When trailing by 14 points, you should kick the extra point rather than go for two based on 'manalytics'.

I would rather kick the extra point, and now I'm at the end of the game, and where are we at? Are we worn out? Are we tired? And let's go for two then... I get the whole point of it... but my God, tell me where we're at in the game.

Statistically, going for two first is superior because if you miss, you know you need two scores/another two-point try. Campbell's approach is more traditional.

The NBA's current play-in tournament structure for the 7th and 8th seeds is stupid.

I just hate that they — like, they had something good. Eight versus nine is good... When you add the 10th seed, it's stupid. And the fact that the 7th seed could potentially not make the playoffs is even dumber. I just hate the whole thing.

This is a subjective opinion on league structure.

The Wizards could beat the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

I think that if the Wizards beat the Celtics, if they end up matching up against the Nets, I think that the Wizards could actually beat the Nets in the first round.

The Wizards lost to the 76ers in five games in the first round. They did not face the Nets.

If the Nets reach the NBA Finals before the Celtics do, they officially won the Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett trade.

The Nets have a chance to possibly get to the finals or win the NBA championship. Would they have officially won the trade with the Celtics when they traded all those guys and they got all the picks back because the Nets would be in the finals before the Celtics were?

The Celtics reached the Finals in 2022. The Nets core of Durant/Harden/Irving never made it past the second round.

Success early in the NFL season depends on making the fewest mistakes, not the most plays

I always believe early in the season, it's not the teams that make the most plays. It's the one that make the least amount of mistakes early in the year. And as you go, then it becomes the teams that make more plays.

General football philosophy regarding early season slop and 'preventable' losses.

55 degrees is the ideal sleeping temperature

On the road. If, if I can get it. I mean, normally the lowest you can get is 55. Right. In a hotel. Right. But I got it at 55. ... man, if I could, I would [go into the forties].

Personal preference, though medically 55 is significantly lower than the generally recommended 65-68 degrees.

Penei Sewell was the best overall prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft.

We did know that Sewell was one of if not the best prospect in this draft. That's what we really believed... we did not think he would fall to us like that.

Sewell has developed into one of the premier offensive tackles in the NFL, validating Campbell's evaluation.
