The NFL purposefully scheduled Christmas Day games to screw over NBA markets

NFL is game, right? They did it so that each market is fucked by the NFL... Celtics, Sixers, Nicks, sons nuggets, Lakers, Mavs... Packers are playing bucks. They just fucked. It's it's so great. They just like, oh, here are your top teams that you're gonna use for Christmas day. We're gonna steal 'em.

The NFL's 2022 Christmas tripleheader obliterated the NBA's ratings, proving the strategy was intentional and effective.

Hard Knocks has successfully made me believe in the Detroit Lions

I'm hopeful for Detroit. I think hard knocks has successfully made me believe in the Detroit lions. Now I I'm going to be probably very wrong about that as anyone who's ever rooted for Detroit lions knows, but I'm at that point where like, yeah, I can see, I can see the lines making some noise.

The Lions finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs in 2022, though they did finish the season very strong, making the take partially right in spirit.

Honolulu blue is an electric shade of blue that doesn't get enough credit

Just as an aside, watching the hard knocks with the lions, Honolulu blue doesn't get enough shoutouts for being a great shade of blue. Like it's always Carolina blue. Yeah. Honolulu blue is electric.

Subjective aesthetic opinion.

A 9-8 record for the Detroit Lions would be the equivalent of a Super Bowl

If they can get you to believe in the Detroit lines, like even if they just go, if they go nine and eight, that's a super bowl for Detroit. Like what a story that would be.

The Lions actually finished exactly 9-8 in the 2022 season.

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.
