The Super Bowl is effectively over if the Eagles give up an early safety

If you start out getting safety and it's two nothing that's game over... Safety would be tough... Two, nothing is absolutely just stop the game Max.

A 2-0 lead is mathematically very surmountable, making this a classic 'game over' hyperbole.

I would want to live to 102 if I owned an NFL team

Unless I own an NFL team, then I do [want to be 102]... Owning an FL team would be sick though. Like, you don't want to die if you're owning an NFL team.

The Lakers are winners of the NBA trade deadline for landing Mark Williams and Luka Doncic

Winner Lakers. Luka also Mark Williams... they did need a big, that feels like a pretty good trade for them... they traded Dalton Knecht and a pick to the Charlotte Hornets, which that was basically a free roll. 'Cause they should have been in the Luka trade.

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.
