The Chargers will never win a close game; it's the arrow paradox

I don't understand it how they can do this every single week... It's the arrow Paradox... like an arrow will never get totally from me to you if I shot you with an arrow because it would have to travel half the distance to you... that's how the Chargers keep getting closer and closer to winning a close game and they never they're just never going to win a close game.

The 2020 Chargers finished 7-9, with almost all losses being by one score, continuing their reputation for close losses.

The Bucs' blowout loss to the Saints was so bad they should just throw out the tape and move on

Is it better that the Bucs lost so bad that they can just throw this one out? You throw the tape out. Bruce Arians is not going to take this game seriously... he is going to hit the delete button on it. I'm also concerned just with his sideline appearance in general... it appears that Bruce Arians has a bomb strapped to his chest at all times.

The Bucs actually did bounce back and eventually beat the Saints in the playoffs on their way to a Super Bowl win, proving that throwing out the tape was the right move.

I wouldn't give Russell Wilson an MVP vote right now because Patrick Mahomes is better

Russell Wilson is not the MVP. Patrick Mahomes is starting to play incredible football. He's like so Patrick Mahomes is 25 touchdowns one interception... if I had to do the MVP voting right this second, I wouldn't give Russell Wilson an MVP vote.

Russell Wilson ended up finishing the 2020 season with zero MVP votes again. Aaron Rodgers won the award.

If you take Russell Wilson off the Seahawks, they would be the West Coast Dallas Cowboys

I think you can make the argument that because his defense is so bad that that is actually saying that Russell Wilson... is the most valuable player in that if you were to take him off of his team... they would be the West Coast Dallas Cowboys, right? Except way way way worse.

This is a subjective comparison of team value, but Wilson's subsequent departure years later did result in a decline for Seattle, though not quite to Cowboys levels.

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 series has just begun as of the episode date.
