Victor Wembanyama looks like he's going to be the greatest player of all time

Victor Wembanyama has been playing in the preseason and he looks like he's gonna be the greatest player of all time. I've never seen anybody the way he plays basketball. He's crazy... He puts like a dome over the rim. It's insane.

Wembanyama had a historic rookie season, winning ROTY and finishing 2nd in DPOY. It's too early for GOAT status, but the trajectory is elite.

I am not ready to declare the Titans dead because Mike Vrabel always finds a way to win

I'm actually not ready to declare the Titans dead yet. Because Vrabel always will have a game. Vrabel finds a way. The last time they started two and four, you know what they did? I think they made it all the way to the AFC Championship game.

The Titans finished the 2023 season 6-11 and missed the playoffs, effectively being 'dead' shortly after this take.

The Ravens are currently good but lack the killer instinct to be great

I feel like the Ravens are in the good have not figured out how to be great category yet... they're not being able to step on a team's throat... they're not finishing drives and they're not letting teams just kind of linger around.

The Ravens eventually secured the #1 seed in the AFC but lost in the AFC Championship game to the Chiefs, supporting the idea they struggled to finish on the biggest stage.

If the NFL hosts a Super Bowl in London, we should riot and reclaim England as a U.S. territory

If that happens, we riot. If we have to play a Super Bowl in England, we get all of England back as part of the United States. It's the Super Bowl. It's not the International Bowl.

The NFL has continued to explore international games but has not yet scheduled a Super Bowl in London as of 2024.

Tom Brady helping Mike Macdonald prepare for the Patriots would be a huge slap in the face to the New England region.

That would be egregious if that was true. I don't believe it is true. But if it were, that would be unforgivable. Not unforgivable. That would be a, a blemish, a big blemish. Big time. It'd be a slap in the face of the whole region.

Subjective opinion on how a hypothetical rumor would be perceived.

Jayson Tatum is playing cute by claiming he found out about the Jaylen Brown trade on social media.

I'm sure he knew that he was on the trading block and he didn't know specifically when he got traded and he found out just like everyone else... all Brad Stevens, Jaylen Brown, they talked about how, you know, he was gonna be on the trading block and they were gonna try and move him. So I'm sure Jayson Tatum was also aware of that. But in terms of, he's probably playing a little, a little cutesy there where like no one specifically told him, 'Hey, this is the trade.' He found out like everyone else. But I'm sure he was not surprised and fully aware what the plan was.

Subjective interpretation of Tatum's PR framing.
