Tua Tagovailoa wouldn't get a massive contract on the open market

Tua I think goes into a different category as well. ... I don't think the Dolphins want to pay something that starts with a five. And you have to wonder, will they just say Tua go ahead because ask yourself that question. If Tua is available to anyone who wants him, what are they gonna pay? Yeah. What's it gonna get on the open market? And I feel like one of these days one of these teams is gonna draw that line in the saying.

The Dolphins did not 'dare' him; they signed Tua to a 4-year, $212.4 million extension in July 2024, with an average annual value of $53.1 million (starting with a five), contradicting Florio's skepticism.

The Celtics will win Game 5 by a lot

Celtics I think are six and a half point favorites on Monday night. I believe they're gonna win by a lot.

The Celtics won Game 5 106-88 (an 18-point margin), covering the spread easily and winning by a lot.

Every athlete should get one pass per year to skip the media after a loss

I think that every athlete should get one a year where they can just say, I'm I'm not doing this and, and this you, you and if you, if you don't use it, you lose it. So you don't get carryover, but you get one a year where you can just be like, Nope, no moss, I can't do it. Because I would, if I were Rory and I had to sit there and have Bryson come up to me and be like, that was an incredible fight you put up, you know what? Oh, you played so great. I wish two of us could have won this. And then go sit and have some reporter say, Rory, talk me through what happened with that putt that you missed. I kill myself.

This is a subjective proposal for a rule change in sports media protocols.

Rory McIlroy's tire spinning exit gave reporters a better story than a boring press conference would have

The media gets so mad after Claire. And then they have all their articles about how this person didn't give them anything to write about. Right. And he actually, Rory gave everybody so much more stuff to write about. Right. So much more stuff to talk about by not answering questions than he did if he had stuck around and just given like deadpan answers of credit to Bryce. And he played really, really well. Of course I'm disappointed. Very upset that I missed those puts, you know? Yeah. It's one of those things, golf's a hard game. That's what Rory would've said.

This is a subjective analysis of media dynamics.

The Chargers could beat the Chiefs on Correction Sunday

Could it be something as drastic as the Chargers beating the Chiefs, the Chiefs at four and oh, the Chargers at oh and five? I think it's only been three times since the merger that a team four and oh or better has lost to a team oh and four or worse.

Mike Florio predicted the Chargers would beat the Chiefs. However, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6 in their Week 6 matchup on October 18, 2026. The Chiefs remained undefeated at 5-0, while the Chargers fell to 0-6.

Someone will be fired if the Chargers start 0-6

The Chargers are never gonna be any more desperate than they are on Sunday, because their bye week comes next. And I assume somebody's getting fired. If they lose, whether it's Mike McDaniel, whether it's all the way up to Jim Harbaugh, I don't know, but I assume somebody's out if they go oh and six into the bye.

Whether a Chargers coach was fired after an 0-6 start is resolved after the bye week.

Josh Jacobs may not play again until the NFL sees the video

If I'm the NFL, my position is, hey man, you're not playing again until we see this. ... I think that's gonna keep this paid leave extended beyond Week 6 for Josh Jacobs.

Jacobs' playing status and the NFL's response would determine whether the paid leave continued beyond Week 6.
