Hard Knocks stinks

Hard Knocks stinks. There's nothing that can turn around a bad episode of Hard Knocks like watching it with a cool dog... The ending was, I had to like check myself because they had the dramatic rainstorm and Liev Schreiber was doing some unbelievable speech, and then I was like, wait, they lost in a preseason game to the Cardinals by three points. What are we doing here?

Subjective opinion on entertainment value.

Dak Prescott is probably going to miss the whole year with his shoulder injury

They can't show it [on Hard Knocks] because they don't want to tell us that [Dak Prescott's] shoulder's fucked up and he's probably going to miss the whole year.

Dak Prescott did not miss the whole year; he played 16 regular season games in 2021.

John Mara is the driving force behind the NFL's new 'anti-fun' taunting penalty

Co-owner John Mara was the driving force behind the new taunting penalty in the NFL... It's honestly stupid... Mr. Mara, he is the man. He is the machine that needs to be raged against. He looks like when you die, if you still have a boss, that's what he looks like.

It was widely reported that John Mara was a key member of the Competition Committee that pushed for the taunting point of emphasis.

The Tim Tebow tight end experiment was a farce and he sucked

My hot seat is anyone who likes Tim Tebow because he got cut and the farce of Tim Tebow actually trying out for the Jacksonville Jaguars and being a tight end... I'm just sick of Tim Tebow, especially the fact that he was asked to be a tight end like 10 years ago when he was still in the NFL said no. And now he tried again and he sucked.

Tebow was indeed cut after showing very little promise in the preseason as a tight end.

NFL jerseys will eventually have advertising patches like the NBA and NHL

The NHL, like the NBA, is adding advertising to the front of the jerseys in 2022. I feel like it's inevitable for NFL.

While not yet on game jerseys, NFL teams already have sponsor patches on practice jerseys, and league momentum suggests it is pending.

Special defenses are led by the defensive line setting the tone

One thing I will say is that each one of those teams [85 Bears, 06 Bears, current WFT]... it started with the defensive line setting the tone for the defense more so than anything else... When you look at those guys that were up front, there was something about those guys that set the tone and the tempo for who we were going to be as a football team.

Subjective coaching philosophy.

A defense that makes big plays at the right time will win the Super Bowl

A defense that can make plays at the right time will win the Super Bowl.

General football philosophy that is largely supported by historical outcomes.

Downfield laterals are the next revolution in football

Design downfield laterals... a receiver catches the ball, have a guy trailing them... that's going to be a chunk play every time. That's going to be the next revolution in football... it's the future of football.

While some teams have used more laterals (like the Travis Kelce lateral), it has not become a widespread 'revolution'.

Larry the Goldfish is officially admitted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame archives

We can certainly put him in the archives... we will take good care of it. Preserve it... he will be included in the archives of the Hall of Fame.

David Baker made this commitment on air and Larry 2's betting record was indeed sent to the archives.
