The NFL salary cap isn't actually enforced and the league just sends 'strongly worded letters' to teams over the limit

My theory is that the NFL just said, okay, we're going to make a salary cap... but they don't actually have a guy that's tracking it and enforcing actual penalties... They just send a strongly worded letter saying you are currently $2 million over the salary cap... and then they just never follow up on that.

The NFL salary cap is strictly enforced with actual fines, draft pick forfeitures, and contract voiding; the Rams simply use clever accounting and restructures.

There will definitely be a Game 6 in the NBA Finals

I do think there will be a game six, unfortunately. Very scared about game four.

Prediction Basketball Mild

Correct. The series went to 6 games, with the Warriors winning in Boston.

The Celtics would have won by now if they didn't constantly throw up stinkers and let down in the third quarter

The Celtics, like what they have gotten better at over the season... they still do it to an extent it happened in the third quarter as they just we'll just let down. And all of a sudden they have terrible runs... they just throw up stinkers. I think that's been, it's been the most, it was like this in Milwaukee series, like this, the Miami series.

Opinion Basketball Medium

The Celtics did have a tendency to lose leads and play inconsistent stretches, famously blowing several big leads in this specific Finals series before ultimately losing to the Warriors.

The Warriors are impossible to beat if Steph Curry and Klay Thompson both have a night where they're 'on' from start to finish

If those two guys make all their shots, if they get to a night where they're both on, then they're pretty much impossible to beat. It doesn't matter how good the Celtics can play... but they're not going to be able to do that. Like that's not, it's impossible for them to sustain that type of basketball.

Opinion Basketball Medium

While Klay was inconsistent, Steph had a legendary series (including 43 points in Game 4) that ultimately proved the Warriors were not only beatable but capable of outplaying the Celtics' defense.
