Coach K uses surgery as an excuse to take a break when his team is struggling

Coach K. He just gets a surgery every fucking day. ... Usually when his team's like, oh, maybe the number one recruiting class isn't so good. ... he's had every part operated on, so he doesn't really have any other excuses.

This is a subjective conspiracy theory common among Duke haters.

Mitch Trubisky is the future of the Chicago Bears and a future Hall of Famer

I know it's a trap because I do think Mitch Trubisky is the future, but I'm a little ahead of myself. I'm thinking Canton, Ohio already. Yeah, I am one half of the first preseason game, but I don't care. He looked pretty good in that one half.

Trubisky did not become a Hall of Famer and was considered a bust relative to his draft position (taken before Mahomes and Watson).

The Ravens will finish second in the AFC North, win a wild card game, and then lose a close game to the Patriots.

9-7-10 and six they're finishing in second place behind the Steelers it's going to be them and the Bengals battling for that wild card spot and I need Joe Flacco to win a wild card game against someone really shitty probably the Texans and then I need them to just barely lose against the Patriots lose by one touchdown but be up at half against the Patriots

The Ravens finished 9-7 in 2017 but missed the playoffs entirely, losing on a last-minute touchdown to the Bengals in Week 17.

Roger Goodell will not show up in Foxboro for Week 1

I still don't think he's going to show up. I've been on the record on this podcast saying it, that he won't show up.

Roger Goodell did attend the NFL season opener at Gillette Stadium on September 7, 2017.

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.
