Greg Maddux could still be an effective middle reliever in Major League Baseball

My dad said that Greg Maddux could definitely still be a middle reliever for a team in 2017. I believe it. Yeah.

Greg Maddux had been retired for nine years by 2017 and was 50 years old; his return to MLB was not physically viable.

My dad was convinced Barry Sanders was coming out of retirement every year until 2008

My dad was convinced I would say up until about 2007 or 8 that Barry Sanders was coming back. He had himself convinced every summer right around camp season... He'd be like, someone's going to take Barry Sanders. Someone's going to pick him up. You just watch.

Barry Sanders never came out of retirement after his 1999 departure.

The NHL should ban players from diving to block shots

He [my dad] doesn't think that they should allow players to dive to block shots in the NHL anymore because he likes more goals... a lot of hockey lifers are going to disagree with me because it's like you get the bruises on your body. That's how you know you're a hockey player.

This rule change was never implemented and is widely considered antithetical to hockey culture.

Matthew Dellavedova is a better player than Kyrie Irving

Deli is better than Kyrie. How does your starting point guard only have four assists when the team scores 124? Kyrie is more worried about his brand than actually winning. I like this really unathletic, scrappy white point guard more than the all-star black point guard.

Kyrie Irving is a Hall of Fame talent; Dellavedova was a role player. This is objectively incorrect in terms of basketball ability.
