College football should adopt the NFL playoff format

Professional football has, in my opinion, the best post-season... Just do that format in college football, everybody, the whole hand ringing for the last 20 years, like, oh, I don't know if the fans are going to want to play off. Fuck you. Yes, we do want to play off. It would be incredible.

College football expanded to a 12-team playoff starting in the 2024-25 season, moving closer to the NFL style.

Joey Chestnut is the greatest athlete of all time

Joey Chestnut is the greatest American that has ever lived. One of the greatest athletes of all time. And I think we can confidently say that he is the greatest eater, the greatest human eater of all time... He is the greatest athlete of all time, in my opinion.

Subjective claim about 'greatest athlete' and 'greatest American', though Chestnut is indisputably the greatest competitive eater.

The Nets should refuse to trade Kevin Durant and force him to stay

I actually am of the belief that the Nets should just be like, fuck it. You're staying on the team. You signed a four year deal. Like they used to mean something kind of pushed back player empowerment. Like, Hey, no, you can't be traded. We're going to keep you.

The Nets did eventually trade Durant to the Suns in February 2023, though they did successfully force him to stay through the start of the 2022-23 season.

The Utah Jazz will be a major problem in 8 to 10 years because of Danny Ainge's draft pick haul

He's [Danny Ainge] just going to get the max amount of pics in the future. And he's just going to do this all again, which he did. I think the Wolves... gave up like six or seven first round picks. So it's essentially like the Jazz are just... going to probably do the same thing with Donovan Mitchell. And it's just going to be the Jazz in like eight to 10 years are going to be a problem. I'm calling it right now.

The Jazz are currently in the midst of this rebuild (as of 2024/2025). We won't know the full result of these picks for several more years.

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.
