026 CFP selection will resolve this.
