The 12-team playoff was a success because it allowed Miami to reach the championship

Miami was very close not making these playoffs. So when we say oh, 12 is too much. Yeah, maybe some years 12 would be too much. But this year we needed it because Miami's in the national championship.

The success of a playoff format is a matter of opinion.

The Miami Hurricanes are officially back

The U, it's all about the U back. Miami Hurricanes are back. Instant classic in the desert. It was what a game.

Miami reached the national championship, lending weight to the claim, though 'back' is subjective.

Mike McDaniel will land a top offensive coordinator job immediately with a team like the Lions, Eagles, or Commanders.

Mike McDaniel is going to get a job instantly and he might get an awesome job. And by that I mean, how would you like coaching the offense of the Detroit Lions? Oh. How would you like coaching the offense of the Philadelphia Eagles? How would you like coaching the offense of the Kansas City Chiefs? How about coaching the offense of the Baltimore Ravens? There are some—oh, and the Washington Commanders.

Big Cat was correct that McDaniel would get a top OC job immediately, but wrong about the specific teams. McDaniel did not go to the Lions, Eagles, or Commanders as specifically named. He was hired by the Chargers as OC. The prediction that he'd land an 'awesome job' quickly was accurate, but none of the five teams Big Cat listed were correct.

The football gods cursed Mike McDaniel for not breaking the NFL single-game scoring record

Mike McDaniel chose not to go for the NFL record at the end of the game [against the Broncos in 2023]. Did not kick a field goal. I believe the football gods cursed him after that moment. The Dolphins went 23 and 25 after that.

While statistical correlation exists (the Dolphins struggled after that high point), 'football gods' are a subjective concept.

UNC is one of the true blue blood jobs in college basketball

This is a job that doesn't come open very often. And it is a true blue blood job... It is the logo of a team that's won a ton of national titles and a ton of Final Fours. It is literally one of the blue bloods.

UNC's historical success, tournament wins, and titles objectively categorize them as a blue blood.

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum - he's a rock star coach

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum. He just wins everywhere. Ben McCollum always talking about toughness. I've fallen hard. I've read a lot of Ben McCollum this last week after beating Florida. This guy fucking rocks.

Subjective opinion on a coach's quality.

The Cubs are the second best team in the NL and will reach the NLCS

I think the Cubs are gonna be really fucking good. I think they're the second best team in the NL so I guess my expectations might be a little too high, but I think they're gonna be really, really good. I think they should definitely win the NL Central and be in the NLCS.

Predicting the Cubs to be the second-best team in the entire National League is a bold stance given the Dodgers and Braves.
