In the NFL postseason, running the ball doesn't matter in the AFC, but it is essential in the NFC

What we've truly learned from this sample size, I think it's big enough: in the AFC, running football doesn't work. In the NFC, you need to be able to run the football and it doesn't matter if you're able to pass. Running backs that run for over 200 yards with four touchdowns, their team wins 100% of the time.

The 2021 AFC Champions (Bengals) and the 2022 AFC Champions (Chiefs) both relied heavily on passing, while teams like the 49ers continued to dominate the NFC via the run, giving some spiritual validity to the take, though it's not a hard rule.

Cows are going to have a big year for the economy

I'm investing big time here... I'm investing in cows. I feel like cows are gonna have a big gear. Spaulding still out there doing it.

This is a satirical take about commodities that can't be meaningfully verified in a sports context.

The NFL's new roughing the passer rules make it harder for defensive players to tackle running quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes

I actually think that a little hot take, but the new rules with hitting quarterbacks makes it harder for defensive players to fully go at a quarterback. It felt like guys wanted to tackle him, but it also felt like if they went too hard they would get a penalty. You very rarely get a clean shot on a quarterback in the open field and they missed it.

While subjective, many analysts and players have echoed the sentiment that defender hesitation helps mobile QBs in the open field.

A Super Bowl win will take Andy Reid's legacy from a great coach to one of the best ever

Andy Reid is in that classic situation where his legacy, if he wins a Super Bowl, will change so dramatically. He's been such a good coach for so long... that one Super Bowl win will take him from a great coach to like one of the best.

Andy Reid won Super Bowl 54 and subsequently Super Bowls 57 and 58, cementing his place as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.
