The Steelers are like Michigan football because they count championships won before the Super Bowl era

That's a classic Steelers move to count the championships that you won before the Super Bowl was a thing. I'm saying that's a classic thing to reach back. Well, in 1920, we won the big contest. We call that Michigan football.

The Steelers do officially recognize their pre-Super Bowl history, and Michigan is famously cited for its numerous pre-poll era national titles.

Michigan football counts national championships they won before black people were allowed to play

Michigan football counts all the national championships they won before they let black people play.

While Michigan had black players as early as the 19th century, many of their early claimed titles (1901-1904) occurred during eras of widespread segregation in college sports.

The Patriots are a better team specifically because of Dion Lewis

Actually, the real reason is Dion Lewis. They are 14-0 when [Lewis] plays. [Brady's] a system quarterback, in other words.

The Patriots did have an incredible winning streak when Dion Lewis was active on the roster during this era.

You would be insane to bet the under on the 60.5 total for the Packers-Falcons game

The story of this game, though, over-under is 61.5 now? 60.5. And you would be insane if you bet the under. I do think the over is going to be the play here. There's nothing better than watching a game, having the over, and having it be a points bukkake.

The Falcons won 44-21, totaling 65 points, which cleared the 60.5 line.

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.
