Dwight Howard is incapable of self-reflection and will never realize he's the problem

Dwight Howard unhappy with the situation. [PFT: It sounds like he's just depressed.] Dwight Howard causing a problem on his team... At what point do you think he looks in the mirror and is like, hey, maybe it's me? No, he doesn't do that. No, it's never going to happen.

Dwight Howard bounced around several more teams (Hornets, Wizards, 76ers) before reinventing himself as a role player with the Lakers in 2020, which many saw as a moment of self-reflection.

Losing by four goals in the playoffs is better than losing in a heartbreaker

I would rather we lose the game by four goals than lose the game in a heartbreak or an overtime. That's demoralizing. Because now it's like you're a little bit embarrassed. You've got that chip on your shoulder in game three.

Subjective sports logic; it didn't help as the Caps lost the series to the Penguins in 7 games.

The Capitals will be worse next year because they won't be able to keep their current roster together

I'm pretty sure the Capitals, I haven't gone deep into their cap next year, but I'm pretty sure they won't be able to bring everyone back. They won't be able to make a bunch of trades. They're probably not going to be as good. So next year, you probably won't think it's your year.

The Capitals actually won the Stanley Cup the following year (2018), so they were significantly better, not worse.

The city of Edmonton does not actually exist

I don't think the town of Edmonton actually exists. I don't know anyone that's ever been there. I'm a big-time Edmonton truther. The whole city is filled with crisis actors.

The city of Edmonton definitively exists.

Derrick Henry is one of the last running backs with a Hall of Fame case

He's gonna be one of the last running backs that's gonna go into the Hall. Hall of Fame for running backs is gonna get very difficult soon.

Hall of Fame selection is partly subjective, and the future class of running backs has not been determined.

The Bears' offense may be record-breaking under Ben Johnson

Ben Johnson said, 'We're trying to break the record,' and so far, obviously small sample size, one game, good start.

The Bears' full-season offensive output has not been resolved.

I am giving Ben Johnson total control

I will hand over all free will and thought and just give it to him and be like, whatever you say, I will just do whatever you decide. I will say, yes, that was the correct decision.

This is a subjective expression of confidence in a coach's decision-making.
