I will take the immediate gratification of playoff hockey over a top draft pick every single time

I know you could have gotten the first overall pick, but you know, what, would you rather have like a week and a half? Oh a combination of misery and pain and maybe a couple glimpses of Awesomeness now or You rather wait for years to maybe have a good player. I would take the immediate gratification every single time.

This is a personal preference regarding team management philosophy.

The Big Ten will announce they are canceling the college football season on Monday

As we're sitting here right now, it feels like the Big Ten is going to announce that they're canceling on Monday. And then who knows what's gonna happen? Like I could still see the SEC being like fuck everyone were playing.

The Big Ten announced the postponement of the fall season on August 11, 2020.

College football would happen if the NCAA paid the athletes and made them employees

This is the one sport where they don't pay their athletes and if they pay their athletes, I actually think it would happen. They wish it'd basically be like, hey, do you want to get paid? Okay... the problem is the NCAA will do everything including cancel a season before they pay their athlete.

This is a subjective labor theory, though history shows the NCAA fought pay until legally forced via NIL.

One in 50 offensive linemen will die from a heart attack during a game

Billy told us a fact that one in 50 offensive linemen will die from a heart attack during a game which I don't know where he got that fact out of his ass literally just said that before the show.

There is no medical or historical data to support that 2% of all offensive linemen die of heart attacks during games.

UNC is one of the true blue blood jobs in college basketball

This is a job that doesn't come open very often. And it is a true blue blood job... It is the logo of a team that's won a ton of national titles and a ton of Final Fours. It is literally one of the blue bloods.

UNC's historical success, tournament wins, and titles objectively categorize them as a blue blood.

The Cubs are the second best team in the NL and will reach the NLCS

I think the Cubs are gonna be really fucking good. I think they're the second best team in the NL so I guess my expectations might be a little too high, but I think they're gonna be really, really good. I think they should definitely win the NL Central and be in the NLCS.

Predicting the Cubs to be the second-best team in the entire National League is a bold stance given the Dodgers and Braves.

Being the designated TV remote guy at a bar is a 10 out of 10 job

Had dinner at a local establishment last night and was informed that someone on staff was the designated TV remote guy to switch between games. No bartending, no waiting tables, just ball. 10 out of 10 job. You don't do this job without immense pride. It's the best job ever.

Subjective opinion on job quality.
