Joe Judge is pulling an 'Andy Bernard' routine by mirroring everything Dave Gettleman wants to hear to keep his job.

I have a theory about Joe Judge, the coach of the New York football Giants. I think that he is very good at pulling like an Andy Bernard... I think he just saw [Dave] Gettleman and he was like, 'This is a mark right here. I can say everything that Gettleman wants to hear and I'll get hired.' So I think that Joe Judge is going to live out the next couple years of his life just basically trying to be Gettleman's wet dream of head coach.

Opinion Football Medium

Judge was widely criticized for a rigid, outdated coaching style that mirrored Gettleman's old-school philosophy and was fired after a 10-23 record.

The mockery of NFL Combine hand size measurements has gone too far; it actually matters for quarterback performance.

I think the pendulum has swung so far into mocking combine season. I actually hate it now... It might not directly correlate, but would you not rather have a guy with a bigger hand than a smaller hand? There is absolutely a benefit to having a big hand if you're trying to grip a football in the rain or cold.

Opinion Football Medium Subjective

The value of hand size in the NFL remains a debated analytical topic, with most data suggesting it has little to no correlation with success or fumble rates.

Joe Burrow is using 'Galaxy Brain' reverse psychology on the Bengals by saying he would play for them.

I think that this is Galaxy brain [Joe] Burrow because I think that he is showing intentionally such poor vision making process that he says that he will play for the Bengals that the Bengals be like, 'oh fuck. We don't we don't want them.' Why would anyone play for us? That's not our kind.

Burrow did play for the Bengals and led them to a Super Bowl, proving he was not using reverse psychology to avoid them.

In the modern NFL, having a transcendental offense is better than having a very good defense.

I'd say that having a transcendental offense is probably better usually than having a very good defense because it's extremely hard to put together all the pieces on defense... just one of those easy things to just be like, 'Hey, we want to have an explosive offense.'
