The NFL should expand the playoffs to eight seeds in each conference due to the Damar Hamlin game cancellation

There's another possible outcome that we can have here. This is the one that I think that they should do. This seems to be the most fair one. They are considering giving eight seeds in the AFC as well as the NFC. Because it would be more fair if you can't just have the number one seed in the NFC get a leg up and get that bye week if the AFC doesn't get it.

The NFL ultimately decided to play the AFC Championship at a neutral site if necessary rather than expanding the playoff field to 16 teams.

The AFC Championship Game should be played at a neutral site in Detroit

Let's be honest, the answer is Detroit. Because it's always Detroit for these games. And then we'd also have the joke of like, this team has won more games in Detroit—playoff games in Detroit—than Detroit in the last 30 years. You just gotta always fall back to what is the trivia answer that would hurt Detroit the most.

While Detroit was considered, the NFL eventually settled on Atlanta (Mercedes-Benz Stadium) as the potential neutral site for the 2022-23 AFC Championship game.

Steve Smith Sr. belongs in the Hall of Fame based on his Triple Crown stats with Jake Delhomme

Steve Smith should be a hall of famer. He should make it, he's like eighth all time in receiving yards. I think he's top 15 in touchdowns. But here's the stat that really should put him in... There's only four guys who have won the triple crown... Sterling Sharpe with Brett Favre, Jerry Rice with Joe Montana, Cooper Kupp last year, and then Steve Smith with Jake Delhomme. That tells you how good he is.

Steve Smith Sr. was not inducted in the 2026 Hall of Fame class (Brees, Fitzgerald, Kuechly, Vinatieri, Craig).

Al Michaels eats a full fine-dining steak meal during the eight-minute halftime of Thursday Night Football

This dude, we get to halftime... He's got like steak, oh like shrimp. He doesn't touch the mashed potatoes but... they got real silverware and they got a plate and then, you know, you only have eight minutes at halftime in the NFL... Headphones are off back behind that screen and they got a table set and it's like fine dining for eight minutes and it's just, you know, he's eating and talking and yeah, it blew me away.

Herbstreit is the primary source as Al's broadcast partner; Al Michaels has since confirmed in interviews that he has a 'no-vegetable' diet and enjoys high-end meals at halftime.

Arm length doesn't matter for a tackle as long as the quarterback doesn't have tiny hands

Arm length doesn't always dictate everything. If you have a guy that's got short arms that's playing tackle, it's not the end of the world unless maybe you also have a quarterback with tiny hands, in which case it's like synergy factors. Right. Where if the guy with short arms can't block the guy and then the guy with tiny hands gets hit, more likely to fumble.

Whether specific arm length correlates to fumbles based on QB hand size is largely theoretical and difficult to prove or disprove.

You should never order appetizers at a steakhouse to maximize your sides

I'm of the mindset now that you don't need any appetizers at steakhouses. It's, it's a good place to run Zero apps... You don't need the calamari at a steakhouse... The sides at a steakhouse are elite. The mashed potatoes are always elite... mac and cheese always elite at a steakhouse, you wanna maximize your sides to go with a steak.

This is entirely a matter of personal dining preference.

Trent Williams is the rare offensive lineman who is actually fun to watch play

Trent Williams is a joy to have on your team. He's just a fucking bully. He's also the rare offensive lineman where you have fun watching him play. Like after the ball was snapped, my eyes would just go to Trent Williams because it's like this guy, we might throw an interception, but Trent Williams might punch a guy in the throat.

This is a subjective opinion about entertainment value.
