The NFL should not ban the 'tush push' play

I love the tush push. I think if you don't like it, then stop it. Figure out a way to stop it until then. If you don't like it, you can either try to figure out how to make teams stop doing it to you or do it yourself.

The NFL Competition Committee ultimately decided not to ban the play for the 2024 season.

The Eagles would still be 97% successful on the tush push if it were banned

I actually think that if they ban this play, I think the Eagles will still do it. And it will go from like 99% success to like 97% success... 90% of the time [Jalen Hurts] is getting those yards himself.

While the play wasn't banned, the Eagles' success rate dropped slightly in 2024, but they remained the most effective team, supporting the spirit of the take.

The Gillette Stadium structure is the largest lighthouse in the continental U.S.

The Patriots built the largest Lighthouse in continental us. It was, you know, discussed, promoted... Let's make the biggest Lighthouse in the continental US Asterisk. No big deal.

The Patriots marketing team claimed it as the tallest 'functioning' lighthouse in the U.S., but it is not a recognized aid to navigation by the Coast Guard, making the claim technically deceptive.

Charlie Woods is on pace to win 40 majors

Charlie Woods just won a tournament. Charlie won a tournament... right now he's on pace to win 40 Majors, which is pretty incredible.

Highly unlikely to be correct given Tiger himself has 15, and Charlie is still a teenager.

Tyreek Hill will become a porn star after he retires from the NFL

Tyreek Hill... came out today and said that when he retires he wants to just kind of get outta the limelight and enjoys retirement in peace and also be a porn star. I would watch.

Hill did make these comments on a stream, though whether he actually follows through remains to be seen.

Alabama will win the SEC West and recover from their early season struggles

Alabama, we buried Alabama. Unfortunately for us, we didn't look at the schedule because they are gonna win the SEC west... now that they've decided on Jalen Milroe as their quarterback and they're actually building an offense around him running plays that work for him, I think that's gonna help them going forward.

Alabama did win the SEC West and defeated Georgia in the SEC Championship game.

Texas is a legitimate National Title contender because of their improved line play

Texas... I think they're very good now. I think they're legitimate college football playoff legit. The difference with Texas this year versus Texas really since 2009 is there are legitimate NFL players on both sides of the line of scrimmage... they've developed them and these dudes can play.

Texas won the Big 12 and made their first College Football Playoff appearance in 2023.

Miami is 'back' as a 10-win caliber team this year

Miami... Mario Cristobal was singing the praises [of his O-line]. And then you saw 'em against A&M and they protected Tyler Van Dyke very well... I'm thinking maybe Miami's pretty good. I don't think they're that team [from last year] anymore.

Miami finished the 2023 season 7-6, failing to reach the 10-win benchmark Staples was hinting at.

Caleb Williams is the most 'can't-miss' QB prospect since Andrew Luck

Caleb Williams is the most can't miss since Trevor Lawrence or Andrew Luck... Because the man makes magic. Mahomes-esque. Very, very similar. Different arm angles that sort of thing.

Williams was selected #1 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, validating the 'can't miss' status as a prospect.

The old Patriots lighthouse was completely forgettable

I mean, ooh, I don't know. I was so busy trying not to mess up anything back there... Little did I know, it's just kind of an NFL thing... no, I can't think of [the lighthouse] off the top of my head.

This is a subjective personal experience from a former player.
