An NFL trade request doesn't really mean anything anymore; it's just the new version of a holdout

What this should teach us more than anything about the NFL is that a trade request doesn't really mean shit anymore. In the NBA I feel like if you request a trade... it's over. In the NFL, that's just the new holdout, right? Is requesting a trade.

The 2024 off-season saw numerous trade requests (Aiyuk, McLaurin, Hendrickson) result in the players staying with their original teams on new deals.

Terry McLaurin's 'hold in' only worked because he didn't miss mental reps and stayed in shape

I like to think that Terry is a consummate pro... they were just giving him all the assignments, the playbook, all that stuff he was doing mental reps. He's gonna be in shape.

Subjective assessment of a player's preparation during a holdout.

Trey Hendrickson's contract raise is a win-win for both the player and the Bengals

I think there's a win-win. You get more money for this year. You still get to be a free agent next year and maybe cash in one more time. And the Bengals... don't have to worry about it in the coming years.

Outcome of the contract's value is subjective to team and player goals.

Tommy DeVito will play a snap in the NFL this year

Will Tommy DeVito play a snap in the NFL this year? Yes. No, he'll be on a team though. He feels like a Saints quarterback.

Insufficient information about whether Tommy DeVito played an NFL snap in 2025.

Barry Bonds could still play in the MLB and take a million walks because of fear

I think of that with Barry Bonds for sure. Barry Bonds I like He could just, he, he could show up and just be awesome and, and take like a million walks. 'cause people would fear him.

This is a hypothetical claim about a retired player's current ability, which is fundamentally subjective.

American air conditioning is the equivalent of 'Hunter Biden crack' for European visitors

I would imagine air conditioning for Europeans hits like crack. Like the best crack of all. Oh, hunter Biden crack. Yeah. That's like when we go over to, to Spain and we see a nude beach. Like that's, that, that feeling that we get over there is their feeling when they're walking into one of our buildings over here.

Inherently subjective and hyperbolic comparison.

Norway throwing a parade for a World Cup loss is 'loser energy'

Norway is, but I think it was more just people being like, oh, this is, this is what's wrong with players today... this all falls apart when you see the, the parade that they threw for the players in Norway. Right. Which is, I I see it as loser energy just because it's like you're basically saying this is the best it will ever get.

The evaluation of 'loser energy' is a matter of opinion.
