General managers extend their careers by drafting a quarterback and then blaming him for failures

There are two things that a general manager can do to extend his time. One is drafting a quarterback and the other is then placing all the blame on that quarterback that he drafts.

This is a social/professional observation about NFL management cycles that cannot be definitively proven but is frequently cited by fans.

Aaron Rodgers is a diva for returning to the Packers and taking Blake Bortles' job

Aaron Rodgers decided that he was going to be a diva and take Blake Bortles' job. [Bortles] got cut, Aaron Rodgers un-retired. I know deep down I was like he's obviously gonna come back, but I also believed that maybe he would actually retire.

Rodgers did return to Green Bay and Bortles was indeed cut. The characterization of Rodgers as a 'diva' is subjective but widely debated.

Tennis is a lifestyle or a leisure, not a real sport

I would say that tennis is more of an event. Yeah. Tennis is a lifestyle. Not really a sport. If you pick up a sport after you retire, that's not a sport. The thing they always say like, 'Hey, take up golf and tennis because you can play it for your whole life.' Well, that's not a sport. It's a leisure.

This is a hyperbolic, subjective definition of 'sport' used for comedic effect.

The Green Bay Packers are the least desirable team to play for in the NFL

The Green Bay Packers are a classless organization by cutting Blake Bortles. Probably least desirable team to play for in the NFL, according to Aaron Rodgers, not me, Aaron Rodgers. If you're a free agent listening to the show right now, Will Compton, don't you dare go to the Green Bay Packers because they will mistreat you.

Whether they are the 'least desirable' is a matter of opinion, but Rodgers' press conference did objectively highlight many of these internal issues.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
