Roger Goodell will implement an NFL draft lottery by the time Trevor Lawrence is eligible

I was watching the draft lottery, and all I kept thinking about was Roger Goodell is going to make sure that the NFL has some sort of lottery in place by the time Trevor Lawrence becomes eligible because he saw this was an event.

Trevor Lawrence entered the draft in 2021; the NFL still has no draft lottery as of 2024.

Tanking is officially dead in the NBA

The NBA draft lottery... Tanking is over. Turns out Nate Silver is full of shit. Pelicans had the ninth best odds, they get the number one pick. Grizzlies had the eighth best odds, they get the two pick. The Knicks had the first best odds, they get the three pick. And the Lakers had the 11th best odds, they get the four pick. Tanking is over.

The NBA's lottery reform has largely achieved the goal of discouraging blatant tanking by reducing the reward for the worst records.

Nobody wants to find out what New York sports fans are like when the Knicks are actually good

I don't know what New Yorkers are like when the Knicks are really, really good. And I don't think that anybody wants to find out.

This is an inherently subjective opinion about fan behavior.

The ACC tournament belongs in Greensboro and it's not the same anywhere else

I grew up loving the ACC tournament. I don't love it anymore because it's not in Greensboro. The ACC is a North Carolina League. It's a tobacco league. Put it back in Greensboro.

This is a subjective preference about the historical home of a conference tournament.

The Ravens failed Max Crosby's physical intentionally to pivot to Trey Hendrickson

It's almost like they had it ready to go. They pivot to Trey Hendrickson. It feels like they had, by the letter of the law, they had the ability to fail [Crosby] for the physical because he's not ready to play. Technically the Ravens didn't break any rules, they just used it to get someone better that just came available.

This is a satirical bit; Crosby and Hendrickson did not have these transactions in real life.

The NFL will launch a spring game within a matter of years

We're a matter of years away, not decades, from the NFL doing a spring game. I think I might be into that. One spring game, just like college football. It would be kind of sick.

This is a long-term prediction about NFL business strategy.
