Bill Belichick broke Sean McVay's brain and provided the blueprint for the rest of the NFL

I think the correct way to approach this narrative is, did Bill Belichick break Sean McVay's brain? The books, right now, there's a blueprint out there. This is Copycat League, okay? ... The defenses have caught up to Sean McVay's brain.

The Rams offense fell from 2nd in points in 2018 to 11th in 2019, and they missed the playoffs entirely that season, suggesting teams had indeed found ways to slow them down.

I'm staying off social media to avoid cause trouble and responding to chirps

I decided this year, you know what, I'm not going to cause that much trouble on social media. ... I won't be responding [to Trevor Bauer] anymore.

Bregman did mostly stay quiet until the scandal broke in November 2019, at which point he became the center of a massive social media storm regardless of his own posting habits.

The St. Louis Cardinals are going to win games in 'stupid ways' all through October

I have a bad feeling that the fucking Cardinals are just going to do this shit all October long. ... And just do it in stupid ways and just like come back. I know. I've seen this before.

The Cardinals did win the NLDS in dramatic fashion (including a 10-run first inning in Game 5) but were swept by the Nationals in the NLCS.

The Chicago Cubs' championship window is still open

The window's open. As long as Javi Baez and Kris Bryant are on the team and Anthony Rizzo, the window's open.

The core of Baez, Bryant, and Rizzo was traded away in 2021, and the Cubs failed to reach another World Series or even win another playoff game after this take.

Arm length doesn't matter for a tackle as long as the quarterback doesn't have tiny hands

Arm length doesn't always dictate everything. If you have a guy that's got short arms that's playing tackle, it's not the end of the world unless maybe you also have a quarterback with tiny hands, in which case it's like synergy factors. Right. Where if the guy with short arms can't block the guy and then the guy with tiny hands gets hit, more likely to fumble.

Whether specific arm length correlates to fumbles based on QB hand size is largely theoretical and difficult to prove or disprove.

You should never order appetizers at a steakhouse to maximize your sides

I'm of the mindset now that you don't need any appetizers at steakhouses. It's, it's a good place to run Zero apps... You don't need the calamari at a steakhouse... The sides at a steakhouse are elite. The mashed potatoes are always elite... mac and cheese always elite at a steakhouse, you wanna maximize your sides to go with a steak.

This is entirely a matter of personal dining preference.

Trent Williams is the rare offensive lineman who is actually fun to watch play

Trent Williams is a joy to have on your team. He's just a fucking bully. He's also the rare offensive lineman where you have fun watching him play. Like after the ball was snapped, my eyes would just go to Trent Williams because it's like this guy, we might throw an interception, but Trent Williams might punch a guy in the throat.

This is a subjective opinion about entertainment value.
