The SEC and ACC are 'smart' conferences because they prop up their winners for the playoff

The SEC props up their winners. The ACC, two weeks ago, did exactly this. They literally fucked over Miami and canceled Notre Dame's last game and put them in the championship game because they said... We have a chance to get Clemson and Notre Dame into the college football playoff.

This is a subjective evaluation of conference strategy, but accurately reflects the scheduling maneuvers made by the ACC in 2020.

The Washington Football Team technically controls their own destiny in the NFC East

Washington football team. Do we control our own destiny? No, no, no one controls our own destiny. The giants was concept. Yep... Washington football team's in first place. Tied technically not in first place, but really they're in first place.

Washington did go on to win the NFC East in 2020 with a 7-9 record.

The NFC East might get three teams into the playoffs

I crunched numbers... I went on the ESPN playoff machine for like an hour until I got the equation right. And if Tampa Bay ties the Vikings this week, then the Eagles could also get in... We might get three teams in [the playoffs] Big Cat.

Only the Washington Football Team (7-9) made the playoffs from the NFC East in 2020.

The Washington Football Team and New York Giants are legitimate good teams that could win a playoff game

In all honesty, I think that the NFC East jokes are gone in the fact that whether it be the Washington football team or the New York Giants, both of those teams are good teams that if they get in the playoffs, they could win a game... I'll probably bet on them.

Washington lost their playoff game to Tampa Bay 31-23, and the Giants did not make the playoffs.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
