The NFL only banned smelling salts because they can mask the symptoms of a concussion

The reason why they banned [smelling salts] originally was because it's been shown that it can mask the symptoms of an actual concussion, which you think no, duh. That's what I was saying. The Josh Allen Texans game. That was the moment where they were like, oh, he got concussed and then he just hit the smelling salts and was back in.

The NFL has indeed expressed concerns about ammonia masking head injuries, though the 'ban' status is often fluid between team-provided vs. player-used.

I would not be dismayed to see Tanner McKee starting week one in the NFL

Tanner McKee is that dude, I could see him starting in the NFL. I would not be dismayed to see him starting week one.

McKee did not start Week 1 of the 2025 season as Jalen Hurts was healthy.

If you can throw a golf ball 200 yards, you can probably break 90 on a golf course

I honestly think if you could throw a golf ball 200 yards, you could probably break 90 on a golf course. Just throwing the ball. Like he might be, what would that put you at? Probably like around 80. You could probably break 80 maybe.

The distance is only one part of golf; accuracy and putting (which he notes) would make breaking 90 just by throwing quite difficult, though possible for an elite athlete.

Joe Milton should be a starting quarterback in the NFL

It sucks that the two biggest Joe Milton guys on this podcast are the two biggest cowboy haters. But Joe Milton that is absolutely slinging it. He should be a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Joe Milton was drafted late and did not start in his rookie season.

Getting excited for the NFL schedule release is for pussies

I can't get it up for the schedule release because it's—if you explained what the schedule release was to Vince Lombardi, he'd call you a pussy and spit in your face.

The schedule release is a highly watched media event, though many analysts share the sentiment that it is overblown.

The NFL should release one game schedule per day for the entire off-season

The NFL, they should do, they should draw it out even longer. It should be one game that Roger Goodell releases per day for the entire off-season. And then at the end of it, he's like, okay, let's play some ball.

This is a procedural suggestion that has not been implemented by the league.

The Preakness Stakes should move its date to three weeks before the Kentucky Derby

Why doesn't the Preakness just say, screw it to the Kentucky Derby and schedule their main race for like three weeks before the Kentucky Derby? You wanna play hardball? Yeah, you could play hardball. I feel like if you, if your horse wins the Preakness, if it was scheduled for before the Derby, you're not skipping the derby. No, you gotta run in the derby.

This is a hypothetical scheduling proposal to solve the issue of horses skipping the second jewel of the Triple Crown.
