Being called 'football smart' is actually an insult meaning you are dumb in every other regard

People come up to me and they say, well, he's football smart. That means that he's, they have no common sense and they're pretty much dumb in every other regards. So yeah, that's not a tag you really want.

This is a professional observation of scouting vernacular.

The Bulls will sign Andre Iguodala to a massive contract that will immediately backfire

I predict that Andre Iguodala is going to go to the Chicago Bulls for seven years and $300 billion because his knees are just about to blow up... He's going to play 20 games a season for the next four years, and everyone's going to be like, oh, why are the Bulls not able to sign big guys?

Iguodala re-signed with the Golden State Warriors in July 2017.

Austin Rivers, he's going to go wherever his dad goes. So they're a package deal kind of. I'm going out on a limb there I know, but that's kind of what I'm thinking.

Austin Rivers remained with the Clippers for the 2017-2018 season under his father Doc Rivers.

NCAA coaches shouldn't be offended by NIL because it is effectively legal now

The NCAA that's, they they're the ones who created this. Right. All Jimbo did was, I mean, you can agree with it or not agree with it, but they spent the money. Everybody can spend it... it is what it is. I mean, it's legal.

Bo's assessment of the new reality of college football recruiting proved accurate.

Real 'football guys' must play on grass at some point in their development

Absolutely. At some point you have [to play on grass]... the camera has to go and you've got to have a grass sticking out of your [facemask].

Part of a subjective social code in football culture.
