I refuse to count Jayden Daniels' last interception against the Eagles as a real stat.

Jayden played awesome. I thought he played great. We're not counting that last interception. If he throws a pick on this last drive, it doesn't count. I agree with that. It counts for Quinyon Mitchell... but that doesn't go against Jayden's stats in my book.

Subjective fan opinion on how to weight stats.

Vic Fangio is an elite defensive coordinator whose game plan perfectly neutralized Jaden Daniels and the Commanders' offense.

Vic Fangio is an incredible defensive coordinator. It was very clear from the jump that their entire game plan was, let's just take away [Jaden Daniels'] first read and make him go through his progressions... Vic Fangio is just, I mean he's a great defensive coordinator and [he was] dialing up blitzes when he had to.

The Eagles defense held the Commanders to 23 points (much of it in garbage time) and forced multiple turnovers, supporting the claim of a strong game plan.

Nick Sirianni as a head coach, this is his fourth season. He's the first head coach to win the NFC two out of his first four years in the last 40 years. He's 48 and 20 all time, which is the highest winning percentage of any active head coach... Sirianni has proven that he's one of the best coaches in the NFL.

The stats cited are accurate for the time, and he has reached two Super Bowls in four years.

Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.

AJ Brown was not traded to the Patriots in the immediate aftermath of these rumors.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
