The NFL's new roughing the passer rules make it harder for defensive players to tackle running quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes

I actually think that a little hot take, but the new rules with hitting quarterbacks makes it harder for defensive players to fully go at a quarterback. It felt like guys wanted to tackle him, but it also felt like if they went too hard they would get a penalty. You very rarely get a clean shot on a quarterback in the open field and they missed it.

While subjective, many analysts and players have echoed the sentiment that defender hesitation helps mobile QBs in the open field.

Winning Super Bowl 54 will completely change Andy Reid's coaching legacy

Andy Reid is in that classic situation where his legacy, if he wins a Super Bowl, will change so dramatically. He's been such a good coach for so long... but that one Super Bowl win will take him from a great coach to one of the best. This is a legacy game for Andy Reid.

Andy Reid won the Super Bowl two weeks later, and his legacy is now universally viewed as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, confirmed by subsequent Super Bowl wins.

Sports teams that wear the color red are statistically more dominant across all professional leagues

I read a study 15 years ago... that teams that wear the color red are dominant if you look across all sports professionally. There's like a small bit of darwinian or evolutionary trait being bright red gives you as a show of dominance.

The Chiefs (red) won Super Bowl 54, and the Chiefs (red) would go on to win three Super Bowls in five years. However, the study's scientific validity in team sports is highly contested.

I am officially worried about Aaron Rodgers' mental health and engagement after the NFC Championship loss

I'm officially worried about [Aaron Rodgers'] mental health. He looked disinterested, disengaged... he just looked like somebody that has been fucking Brett Favre for a while, just like a completely blank look on his face. He was just not impressed, not happy to even be there.

Rodgers returned to MVP-caliber form the following two seasons, winning the award in 2020 and 2021, proving he was still highly engaged and effective.

The Packers roster is just an average quarterback away from being a Super Bowl contender

The Packers roster, here's a nice Spin Zone for Packer fans: the Packers roster is an average quarterback away from being a Super Bowl contender. I think if they had benched Aaron Rodgers at halftime... that was the way to go, get a spark in there.

Aaron Rodgers won the NFL MVP award in 2020 and 2021, proving he was far from just 'average'.

In the NFL postseason, running the ball doesn't matter in the AFC, but it is essential in the NFC

What we've truly learned from this sample size, I think it's big enough: in the AFC, running football doesn't work. In the NFC, you need to be able to run the football and it doesn't matter if you're able to pass. Running backs that run for over 200 yards with four touchdowns, their team wins 100% of the time.

The 2021 AFC Champions (Bengals) and the 2022 AFC Champions (Chiefs) both relied heavily on passing, while teams like the 49ers continued to dominate the NFC via the run, giving some spiritual validity to the take, though it's not a hard rule.

If you are a man with a fat face, you must have high-volume hair to distract people from your cheeks

If you're a bigger guy, you need to have your hair have as much volume as possible to hide the fact that you have a fat face. When you put on a hat, it always makes your face look fatter. All the focus goes to your fat fucking cheeks. So you need to have hair, just crazy hair, to take away. Hair and beard are a fat guy's best friend.

This is subjective grooming and fashion advice.
