The NFL should replace all officials with combat veterans and Navy SEALs

Jay Glazer... has maybe the greatest idea ever. Hire all new officials—all combat veterans, special operations backgrounds, go hire a bunch of Navy SEALs, Marine Recon, Delta Force, those guys. They literally can react faster than the rest of the world, even when bullets are flying... and also coaches will be a little less inclined to rip into them out on the sideline.

This has never been implemented and likely never will be due to technical training requirements.

Antonio Brown is the hero to the working man

[Antonio Brown] is the hero to the working man... he basically signed a contract two years ago, got a bunch of guaranteed money, when the guaranteed money ran out he's like 'I want a new deal' and then he got it.

While subjective, the 'working man' label for a multi-millionaire WR is ironically intended.

Derek Carr will not be the Raiders' quarterback going forward; Jon Gruden will draft Kyler Murray

There's no way that Derek Carr is going to be the quarterback going forward, right? I'm saying [Jon Gruden] is going to get Kyler Murray. I think he's going to put all those chips [in the middle].

Derek Carr remained the Raiders' starting quarterback until 2022, and Kyler Murray was drafted #1 overall by the Cardinals.

Antonio Brown will either be great for the Raiders or destroy them before they move to Vegas

[Antonio Brown] is so weird and so bizarre that he's either going to be great for the team or he's going to destroy the team before they move to Vegas.

Antonio Brown effectively destroyed his tenure before it started, being released before the first game after a series of bizarre incidents. 'Destroyed the team' is the correct half of the binary.

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.
