There will be sports played in some format this summer

I think that there it sounds more and more like there will be Sports at some point this summer. We don't know what that formats going to look like. We don't know if there will be fans.

MLB, the NBA bubble, and the NHL return-to-play all occurred in July and August of 2020.

Calvin Johnson is a better receiver at his peak than Terrell Owens and Marvin Harrison

I think [Calvin Johnson] is a better receiver at his Peak then T.O. and Marvin are. If you look at it has a higher yards per reception than everyone else that I just listed. He also has the the greatest receiving season in 122 receptions 1964 yards, and he was playing on the Lions.

This is a subjective evaluation of talent vs. career statistics.

Randy Moss is the best receiver in the history of the NFL

Randy Moss is the is the best receiver in the history of the NFL, Correct? I don't care what he did to [the] caterer in the barbecue... he was also the greatest wide receiver all time.

Moss is widely considered the most talented, though Jerry Rice holds all meaningful records.

Fans will hate watching sports with no crowds after just two days

Two days into baseball and stadiums... with no fans in the stands and guys sitting like eight seats apart in the bleachers people going to go like this blows. I don't like this everyone hates everything. No one's gonna like it.

While people missed crowds, the return of sports was largely celebrated as a distraction, rather than universally hated after two days.

The virtual NFL Draft is a recipe for disaster and will be hacked

The idea of the NFL going 'Hey, we're going to do virtual draft' which by the way, that's it. That's the recipe for disaster. Oh, yeah people people are a thousand percent going to hack it and you're going to be like Andy Reid's going to be on an iPad trying to figure out what's going on in someone's going to send him a porn link or something.

The 2020 NFL Draft went off with almost zero technical glitches or security breaches.

Maryland would have made a Final Four run in the 2020 tournament

I do honestly believe that [Maryland] were one of those 15 20 teams that could have made a final four run... you're probably always going to think the most positive outcome was what would have happened because who sits around goes, 'you know, we probably lost to Akron in the first round.'

The 2020 NCAA Tournament was cancelled; the outcome is unknowable.

The Redskins should take Tua Tagovailoa over Chase Young if they want a franchise QB

I'm started talked myself into Tua because I think that he has a better chance of being a great great quarterback than Dwayne [Haskins] does... If you need a quarterback, which you do, I think you kind of have to bite the bullet and take Tua.

The Redskins took Chase Young. Tua has significantly outperformed both Young and Haskins in the NFL.

Vincent Chase is a terrible TV character

I think Vincent Chase is a fucking terrible character. Vinnie Chase. I hate Vinnie Chase... What does Vinnie Chase do that's memorable besides make stupid decisions, box smoke shows, and hang out and smoke weed?
