The NCAA's new compensation rules will create a major/minor league divide in college sports

The NCAA is putting forth a new... regulation... so that certain colleges, any college as a matter of fact can contribute up to $30,000 a year... once this gets into place, it's gonna be like the major leagues, right. Of college sports. Yes. And then everybody else is the minor leagues if this actually ends up happening.

The landscape of college football has rapidly shifted toward a 'Power 2' (Big Ten/SEC) dominance based on financial resources, validating this outlook.

Jake Browning is elite

Jake Browning has arrived. He is Elite. I got a question. Is Jake Browning him? He might be... 32 for 37. 354 yards. And a Bengals win.

Browning played well to finish the 2023 season but did not sustain an 'elite' status as a starter once Joe Burrow returned, remaining a high-end backup.

The NFC is a more difficult conference than the AFC this year

Now it all switches to Is the NFC the real gauntlet? Is NFC really the actual conference this year? Because Yeah. I mean, if you had to do a power rankings of teams, the NFC would have what, three of the top five teams right now?

The 49ers and Lions (NFC) reached the conference championship and were considered elite, while the AFC was dominated primarily by the Chiefs and Ravens.

The Lions defense is not good enough to avoid close games

Lions fans, listen, we have, we have been very supportive of the Lions. It is not Lions hate to say, can't trust the defense. Yeah. That's a statement of fact... The Lions don't have a defense that will the Lions have a defense that will make every game a nailbiter.

The Lions defense remained their primary weakness throughout the 2023 playoffs, particularly the secondary, leading to several high-scoring close games.

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.
