Robert Griffin III performs best when there are no expectations

He performs really well when he has low expectations. So I think it's a good fit for that. Like he went to Baylor. Nobody expected him to do shit at Baylor. Played well there. Played well his first year in Washington. I mean, nobody expects a Redskins quarterback to be very good. And then once they got to the playoffs, all of a sudden he had expectations.

While RG3 was a Heisman winner (high expectations), his first year in Washington was a surprise success. However, his tenure in Cleveland was a failure, starting only 5 games.

Robert Griffin III's career will eventually be ended by a massive staph infection in the Browns' locker room

That is probably the last locker room that you want to be in if you're recovering from like a knee surgery... I could see this going very poorly for [Griffin]. Like he has some minor surgery in the off season and then his career is ended by a massive staph infection.

While Griffin's career was ultimately derailed by injuries (including a shoulder injury in his first Browns start), it was not ended by a staph infection.

Robert Griffin III will start 6-8 games for the Browns, win three, and become a career backup after getting injured

Griffin will start six to eight games this year, and he'll win three of them. So it'll be like RG three and three. And then he'll get injured again, and then they'll bring in, you know, whichever quarterback that they draft at the second overall pick. And then Griffin will just be on the bench again, and then he'll be a career backup after that.

RG3 started 5 games for the Browns in 2016, went 1-4, and was placed on IR after Week 1. He did indeed spend the rest of his career as a backup for the Ravens.

The NFL told the Rams they wouldn't have to do 'Hard Knocks' if they drafted Michael Sam

What came out yesterday was that the Rams, when they were drafting him [Michael Sam], they got a call from the NFL league office and the NFL said, hey, if you draft Michael Sam, we won't make you do Hard Knocks because they were one of like three or four teams that could possibly do Hard Knocks that year. And so they drafted Michael Sam. This report says to avoid having the HBO cameras in their locker room the whole time.

Both Jeff Fisher and the NFL vehemently denied this report. Howard Balzer, who reported it, stood by it, but it remains a disputed conspiracy rather than a proven fact.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
