Duke players suffered severe concussions from the UNC court-storming earlier in the season

The Washington Wizards are the ones who deserve credit for Bam Adebayo's 83 points

The Patriots would have won Super Bowl 60 if the Cooper Kupp bobble had been challenged and overturned.

I don't know why they didn't challenge that in real time. That was like, that's a bobble. And then it was clearly was a bobble. If he didn't, if they didn't, if they reviewed it and it gets overturned, they didn't even get a field goal... I think we win. [Sliding doors effect].

TV companies are intentionally degrading the quality of old game broadcasts to sell 4K TVs

I think somebody's going back and making the feeds worse... If you try to watch a game that's from the year 2009. Yeah. Online. Yeah.

Bo Nix is 'dog phobic' because he is secretly a dog himself

He is afraid of dogs because he's worried that deep down inside... he's gonna have to tell his parents 'I'm a dog.' I think he's trying to suppress his inner dog because he knows if he becomes the dog that bit him, it's watch out world. He got bit by a dog as a child and became a dog.

Mike Tomlin has to be fired by the Steelers

Regardless of what happens next week, Tomlin's gotta go. I mean, he just gotta go. It's stale. He has a losing record in the playoffs. He refuses, he changes offensive coordinators all the time.

The Arizona Cardinals should fire Jonathan Gannon and hire Josh McDaniels

In the Cardinals' wildest dreams... Probably fire Gannon. Figure out a way to trade Kyler Murray. Hire Josh McDaniels. He's gonna get another shot. Owners love a guy that's failed twice. Spectacularly failed twice.

And I think we think about the Ravens, the Chiefs, and the Bills. Yes, the best teams? No, they're not. The Ravens' defense is flawed. The Chiefs are 5-5. ... I think the teams like the Broncos and the Colts are more complete teams.

The College Football Playoff committee is intentionally keeping JMU out because they don't want any 'presidents' in the bracket

The Packers, on the other hand, I feel like Tucker Kraft was the most important. He might be, he might get my vote for MVP.

The Lions need to get the ball in Penei Sewell's hands more this season

They need to get the ball in [Penei Sewell's] hands more this season. I wanna see him carrying the ball. I wanna see him on a screen pass. I wanna see him catching a lateral. I wanna see that man in the open field with the ball in his hand. Just running people over.

Wisconsin Football is currently the worst program in Power Four football
