The current college basketball transfer portal is bad for the game

I see what 1500 1600 kids transferring. It's a different game, but I don't think it's a good game... The problem is, are we in fact making [it]? ... transferring, I don't think it's a good game.

This is a subjective opinion on the quality of college basketball.

The NFL preseason should have a full Sunday slate with RedZone to help fans practice for the regular season

I think that the preseason should mimic the regular season and that we should have a full Sunday of football with a red zone to get us ready because the random start times... Give me, let me actually practice what it feels like to get up on a Sunday and get my body ready and watch every team play.

The NFL has not changed the preseason schedule to a uniform Sunday block; it remains spread across various days and times.

The NFL's new taunting rule is going to be brutal and should be complained out of the league

The taunting rule fucking sucks. It's going to be brutal and we're going to all... It is the dumbest rule ever. We need to [complain it away].

The rule was heavily criticized and enforcement was somewhat softened in subsequent seasons, though it remains on the books.

Mac Jones might win NFL Rookie of the Year

I think I'm going to Zig while everybody's zags. I think Mac Jones might be the rookie of the year... If Mac Jones gets in week four, then how many games? 13 games. Yeah. If he goes nine and four, see, I think, I think he gets rookie of the year.

Mac Jones did not win Rookie of the Year; the award went to Ja'Marr Chase.

Winning a Big East regular season and tournament championship meant more than a National Championship

I think that actually might mean more than the national championship. Deep down it is... Boy did we all miss, you know, Jimmy [Boeheim] and all of us... it's much better fighting your own neighborhood. The guys you know, the guys you have to recruit against.

This is a subjective value judgment based on Calhoun's career experience.

If you play for Rick Pitino, you always have a chance to win

Pitino who I don't like, he doesn't like me. And that's cool. Tell you one thing, man can coach all the other bullshit aside. You'll play for them. If you play for them, you got a chance to win.

This is a subjective assessment of Pitino's coaching ability by a contemporary.

SEC Football and Big East Basketball were the two hardest things in sports at the time

The Southeast conference of football and the Big East basketball, the two hardest things I've ever seen at that time. Six out of nine of us are in the hall of fame that coached. And that's crazy.

This is a subjective comparison of historical conference strength.
