Instant replay has been positive for the NFL and fans generally don't mind the pace of play issues.
I think replay has been good for football... Honestly, I don't know how we'd get through games nowadays without it. I think people mostly don't even notice that it's slowing the game down at all. I think we're mostly glad we have it.

View episodeVirginia's national title run is one of the coolest stories in sports history
UVA now becomes one of the coolest stories in all of sports going from the loss to UMBC last year as a one seed to a 16 seed never happened before to then get all the way back and go to the national title and win the national championship. It's all like one story. And it all kind of erases. I feel like if they don't have that low, they don't get to this high.
The best sports teams are usually the luckiest ones
To me, it seems like the best teams are always the ones that get the luckiest. You can make the case like, oh, Tom Brady shouldn't have as many Super Bowls because the interception bailed him out at the end of the Seattle game... But it turns out that if you have luck that adds up a lot, you're probably just good.
Unders in the first half are a strong betting trend for games played on raised floors in football stadiums.
I've noticed that teams, when they're on that raised floor... in the first half, it seems to me like all the first half unders were hitting on any game that's ever been played on an elevated floor, like in a football [stadium].

View profileI would draft a generational cornerback over a generational pass rusher
If I had an opportunity at, you know, like a generational pass rusher with nobody behind them or a generational corner with decent rushers up front. I'm taking the generational corner... you cannot manufacture coverage. You can manufacture pass rush.
Caleb Williams is the most talented quarterback in the NFC North
I, I don't think it's unreasonable to say [Caleb Williams] is the most talented quarterback in the division... he's got a different kind of talent like the extension of plays, the throwing off tar off platform. Like that's big in today's NFL.
The Ravens will roll over the Vikings because Lamar Jackson is too difficult to blitz
I really like the Ravens. I think the Ravens roll this week. You can't blitz Lamar and Brian Flores likes to blitz. I think this team knows that they have no margin for error.
