The NFL should keep the 70-year-old men in the chain gang instead of moving to Hawkeye technology

They're gonna start using Hawkeye technology for First Downs next year... I don't want to turn NFL into a computer simulation. I like having the guys run out on the field with the chain. There's something nice about seeing a 70-year-old man trot out there very slowly and then they measure it... I like that part of the game.

Subjective aesthetic preference for the game's presentation.

The Matthew Stafford and Tom Brady ski trip was definitely not a coincidence

Jordan Schultz had [the report] that Matt Stafford and Tom Brady went on a nice little cozy ski vacation together... Ian Rapoport came over the top and said I'm told that this was just a coincidence... Can you imagine the coincidence level though of like, you and I happen to run into each other on vacation? I'm just not buying it.

The truth of their intent is impossible to verify, but the skepticism is a staple of PMT reporter-mocking.

If Tom Brady explicitly invited Matthew Stafford to his vacation, it is tampering

I think if you can prove that Tom Brady was like, 'Hey, I'm gonna be at Yellowstone Club, come out for the weekend,' then that's tampering. Otherwise, it's gonna be hard to prove.

Under NFL rules, an owner (Brady) recruiting a player under contract (Stafford) is indeed tampering.

NFL owners are cheap if they have bad locker rooms or bad food

I don't understand how anyone owns a team and gets anything worse than like a B on any of these things. If I had that much money and I owned a team, I'd be tricking out everything... I can't conceptualize an owner of a football team being like, 'Our players don't get to eat on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.'

This is a subjective opinion on ownership quality.

If Messi wins the 2026 World Cup, he is the GOAT of all sports GOATs

So if he wins the World Cup again, I'm prepared to say he might be the GOAT GOAT. Like the GOAT of GOATs. Right now I think Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali are both tied for the GOAT GOAT... But Messi could get on the Mount Rushmore of GOAT GOATs.

Messi has reached the 2026 final in this transcript. A win would make him a back-to-back champion, making the GOAT claim very strong.

France will beat England in the World Cup third-place game, giving England the all-time record for third-place game losses.

England has, they've got the possibility to set the all time record for most third place game losses. Right now they're tied with Brazil with two. If they lose another one, then that would mean that they have that record on their own. And if you look back through history or at least recent history, three of the last five champions of the World Cup go on to win the third place game the next year. So that would mean that France would win this third place game and England would etch their names into history.

Pending the outcome of the 2026 World Cup 3rd-place game between France and England.

Warde Manuel is about to be fired as the Michigan Athletic Director

I think Warde Manuel's about to get fired... They've leaked a few things to the media regarding the investigation and in the things that they've leaked, they've squarely pointed their finger at Warde Manuel and been like Warde knew the entire time.

The outcome of Manuel's tenure and the NCAA investigation at Michigan remains to be seen.
