Dak Prescott is more likely to airmail a pass than hit a receiver in the numbers on throws over 12 yards

Dak Prescott sucked [today]. He's airmailing. He does this thing where if he has to throw a pass, it's further than like... I'm going to say 12 yards downfield. He's more likely to miss the guy high by three feet than he is to hit him in the numbers.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's accuracy profile, though Dak's passing metrics in 2018 were middle-of-the-pack.

I would not swap Mitchell Trubisky for Aaron Rodgers if it meant swapping their contracts

[If asked to swap Mitchell Trubisky for Aaron Rodgers and their contracts] No. No. If we had to swap contracts, it would be over the cap... So our defense wouldn't be as good. We're going to play some defense. We're going to run the ball.

This is a subjective roster management strategy, though history showed that Rodgers remained elite while Trubisky struggled to maintain a starting role.

Sean McVay's photographic memory is actually a curse when things go poorly

I think Sean McVay's photographic memory is a blessing and a curse because what do they always say? You have to have a short memory to get past the fucked up plays. So having a photographic memory is great when things are going really well. But then when things go really poorly, that's all you think about.

McVay would eventually overcome these slumps to win a Super Bowl, proving his memory isn't an insurmountable curse.

The Eagles cannot go back to Carson Wentz if Nick Foles runs the table and makes the playoffs

If Nick Foles runs the table here and the Eagles get into the playoffs and let's say he wins a game or two, how can you go back to Carson Wentz? This guy, like, that was a game 13.5-point underdogs. Everyone said the Eagles season was over. He's throwing jump balls to Alshon Jeffrey. He's getting the offense going.

Foles did lead them to the playoffs and won a wild card game (Double Doink), but the Eagles eventually stuck with Wentz before trading him years later.

The Rays are playing an exciting brand of baseball

It's a very, very exciting brand of baseball. And I'm gonna miss it when it's over. So I did not wanna sweep, so thank you.

This is a subjective assessment of style and cannot be definitively judged.

The Cowboys are a bad football team

The Cowboys are a bad football team. And I can't wait for people to start to say like, this is when, look at the schedule. Dallas is gonna put some wins together.

The quality of a team is partly evaluative, though the season's playoff result could test the narrower claim that Dallas is not a serious championship threat.

Performance-enhancing drug shortages may explain dominant teams falling off

There started to be severe, severe supply chain issues when it came to performance enhancing drugs and peptide shipments coming to the United States. I just think it's interesting.

This speculative causal theory is not established by the transcript or otherwise verifiable from the available context.
