David Price being injured means he can't lose in the playoffs

Spin zone for David Price. If he is injured, he can't lose in the playoffs.

Price actually went on to win a World Series with the Red Sox in 2018, proving he could win in the playoffs, but for the 2017 season specifically, he did eventually return and pitch in the ALDS.

If you can't motivate your sperm to swim, you can't lead an NFL team

I'd like to see them do the combine in the nude... make them jerk off into a cup, test their swimmers out. If you're a quarterback, if you can't motivate your sperm to swim, you can't lead a team.

Biologically and professionally irrelevant to quarterbacking success.

Mitch Trubisky screwed himself by measuring 6'2" because of Hue Jackson's arbitrary height cutoff

Hugh Jackson, his cutoff for quarterbacks, 6'2". So Mitch Trubisky kind of screwed himself. He should have slouched a little bit, hoping that he went at 6'1"... [Hue] just said, if the quarterback's not 6'2 or taller, I don't want him.

Hue Jackson actually preferred Trubisky but was overruled for Garrett. Trubisky was picked 2nd, proving the height didn't scare off everyone.

Patrick Mahomes' small hands are a reason not to pick him in the draft

I also saw that Mahomes had small hands, so be careful of that. Don't worry about the fact that he played in a Kliff Kingsbury offense, and it was an air raid... His hands, a little undersized. That's why you shouldn't pick them. I actually like him. I think he actually would be good for them.

Patrick Mahomes became arguably the greatest QB of his generation. Hand size proved to be entirely irrelevant.

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.
