Having kids is a massive money pit

I want to say that I don't see this as a waste, but it is a waste. Having kids is just... it's a money pit. ... If you buy a kid a toy, they play with it for about five minutes. Then they're like, I'm gonna play with your fucking shoes or something that could kill me. ... You should actually just adopt your kids when they're 17 years old. You spend way less money on them.

Economically, children are widely considered one of the largest expenses an individual can incur, making the 'money pit' description factually grounded in a financial sense.

Aaron Rodgers is functionally the head coach of the Jets, not Robert Saleh

I walked away from this Hard Knocks episode two, asking myself a simple question. Who's the coach of the Jets? Is it Robert Saleh... or is it Aaron Rodgers? ... Robert Saleh turned to Aaron Rodgers and he said, 'we gotta get them [the O-line] right for you, buddy.' And I said, huh, that's weird. Tail wagging the dog. That feels like Aaron Rodgers is coaching this team.

The Jets finished 7-10 and Robert Saleh was eventually fired in 2024, partly due to the inability to manage the Rodgers era effectively.

A dominant defensive line can emasculate and ruin the confidence of their own offensive line in practice

I think the fact that their defensive line is so good that they [the Jets offensive line] get their ass kicked every day by a really good defensive line. That's a little bit emasculating. You lose your confidence. ... The Jets should make their defensive line worse so that their offensive line could get better.

While a creative theory, iron sharpens iron is the standard football philosophy; however, the Jets offensive line did struggle significantly in 2023.

A 24-team College Football Playoff is starting to make sense

I'm starting to grow on it. My problem is, I'm thinking about it in just this year where we actually had parity.

This is a subjective opinion about playoff format and cannot be definitively judged.
