The NFL stashed the Justin Fields epilepsy story to drop it during a slow news week before the draft

If the draft wasn't pushed back this far, we might never have found out about it... They're like, hey, the week before, let's drop the epilepsy story. We're going to stash that one away because people are going to be starved for some news.

This is an unprovable theory about PR timing.

Two quarterbacks will be drafted immediately after Mac Jones goes off the board.

I think that there's going to be, after Mac goes, I think that it's just going to be two quarterbacks immediately after him.

Mac Jones was drafted 15th. The next quarterback taken was Kyle Trask at 64th and Davis Mills at 67th. There was no run immediately after Jones.

I am skeptical of Nick Sirianni because he self-leaked the rock-paper-scissors draft story.

He put the news out there that he was evaluating draft prospects by asking them to play rock, paper, scissors against them... I would have liked this story if someone else had reported it... but the fact that he put it out there, he's like, look at this cool, smart, awesome football guy thing that I did... I'm officially skeptical of Nick Sirianni at this point.

The Portland State basketball coach is a 'football guy' because he takes metaphors literally

Football guys, and I know he's a basketball coach, but he is a football guy... the biggest thing with them is they take metaphors literally. They're like Amelia Bedelia. He probably when they read Animal Farm they were probably like that's a crazy story about pigs talking.

Subjective definition of a personality archetype.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.
