Christmas Day is the official start of the NBA season

People start caring about the NBA on Christmas Day. That is the official start of the season. They should just start it at that point and then move on from there because, yeah, football, we own the fall.

The NBA season literally starts in October, but culturally, Christmas is the major TV launch point for many fans.

Imagine Dragons will definitely have a featured song for the 2019 college football season

On Saturday night, Imagine Dragons is going to hit, and it's going to feel so damn good. I assume that Imagine Dragons has a song for this college football season. Because if they don't, then... that's actually more of a pressing issue than climate change.

Imagine Dragons' songs like 'Natural' and others were heavily used in ESPN promos around this era, though Judah & the Lion's 'Over My Head' was the primary 2019 anthem.

Manny Diaz is the perfect coach to bring Miami back because he is slightly shady

Manny Diaz is the perfect type of Miami coach where he walked in the door and was like, I'm bringing the U back. And then immediately started doing shit that pissed everyone off and was slightly shady. Manny Diaz had that boat party... He's doing the things that brings Miami back, so I'm all in on Manny Diaz.

Manny Diaz was fired after three seasons with a 21-15 record, failing to actually bring Miami back to national prominence.

The Turnover Chain is officially dead because Paul Chryst mocked it

I mean, the turnover chain. Paul Chryst killed it... Real swag is no swag. And he said, 'Turnover chain my ass.' I think when the Wisconsin head coach... says turnover chain my ass, it's over. And they tried it last year and it was weird and awkward. So I think it's over.

The turnover chain persisted for a few more seasons until Mario Cristobal officially retired it in 2022, but its 'cool factor' peaked in 2017/2018 as Big Cat noted.

The Chiefs-Rams Trent McDuffy trade is the first true win-win trade in NFL history

I think the only win-win trade in the history of the NFL might be the McDuffy trade. The one that just happened. Where the the Chiefs traded McDuffy to the Rams. The Rams don't give a fuck about first round picks. They got a great player and they still have their better first round pick from the Falcons. That to me is the first win-win trade in the history of the NFL.

Subjective assessment of trade value over time.

The Rams have proven that first-round draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter

Are the Rams doing it correctly? Not that draft picks don't matter. Draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter as much... instead of taking risks on a bunch of 21 year olds, let's get the known commodity knowing it's a crapshoot and just keep punting that down the line being like, we don't care.

This is a subjective organizational philosophy that has yielded mixed results for other teams, though the Rams have remained competitive.

Alec Pierce is about to get a massive contract in free agency

I think Alec Pierce is about to get paid too. I think the market on Alec Pierce is gonna be crazy. Possible Patriot. Possible Commander.

Pierce remained on his rookie contract through 2024; he did not hit free agency or get a 'crazy' bag in 2025.
