The NCAA's new compensation rules will create a major/minor league divide in college sports

The NCAA is putting forth a new... regulation... so that certain colleges, any college as a matter of fact can contribute up to $30,000 a year... once this gets into place, it's gonna be like the major leagues, right. Of college sports. Yes. And then everybody else is the minor leagues if this actually ends up happening.

The landscape of college football has rapidly shifted toward a 'Power 2' (Big Ten/SEC) dominance based on financial resources, validating this outlook.

Jake Browning is elite and his performance against the Jaguars proves he is 'Him'

Jake Browning has arrived. He is Elite. I got a question. Is Jake Browning him? He might be... 32 for 37. 354 yards. And a Bengals win.

While Browning had a very respectable run as a backup (finishing with a 98.4 passer rating), he was not 'elite' in a long-term sense and returned to a backup role in 2024.

The NFC is a more difficult conference than the AFC this year

Now it all switches to Is the NFC the real gauntlet? Is NFC really the actual conference this year? Because Yeah. I mean, if you had to do a power rankings of teams, the NFC would have what, three of the top five teams right now?

The 49ers and Lions (NFC) reached the conference championship and were considered elite, while the AFC was dominated primarily by the Chiefs and Ravens.

Jacksonville should have forced Trevor Lawrence to use a golf cart instead of letting him walk to the locker room

Jacksonville, Florida probably has the most golf carts. And they didn't use a single one on Trevor. He said he wanted to walk to the training room... At that point, you need to be like, no, we're gonna get you a cart. You've had, gimme your keys. You've had too much.

This is a subjective opinion on team protocol, though largely echoed by many in the media following the optics of the injury.

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
