The Bucks' season was a categorical failure

It's okay to say the Bucks season was a failure. Giannis isn't a failure. None of the players are a failure. Their season was a failure. They were the one seed they had the most wins in the regular season. They were odds on favorites and they got bounced in five games. Right. That's a failure.

By almost any objective sports standard, a 1-seed losing to an 8-seed in the first round is a failure.

Draft Day would be one of the worst movies ever if it didn't have real NFL logos

Draft Day would be maybe one of the worst movies of all time if it didn't have the rights to the exact NFL logos and team names. If they had to make up like a fake NFL league, that movie would suck. Turns out that it rocks because it's like, oh, I recognize the Browns logo.

The movie's popularity is highly tied to its authenticity as an NFL-branded product, supporting the claim.

Will Levis cannot be considered a bust because he was not selected in the top 10 of the NFL Draft.

I actually think it's in a weird way, you can't be a bust if you go, if you don't go in the top 10. So now people won't judge [Will Levis] the same. Now he has time to flourish to be a multi-Super Bowl winner.

The label of 'bust' is subjective, but Levis starting games as a rookie and showing potential suggests he hasn't reached bust status yet, though he was eventually benched in year two.

The Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans won the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The Cardinals and the Texans might have just won the first round draft. I'm gonna give the Texans an A plus because they picked second and third and they got good players.

The Texans drafting the eventual OROY (Stroud) and DROY (Anderson) makes this a very strong take in hindsight.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
