The Divisional Round should be renamed the 'Best Fucking Weekend of Football of the Year'

I just nominate, we call it the best fucking weekend of football of the year.

The weekend featured the 'Minneapolis Miracle' and a high-scoring Jags/Steelers shootout, making it arguably the best of the season.

The Vikings' win over the Saints was a 'stay of execution' and they will still lose in heartbreaking fashion

[It] kind of feels like a stay of execution for Vikings fans. Because they are destiny. You know, it would actually be, I hate to say it, the most Vikings end to a season if they lost a Super Bowl in heartbreaking fashion in front of their home fans... They're going to win next weekend, and it's going to be – God, I feel so bad for them in advance.

The Vikings were crushed 38-7 by the Eagles the following week in the NFC Championship, ending the 'destiny' narrative abruptly.

The Saints should blow up the Drew Brees and Sean Payton era

Not to brag what I called it, but you should probably blow up the Drew Brees, Sean Payton Saints. Didn't win a Super Bowl.

The Saints did not blow it up; they went 13-3 the next year and remained Super Bowl contenders until Brees retired in 2021.

Steve Sarkeesian being hired by the Falcons cost Georgia the national championship

If Steve Sarkeesian hadn't been hired by the Falcons, Georgia would have won the national championship because he still would be in the booth for Alabama. And the Falcons probably would have been a decent team this year because they wouldn't have had him calling the same 10 plays over and over.

This is a hypothetical based on Sarkeesian's departure from Alabama's staff just before the 2017 season.

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.
