The 2017 Alabama recruiting class is the best of all time

The 2017 recruiting class that Nick Saban put together will probably go down as the best of all time. They are now—that is now eight first rounders from that class alone.

The 2017 Alabama class eventually produced a record-breaking number of first-round picks (including Tua, Mac Jones, DeVonta Smith, etc.), making this claim widely accepted by college football historians.

The 49ers created the best smokescreen in NFL draft history

I would not put that past Kyle Shanahan because this is the best smokescreen that I think I've ever seen in the NFL draft [leading people to believe they wanted Mac Jones].

The Niners did successfully keep their pick secret until the end, with many experts incorrectly predicting Jones to SF at #3.

The 49ers shouldn't have traded up to 3 for Mac Jones if he was available at 15

The point was the 49ers traded a lot to get up to 3, and you shouldn't take a guy at 3 that you could potentially have at 15 like the Patriots got.

The 49ers took Trey Lance at 3 and Jones fell to 15, so the value assessment was factually supported by the draft board, though subjective in terms of player quality.

Aaron Rodgers will go to the Broncos

I think [Aaron Rodgers] is going to go to Denver, and it's got to be an awesome life to be a Broncos fan. Because it's like, yeah, you get a couple seasons that are mixed in here and there, but then you just get good quarterbacks that just want to come to you. And Aaron Rodgers sounds like he wants to go there.

Rodgers did not go to Denver; he stayed with the Packers for two more seasons before being traded to the Jets in 2023.

I am done believing in Wisconsin basketball because they always rip my guts out in the tournament

I think the only lesson I've learned is like, I need to just stop believing. Because this has also become a thing where the Badgers haven't been to the Sweet 16 in like nine years... every year that we keep going is another year that I'm just reminded how close I was in 2015. I will never get back there. It just won't happen like every other team.

This is a subjective emotional state and a prediction of future failure for his own team.

High Point is not a real school; it is a four-year post-high school vacation

High Point isn't a real school. It's vacation. It's vacation use four years of post high school vacation... Students in Madison right now still have another like, solid month and a half of Winter. High Point is going and eating ice cream and in their shorts and flip flops and having steaks.

It is a real accredited university, though it is known for its luxury amenities.

Greg Gard deserves criticism but should not be fired as Wisconsin's head coach

I trust Greg Gard, but yeah, you have to throw some criticism to him... But I do not think he should be fired. And I don't think making an irrational... I think he does a pretty damn good job with everything that he's given.

The decision to keep or fire a coach is subjective/managerial.
