The fear of failure is a necessary and healthy driver for success

People that say you're not supposed to be afraid of failure, I think, are so full of shit. ... That fear of failure is what's driving me to work to be good. ... It shouldn't shut you down, but it definitely should be there.

Psychological/motivational advice is subjective.

Limiting pass interference penalties to 15 yards will cause receivers to be 'mugged' downfield

It's going to be like the purge for the Seahawks receivers more than 15 yards downfield. ... the NFL is going to create a new law that's going to have like a million unintended consequences to it.

The rule to limit DPI to 15 yards was not adopted by the NFL, it remains a spot foul.

The NFL should stop the clock after first downs under two minutes like college football

The only rule I really want to see in the NFL is... I want the NFL to... adopt the clock stops after a first down under two minutes like the college [rule]. Because it makes—you can come back with 45 seconds left. It's awesome to watch.

The NFL has not adopted this rule; the clock still runs after first downs outside of the 2-minute warning except for other stoppages.

The NFL should allow all players to smoke marijuana

I enjoy marijuana a lot... I think it's made my life exponentially better... the NFL should let all their players smoke... because there's such a high percentage... there is actual medical relief for it. I think the NFL will get over it.

The NFL significantly loosened its marijuana policy in the 2020 CBA, no longer suspending players for positive tests.

The term 'amateurism' is a made-up concept used by the NCAA to exploit athletes

Every single year, we would have the NCAA meeting... they would always use this word amateurism, the word that they created, and then they'd lock it down on it. Like... Well, you can't affect your amateurism status. Like, motherfucker, you made up that word.

The Supreme Court and subsequent rule changes have largely validated the idea that the NCAA's amateurism model was legally and practically flawed.
