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.

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.
