The Jets vs. Texans game is the 'portal game' that will decide the Jets' season.

The Houston Texans is your portal game. If you beat the Texans, everything is back. If you lose the Texans, shut it down. That's the portal game. And it's just fire sales.

The Jets won the portal game (21-13) but it did not lead to them being 'back' as they lost their next three games.

Brian Thomas Jr. might be the best rookie wide receiver in the NFL.

Brian Thomas might be the best rookie wide receiver now that Malik Nabers missed a couple games. Marvin Harrison is like, either he scores three touchdowns or doesn't catch a ball. Brian Thomas is the real deal looking awesome.

Brian Thomas Jr. finished with a very strong rookie campaign, though Nabers and Harrison Jr. also had elite stretches. It remains a high-level debate.

Tank Bigsby has one of the coolest names in the NFL.

Tank Bigsby deserves more credit for being one of the coolest names in the NFL... His real name is Cartus. Cartus is pretty solid... Cartus Bigsby. He is Cardi B.

Subjective opinion on name quality.

Jared Goff is a legitimate MVP candidate at +850 odds.

Jared Goff plus 850 on DraftKings Sportsbook for MVP. Just saying that... the last two guys who have had a three-game streak of 140 plus passer rating was Aaron Rodgers in 2011 when he won an MVP and Kurt Warner in 1999 when he won an MVP.

Goff remained in the conversation deep into the season, though Lamar Jackson emerged as the heavy favorite.

The intentional-grounding penalty was the right play

I actually think he had, that's an OC problem because there was no underneath route. If he throws that deep and, like, everyone had—it just was a shit show. He couldn't throw it deep because he was basically getting chased. If he takes a sack, everyone has to come back. It probably is more than 10 seconds to get the next play. So that one, I had no problem.

Whether the decision was optimal is an inherently debatable football judgment.

The Colts needed a complete reset after Chris Ballard's firing

Chris Ballard was there for 10 years, never won an AFC South. You finally just—it's inexcusable. The Andrew Luck retirement is probably what bought Chris Ballard a lot more years. He basically could just keep on saying, 'Well, our plans were screwed up because Andrew Luck retired.'

This is an evaluative judgment about a general manager's tenure and cannot be objectively resolved.

The NBA should start on Christmas Day and play 60 games

The NBA should start on Christmas day. It should be a 60-game schedule. It'd be so much better.

This is a preference about league scheduling and cannot be objectively resolved.
