Jimmy Butler's practice takeover in Minnesota was a Jordan-esque move

Jimmy Butler wants to be traded... Jimmy shows up to practice for the first time and basically emasculates the entire organization. He takes the bench players, the third stringers, and beats the first team... I'm a Jimmy Butler skeptic through and through. I'm skeptical of his top 20-ness. But this was a Jordan move.

Subjective comparison to Michael Jordan's legendary intensity.

Eli Manning needs to retire

Sir, Eli Manning, sir. Please retire. I've seen enough. The Giants offensive line is bad, and it's the worst combo possible because the Giants offensive line is bad, and Eli Manning is also a Hall of Fame self-sacker. And he can't – he just – like, it's just not there.

Eli Manning played through the 2019 season before retiring in early 2020.

Eli Manning is a better quarterback than Peyton Manning

Eli had a great career. Two Super Bowls. Yeah, beat Tom Brady. How did that happen? The better Manning. The better of the two Mannings. Easily, in my estimation. Never lost Super Bowl.

This is a subjective legacy argument, though most would disagree based on stats.

Saquon Barkley is the closest modern equivalent to Barry Sanders

Saquon Barkley is absolutely incredible. Breathtakingly so. He is as close to Barry Sanders as we're going to get in terms of that squatty body, huge-ass legs, makes everyone miss.

Barkley won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2018 and has had a prolific, if injury-marred, career.

The Chiefs' window never closed

I don't think we ever actually closed the Chiefs' window. I think Mahomes was just in bed because he was injured, far away from the window.

The Chiefs' long-term contention status is ultimately subjective, though their dynasty remained active at the time of the episode.

Mahomes will be back to himself by season's end

By the end of this season, Mahomes is gonna be back to being Mahomes.

Whether Mahomes returned to his established level by the end of the 2026 NFL season had not yet been resolved.

The Oregon loss could turn Dan Lanning into a psychopath

I don't think that Dan Lanning has slept since that loss. I think Dan Lanning has turned into an absolute psycho because of this loss. He's sick. It actually might be a dangerous thing for the rest of the Big Ten that Oregon lost that game.

Whether the loss made Oregon more dangerous over the rest of the season is a future, testable team-performance claim.
