James Dolan staged the handshake with Spike Lee to create propaganda for the Knicks

I wouldn't put it past James Dolan. I would not at all this happens at all the time in spy movies and TV shows where you send somebody up to get long-distance snapshot of right looking like something inappropriate is happening and boom. You've got the propaganda right there.

While never proven as a 'staged spy operation', Spike Lee himself claimed the photo was a misleading attempt by Dolan to save face, making PFT's analysis of the PR tactic quite accurate to the situation's optics.

Coach K is entering the Twilight phase of his career where he has no filter and is mad at everyone

I think we're going to get into very soon, if we're not there already like the ornery like super angry at the media, just mad all the time coach Casey Nile... I think I'm going to enjoy the Twilight phase of Coach K having no filter and finally saying shit that he really has wanted to say for a very long time.

Coach K did become increasingly prickly with the media and student journalists toward the end of his career (e.g., the 'look up at the banners' comment and the 2021 incident with a student reporter), confirming Big Cat's observation.

I refuse to consider the possibility of Tom Brady leaving the Patriots until it actually happens

I don't want to think about living in a world where Tom Brady isn't on the Patriots. I'm not going to consider it a possibility until it becomes a reality. So that is my official stance.

Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just weeks later on March 20, 2020, making Hank's refusal to consider it a 'reality' a failed strategy of denial.

Bruce Arians is a 'Rhino Hunter' who loves signing old, veteran quarterbacks

Bruce Arians did say he prescribes to analytics... and he does like older quarterbacks. So he's kind of like a cougar hunter... Bruce Arians is definitely a rhino Hunter. Yes, because he liked Carson Palmer, loved Peyton Manning. He likes these old guys.

Arians did indeed sign Tom Brady shortly after this, and previously had success with Carson Palmer in Arizona, supporting the 'Rhino Hunter' theory.

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.
