Professional and collegiate sports leagues got addicted to 'cancel culture' during the initial COVID-19 outbreak

I think they got addicted to cancel culture. It just felt very rash to be like everything's canceled forever. I would have almost rather they did just we're going to delay it two weeks and then two weeks later we're going to delay another two weeks until I get to football season. Let us just me asking it throughout the entire summer and give me the hope.

While initially appearing rash to a sports fan, the shutdowns were medically necessary as the pandemic worsened significantly throughout 2020.

I still do not respect the Coronavirus

I still don't respect the virus. It's like a Ravens Steelers thing, like no love lost. I hate it so much. I want to beat the fuck out of it. It doesn't sound serious and I'm encouraging everybody to do everything that they can... but I still don't respect the virus.

The virus did indeed cause a global pandemic, proving it was a formidable 'opponent' regardless of his personal lack of respect.

Sports will return to American soil by mid-May 2020, likely starting with the XFL

The date would be mid-May, early May. I think that Vince McMahon did not want to cancel either the XFL or wrestling WrestleMania because you know how Vince feels about people sneezing in general, right? He doesn't believe in illness. So he was definitely like, let's keep this pump going for as long as we can. I think that he's gonna want to play the semifinals and the championship game in the XFL.

The XFL officially cancelled the remainder of its season on March 20, 2020, and filed for bankruptcy shortly after. Major sports did not return until July 2020.

The DC Defenders are the official XFL East champions

I'm still absolutely claiming the XFL East for the DC Defenders. First place in the XFL East.

The XFL did not officially crown champions for the 2020 season, though the Defenders were 3-2 and tied for first in the East at the time of cancellation.

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.
