The Tigers bringing back Justin Verlander is PR 101 to distract from their arbitration loss

Speaking of PR 101, this feels like PR 101 from the Tigers who have signed Justin Verlander... I feel like after it's like, hey, we didn't like the... arbitration. They were like, 'oh, our fans hate us. Let's bring back Verlander.'

The Tigers signed Verlander shortly after losing a high-profile arbitration case, fitting the PR pattern Hank describes.

The Patriots are built for a long-term fight for the future

I'm excited going forward. Like I, I have never been, you know, I'm bought into this Patriots team. I'm excited for the future... knowing that there is the community of Patriots fans where it's like... going forward, we're, we're ready to fight. We're ready to keep fighting.

Subjective optimism about a franchise's direction.

Sam Darnold is officially confirmed as a franchise 'guy' per the Todd Bowles 100-game rule

Did you see Todd Bowles was prophetic... after Sam Darnold was drafted... they asked him do they have a guy? And he said, 'I don't know if we have a guy, ask me again in like a hundred games.' The Super Bowl was [Sam Darnold's] hundred and first game. So we do confirmed to have a guy. Todd Bowles saw it. Yes.

Sam Darnold won the Super Bowl in his 101st game, fulfilling the condition of Todd Bowles' famous quote about evaluating quarterbacks.

Going to Disney World after winning the Super Bowl is actually a punishment

The Disney world thing that they have to do is just punishment. Sam Darnold and Kenneth Walker being in the teacups right after the game when it's like all you wanna do is party with your boys. That sucks.

This is a subjective take on personal preference.

Aaron Rai is a boring PGA Championship winner

Aaron Rai, nice guy, great story. Okay. Boring as hell, boring winner... Nothing happened Sunday... Great crowd, great venue, great fans, great leaderboard going into Sunday. Disappointing finish.

Entertainment value is subjective.
