I will get Bill Belichick to interview on the Pardon My Take podcast.

I'll work on that now. Right now. The football offseason. Yes. Right now we will go right now. It's gonna be, it would be the start of Grit Week. It would be incredible.

Bill Belichick would win a PLL title within three seasons if he coached

I feel like [Bill Belichick] would win in the first three seasons of coaching [in the PLL], if not sooner. I mean, I don't think he really coaches football. He just coaches human beings... I think he understands the nuance of sports and blueprint of winning better than anyone... you listen to Bill Belichick coach you on lacrosse and you're bought in.

The PLL will be a top six sport in North America within five years

The PLL will be a top six sport in North America. There's just so many... it's competitive now. I used to say like, we're always talking to the big four, but it'll be the top six... Someone's got to go. We're probably seven or eight [currently].

I am retiring from professional lacrosse very soon

how long how much longer are you gonna play for real? Not much longer. Really? Yeah. I'm 35... I get checked now, and I have bruises that last for weeks. So it's actually going to... My hips crack in the morning, my knees crack.

The Washington Redskins should change their name

I'm especially scarred over the last two decades of Daniel Snyder's ownership of the Washington Redskins. I think the Washington Redskins should change their name.

The tour-based model is the best way for a niche sport like lacrosse to make a national impact

We're tour-based. ... When you're a smaller sport like lacrosse, we needed to capitalize on the players, on venues and distribution. ... If we were to label cities to them, that we would just be really local and we wouldn't be able to capitalize on this national growth. ... Some fan in San Francisco and New York can just pick their allegiance.
