The NFL has the weakest union and contracts because players don't view themselves as businessmen

I think the big issue with people in the NFL in general is that they don't view themselves and we don't view each other as businessmen. And the NFL doesn't view us like businessmen. I think this is why the NFL has the weakest union and the weakest contracts of all major sports is because of how we're viewed and how we view ourselves.

Subjective assessment of union strength, though widely agreed upon by sports labor experts that the NFLPA has historically had less leverage than the NBPA or MLBPA.

Andrew Luck is the heir apparent to Eli Manning as the 'dumb quarterback face' of the NFL

Andrew Luck is going to be the new dumb quarterback face. Eli Manning retired after the 2016 season—we've had that hole in the entire NFL. Where is the Eli Manning face? Where is the dumb quarterback face? Andrew Luck, he is the dumb quarterback face. I think he's a very good quarterback... but he does have a dumb face and it shows up in the worst times when he plays football.

Eli Manning didn't actually retire until after the 2019 season, and Andrew Luck retired suddenly before the 2019 season, cutting this 'mantle' short. Luck's 'General Luck' persona and expressions did become a mainstay until his exit.

Sam Darnold has the 'large palette' face needed to potentially become the NFL's next 'dumb quarterback face' elite

I think that Sam Darnold might develop into something like this just because he's got the bigger face, so he has a larger palette to work with.

Darnold has certainly provided many 'ghosts' and awkward facial expressions over his career, though he hasn't quite reached the Eli Manning level of iconic 'dumb face'.

Jameis Winston is a prime candidate to take over the 'Eli Manning mantle' for the funniest quarterback faces

Absolutely, Jameis. 100% Jameis. If he could get just a little bit better at quarterback and play a few more prime times, he absolutely could be that like Eli Manning mantle face.

Winston's 'Eat a W' and various sideline antics have made him a mainstay for NFL memes and funny broadcast cuts.

Never name a dog after a sports figure who hasn't already secured a Hall of Fame legacy

Never name your dogs after sports figures that aren't Hall of Famers... maybe don't name him after a player unless he's been at least two or three All-Star games. That's a good little rule of thumb.

This is subjective life/pet-ownership advice.

The Squatty Potty is the medically superior way to defecate because of human evolution

I got it, bro. I got it. Okay. This is not a plug, but a Squatty potty... We sit regular, right? And that messes up our bowel movements. Right? So if he's leaning for a while... it could be coming out the wrong angle, but the Squatty potty lifts your knees to your chest. And the angles is downward. That's how we evolved to actually defecate.

Medical research generally supports that squatting straightens the anorectal angle, aiding bowel movements.

Michael Jordan was suspended for gambling in 1993 and the league kept it under wraps

The reason why he retired originally in 93 was because he got suspended for gambling... I heard how this conspiracy goes is that they actually suspended him, but they just kept it under wraps because it would have been bad for the league.

This is a historical conspiracy theory that has never been verified and was denied by Michael Jordan and David Stern.
