NIL is setting up some 18-year-old players for failure

I think we're setting them up for failure, right? So like one of these kids that, you know, makes a hundred his first year... and his senior year, he makes 1.5 million. And maybe he makes it in the NFL, maybe he doesn't and he is gotta go to work for, for a national rental car for 85,000 and he can't process it. Right? That's the the thing that's coming.

Social and psychological observation that is difficult to definitively prove but carries industry weight.

A $5,000 ticket to Game 4 of the Knicks-Spurs Finals was actually a bargain

The $5,000 get in price was actually a bargain if you went to that game and you're a Knicks fan because what you got was probably the best night of, of your life... sports will not get any better than that, than if you paid five grand to go to Madison Square Garden last night.

The Knicks had a historic comeback in Game 4 of the 2026 Finals. Value is subjective but the event was undeniably historic.

No lead is too big against the Knicks

There's no lead that's too big... against The Knicks. It's not like a fluke. It's, this is what this Knicks team is. They are a team that, that, that will step up in big moments and not give in.

Subjective assessment of team identity, though backed by their performance in the 2026 playoffs.

The San Antonio Spurs are the stupidest good team in the NBA

The Spurs are the stupidest team. They're the stupidest good team that I've ever seen. And they're consistently stupid in big moments.

College football needs to adopt a draft, a salary cap, and performance-based scheduling to fix the sport

The NFL has some three good things that go on for 'em. They have the draft, they have a salary cap and they have a scheduling that rotates every year based on your performance. Those are three really good things that have made the NFL what it is. And I think the more we pay attention to that in college football, I think the better we be as well.

Subjective opinion on the structure of college football.

The College Football Playoff should expand to 24 teams

I think anybody has to understand like there is no time in college football, in my opinion, where the 16th team or the 18th team in the country could possibly win it all... I think the numbers 24... the more you can include... the better we be as well.

This is a subjective opinion on the optimal size of a playoff system.

Indiana Football has the best coordinators in the country

I told my coaches... I said, Hey, these coordinators... they know what you're gonna do before you know what you're gonna do. I think those two guys offensively and defensively are the best I've ever seen in all of college football.
