Coach K blocked Tommy Amaker from the Duke head coaching job to protect Jon Scheyer's career

There's a report coming out a new book that Tommy Amaker was going to be named next head coach of duke... and coach K got on a zoom with them and essentially said, I can't have you taking this job because that would set John shier back in his career. So we want you to take your name out of consideration and out of respect for coach K Tommy Amaker realized that this job search thing was apparently he had been offered the job already until coach K stepped in.

The book 'Coach K: The Rise and Reign of Mike Krzyzewski' by Ian O'Connor indeed reported this specific interference.

Chet Holmgren is very good but he looks like he will get eaten alive by real men in the paint

Chet Holmgren... is like the skinniest dude ever. And people get really mad because... your reaction is going to be, I actually would like to see you do, this is like this guy's, this guy's going to be soft when he plays against real men... he is really fucking good... but it's impossible to watch him once and not be like, oh, he's going to get eaten alive.

Holmgren has been an elite defender in the NBA, though his frame remains a talking point; he hasn't been 'eaten alive' in the way predicted.

If Odell Beckham Jr. does not get hurt, the Rams win the Super Bowl by 10 points

I also think if you want to do a, what if I, what if, what if Odell Beckham doesn't get hurt? Did the Rams run by 10? Like they were looking back at that game. They had three drives or it might've been four drives two punts, two touchdowns. But the two touchdowns were very easy. One Soto [Odell] Beckham goes out. They don't, they don't do anything until that last drive.

Subjective 'what if' scenario about an injury in a completed game.

NFL quarterbacks should bring a 'losing suit' to games so they don't look ridiculous in flamboyant outfits after a loss

I think that every quarterback should have a winning suit and a losing suit. And it's, it's equally to me as a fan of respecting the media. It's equally as disrespectful. When a quarterback who just won isn't dressed up like Cruella, Deville... I don't want a winning quarterback to be wearing like a tattered t-shirt and sweat pants. [Joe Burrow] should have brought a losing pair of clothes to the game because it did look... sad when he was walking out with a limp, losing the super bowl and a zebra suit.

Subjective opinion on NFL etiquette and fashion.

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
