NFL Combine speed can have diminishing returns if it's used as a crutch

I had the thought while I was watching it is being really fast actually bad. Is there a point where being so fast is diminishing returns? Yes... the faster you are the faster you're out of position and you maybe you don't run the routes as well because you can't keep your body under control you learn it as a crutch.

The 'Combine Warrior' bust is a common trope in the NFL, though speed remains a highly valued trait.

I think we're going to break the record this year for the amount of times 'This is March' is uttered

I think we're going to break a record this year for the amount of times 'This is March' has uttered shout-out to our friend John Rothstein for creating that phrase.

The phrase became a massive staple of the show's March coverage in 2020 (until the tournament was canceled due to COVID-19).

Tony Romo shouldn't have signed for $17M if it means he can't skip games for golf tournaments

Does [Romo] get to skip certain games to go playing golf tournament still? ... if he's getting paid that much ... Tony Romo can't sneak away to play in like the Bob Hope program ... is it really worth it?

The take is subjective based on personal values regarding work-life balance versus $17 million.

ESPN wanted Tony Romo so the NFL would give them better matchups

I think they were just ESPN was thinking if we get [Romo] in our booth then maybe we'll get like some Steelers Patriots matchups on Monday Night Football figure it out later... having a guy that Roger Goodell likes working for your company will make Roger Goodell just like give you all the business advantages.

While speculative, networks often use high-profile booths to lobby for better game slates, and ESPN did eventually get a better schedule with the addition of Buck and Aikman later.

The Brewers have the World Series sealed

I think the Brewers have this thing sealed up after an insane Monday night where they were just awesome.

Big Cat predicted the Brewers had the World Series sealed up. The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 on October 28, 2026, to win their first World Series championship.

There will be no MLB lockout

They'll figure it out. There's too much at stake. They'll figure it out. It's not 1994 anymore. They'll figure it out.

The transcript is from October 2026 and the provided context does not establish whether MLB games were ultimately missed.

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.
