Bet on rookie head coaches in the first week of the NFL preseason

Week one, it was pretty strong. You just bet on whatever coach, if it's a matchup between a rookie head coach and a coach that's been in the league before you bet on the rookie head coach to win. Because I think somewhere deep down, they would prefer to win their very first game that they play.

While not a hard rule, rookie coaches often play starters longer or try harder to get their first win in preseason. In 2022, many rookie head coaches (like Kevin O'Connell, Mike McDaniel) performed well in preseason debuts.

The Ravens are the best preseason football team ever

Bet on the Ravens because Ravens are the best team to ever play preseason football. They're incredible.

At the time, the Ravens had won 21 consecutive preseason games. The streak eventually reached 24 before ending in 2023.

Lamar Jackson's 18-pound muscle gain will make him slower

You see Lamar Jackson added 18 pounds of muscle... I feel like he's not gonna be as quick... He looks thicker. I just can't imagine gaining 18 pounds of muscle. Like you can't tell me he's going to be as fast. He has to lose at least a little bit of quickness.

Lamar Jackson remained one of the fastest players in the league and won another MVP in 2023. His quickness did not noticeably suffer from the bulk.

The Steelers have the best three-deep quarterback room in the NFL

I actually think that if you were like, who's got the best three quarterbacks, I think the Steelers are the answer. Rudolph, Trubisky, and Pickett. Like I think if you had to go three deep, I think the Steelers are the answer.

While they had three 'starters' (all mediocre), Trubisky and Pickett both struggled significantly. Rudolph eventually saved their season in 2023, but collectively this room was considered bottom-tier in terms of winning ability despite the names.

Boxers and porn stars never actually retire

Boxers in porn stars never really retire. They always say they do. They're always ready for one more. It just always, you know what I mean? You'll see. You just be like, no, no, if you're there's one more you just age into becoming a MILF.

Tyson Fury famously retired and unretired multiple times after this. Most legendary boxers (Mayweather, Tyson) also take exhibition bouts long after their prime.

Kentucky is definitively a basketball school, regardless of football's success

What John Calipari said is not incorrect. He just shouldn't say it out loud. They are a basketball school. Like you can't change that. This would be saying like if Notre Dame basketball won a national championship, they wouldn't be a basketball school. No offense to the football program, Kentucky. When you think Kentucky, you think basketball, that's just a fact.

Kentucky's identity remains deeply tied to its blue-blood basketball status. Even with Mark Stoops' successful football seasons, the school's primary brand is basketball.

Grit is doing what you are supposed to do better than anyone else on the planet

Grit is doing what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it the way you're supposed to do it and do it fucking better than anybody else on the planet.

This is a personal philosophy/definition and cannot be proven true or false.

Special teams is the ultimate transitional football play

Special teams is some degree gets a bad rap. It's really the ultimate football play. You take the punt play to me it's the most transitional play in all the football. You have the ball, so you have to protect the punter. And then next thing you transition into a defensive player.

This is a strategic observation by a professional coach about the mechanics of the game.

Kicking a field goal down 8 points in the NFC Championship was a terrible idea

Kicking a field goal down eight with two minutes left and the best quarterback of all time on the opposing team in the NFC championship game. Yes. That would be a bad idea. Mathematically and spiritually also just bad vibes from that decision. My goal is to never, ever let that go.

Analytics and public opinion largely sided with Big Cat; taking the ball out of Aaron Rodgers' hands while trailing by 8 was widely criticized as a mistake.

Not pulling out is a bad idea

Not pulling out. He's saying not pulling out when you were supposed to pull out. [Big Cat: You're against cream pies?] Billy Football, anti-cream pie.

As a method of birth control, 'not pulling out' without protection is objectively a 'bad idea' if the goal is to avoid pregnancy.
