The Tush Push is the safest play in sports and any player safety concerns about it are completely fake.

If they say player safety about the tush push, it's a hundred percent bullshit. Because I don't think there was a single injury on the tush push. There's never been any... It's actually the safest play in sports.

The safety of the play compared to others is a matter of debate, though injury data for the specific play is limited.

Under the NFL's new overtime rules, you should choose to kick if you win the coin toss.

Now we're gonna have to recalibrate because you win the coin toss. You don't want the ball first. Correct? 'cause then you want to know if you need to go for two on a touchdown.

Strategically, many analytics experts agree that knowing what you need (FG or TD) and having the ability to go for two to win makes the second possession superior.

The NFL will eventually ban the Tush Push.

It's gaining momentum though. That's the problem is now they're up to 16 teams that voted to ban it... I I feel like at some point it's gonna be banned.

The NFL has not banned the tush push. A May 2025 vote fell short (22 of 24 needed). No 2026 proposal submitted. Still legal.

The NFL's use of the 'player safety' label is almost always a facade for other league interests.

I'm tired of them pretending it's player safety and then being like, let's add another game or add more overtime. It's not player safety. It's never, whenever they say player safety, it's never player safety.

This is a subjective assessment of the league's motivations.

Getting excited for the NFL schedule release is for pussies

I can't get it up for the schedule release because it's—if you explained what the schedule release was to Vince Lombardi, he'd call you a pussy and spit in your face.

The schedule release is a highly watched media event, though many analysts share the sentiment that it is overblown.

The NFL should release one game schedule per day for the entire off-season

The NFL, they should do, they should draw it out even longer. It should be one game that Roger Goodell releases per day for the entire off-season. And then at the end of it, he's like, okay, let's play some ball.

This is a procedural suggestion that has not been implemented by the league.

The Preakness Stakes should move its date to three weeks before the Kentucky Derby

Why doesn't the Preakness just say, screw it to the Kentucky Derby and schedule their main race for like three weeks before the Kentucky Derby? You wanna play hardball? Yeah, you could play hardball. I feel like if you, if your horse wins the Preakness, if it was scheduled for before the Derby, you're not skipping the derby. No, you gotta run in the derby.

This is a hypothetical scheduling proposal to solve the issue of horses skipping the second jewel of the Triple Crown.
