Bill Polian's Hall of Fame success is largely predicated on simply choosing Peyton Manning over Ryan Leaf

He's the architect of the Colts. He drafted Peyton Manning. His biggest career accomplishment is like, 'I didn't take the other guy.' I took Peyton Manning. Good choice, Bill. I'm just going to ride that for the rest of my life. I had one good week of work in the last 30 years and now I just get to coast off that.

While Polian built several Super Bowl contenders, the Manning pick is undeniably the cornerstone of his legacy.

Nick Saban was secretly relieved to lose the National Championship because it provides bulletin board material

I think that there's like a small part of Nick Saban that was kind of relieved that he lost. That was like more rat poison. He's happy that he lost because now he's got all sorts of bulletin board material for next year.

Nick Saban has never expressed relief at losing a national title game; he is known as one of the most competitive coaches in history.

Nick Saban is the greatest coach of all time

He's won it all. He's the greatest coach of all time. Losing one, it's obviously disappointing for Alabama, but man, Georgia, what an unbelievable game.

Nick Saban retired in 2024 with a record seven national championships (six at Alabama, one at LSU), widely cementing him as the greatest in the eyes of the sport's history.

Kirby Smart is sneaky athletic and could probably dunk a basketball

He probably has like a 30 inch vertical leap... I think Kirby sneaky athletic. I think he can get rim.

There is no video evidence of Kirby Smart dunking, but his 5'11" frame and former playing career make a 30-inch vertical plausible but unverified.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.

Christian Pulisic was a 'no-show' and looked like he didn't care against Belgium

Christian Pulisic, the long anointed Captain America future face of this league for American soccer. Absolute no show of a game, I would say worse than a no show of a game. And then he checks himself out. Just looks lackluster, looks like he doesn't care at all. Had the most turnovers on the field of anybody. That played just really, really, really bad.

Subjective evaluation of Pulisic's effort and performance.

The US will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer

People will never close the skill gap. USA will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer.

Historically, the US has struggled to produce technical talent on par with Brazil or Europe.
