Anthony Davis is a scrappy, unheralded player rewarded by LeBron James

My baby brown of the week is Anthony Davis because he agreed to a max contract with the L.A. Lakers. Young king coming up in the world... LeBron has given another scrappy, unheralded player like Anthony Davis a huge contract.

Opinion Basketball Scorching SubjectiveSarcastic

It is a satirical characterization of a superstar.

I'm officially abandoning my Drew Lock 'moxie' take

Drew Lock, I'm ready to abandon. I'm not apologizing. I'm ready to abandon my Drew Lock take, the Moxie take. Please advise me for the most elegant way I can dismount from that take without admitting I was wrong about it.

Opinion Football Medium

Drew Lock was eventually traded and became a career backup, confirming Hank's decision to jump ship was correct.

Noah Fant will be an awesome tight end for his second NFL team

I have a take on Noah Fant. I think that Noah Fant is going to be an awesome tight end when he goes to his second team. Yes. That dude is, like, he is baby Eric Ebron... He's just waiting for somebody that – or, like, a decent offense that can get him the ball occasionally.

Prediction Football Medium

Fant was traded to the Seahawks (his second team) in 2022. While he has been a solid starter, he has yet to reach 'awesome' elite tight end status.

Cooper Kupp is the most important player on the Rams

Here's a hot take. Team has Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey on it. Most important player, Cooper Kupp. I mean, they do look totally different when he's out there. Last year, their offense kind of went to shit... I said it.

Hot Take Football Hot

While subjective, Kupp's importance was validated in 2021 when he won the Triple Crown and Super Bowl MVP, proving he was the engine of their championship offense.
