The 2018 Bears defense is statistically better in every category than the 1985 Bears

What I found was this team [2018 Bears] is statistically better in every single defensive category than the 1985 Chicago Bears. This is the best defensive team that Chicago has ever seen. They're going to steamroll the 49ers.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
The 1985 Bears defense remains statistically superior in almost every major metric, including points allowed (12.4 vs 17.7), yards allowed, and takeaways (54 vs 36).

No one's going to beat Duke this year

Duke is still undefeated and they win against Texas Tech at Madison Square Garden. No one's going to beat Duke this year.

Duke lost multiple games later in the season to Syracuse, North Carolina (twice), and Virginia Tech, and ultimately lost in the Elite Eight to Michigan State.

College basketball's five-foul rule is bullshit

He's saying the five fouls are bullshit. Well, guess what? It is. Fix it. Yeah, it is bullshit. It makes the game way less enjoyable to see a star player get subbed out in the first half after like 10 minutes.

This is a subjective opinion on game rules.

Losing Josh Gordon makes the Patriots focus more and gives them a playoff advantage

Luckily, they— Everyone's saying that [they're done]. So it's basically they just have to dig deep, worry about coaching, and worry about fundamentals, which is where they have the advantage over every other team. And so losing Josh Gordon and knowing that Gronk might not be healthy, it's like, all right, everyone has to focus extra and then execute in the playoffs.

The Patriots went on to win Super Bowl LIII after this suspension, proving that the team was indeed capable of winning without Gordon.

The Ravens are using Maxx Crosby's failed physical as a convenient excuse to back out of the trade

Either one, [the Ravens] really trust the doctor to believe them on that or two, it's bullshit and it's made up and they're secretly planning a different move and they're using the physical as an excuse to get out of it.

The trade was indeed rescinded, but whether the 'physical failed' was a legitimate medical concern or a front for buyer's remorse remains a matter of speculation.

The Raiders' short statement indicates Mark Davis is furious about the rescinded trade

The statement that the Raiders put out said a lot, which is just like 'they backed out of the trade. We have no further comment.' That to me sounds like a pissed off Mark Davis.

This is an interpretation of tone and cannot be objectively proven true or false.

The NFL's two-day 'legal tampering' window is a dangerous gift for GMs with buyer's remorse

This two day period is so weird because something like this can happen and then nothing that has been reported over the last day actually has to happen. Right. Nothing's final yet.

This accurately describes the mechanics of the legal tampering period.
