David Samson, who is trying very hard not to sneeze, takes on the haters of the MLB's money-printing series in Japan. And, yes: Pablo is more valuable than a test pattern.

Are you done shoving food into your mouth? Are you good?
Yes. I somehow, it is just, it's not the word I would use for Mr. Samson's eating style, shoving food in his mouth.
He repackaged his candy into a popcorn bag. Well, I don't like sticking my fingers in the candy bag and then in my mouth and then back in my own candy bag. So I take out of with clean hands candy, put it in a separate container and There were no paper cups here. All that was available was a paper popcorn bag.
Wait, so what are you concerned about with your own fingers going back into a bag? Are we really? Okay. My fingers are just as dirty as your fingers. Well, I certainly do not transfer. It never would occur to me I have a problem.
That's the difference between you and I. It just occurs to me. One of the differences.

Chapter 4: What challenges does the women's basketball tournament face?
The conference tournament on steroids will combine with a few other conferences, make a super conference, not go to 98 teams. We'll go down to 32 teams, and we'll just make it the best of the best.
Well, I think you're headed in the right direction, but it's not quite right. Look, colleges, athletic departments, college presidents have demonstrated that to get more money, they will do pretty much anything. I don't know why. There's already discussions with SEC and Big Ten sort of bullying into, we're going to get more guaranteed slots in the college football playoff.
So they've got the mindset already that we're going to keep other people out. Why wouldn't you create four super conferences, 64 teams, and that's your governing body? Your governing body is we run ourselves like most leagues do. Who else has FIFA? And you see how great that works. Who else has a governing body which is an independent third party? The NFL does their own thing.
NBA does their own thing. Major League Baseball does their own thing. Why don't four college conferences go? We're going to do our own basketball tournament, 64 teams, and we will sell that for a billion and a half dollars, and we'll divide that among our schools, and we will further separate the haves from the have-nots. From the have-nots. I hate that. Literary reference alert. Animal Farm.
And why do you hate that? Because... Because you want a Cinderella to get in. St. Francis is in. The lowest rating.
What's so great about John is he... That is literally what I... He asks you a question, but then he answers it for you.
And also, if you're not watching on YouTube, fluttered his hands around.
Oh, I want to go to Cinderella again. It's so great when St. Francis gets in. It's great on the St. Francis campus. I guarantee you all the broadcasters are going, oh, my God. Can't you just put – by the way, they'll get us to the controversy on North Carolina. The broadcasters are going – Of course it goes back to North Carolina.
Everybody's going to bring Bubba, but the people to blame are, if you are the broadcaster, you want the best teams. I would go to a 64-team tournament. You're going to try to say I influenced it. I didn't because we couldn't.
