NIL and the transfer portal will not ruin college football in the long run

We'll look back in 10 years and be like, remember when we thought NIL was going to ruin college football? No, it didn't. It's fine. Remember when opt outs were going to ruin college football? No, it didn't. It's fine. It's just right now people think the sky is falling.

This is a long-term prediction about the health of a sport; we are currently only 2-3 years into this era.

Antonio Brown and Bruce Arians are likely both at fault for the Buccaneers drama

I think the truth is probably Antonio Brown and Bruce Arians are both assholes. Like that might be the truth because it seems like a lot of people are taking the side of Antonio Brown because you have to take the side of player safety... Bruce Arians never wanted Antonio Brown on the Bucs. That was Tom Brady's idea. So it's not totally unbelievable that Bruce Arians would be like, 'You're outta here because you won't go back in the game.'

The truth remains somewhat obscured, but both parties moved on contentiously, confirming a breakdown in the relationship as Big Cat suggested.

Antonio Brown will not be back on an NFL team

I don't think Antonio Brown will be back on an NFL team. I guess you can never say never... but I don't think he's going anywhere.

Antonio Brown never played in the NFL again after his release from the Buccaneers following the January 2, 2022 game against the Jets.

Intentional losing is a valid strategy for the PMT road trip competition

I want to miss all these picks. So feel free to fade me. I'm taking the over though. Colts Jags 44 points... I don't know why you're upset that I want to go on a road trip.

Subjective strategy for a show-specific competition.

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.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
