The Detroit Lions will be a better football team this year

I think the [Lions] will be better this year, but [Dan Campbell], the way he talks to his team, like the fact that he's always on the verge of crying football guy tears, he's always on the verge of crying. Holy shit, can that guy fire up a team?

You can't be upset that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are trying to run the Nets after you gave them ownership of the team

You gave Kevin Durant basically ownership of this team. You can't be like, 'Oh my God, how could this happen? He wants everyone fired.' You gave them the team. You can't be upset that now the guys who you gave the team to are trying to run the team.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games
