Takes

The Bears, Saints, or Chiefs will win the Super Bowl next year

Baker Mayfield's poor performance was due to helium-filled footballs

Jalen Milroe's small hands are a major problem for his draft stock

Jalen Milroe has insanely small hands. Eight and three fourth inches. To put it into perspective, it would be the smallest hands of any first round quarterback ever taken. And in 2022, only one starting NFL QB had his hand size under nine inches... and it was Taysom Hill. Not good.

The NFL's electronic first down measurement system is bad for the sport because it removes human anticipation

This is bad. And here's why. The chain and the stick is awesome. It gives you another play. It's a free play that you get... the anticipation. That's another stop of them running out...
