The New England Patriots are going to make the playoffs

My overly direct take is that the New England Patriots are gonna make the playoffs. Love it. Ooh. Yeah. They're gonna make the playoffs.

The Patriots finished the season 4-13 and missed the playoffs.

I would rather be the New England Patriots than the New York Jets right now

Would you rather be in the position of the New England Patriots right now as an organization, as a franchise or the New York Jets? [I say] Patriots. Why is that? Go on. Expound better organizational structure in general, but in terms of right direction. Wrong direction.

This is subjective, but given the Jets' subsequent struggles in 2023 and the Patriots' own spiral leading to Belichick's exit, neither was a 'good' choice, though the Patriots at least didn't have the Rodgers drama immediately.

The Ravens are one of the best teams in the entire league right now

The Ravens are one of the best teams in the entire league right now. So I I'm very much looking forward to seeing how they operate with an awesome passing offense.

The Ravens finished 13-4 and earned the #1 seed in the AFC, confirming they were indeed one of the league's best teams.

Dan Campbell needs to be consistently aggressive instead of shriveling at the end of games

What the fuck was [Dan Campbell] doing at the end of the game when the Lions had the ball at the 50 with all three timeouts down three. And they basically were like, let's play for overtime. That didn't make any sense at all. If you're gonna be aggressive, be aggressive all the time. It's so frustrating when he doesn't do it at the end, when it probably makes the most sense to be aggressive.

This is a tactical critique of a specific game situation, which remains a valid point of debate in NFL coaching strategy.

I'm still rooting against Rory McIlroy at the Masters even after he won last year

I'm still rooting against Rory. If push comes to shove and he's in it on Sunday, I'll be rooting against him.

The Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini story will be an afterthought by the time the NFL season starts

This will be an afterthought by the time the season starts. We're in April. By the time the season starts, we're not even gonna be talking about this.

While the immediate shock passed, the incident remained a point of reference for media integrity discussions throughout the 2024 season, though it did fade from the daily news cycle.

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.
