Bill Belichick prefers to part with players a year too early rather than a year too late

I think Belichick has proven throughout the years that he will always walk away from a guy a year too early than a year too late. And in a probably was a situation where he's like, I'm not going to pay a 42 year old quarterback 30 million dollars a year for multiple years.

Belichick famously traded/cut players like Richard Seymour and Lawyer Milloy early. Letting Brady walk fits this established pattern.

Tom Brady leaving the Patriots is heartbreaking but I am mostly reminiscing about the championships

It was heartbreaking but it was more of like I kind of agree with reminisced. I was reminiscing More than I was crying in my Cheerios. . . You can never take away like the six championships.

Subjective emotional state of a fan.

Tom Brady will lead the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl in their own stadium in his first season

How about this Hank: Tom Brady makes a Super Bowl next year with the Buccaneers in their stadium in Tampa. They play against the Patriots—who are you rooting for?

The Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV in February 2021 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

The Chargers should have offered Tom Brady team equity to spite the NFL owners for blocking their Vegas bid

The Los Angeles Chargers... could have pulled an all-time fuck you move to the owners. . . If the Chargers had offered Brady equity in the football team after his retirement—cause I don't think that they can give it to him as he's playing—every owner in the NFL would've been so pissed off about that and it would have been the perfect opportunity for some real vengeance.

This is a subjective strategy proposal that was never attempted.

The intentional-grounding penalty was the right play

I actually think he had, that's an OC problem because there was no underneath route. If he throws that deep and, like, everyone had—it just was a shit show. He couldn't throw it deep because he was basically getting chased. If he takes a sack, everyone has to come back. It probably is more than 10 seconds to get the next play. So that one, I had no problem.

Whether the decision was optimal is an inherently debatable football judgment.

The Colts needed a complete reset after Chris Ballard's firing

Chris Ballard was there for 10 years, never won an AFC South. You finally just—it's inexcusable. The Andrew Luck retirement is probably what bought Chris Ballard a lot more years. He basically could just keep on saying, 'Well, our plans were screwed up because Andrew Luck retired.'

This is an evaluative judgment about a general manager's tenure and cannot be objectively resolved.

The NBA should start on Christmas Day and play 60 games

The NBA should start on Christmas day. It should be a 60-game schedule. It'd be so much better.

This is a preference about league scheduling and cannot be objectively resolved.
