I'm not getting off the Graham Mertz train

The Badgers fell on their face. I'm still going to believe in Graham Mertz. I'm not going to get off this train. That sucked, though.

College football should go back to starting with 'cupcake' games

My only real takeaway is like the first game change that they've made where you have to play conference opponents sucks. I don't like it. I really liked starting the season against like South Florida or UNLV or Akron or someone and putting up like 60 points and not even having to turn my brain on until like the third or fourth week is September. I don't like this. I want the cupcakes back.

I am convinced CJ Stroud will always suck at quarterback and I will not get off this take

I'm convinced, no matter what, that CJ Stroud will always suck at quarterback just because of how poorly he played in the first half... trust me, I will not get off this take. It's burned. It's seared into my brain. He's bad.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.
