A dominant defensive line can emasculate and ruin the confidence of their own offensive line in practice
I think the fact that their defensive line is so good that they [the Jets offensive line] get their ass kicked every day by a really good defensive line. That's a little bit emasculating. You lose your confidence. ... The Jets should make their defensive line worse so that their offensive line could get better.

View episodeAaron Rodgers is functionally the head coach of the Jets, not Robert Saleh
I walked away from this Hard Knocks episode two, asking myself a simple question. Who's the coach of the Jets? Is it Robert Saleh... or is it Aaron Rodgers? ... Robert Saleh turned to Aaron Rodgers and he said, 'we gotta get them [the O-line] right for you, buddy.' And I said, huh, that's weird. Tail wagging the dog. That feels like Aaron Rodgers is coaching this team.

View profileThe overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension is the smallest piece of justice the United States has ever received from FIFA
The United States has never benefited from FIFA's corruption before, and it feels like we've been left out of that party. If this is our taste of the corruption, and all the corruption is just overturning a suspension that should never have been given in the first place... it's the smallest piece of justice that the United States could ever get from FIFA.
The sensor chips inside soccer balls are bullshit and not perfectly aligned with the cameras
I'm so deep into this chip in the ball thing, I've become convinced that it's all bullshit. The sensors, yes, they're there and yes, they pick up on stuff, but there's no chance that it is perfectly aligned with the 50 cameras that are running concurrently in the stadium on live TV at any given time.
Brandon Aiyuk is in a bad space mentally and will not be signing with the Washington Commanders.
The Washington Commanders have released Brandon [Aiyuk] today from the contract that he didn't sign with us and was never going to sign. Things got kind of weird over the weekend. So [Aiyuk] was saying like talking shit about Jayden's mom... I think that should probably put an end to the Brandon [Aiyuk] to the Commanders rumors. But I was never really on board for it, it's been weird for quite some time with Brandon. I hope he gets whatever help he needs. It doesn't seem like he's in a good space mentally. And it seems like even his best oldest friends have tried to help him and he just burns those bridges too.
