Jalen Milroe played poorly against Michigan, looking like his early-season self

I thought [Jalen] Milroe stunk today. I thought Milroe looked a lot like old Milroe and not new Milroe. It was frustrating if you're an Alabama fan, he couldn't even connect on like a five, six yard pass. Everything looked a little bit outta sorts. Michigan was able to lean on him a little bit.

Milroe struggled significantly in the Rose Bowl loss to Michigan, completing only 63% of passes for 116 yards and getting sacked six times.

Michael Penix Jr. should be the first quarterback taken in the NFL Draft

Michael Penix [Jr.] should be the first quarterback taken in the draft. He was so good tonight, I think this might be the best college football performance from a quarterback I've seen in a very long time. He was like going back to Cam Newton.

Penix was not the first QB taken; Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake May were all selected before him.

Lefty quarterbacks are harder for defenses to intercept because the ball's spin is different

Isn't it also harder for defenses to intercept a lefty quarterback? ... The spin of the ball. Safety [struggles to] catch it. They don't think about the fact that it's hard for a safety to catch it.

While often cited by defenders as a nuisance, there is no definitive statistical proof that lefty QBs are fundamentally harder to intercept.

Dan Campbell's aggression is acceptable because it is consistent

I think Dan Campbell, it's crazy to all of us. I don't think it's crazy at all to his players. I think he tells his players before the game, here's the plan. If we're ever in this situation, we're going for two. We're trying to win this game... when Dan Campbell's aggressive and consistently aggressive, I'm all for it.

This is a subjective evaluation of a coaching philosophy.

Conor McGregor likely fought on an existing injury and aggravated it during the fight

I think it was probably hurt and probably aggravated it during the fight. Now, would it shock me to know that Conor McGregor tore his ACL in training and then he just pretended that it wasn't hurt? No, that wouldn't surprise me either. But I think it was probably something wrong with it and when he went out there to try to fight on it immediately, just it told him, 'no, you can't do this.'

While confirmed by some medical reports later, the exact state of his knee pre-fight remains a point of debate.

England was the much better team, but Erling Haaland is a one-man squad for Norway

England was a much, much better team. But... that guy that didn't pass the ball to Erling Haaland, give me a break. Haaland, you are a one man team and that's okay.

Subjective opinion on Haaland's role.

The World Cup being expanded to 64 teams is just a monetization play by Gianni Infantino

He wanted to turn it into American sports and he wanted to use this World Cup to learn how we're able to monetize every single facet of our sports. And the fact that it was somebody whispered like, 'Hey, you know, the NCAA tournament they used to do 64, everybody loved that bracket.' He thought about that and he was like, 'that's a great idea. I think I will, I'll try to do that.'

The World Cup expansion is a fact; the motivation is subjective but widely believed to be financial.
