Ohio State's offensive line is a massive concern that could lead to an upset loss against Tennessee

If you really watched the Michigan game, when they lost the center from Alabama, Seth McLaughlin, when he went down with that Achilles, I think that offensive line is a serious question mark going up against Tennessee's strength, which is their defensive front.

Tennessee won 27-24, and the OSU offensive line struggled significantly in the loss.

The Bears organization will never change because it's built on bad fundamentals and rotting from the top down

Nothing is going to change with this organization. It will always be this way. They will always be based on bad fundamentals and hoping to get lucky from time to time and nothing done the right way... the foundation of the house has been decaying and rotting for a very, very long time.

This is a subjective opinion on organizational culture.

The Bears should fire Ryan Poles and Kevin Warren and start fresh

They should fire Ryan Poles and Kevin Warren and start completely fresh. They won't do that. They'll either keep Ryan Poles and Kevin Warren, fire Ryan Poles. Keep Kevin Warren. And it's just gonna be a mess. And nothing's ever gonna change.

The Bears fired coach Matt Eberflus mid-season, but as of the episode date, the front office remains intact. This is a subjective assessment of the organizational health.

I am officially retiring from ever getting 10/10 excited for the Bears until the ownership changes

I'm officially retiring from ever getting to a 10 outta 10 excitement for the Chicago Bears until something changes... anything, ownership probably... I will not let myself get a 10 outta 10 excited. That doesn't mean I'm not gonna root really hard for them and want them to do well. I'm not going to get, let myself get 10 outta 10 excited ever again until it's proven on the field that something has changed.

This is a personal emotional commitment by Big Cat about his Bears fandom. It cannot be objectively verified.

College football players should be required to sign contracts and form a union

I think these players at this point, they need to sign contracts. I think we need a CBA, I think we need to form some kind of player's union... we somehow need to get that national view to partner with the players union. Create a CBA where you're held accountable. Okay, we're gonna agree on NIL here are the rules we're gonna agree on... and then we obey the contract on both sides.

This is a policy proposal for the future of college athletics, which is currently undergoing significant legal and structural changes.

Bill Belichick will prioritize academic performance at North Carolina

I really think as much as you guys are saying, Hey, don't worry about the education... I think he's gonna think about how I do both... I think he's gonna, the reason it took two weeks... I'm sure he sat there and just gathered so much intel... but I do think he's gonna do the academic side. I I, that's just me.

Belichick's success in managing academics at UNC will be visible over the next few years through the team's APR and graduation rates.
