Myles Garrett breaking the sack record while being double-teamed and chipped is an 'insane' feat

The degree of difficulty to which [Myles Garrett] is doing that is insane because every team goes into those games saying we can't let him wreck the game. And he still does. They chip him, they slide to him, they put a running back over there... to still get the record with all that against him was incredible.

In the PMT 2026 universe, Myles Garrett broke the sack record in the 2025 season.

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.

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

Arkansas is playing great basketball and John Calipari making the Final Four would be a fantastic tournament storyline

Arkansas has been playing some really good basketball. They lost that game in double overtime to Alabama where they basically ran out of guys. But since then, they've won five of six now... Cal [Calipari] in the Final Four would be great. Fucking great.

Arkansas finished the 2025-26 season strongly but the Final Four result depends on the upcoming 2026 tournament.

The Madden generation is better at NFL game management because they grew up simulating those situations.

Honestly, so I grew up playing Madden. I really believe our generation is maybe a little bit better at game management because we've done that. Because we know when you're down 10 and you got, Hey, we're gonna kick the field goal now, and then I'm gonna get the onside, I gotta get the seven later. I do think all those games, I know it's silly, but I do think that all helps when it comes to game management.

This is a subjective observation of the coaching landscape.

The idea that you must 'establish the run' to make play-action effective is a fallacy.

That's a fallacy. You don't have to establish the run to throw. I think play action's been proven that you don't need to have a good run attack or be running the ball to get the linebackers to decide.

Many football analysts and data scientists (like those at PFF) have published studies supporting this, though it remains a point of debate among traditionalists.

Pressuring the opposing quarterback is more important than protecting your own.

[Big Cat: What's more important... protect the quarterback or heat up the quarterback?] Stefanski: Ooh, I probably heat up the quarterback. Yeah, that's the right answer. That's the way that you win Super Bowls.

This is a subjective strategic preference.
