The University of Iowa is the real Tight End U.

It's Iowa [that is Tight End U]. I got Dallas Clark on my shirt right now for a reason, baby... I got Hawkinson. I got Fant in the first round. Never before done.

The 'Tight End U' title is a subjective debate among college football fans.

The Process is officially dead.

Today is Monday, June 21st, and the process is dead. We had a good run. This was going to be the postseason where we judged whether or not processes actually work. Turns out they don't.

The core 'Process' era essentially ended here; the team subsequently traded Ben Simmons and failed to reach the ECF in the following years.

Ben Simmons proves that you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

I always thought that saying the Wayne Gretzky-Michael Scott quote didn't really make that much sense. [Ben Simmons] actually proves that you do, in fact, miss 100% of the shots that you don't take.

Simmons famously attempted zero fourth-quarter field goals in the final four games of the series.

Ben Simmons will still have trade value because a team will believe they can fix him.

I think [Ben Simmons] still will have trade value because someone will think, I can fix that. I can make him better because he still has elite levels to his game. It's just the whole point of shooting a basketball into a hoop is the game, and he just doesn't want to do that.

Correct; Simmons was eventually traded to the Nets in a blockbuster deal for James Harden in February 2022.

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.
