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.

Joe Brady looks like the guy in high school who sells you a shitty bag of weed

Purely subjective 'looks like' humor.

The Eagles Aren't an NFL Team Right Now

It's not an NFL football team right now. There's just not very many good football players on that football team right now.

This is an intentionally broad evaluation of the Eagles' current quality and is subjective.

The Eagles should have trusted their defense and kicked it out of the end zone

You just kick it out of bounds. You kick it into the end zone. All you have to do at that point is defend the sideline. Anything in play is game over. And the defense has been so fucking good all game. Why are you overthinking it? Just fucking do it. Put the ball in the fucking end zone and trust your fucking defense.

This is an evaluative coaching opinion that cannot be definitively judged.
