NFL teams should be allowed to use a draft pick to own the rights to a college coach

Is it possible that you could draft a coach? Could you use a draft pick on a college coach to prevent another team from hiring them to be on their roster? ... If you think that hypothetically the Los Angeles Chargers are going to hire Urban Meyer as coach next year, why wouldn't you if you're in the AFC West draft Urban Meyer and then you have his rights for at least the next year so they can't hire them?

Mike Florio calls in later to confirm this is absolutely not allowed under NFL rules as coaches must be signed to contracts, not drafted like players.

Dennis Rodman made rebounding 'cool' and 'sexy'

I love Dennis Rodman. I've always loved Dennis Rodman. He made rebounding cool. He made rebounding like seem like a sexy thing. He was so fucking incredible.

This is a subjective opinion on the aesthetic or 'cool' factor of a basketball skill.

Dennis Rodman is a role model for finding a niche and becoming the best at it

I actually do think that Dennis Rodman is role model in a weird way in that if you can figure out something that you're the best at, it doesn't matter what weird little niche category it is in life. If there's one thing that you're better than everybody else that are more focused on, steer into that and get well really, really good at that and be known as the best to ever do that and you will be extremely successful.

The value of specializing in a niche is a widely accepted business and success philosophy, though calling Rodman a 'role model' is the provocative part.

Michael Jordan's switch-hand layup against the Lakers was completely unnecessary

The layup that Michael Jordan had in the finals against the Lakers where he jumps in the air and switches hands—completely unnecessary to do that. It's a cool-looking highlight, he didn't need to do that. You could have just done a finger roll with his right hand; he switched to his left hand because it looked cool.

While physically true (he had a clear right-handed lane), the take is a value judgment on the necessity of style.

The Rams' Australia travel plan was an all-time 'fuck it' move

It was a terrible idea that Sean McVay tried to do, but I have to respect how much of an all-time fuck-it move it was to just pretend that time zones don't exist. He was just like, you know what, fuck it, we're not gonna adapt. We're gonna fly in, fly out.

The Rams lost the Australia opener after using the fly-in/fly-out approach, supporting the criticism in this game-specific judgment.

KOC will get the best out of Kyler Murray

I think that what he's gonna get the absolute best outta Kyler Murray that he possibly can at this point, which I think should be good enough to be a pretty good team this year.

Kyler Murray's 2026 season and Minnesota's performance will determine whether this forecast holds.

Jayden Daniels is going to remind everyone that the bad man is back

I think Jayden Daniels, he's as healthy as he has been since the start of last season. ... I think that he's gonna remind a lot of people who he is. Yeah. That's what I think. I think the bad man might be back.

Daniels' 2026 season will determine whether he re-established himself as an elite or feared quarterback.
