NFL tight ends are significantly underpaid relative to their production compared to wide receivers

Travis Kelce is either first or second behind Devonte Adams of most receiving yards in the last six years. And he pays half of what the best wide receivers are paid. And so that kind of seems like it's just water in the bridge... he plays tight end and you don't really get a lot of attention and stuff.

This is a factual observation regarding NFL salary cap structures and market value for the position.

Jajuan Howard is the new Coach Calipari because he underachieves despite producing lottery picks

Jajuan Howard's the new coach Cal, that is what made me feel really, really old was Jajuan Howard has a son that just got drafted in the NBA... you see a loaded team [Michigan] get picked and you're like, wait, they weren't in the tournament. That's weird.

Michigan's struggles continued despite high-level talent, and Howard was fired in March 2024 after a 8-24 season.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is the perfect fit for the Heat culture

Jaime Jaquez to the Heat, like perfect Heat culture. He's going to have a series probably next NBA playoffs where he somehow averages like 25 points a game out of nowhere... he is the perfect Heat culture guy and he will be a very good player in the NBA because he got drafted by the Heat.

Jaquez had an excellent rookie season (11.9 PPG, 3.8 RPG) and made the NBA All-Rookie First Team, proving to be an immediate rotation piece.

Brandon Miller is a genius for claiming Paul George is his GOAT so he wouldn't offend Michael Jordan

I think Brandon Miller is kind of a genius. They interviewed him the other day and he said that his GOAT, his favorite player in NBA history is Paul George. That to me tells me he's thinking two steps ahead because he knew that Charlotte wanted to draft him... He knew that he could not say that it was LeBron James because Michael Jordan is still very much involved in the draft process for Charlotte.

The Hornets did draft Miller at #2. Whether he did it for that specific reason is subjective, but Miller has consistently maintained his Paul George take since.

90% of NFL players prefer grass fields; teams should install them everywhere

Put me on a soapbox man. I mean, if you can put grass in MetLife and in SoFi, I think you could do that year-round if you really gave a shit... I think if you polled every single player, I would say probably 90% would prefer grass field. Why not just spend a couple extra million dollars? Which you, we know they all have. Just grass all the fields. It doesn't seem that difficult.

Surveys by the NFLPA consistently show a vast majority of players prefer natural grass over artificial turf.

Victor Wembanyama would struggle at tight end because his height creates a huge target area for safeties to hit

If he was only running a fade? Yeah, maybe. I think part of me thinks he would get the hell jammed out of him at the line of scrimmage though. ... Not a lot of base. And also if he tried to run like a crossing route across the middle, I think his, he's getting taken out pretty quickly. ... Like if you're a receiver or a tight end and you're over six six, you're that, that like your ankle to like hip, that's a huge target for safeties to just run through.

Subjective sports crossover hypothetical.

LeBron James would be a hell of a left tackle

LeBron would be a hell of a left tackle. He'd be an, he'd be a really good left tackle. If he just did like the Trent Williams ninja stuff where he just swats and swipes people's faces out of the way. I think he could handle it.

This is a hypothetical sports debate that can never be proven.
