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.

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.

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.

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

Tua Tagovailoa's market value is non-existent relative to his contract

Everything's on the table for the Dolphins. Tua could be a fullback. What would you... What do you think the Dolphins would say yes to for a trade for Tua? Like a sixth round pick for Tua? A jugs machine? I don't know what the hell would Tua's market be?

The Dolphins' internal view on 'everything being on the table' is a subjective claim about team strategy.
