The NBA referee apology for the LeBron no-call was written by Rich Paul

They should've had like just posted a picture of them at the time while they were tweeting it cuz it's definitely Rich Paul with a gun to their head. Yeah. As they're sitting there, LeBron James definitely hit up NBA officiating was like, I need a public apology. I need people to know that, that you guys screwed that up.

The apology was likely a PR move by the league, not literally dictated by an agent at gunpoint.

The late hit penalty on Joseph Ossai was 100% the correct call

The late hit call was good. That was the correct call. It was 100% the correct call. ... That's not a ref complaint because they got that right. And people who were upset about that call, they call that a hundred times out of a hundred times.

Officiating experts and the league office confirmed it was a clear late hit as Mahomes was well out of bounds.

The NFL is rigged and scripted to get Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl

The NFL is rigged, rigged. It's rigged for ratings or for money. ... This shit is fucking rigged. The NFL is rigged. I don't, it's scripted everything... They want Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

The NFL is not literally scripted by Hollywood writers.

Kirk Cousins has had a better NFL career than Tony Romo

I had a take last week that Kirk Cousins has had a better NFL career than Tony Romo did. ... I would rather have Kirk Cousins as the quarterback of my team for his whole career than Tony Romo. That's a fact.

Subjective comparison of two quarterbacks with similar profiles (high stats, limited playoff success). Romo has better peak accolades (All-Pro), Cousins has more longevity and volume.

The Rays are playing an exciting brand of baseball

It's a very, very exciting brand of baseball. And I'm gonna miss it when it's over. So I did not wanna sweep, so thank you.

This is a subjective assessment of style and cannot be definitively judged.

The Cowboys are a bad football team

The Cowboys are a bad football team. And I can't wait for people to start to say like, this is when, look at the schedule. Dallas is gonna put some wins together.

The quality of a team is partly evaluative, though the season's playoff result could test the narrower claim that Dallas is not a serious championship threat.

Performance-enhancing drug shortages may explain dominant teams falling off

There started to be severe, severe supply chain issues when it came to performance enhancing drugs and peptide shipments coming to the United States. I just think it's interesting.

This speculative causal theory is not established by the transcript or otherwise verifiable from the available context.
