Dick Vitale is losing his edge as a college basketball commentator

I'm a big Dickie V fan. I'm okay that they took him off the [Duke vs. UNC] game. I think they did it a little early, but I will give a little bit of a hat tip to whoever decided it... I listened to Dickie V on Saturday and it's fading on us, boys. I don't want to say it, but he's kind of losing it.

Dick Vitale was eventually phased out of lead commentator roles for major games over the following years.

Antonio Brown will sign a four-year, $79 million guaranteed contract with the Redskins

It's going to be the Redskins. So here's what's going to happen. He's going to join the Redskins. They're going to pay, I'll say, four years, $79 million guaranteed. And he'll play for two, well, one and a half. And then he'll just sit out the rest of the year.

Antonio Brown was traded to the Raiders, not the Redskins, and his contract situation was vastly different.

Rams special teams will keep costing them big games

The special teams is just atrocious and every single year they do this and every single year it costs them in a high-leverage game. And it's just the same thing over and over.

This is a judgment about a recurring team-building pattern and cannot be definitively resolved as a subjective opinion.
