The NFL should not change playoff seeding to be strictly based on record

They are proposing to do playoff seating one through seven strictly based on record... I hate this. ... the division winner should get a home playoff game, that should be it. ... I'm just scared that once... the NFL will do is change everything so that more people watch.

The proposal was not adopted for the 2024 season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will win the NBA title

Today is Wednesday, May 21st and the Oklahoma City Thunder are going to win the NBA title. ... Oklahoma City's defense is very fucking good. They're elite. Yes. They pack the paint so well. They make you take threes. ... I think they're the best team.

The Thunder did not win the NBA title in 2024 (Mavs beat them) or 2025.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the number one foul-baiter in the NBA

It pisses me off watching [SGA] play. ... I have to watch the foul baiting like three times in a row where I have to see the same non foul three times. ... [SGA] is the number one fator and he's so good. ... he has taken the mantle from James Harden.

This is a subjective opinion on playing style and foul-drawing frequency.

The ESPN announcing booth of Richard Jefferson and Doris Burke lacks aura and does not suit big playoff games

The booth, the Richard Jefferson, Doris Burke that there's not a lot of Aura. I'm sorry. ... I'm smashing the Aura button on everything now but I'm smashing it there. It don't, we like RJ, I like Doris Burke as a team. It just doesn't feel big game ish. It just, I don't know. It's like, but let Mike Breen just do it himself. It just didn't feel something was off.

The 'feel' or 'aura' of an announcing booth is a subjective viewer experience.

The Ravens are abandoning their draft-and-develop philosophy because they've drafted poorly lately

The Ravens feel like the team for however long, I mean, pretty much their entire history, it's like what they do is they draft really well. They don't have to do these type of moves. And then they do this move... maybe the Ravens haven't drafted as well recently. So now they do have to join everyone else and be these guys.

Subjective analysis of team building strategy.

The Ravens have a three-to-four-year window with Lamar Jackson to go all in and win a Super Bowl

Are the Ravens basically saying Lamar Jackson, he's 29, he's got, we got like a three, four year window where we're gonna have to go all in here? You're kind of forking the road. Are you trying to keep your draft capital to keep reloading around Lamar Jackson? You're like, 'Hey, let's go win this right now.'

The Ravens' success in this window depends on winning a Super Bowl before Lamar Jackson hits his 30s.

The NFL center market is currently the hottest position market in the world

The center market actually feels like it's the hottest market out there. The Packers signed their center who started seven games signed for 11 million a year. The center market just might be the hottest market in the world.

While 'hottest in the world' is hyperbolic, the sentiment reflects the actual 2026 free agency center market trends.
