The targeting rule was created solely for referees to impact games

I feel like the rule was created so that the refs have an opportunity to impact a game one way or the other. Where if you want it to be targeting, you can say, 'okay, that's targeting, this guy's ejected.' If you don't want it to be, then you can say no. And everyone's like, 'well, okay. I guess I don't know what targeting is.'

This is a cynical interpretation of the rule's purpose that cannot be factually proven or disproven.

The SEC is dead and the effectiveness of first-round byes is over in the CFP

The SEC is dead. So is byes. Byes are dead. Byes are dead. Byes are dead. The rest versus rust has been settled. The SEC is dead.

While SEC teams were eliminated early, claiming the conference is 'dead' is a subjective hyperbole.

College football is back following an incredible slate of quarterfinal games

Texas-Arizona State was an instant classic. Notre Dame-Georgia had some good drama. College football might be back.

Boise State's lack of urgency at the end of the Penn State game was sad

The end of the game was a little sad by Boise State where they were just trying to get him [Ashton Jeanty] the record instead. I know they were down 17 and there's probably no chance, but running on first down with two and a half minutes left was a little sad. They had no urgency to try to cover the spread.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

Folarin Balogun is the best pure striker the USMNT has ever had

He's the like, probably the best pure striker that we've ever had. I know it's crazy to say that after just like four games. But in terms of just like being a pure striker and a finisher, he's the best that we've had.
