I love a good bagel and a good factory tour!

Mr. Leitch, so how many weeks will the Giants have to hold first place before you and the other experts start saying they are the favorite to win the division? It’s been over two months now. Just curious.

I must say, not losing two of three against a team as rough as the Cardinals are right now would be a start!

No Crawford, no Longoria, no Belt, no problem. The Giants still take 3 out of 4 from the Dodgers. What’s it gonna take Will? When do you acknowledge your error?

I'm pretty sure Kofi came back because he wanted to be close to Bagel Fest.

I was thinking about USA Basketball (both teams) and how perhaps we're on a long-term 50 year trajectory of being England in football. We would still have the strongest domestic leagues BY FAR (NBA, WNBA vs. Premier League) and every big player in the world would want to play here but the level of talent worldwide means that we're no longer the favorites to win the big tournaments (Olympic Basketball vs. World Cup/Euros). It's an interesting thought experiment, at least.

This is interesting! Though I really do think the fact that the US team never practices together until the exhibition games has to have something to do with it too.

I have always been a heavy tipper (probably too heavy, to be honest), but during the pandemic, I'll confess to sometimes getting a little ridiculous.
