Tony Romo on the sideline will be a huge distraction for Dak Prescott in the playoffs

Romo getting FaceTime every time Dak screws up just a little bit is going to be delicious. Tony on the sideline, and Dak throws an early interception, or the Packers go up a little bit. Show me Tony Romo. Show me Tony Romo. Troy Aikman's going to talk about it.

During the Cowboys' loss to Green Bay, Romo was indeed shown frequently on the broadcast as Dak struggled early, validating the media-distraction narrative.

The Chargers moving to LA is like a friend crashing on your couch for a couple years

The chargers didn't even tell the rams they just told twitter... 'whoops hey guys in the rams, we're gonna crash on your couch for a couple years is that okay? ... maybe we'd go halvesies on your apartment ... let us use your stadium. I'll buy you an In-N-Out burger on Friday night.'

The Chargers did indeed share a stadium with the Rams (and briefly played in a soccer stadium) upon moving to LA.

Hiring Sean McVay is the NFL equivalent of a 45-year-old divorcé finding an 18-year-old with fake boobs

It's basically if you're married and you're like 45 years old and you get divorced, the next thing you do is you find an 18-year-old with like fake boobs, no job, that sort of thing... you'd go for the opposite [of Jeff Fisher].

Sean McVay was indeed the youngest hire in history, serving as a total philosophical opposite to Jeff Fisher.

A combined roster of the Rams and Chargers would still not be able to win the AFC South

With a combined roster of the best players from the Rams and the Chargers, could Los Angeles win the AFC South? No.

The 2016 Rams (4-12) and Chargers (5-11) were bad, but a combined team with Rivers, Gurley, and Aaron Donald likely would have won the weak 2016 AFC South (won by 9-7 Texans).

The Rays are playing an exciting brand of baseball

It's a very, very exciting brand of baseball. And I'm gonna miss it when it's over. So I did not wanna sweep, so thank you.

This is a subjective assessment of style and cannot be definitively judged.

The Cowboys are a bad football team

The Cowboys are a bad football team. And I can't wait for people to start to say like, this is when, look at the schedule. Dallas is gonna put some wins together.

The quality of a team is partly evaluative, though the season's playoff result could test the narrower claim that Dallas is not a serious championship threat.

Performance-enhancing drug shortages may explain dominant teams falling off

There started to be severe, severe supply chain issues when it came to performance enhancing drugs and peptide shipments coming to the United States. I just think it's interesting.

This speculative causal theory is not established by the transcript or otherwise verifiable from the available context.
