The NFL should allow all players to smoke marijuana

I enjoy marijuana a lot... I think it's made my life exponentially better... the NFL should let all their players smoke... because there's such a high percentage... there is actual medical relief for it. I think the NFL will get over it.

The NFL significantly loosened its marijuana policy in the 2020 CBA, no longer suspending players for positive tests.

The internet is a 'hustler's paradise' for content creators

It's a hustler's paradise in the content world. And it really becomes like the forefront of your mind for everything. So it's like it never stops.

Subjective view of the digital media industry.

The term 'amateurism' is a made-up concept used by the NCAA to exploit athletes

Every single year, we would have the NCAA meeting... they would always use this word amateurism, the word that they created, and then they'd lock it down on it. Like... Well, you can't affect your amateurism status. Like, motherfucker, you made up that word.

The Supreme Court and subsequent rule changes have largely validated the idea that the NCAA's amateurism model was legally and practically flawed.

I will hit a home run (or at least reach the warning track) in my professional baseball debut

I plan on hitting a home run. ... I'll hit one at least at a warning track. ... I'll go $10,000 to a charity if I don't get one.

McAfee played for the Wild Things on June 22, 2018. He went 0-3 with two strikeouts and did not hit a ball to the warning track.

I do not miss football even one percent

Do you miss football at all? No, not even one percent. No. So I very much flipped the switch into not being in the football schedule right? I very much fell out of love with the schedule of being an NFL player.

Pat never returned to the NFL and built a massive media empire, supporting the idea that he truly didn't miss the grind.

Trent Richardson was not a good NFL player and only got drafted for his speed

Trent Richardson. Oh, that's two first-rounders. People don't know that. He's worth two first-rounders. Future Hall of Famer. Yeah, future Hall of Famer... He zigged every fucking time. Just a zag one time would have been nice for us.

OpinionFootballHotSarcastic
Richardson is widely considered one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history, and his stint with the Colts was particularly poor.

Indianapolis is the true 'Barstool America' because it's stereotypical heartland

We Oxford Dictionary-ed what America is. Stereotypically American was the answer, and I said, well, I think that's more like everything I do in my life... I'm all about the heartland here. And even New York City, boy, has grown on me... but when I got here, I really thought I was in foreign land.

McAfee spent years building the 'Heartland' brand in Indy before going independent and eventually to ESPN.

Buffalo Wild Wings is making a comeback with larger wings

Their wings got bad there for a little while. They're coming back, though. The wings are good. They got bigger wings.

BWW went through various quality control initiatives after being acquired by Inspire Brands in 2018.

I don't like Jay Feeley and think he's the worst

I don't like Jay Feeley. I don't like Jay Feeley... I hated him before he got on TV and sounded awful... [He] comes in and goes, 'tough kick here.' Okay, thanks, Jay. 'Yeah, looks like a little wind.' Yeah, way to go, Jay.

This is a personal opinion about a colleague's personality and broadcasting ability.

Andrew Luck apologizing to defenders is a mind game

He says, like, 'good hit.' I think it's a mind game. Keep him friendly. That's what I try to do... Try to keep on the good side. But Andrew's at that point where I need to do that. Andrew doesn't need to do that... Gotta be the only guy in the league that does it.

Andrew Luck's politeness was well-documented by many players, though whether it was a deliberate 'mind game' remains subjective.

Chris Boswell's failed onside kick was an attempt to become a meme

They were doing it to become a meme instead of winning a football game. Bang. Maybe that's the thought. I don't know why you would do it. I don't know why else you would do it... I attempted it a couple of days in practice and thought I'd throw my ACL.

Boswell's kick failed miserably, but his intent (meme vs. strategy) is a matter of interpretation.

I only got a college scholarship because I won $1,400 in an underground poker game

I went to this underground game in Pittsburgh. I borrowed 100 bucks from one of my friends... I had jack nine... I caught a full house... I end up having $1,400. My dad spots me the other $100. I go down to the camp. I kick a 65-yard field goal... Tony Gibson from West Virginia University is there. 'You want a scholarship to West Virginia?'... without that tournament happening, [I have] no chance.

This is a well-documented story from McAfee's life that he has told many times.

Indianapolis is a test ground for most chain restaurants

Indianapolis is actually a test ground for most chain restaurants. Literally everything is there, except for In-N-Out.

Indianapolis is a well-documented test market for fast food and chain restaurants due to its demographic representation of the US.

Buffalo Wild Wings' wings are finally getting good again

Their wings got bad there for a little while. They're coming back, though. The wings are good. They got bigger wings.

Food quality is subjective.
