JJ McCarthy has the potential to be the greatest quarterback of all time because of his winning pedigree and untapped upside
JJ McCarthy's a perfect quarterback where you can look at it and if you wanna look at it glass half full, he could be the greatest quarterback of all time.

View episodeBanning the hip drop tackle is a massive mistake for the NFL
Banning that [swivel hip drop tackle] would be a massive, massive mistake. Mistake, mistake... It's such a subjective call because you have to have certain elements that are involved in the speed that the game's played at. You're gonna have referees that are like, 'I think that was a hip drop tackle. I'm not really sure.'
A big NFL game will be decided by a hip drop tackle penalty this year
The first reason in my mind is we have just added a rule that is going to be debated similar to can't land on the quarterback. There will be a big, big game decided by the hip drop. Because what is it, what's the penalty now? Is it 15 yards?
Banning the hip drop tackle makes tight ends even more valuable
I also think this now makes the tight end position even more valuable because a lot of the hip drop tackles are defensive back, smaller guys getting beat a little bit and trying to slow down a bigger guy with a hip drop tackle where he is trying to, you know, don't ride on top of him and let him get a couple extra yards. Try to stop his momentum and bring him backwards. I now that you can't do that, I think tight ends are gonna eat in the flats.

The USMNT is the 'James Franklin Penn State' of soccer
People were making very mean jokes online that we were James Franklin, Penn State. And it is actually perfectly appropriate because if you look at who we played, we beat the teams we're supposed to beat... and then we absolutely got ass fucked by the team that was better than us in Belgium. We are not who we thought we were.
We just suck at soccer as a country and that's okay
My take is we suck at soccer and that's okay. Like, I don't care that we suck at soccer anymore. I'm going to root for the US team. I'm gonna get excited when we're in a World Cup. I'm gonna get hyped up and it's gonna be fun to watch. And then I'm gonna be reminded that we suck at soccer and that it's just gonna be like, okay, yeah, that's okay.
