The Buccaneers are still top-tier contenders because they can win with their C-game

I'm not going to like ding [the Bucs] for that because... you didn't get a A+ effort from the box and they still won with their C game, which actually is a better sign for... it's like very good. It was a trap game.

The Bucs went on to win the Super Bowl this season, proving Big Cat's 'contender' label correct.

Bill Belichick is actually doing his best coaching job this year

Bill Belichick is actually doing his best coaching job this year... He's not totally wrong when he says [they have no money]. The Patriots are paying Brady, they're paying Antonio Brown still, they're in dead cap space.

The Patriots finished 7-9, their first losing season since 2000. While impressive given the roster, 'best coaching job' is a massive stretch considering his six Super Bowls.

The Saints' cap situation proves Drew Brees has already told the team he will retire

The Saints are like $92 million over the cap next year... How is that even real? Drew Brees has already told them that he will retire. That's the only way they can do that.

Drew Brees did officially retire following the 2020 season, making this correct.

The Saints could destroy the NFL's monopoly by suing over salary cap interference

If the Saints sue the NFL being like, 'Hey, you're interfering with the free market. We should be able to pay people whatever we want.' Then that case goes to like the Supreme Court. NFL loses its monopoly. The Saints could blow up the NFL if they want.

The Saints did not sue the NFL over the cap, nor did it reach the Supreme Court.

Kevin Willard's joke about firing his staff was funny and shouldn't have been taken seriously

It was such a clear joke and people, I couldn't believe... There were people who actually thought he was being serious. I thought it was a funny joke. And then we had the people trying to cover for themselves being like, well, even if it was a joke, that's not a joke you make. Imagine if you're an assistant and you hear your boss say that.

Whether a joke is funny or appropriate is subjective.

The lack of Cinderellas in the tournament isn't due to NIL but because big teams are more efficient and physical

Todd Golden had a very good point... part of the reason why there's less upsets is teams are just getting way more efficient in scoring at the rim and becoming almost like raising their floor and becoming upset proof in the fact that you get really big dudes... and absolutely hammer the boards. And when you do that against smaller schools, you're not gonna like, how do big schools lose the small schools is like three point variance.

This is an analytical opinion on sports trends that can't be definitively proven right or wrong.

The Sweet 16 in Houston won't be a home game for the Cougars because Iowa and Nebraska fans travel too well

Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa have some pretty big fan bases that are all gonna wanna travel, especially Nebraska... I don't think it's gonna be like they're gonna take over the place, but I don't think it's gonna be 80% Houston at this game.

The attendance split of the Sweet 16 regional in Houston will determine this.
