Troy Vincent was the source for the false Deflategate report

We outed the source for Chris Mortensen's report that 11 to 12 footballs were two pounds underinflated... That was false information that was given to him by Troy Vincent from the NFL office. We report that in Playmakers.

Florio's book 'Playmakers' officially identifies Vincent as the source. While the NFL has never officially confirmed this, it is Florio's documented investigative conclusion.

Houston is a 'fraud' that schedules weak opponents

I hate Houston... I've been calling Houston a fraud for two years. They went to the Final Four last year playing nothing but double digit seeds... They scheduled like a D3 team... Houston loads up on wins on shitty schools.

Houston reached the Elite Eight in 2022, proving they were a top-tier team despite Titus's claims of being a 'fraud'.

The Jaguars have to pay a 'Jaguars tax' to sign good players

The Jaguars are doing a complete renovation... They're signing everyone, they're paying everybody insane amounts of money because there is a Jaguars tax that you have to pay. Like if you want a good player... you have to pay them like they're superstars to get them to go to the Jaguars.

The Jaguars significantly outspent the league in 2022 free agency, including the controversial Christian Kirk contract, supporting the 'tax' theory.

Billionaires should pay for their own stadiums

The Bills are getting a $1.4 billion new stadium. It's going to be right next to their old stadium, all paid for by the public... Billionaires should pay for their own fucking stadium.

The Buffalo Bills stadium deal eventually involved $850 million in public funding, a record at the time, confirming Hank's point about public footed bills.

The Hall of Fame needs to go back to the old 80% up-or-down voting system for each finalist

They should have forced the voters to say yes or no on Bill Belichick. And they need to go back to what's the easiest fix here. Go back to the system where the finalists each have an 80% up or down, yes or no vote like it used to be. It's fundamentally unfair.

This is an opinion about what the Hall of Fame should do with their voting process.

17 NFL teams will be playing in domes within the next 10 years

Seventeen teams are gonna be playing in domes within the next 10 years. The way things are currently going, the Chiefs are moving into a dome.

This is a forward-looking projection about stadium construction that will take years to verify.

The Browns will be looking for another coach within two or three years

I'm fairly confident they'll be looking for another coach within two or three years.

Whether the Browns fire Todd Monken within 2-3 years is beyond my knowledge cutoff.
