Bill Belichick might opt out of the 2020 season to sabotage Josh McDaniels and tank for Trevor Lawrence

My big-time stay woke on this is that Bill Belichick, he might opt out if coaches can opt out... he's got so many players on defense that are out, right? If Bill Belichick opts out McDaniels probably takes over, right? They go 4-12. All of a sudden no one wants to sign Josh McDaniels to a head coaching contract next year. He keeps the team together maybe gets Trevor Lawrence.

Belichick did not opt out of the 2020 season, and the Patriots finished 7-9, missing out on Trevor Lawrence.

There are more teams 'nobody wants to play' in the NBA playoffs this year than ever before

Right now off the top my head. There are more teams that nobody wants to play in the playoffs in the NBA at this point than there have ever been... No one wants to play Toronto in the playoffs. No one wants to play the Heat in the playoffs. No one wants to play Oklahoma City... No one wants to play the Rockets.

While subjective, the 2020 playoffs saw the 5th-seed Heat reach the Finals, supporting the 'dangerous lower seeds' narrative.

Philip Rivers is definitely a Hall of Fame player

I miss tilt on man. He's he's a stud and I mean he was just very underrated to me. I mean he is just I think he's all the same player and you know, everybody wants to debate that but I think he is I mean, he's a stud and just the things that he does in the background that I got to see just firsthand.

Philip Rivers was not in the 2026 HOF class. His case remains unresolved.

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.
