The 6-foot mark is the new 'height shaming' frontier in the NFL

This is like a very important moment in height shaming where if six feet becomes the new height that you can shame, everyone under is very fucked. So you need to like defend the wall.

The NFL stashed the Justin Fields epilepsy story to drop it during a slow news week before the draft

If the draft wasn't pushed back this far, we might never have found out about it... They're like, hey, the week before, let's drop the epilepsy story. We're going to stash that one away because people are going to be starved for some news.

This is an unprovable theory about PR timing.

Two quarterbacks will be drafted immediately after Mac Jones goes off the board.

I think that there's going to be, after Mac goes, I think that it's just going to be two quarterbacks immediately after him.

Mac Jones was drafted 15th. The next quarterback taken was Kyle Trask at 64th and Davis Mills at 67th. There was no run immediately after Jones.

I am skeptical of Nick Sirianni because he self-leaked the rock-paper-scissors draft story.

He put the news out there that he was evaluating draft prospects by asking them to play rock, paper, scissors against them... I would have liked this story if someone else had reported it... but the fact that he put it out there, he's like, look at this cool, smart, awesome football guy thing that I did... I'm officially skeptical of Nick Sirianni at this point.

Subjective opinion on coaching style and PR tactics.

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.
