Villanova should officially be considered a basketball Blue Blood

If you look at, you mentioned Bluebloods, these are four. I would even say Villanova might be a blue blood... I would take away one drop of blue blood from Kentucky, like Elizabeth Holmes, and I'm giving it to Villanova.

The term Blue Blood is subjective, but Villanova's two titles in three years (2016, 2018) made this a common debate in 2022.

A UNC win would prove Roy Williams is a better coach than Coach K

If UNC wins, that would be an all-time vindication for Roy Williams, being a better head coach than Coach K... If Roy Williams picked the perfect time to walk away and his hand chosen successor beat Coach K who stuck around for year long, suck Fest... I think that's another feather in the cap for Roy.

UNC did beat Duke in the Final Four, ending Coach K's career, which many fans used to validate Roy's success and succession planning.

Coach K's farewell tour is already a success because he reached the Final Four

Getting to the Final Four is like his farewell tour has worked. I've already admitted some defeat because getting to the Final Four is like his farewell tour has worked.

Duke did reach the Final Four, which is objectively a successful deep tournament run for a final season.

If you do not have a strong opinion about Duke basketball, you are not a real sports fan

Duke is binary. If you don't have an opinion about Duke, I don't trust you as a sports fan. Either you love Duke or you hate them. You can't be like, I don't know, I never really had an opinion about Duke.

This is a subjective standard for sports fandom.

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.
