The Browns proved they are committed to a championship by paying Myles Garrett a massive contract

I think they [the Browns] just show that they are committed to winning. Yeah. They're, the Brown's football organization is one that is, they're putting their best foot forward trying to deliver championship in Miles Garrett said, you know what? Now I believe you. Yeah, I I think that we're actually gonna gonna do it. And step number one towards committing to a championship is to pay Miles Garrett a shitload of money.

The Browns signed him to a record deal as stated in the transcript, but whether this leads to a championship is a matter of opinion.

Whoever signs the largest contract in the NFL should get seven days to wear a crown

I think there should be a new rule that if you sign the biggest contract, whether it be a, the biggest quarterback contract, the biggest non quarterback contract, you should get seven days to wear the crown. Miles Garrett should have had to wait seven days [to take it from Max Crosby].

This is a subjective proposal for a rule change.

The Cowboys and Bengals are the biggest losers of the Myles Garrett contract because it raised the price for edge rushers

The losers in all of this, I would say are the Dallas Cowboys, the Cincinnati Bengals or anyone who's trying to trade for an Edge restaurant has to pay them because the price has gone up. Yeah. Micah Parsons is now gonna take that Crown. Trey Hendrickson, Jamar Chase. Yeah. All these guys. The price just keeps going up and up and up.

Financial experts generally agree that top-of-the-market deals reset the floor for subsequent negotiations.

DK Metcalf and George Pickens on the Steelers is the funniest possible combination of wide receivers

I don't know how the Steelers are gonna manage the DK Metcalf and the George Pickens situation. I'm excited to see how they do it. It's, that's why I wanted this to happen. It's the funniest possible combination of receivers that you could get.

The 'funniness' of a roster combination is purely subjective.

If Jameis Winston signs with the Steelers to throw to Metcalf and Pickens, they will be the featured 'middle TV' game every week

I'm gonna make an executive decision right now and you guys have no choice to follow along. But you could also tell me I'm crazy if James Winston is quarterbacking for the Pittsburgh Steelers and DK Metcalf and George Pickens are on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing every game in the middle TV next year. Yeah. Like that's with sound. Every single game.

This depends on the Steelers signing Jameis Winston and how they are scheduled/watched.

LeBron James' best dad move ever was getting Bronny drafted into the NBA

Lebron is a better father than he is basketball player? Yeah, I think, didn't we we determin that on Friday. Yeah. The fact that he got Bronny drafted. Yeah. No basketball player has ever done that before. But I do think he went up to him [Stephen A. Smith] like Stephen A. Smith played the role afterwards.

The evaluation of his fatherhood vs. basketball skill is inherently subjective.

NC State was right to fire Kevin Keatts because his Final Four run was a fluke

I saw NC State fired their coach off of a Final Four appearance. Everyone was like, how can you do this? Maybe because it was the fluke Final four. No, I mean it was an incredible run. No, nothing to take away from NC State. But if Virginia had fouled up three in the ACC tournament, he would've been fired last year.

Whether a coach's run was a 'fluke' and justifies firing after a Final Four is a subjective sports debate.

The NBA needs a Celtics-Lakers Finals for the ratings

The Lakers were scaring me. They've been, you know, they won eight straight. They were playing really well and it, you know the conspiracy of how does Luca end up in la? The NBA needs a Celtics. Lakers NBA finals for ratings. Yep.

Historically, Lakers-Celtics matchups do generate high ratings, but the 'need' for it is subjective.

Beards are causing baseball injuries because the face is connected to the elbow

My who's back is baseball injuries 'cause Garrett Cole's out for the year... Bad Tommy John. They should never change the rules about shaving your face. Like this, this would not have happened if he was clean shaven. That's true. That's your, your face. Your face is connected to your shoulder, to your elbow.

There is no medical evidence linking facial hair to ulnar collateral ligament tears.

Expanding the NCAA tournament too much will water it down and hurt the TV product in the second round

I worry if they expand it too much. You know, we have already, it's tough because we have Cinderella... the more you expand it, the more those kind of things happen. Which you guys all like the first day, right? But TV doesn't like it the second round. No. So it's always fun and exciting for you guys. And meanwhile I'm sitting home ready to, you know, whatever.

This is a prediction about the quality of a sports product under a new format, which is subjective.
