Hour 3 - The Real MVP
Summary
Ben Maller argues Shohei Ohtani is the clear NL MVP over Pete Crow-Armstrong, criticizing fans for taking Ohtani’s dual-threat greatness for granted. He mocks PCA’s whiny post-game comments about umpires and identifies cheering for injuries as the worst sin in sports. The show also covers college football’s legal chaos and debates whether the Raiders should start rookie QB Fernando Mendoza immediately or let him develop behind Kirk Cousins.
