Mike Vrabel used his interest in the Jets as a smokescreen to pressure the Patriots into making a coaching change.

Mike Vrabel's interest in the Jets was just a smokescreen to pressure the Patriots to make a move at Head Coach... [It] was put pressure on the Patriots to make a move with a young, incredibly promising QB who improved every weekend.

While Vrabel didn't end up with the Patriots job, the timing of Mayo's firing right after Vrabel's Jets interview suggests there was some strategic maneuvering involved.

The Steelers are stuck in a cycle of 'good-ish' seasons followed by first-round exits.

you're going to see the, the exact same Steelers season repeat itself over and over again in the future... You're good-ish and you're always gonna be good-ish. You're gonna play teams hard, but you're probably not gonna do anything in the playoffs.

The Steelers lost to the Chiefs 37-17 in the Wild Card round, continuing the exact pattern PFT described.

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.

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.
