The Hall of Fame has a bias against the slot receiver position

Does the Hall of Fame have a bias towards a position like slot receiver? Because it's similar to a nose tackle who doesn't get the sacks. A slot receiver might not have all the receiving yards or all the touchdowns, but he's impacting the game in another way.

This is a subjective debate about voting trends in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Julian Edelman will eventually make the Hall of Fame in 20 years because the 'Patriots Dynasty' narrative will keep it alive

If I had to guess, I think [Edelman] will end up in it in 20 years because people will keep it alive and it will grow in stature... whenever 150 [anniversary] comes and they start opening the door to everyone and they clean up the Hall of Fame. That feels like a Julian Edelman [year].

Edelman is not in the Hall of Fame yet. It will take at least 20 years to see if this specific prediction of him being 'grandfathered' in comes true.

Julian Edelman isn't actually retiring and will try to come back

I have a lot of faith in his work ethic, and I think he definitely is going to try to rehab it and come back. [Edelman] isn't actually retired.

Edelman never returned to the NFL following his April 2021 retirement announcement.

You can't tell the story of football without Julian Edelman and Eli Manning

The best argument that Julian Edelman has and Eli Manning is you can't tell the story of football without those guys. Because you can't tell the story of the Falcons Super Bowl without Julian Edelman. You can't tell the story of Tom Brady's career without Eli Manning.

This is a subjective standard for Hall of Fame induction.

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.
