Lacrosse is booming and the sales are up

My cool throne is lacrosse. Nike chairman Phil Knight, he was commenting on the Duke Florida game the other day, and he said, lacrosse is growing. So the sales are up. They're growing, not a show. Business is booming.

Lacrosse has seen steady growth, but 'business is booming' is a subjective assessment of the sport's professional trajectory.

Ben McAdoo benching Eli Manning for Geno Smith is performance art

If you have fucked up your job so badly that Geno Smith is the answer to whatever your problem is... that is performance art. It is hilarious to me. So Ben McAdoo, I know you probably didn't mean to screw up this badly, but thank you for doing it.

The move was widely panned and both Ben McAdoo and GM Jerry Reese were fired just days later, confirming the 'performance art' level of failure.

Pittsburgh might be the Garden of Eden

I've said it before about Pittsburgh, three rivers meeting, the Garden of Eden in the Bible. It was at the connection of three rivers. Pittsburgh might be the Garden of Eden.

The location of the biblical Garden of Eden is a matter of myth and theological debate, though it is widely accepted to not be in Western Pennsylvania.

Eli Manning will go to Denver and win a Super Bowl

Here's my prediction. You ready for this? A Manning family tradition. Goes to Denver. Wins the Super Bowl.

Eli Manning never played for the Denver Broncos; he remained with the Giants until his retirement in early 2020.

The Jets can't build a winning culture

You just can't. It's hard to build a winning culture ever. It doesn't matter what you're doing if you're the Jets.

This is a deliberately broad franchise judgment rather than a claim that can be definitively proven or disproven.

The WNBA badly mishandled its Finals scheduling

Instead of doing it in an arena where it's like a 5,000 capacity arena, they could have done it at the regular time. They chose to do 12:30 in the afternoon.

This is a judgment about scheduling strategy and is subjective.

There is real tension between Jalen Brown and the Celtics

I don't think it's Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown really have personal beef. I think it's just, you know, Jalen Brown, Celtics, and that's turning into Jason Tatum in some ways. But I think there's definitely beef between Jalen Brown and the Celtics organization.

The existence and extent of internal tension is not definitively verifiable from the transcript alone.
