Getting old is primarily about 'giving less of a fuck'

I think the number one thing is giving less of a fuck. That's the number one thing with age that is so much better. Where it's like, I don't start dressing better, but it's like, I don't care. I got kids. I got a good life. I don't give a fuck.

This is a subjective experience of aging.

Sean McDermott should not be fired

Sean McDermott still has his job. I don't think he should be fired now. The dust has been settled... He's a very, very good coach. But you have to also look at what he's done in the playoffs and how much those losses just stay with a man.

Sean McDermott was retained for the following season.

Getting your ass kicked in the playoffs is better than losing a close game

I think it captures the moment perfectly. It's... the two guys on the bus meme. One is really pissed off. Doom and gloom. The other guy's super happy. The guy that's pissed off is losing a close game. The guy that's super happy is getting your ass kicked. So getting your ass kicked is better in those situations, I think than being like, oh, you know, we were one play away.

This is an inherently subjective take on fan psychology.

The Chiefs' defense is overrated while their offense is underrated

The Chiefs' defense is a little overrated. I'm gonna say it right now. I'm gonna dig into some numbers for you, but I'm gonna say it... Their rush defense has not been incredible in the back half. Now the problem is for you and the Chiefs is their offense has gotten a lot better. I think their defense is above average. And I think people think that their offense is average. And I think that's also above average.

Big Cat said the Chiefs' defense was overrated and their offense was underrated. In Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs' defense gave up 40 points to the Eagles, supporting the 'overrated defense' claim. The offense put up decent numbers but couldn't overcome the defensive failures.

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.
