The NFL uses the Detroit Lions as a test case for the most obscure rules in the book

You were also, like, victims of the most obscure parts of the rule book constantly... Rules that you never hear about growing up playing football, but somehow, like, it's like the refs go, they check under the hood, then they flip to the very back of the rule book, put their glasses on, and they're like, here, this one right here... They use you [the Lions] as a test case scenario for a lot of them.

The 'Calvin Johnson Rule' and the Jim Schwartz challenge flag incident are real examples of the Lions being at the center of rare rule interpretations.

The Giants aren't tough enough if their quarterback thinks he's even able to swing in a training camp fight

I say that I don't think that the New York Giants are tough enough if their quarterback is thinking that he's even able to swing on him... I don't think that they're tough enough if Daniel Jones thinks he's a fighter.

Subjective opinion on team dynamics.

Dan Campbell is the most 'football guy' to ever coach in the NFL

Dan Campbell, man Campbell. He's alpha-ed the entire ranks of every – he's the most football guy to ever coach in the NFL, I think. He's starting to blur the line where he's no longer really a football guy. He's just kind of a football.

The definition of a 'football guy' is a specific PMT trope, and Campbell has become the poster child for it.

Joe Judge making NFL players do laps and push-ups after a fight will not end well

Joe Judge is dealing with it as well because part of the giant scrum... they did laps, 100-yard laps, and then he didn't like how everyone did it, so then he made everyone do push-ups. And I feel like that's not going to go over well with a bunch of millionaire athletes.

Joe Judge was fired after just two seasons, with reports citing his hard-nosed 'tough guy' style as a factor in losing the locker room.

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.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
