To the grace point, give your greatest star a little bit of grace there, Manfred, and from the commissioner's office say, okay, guess what?

We're making it two and a half minutes now.

That's a disappointment.

You know what no one ever says I'd like to do at the baseball field is I'd like to lord the rules over everybody else and call balls and strikes and who's out and who's safe.

What kind of weirdo in this rolling conversation about baseball umpires and now is the NFL going to have to deal with replacement referees again?

And should we be using the graphic to call balls and strikes over human beings and all of that?

It ignores the fundamental weirdness of being a human being who decides to be an umpire or referee.

What kind of weirdo wants to be in that spot?

Not playing the game, and I'm not good enough to play, so instead I am going to lord the rules over those people.

What a dork.

Brandon Ingram kills this team, huh?

That's not cream of the crop, exactly, in the East.

That's not the teams that you thought, well, that Heat fans mostly thought they'd be competing with.

Yeah, it's a disastrous season.

It was a disastrous evaluation at the trade deadline to think that they had enough to not either capitulate or add to this team.

To think that the way that the roster was constituted following their failed pursuit of Giannis was good enough to help their chances in the offseason to acquire a start.

Like Giannis, I don't – look, it's been misguided.

It's been misguided for years.

I'm not going to be a broken record about it.

We move on to the offseason hopefully here, and maybe it works out for them this time.
