Every airline landing where you don't die is a 'great' landing

If you didn't die and they didn't break the plane, it's a fucking great landing because you also don't know what they're dealing with. They can be coming in at the last second... and you got like 300 people and your own life on the line. I don't know how they do that.

Subjective standard for 'greatness' in airline safety.

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.

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.

The internet should be shut down or strictly monitored

It's really a, it's a low point, you know, point in, I think the internet should be shut down and, or at least monitored. You gotta somehow, like I've been doing this bit about in cells that, you know, a bunch of people who aren't don't know how to talk to women, talk to a bunch of other people don't know how to talk to women. And in the end, they're all blaming women.

This is a subjective policy opinion.

NFL ratings and money are the only reason quarterbacks are over-protected by rules

I think their ratings went down when quarterbacks got hurt and people didn't want to watch the games. So they just started protecting them more so than they ever did... I always choose this money. It's always been about the money. If they actually cared about the players, they wouldn't address this issue decades ago.

It's an opinion on the motive of a corporation, which is subjective but widely debated.

The Seahawks lost Super Bowl XLIX because they followed analytics over the human element of coaching

Analytics and numbers is also why the Seahawks lost to the Patriots because that play the whole year, the worst it was was an incomplete. And that's some of the high percentage. It was a touchdown except on that play that lost in the Super Bowl and it was an interception... What wasn't in the analytics was Bill Belichick knowing about that play and having everybody practice it.

This is a subjective analysis of a past event, though the factual basis of the Seahawks' play-call history is accurate.
