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.

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.
