Drew Brees apologized for the public backlash, not for his actual stance on kneeling

Drew Brees apologized for the backlash like he apologized because he pissed off America. Drew Brees never said, 'I apologize for my stance.' He basically went to bed last night and couldn't sleep. I was uncomfortable probably for one of the few nights in his life. He didn't sleep, right? He was up early today to do this. And hopefully he learns it's not going to be as easy as sending an apology because this is the same stance he had in 2016.

Subjective interpretation of Brees' motives during a period of high national tension.

September 20, 2020 will be the perfect sports day

September 20th is going to be a hell of a day in sports. Yeah, it's going to be the day when all the sports line. We're going to have NBA playoffs. We're going to have hockey playoffs. You've got also golf the US Open that's the final round of that on that day.

On September 20, 2020, there was a full slate of NFL Week 2 games, the final round of the U.S. Open (golf), Game 2 of the NBA Western Conference Finals (Nuggets vs. Lakers), and the Stanley Cup Finals Game 1 was the following day, but MLB and playoffs were in full swing. It was one of the busiest sports days ever.

Hockey is not one of the major four sports

No hockey doesn't count hockey doesn't count. Not one of the major four sports. What's the fourth? MLS?

This is a subjective classification of sports relevance, though the 'Big Four' traditionally includes the NHL.

The NBA return plan is effectively the 'Zion Williamson rule'

The New Orleans Pelicans are right now the 10th seed... they want to figure out a way to get Zion West and I am all for that. It's the Zion rule. Adam Silver could have just gotten in front of the nation and been like 'Hey guys Zion, have you heard of him? Kind of a big deal and we want to make sure that he's involved in this no matter what.'

While Adam Silver never officially called it that, the media consensus was that the play-in inclusion of the 10th-seeded Pelicans was highly beneficial for TV ratings via Zion.

Oregon is college football's biggest disappointment

When you think about cost of roster relative to expectation, relative to reality, yeah, 100%.

'Biggest disappointment' is an evaluative judgment, though Oregon's record and season outcome can provide context.
