An ugly win provides a bigger confidence boost than a pretty close win

An ugly win is actually worth more than a pretty close win. Because if you can win ugly, that's like a confidence boost. Like, okay, we didn't have our stuff [but we still won].

The Dodgers' bullpen is their one true weakness

The bullpen wasn't great for the Dodgers. That's their one weakness that they have. Bullpen pitchers are just pitchers that couldn't be starting pitchers.

Opinion Baseball Mild

The Dodgers bullpen struggled in the 2018 World Series, particularly in Game 4 where they blew a 4-0 lead.

Eli Manning is no longer a good quarterback

Eli Manning is not a good quarterback anymore... That means he was a good quarterback, two Super Bowl rings, Hall of Famer, all that stuff. He's not a good quarterback anymore, and I can't stand the offensive line talk because, yes, the offensive line is bad, but Eli Manning is the king of pressures coming, just turtle, and not look downfield.

Opinion Football Medium

Eli Manning's stats and eye test in 2018-2019 confirmed he was at the end of his career.

Archie Manning is the Kris Jenner of football

I think Archie Manning is the Kris Jenner of football... He really is. I agree with that. He has made it so that Peyton Manning... when he put his balls on someone's face? That one got erased. The Eli Manning fraud... when he was selling fake jewelry, that one got erased... Archie Manning, he is basically controlling the narrative of the Manning family and getting it to a point where I actually think the Giants ownership is afraid to bench Eli.

Hot Take Football Hot

While largely satirical, the Manning family does wield significant influence in football circles. Eli was eventually benched for Daniel Jones later in 2019.
