Justin Herbert is the best quarterback in the NFL.

So Justin Herbert, best quarterback in the NFL. He's pretty good.

Subjective; while Herbert had a historic rookie season, he was not statistically the #1 QB in the league (Mahomes and Rodgers were higher).

Derek Carr has officially improved and we need to stop thinking of him as mediocre.

There is definitely like an old Derek Carr thing that we have in our brain that we have to move past and be like, he's actually just good.

Carr had a strong statistical season in 2020 (4,103 yards, 27 TDs, 9 INTs), largely validating the 'good' label.

The Raiders are the team the Chiefs don't want to face in the playoffs and could make a run like the 2019 Titans.

The Raiders are, I would say, the team that the Chiefs don't want to face in the playoffs... they feel like a team that has enough going for them that they could make some—I'm putting them in my 'make some noise.' I could see the Raiders making a similar run [to the 2019 Titans] this year.

The Raiders finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

We need to stop making fun of Jon Gruden because he is actually a very good head coach.

John Gruden, it's time for us to forget about all the fun that we've made of John Gruden because he's actually like a very good head coach. I don't know [if he's worth 10 years, $100 million], but was John Gruden in his bag tonight? Yeah... He coached as good a game against the Chiefs as I think you can do pretty much.

The Raiders finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs in 2020, and Gruden resigned midway through the following season. His tenure is generally viewed as a failure relative to the contract.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

The Celtics are no longer eligible to be the NBA's team of the 2020s without Jaylen Brown

If the Celtics rebuild and they get back to like the NBA finals, let's say in like 2029, let's say they win another chip in 2029, that's a different team. Like the core is completely different without Jalen Brown. I don't know that you could consider the Celtics to ever even be eligible for team of the 2020s. Because it's gonna be two different iterations of the team.

Inherently subjective criteria for what constitutes a 'team of the decade'.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

This is a subjective opinion on sporting rules.
