The NBA's 65-game award rule was specifically created because of Joel Embiid

It's a thousand percent... it's literally the Joel Embiid rule. No, this rule was made because of Joel Embiid. They made the rule because of Joel Embiid because people were upset that he won the MVP and they didn't think that he played enough games.

While the rule was spurred by 'load management' trends, Embiid played 66 games in his MVP season, meaning he would have qualified under the current rule anyway.

The NFL has a 'pretty boy' coaching problem where everyone looks like Sean McVay

The McVay tree has made offensive football fantastic in the NFL, but it's also made a bunch of pretty boys who all wear the same shade of blue. And thank God Mike McCarthy, Big Mike, is back because we needed someone like that, an old school football guy who forgot to button one of his buttons. But this is what the new NFL is: pretty boys.

This is a subjective observation about the visual trend and hiring patterns in the NFL.

The Philadelphia 76ers make the most basketball sense for LeBron James in free agency.

I think it's the Cavs, but I'm reading every report in hopes that it's a Sixers. So I, I just, in my heart of hearts, I can't support Cavs when I want it to be Sixers... Basketball wise, it makes the most sense for sure. I mean it's the one thing that the Sixers are missing. They need, like they don't have a, LeBron could be like a true point guard and be a facilitator for the good players on the, for the stars on the team. And he's a four that could defend multiple positions.

This is inherently subjective, as he is arguing about what makes the 'most sense' rather than strictly predicting where LeBron will sign.
