College football is the one sport where fans matter the most

College football is the one sport where I think fans matter the most. Yes, we need we need football in the fall. So hopefully NFL I can watch NFL games without fans and I could bring myself to do that. But if we got Springs football on the other side then boom.

The 2020 seasons were played with limited or no fans; the NFL product remained highly watched while the absence of atmosphere in college football was widely noted as a significant loss.

The ESPN horse competition was a complete failure

I'm so happy that I was adamant when they announce that horse was coming out and I said this is going to suck and everyone was like no it's sports or need supports. This sucks... The fact they put it on TV it ruined it.

The event was widely panned by critics and fans for poor production quality and lack of excitement.

Rob Gronkowski is not close to being in game shape or returning to the NFL

I don't think he act look when we were training at Unbreakable... he's waste are than he ever has been right? So we're even talking about what it would take for him to come back and he was never like hi. I need a new approach new program... he's not even close to how it was betrayed.

Gronkowski came out of retirement and was traded to the Buccaneers on April 21, 2020, just four days after this episode.

The Patriots will not trade Rob Gronkowski to the Buccaneers just to help Tom Brady

Also I don't see him going the bucks... the Patriots cologne is right? So why were they just be like, oh, yeah sure. They would trade them because they could get something for him no what I don't see that... I couldn't do that.

The Patriots did exactly this, trading Gronkowski and a 7th-round pick to the Buccaneers for a 4th-round pick on April 21, 2020.

The Bills traded the 22nd pick for Stefon Diggs because he is a proven veteran

We traded it for Diggs who we just we thought at the end of the day that what we could get at 22 wasn't going to be the player that Diggs is... Especially in light of what's going on around our country. We don't even know what kind of offseason we're going to have. So to be able to get a veteran versus School in a rookie up. We just thought made the most sense this year.

Diggs was an immediate All-Pro and transformed the Bills' offense, proving the trade was significantly better than drafting a rookie would have been in 2020.

I don't see the Bills moving back into the first round of the 2020 draft

I'll be excited when it's over because at that point I can start figuring out who's on the board and And who we can try and skiing together, but I don't see us going in the first round.

The Bills did not trade into the first round, making their first selection (A.J. Epenesa) in the second round.

Cam Newton deserves another chance and will have a chip on his shoulder

Cam's a guy route for I think he deserves another chance... I know how he's wired if he feels doubted and I think he's in a strong spot, you know, when he's doubted he's going to try and prove people wrong.

Newton signed with the Patriots and won the starting job, though his performance was mixed.

The Patriots will still be good because Bill Belichick is the greatest coach ever

At the end of the day the Patriots Bill Belichick, you know, he is probably the greatest coach of all time. I don't think they're going anywhere.

The Patriots went 7-9 in 2020 and missed the playoffs, marking the beginning of a decline for the franchise.

A good portion of high-level winning college basketball programs are cheating

I think that if you let's say it's 300 schools. I don't know how many is division one... a good portion of the schools that are are winning at a high level are doing something and it doesn't necessarily mean that they're dropping bags off at someone's house. But you've got to get creative man. Like this is It's a blood sport to get talent.

Numerous investigations and documentaries have corroborated that under-the-table payments were common in high-level recruiting.

If NCAA rules don't change, cryptocurrency will be used to pay college athletes

If instead of way rules don't change something is going to be the new thing because It is again. That's how it works. It has to happen... it wouldn't surprise me if that's the that's the move in the next couple of years if nothing changes.

While NIL laws changed in 2021 (making payments legal), some rogue boosters and collectives have indeed utilized crypto for transactions.

NCAA athletes have a basic human right to monetize their name, image, and likeness

I just want listen the whole idea that everyone's going to get a salary... is probably not accurate, but I do think just the basic human right of being able to monetize your image likeness and name it something that is attainable for athletes. And that that is the thing I think is most realistic and I want to focus on.

NIL laws were passed in 2021, affirming this exact position.

Mississippi is a miserable place and a no-brainer for Mount Flushmore

An absolute no-brainer a few years ago. I did a a college tour... every state had a great time in pretty much all of them. The only one that was a bad time. Just a miserable place to be Mississippi. Oh, wow.

Delaware is only known for tax shelters and Joe Biden's corpse

Delaware number one a number one Delaware. What is in Delaware? Those people are tax. They've got a heart attack... all that's in Delaware is I guess Joe Biden's corpse and those weird tax companies credit card companies.

Delaware is indeed famous for its corporate tax laws and being the home of Joe Biden.

Oklahoma is the JV version of Texas and robbed the world of the SuperSonics

Oklahoma... I don't really like the JV Texas. It's JV Texas tornadoes really suck. And also I'll be honest... I still feel like the The Thunder have blood on their hands for robbing the world of the SuperSonics.

The Seattle SuperSonics move to OKC remains one of the most hated events in NBA history.
