Winning a Super Bowl is more important than making the Hall of Fame

Super Bowl champion. The Hall of Fame is awesome. It's really cool. But I think at the end of the day, you know if you played good or not. I don't think you necessarily need the justification of wearing it.

Value judgment on career accomplishments.

The Challenge is the fifth best sport in America

If we're talking about non-mainstream sports, that's The Challenge. It's the fifth best sport in all of America.

This is entirely subjective, though by television viewership and cultural footprint, it does not outrank the major four sports or soccer/golf.

Lonzo Ball's terrible shooting mechanics will get stuffed in his face against real NBA competition

We could make [the NBA logo] Lonzo Ball and his terrible shooting mechanics that are going to get stuffed back in his face a million times when he plays real competition, not in the summer league.

While Lonzo struggled initially, he became a 37-40% 3-point shooter with a rebuilt form. He wasn't 'stuffed back in his face' as predicted; he adapted his game successfully.

Colin Kaepernick has a 'Bob Ross thing' going on and the NFL wants a surgeon at quarterback, not an artist

Kaepernick's hair, he's got like a Bob Ross thing going on. The guy that was on Public Access, the painter guy. And if you want to be a quarterback, we don't want an artist, right? We want a surgeon.

This is a subjective stylistic comparison and commentary on NFL culture.

That's the beauty of it. That's why I love the English Premier League because it's relegation, it's promotion, the consequences are so much higher.

Houston is the most underrated food city in the world

Houston is the most underrated food city in possibly the world. Traffic and humidity suck, but for food and fans, Houston is the greatest city.

Highly subjective opinion about culinary quality.

Modern NFL players and trainers are smarter for not lifting heavy weights to avoid the high risk of injury

I do think that players and trainers have gotten a lot smarter about like, you don't need the risk reward for getting up to those levels of weights. It doesn't make any sense because you have a much greater chance of hurting yourself than you do of gaining that 0.01% chance of improvement.

Reflects modern sports science trends.
