The World Cup belongs on the Mount Rushmore of professional sports playoffs

The NFL should award 'assists' to players who successfully lateral a ball that results in a touchdown

The NFL should award assist for anyone who successfully laterals a ball That and that the play end than a touchdown. This would promote more laterals and specialists with those skills that become valuable throughout the league. [PFT]: I like that. It's a good idea.

This is a proposed rule/stat change, not a verifiable fact.

NBA teams should be allowed to adjust the dimensions of their own three-point line to create a home-court advantage

Every game would be played differently based on where the three point line is would be exciting to watch. [Big Cat]: I think we said it with Kirk Goldsberry maybe, but yes. This would be awesome. Different dimensions like in baseball. Yeah. This would be so sick.

This is a hypothetical 'what-if' for the league.

The Red Sox owner John Henry is orchestrating a 'smear job' on Rafael Devers because Devers didn't answer his text message

MLB owner just getting his feelings hurt... I believe the reason traded Devers... John Henry made a trip to have like a face-to-face conversation with him... and Devers was not having it. [Big Cat]: I do love like just the story of a, a owner just getting his feelings hurt. It happens a lot. And just saying, I'm making this rash decision 'cause my feelings got hurt.

This is an interpretation of media leaks and organizational behavior.

Purely hypothetical thought experiment.

Jayson Tatum is the NBA equivalent of Brock Purdy

My take is that Jayson Tatum is the NBA equivalent of Brock Purdy... Jason Tatum is awesome. Jason Tatum is not, he plays defense on, not on the same level as [Nikola] Jokic and Luca [Doncic].

This is a purely subjective comparison between two players in different sports based on their supporting casts.

Luka Doncic doesn't play defense while Jayson Tatum is a two-way star

Luca [Doncic] doesn't play defense. Jason Tatum plays defense. [Tatum] is the leader of the team that's the best team in the NBA and then potentially wins the NBA championship. Those conversations [about him being top five] deserve to be had.

Tatum is widely regarded as a superior defender to Doncic, though the 'top five' ranking remains highly subjective.

Jayson Tatum is not a top five player in the NBA; he is ranked sixth or seventh

Tatum is not a top five player either. He's like seven, which is fine. Which is awesome... Tatum's an awesome player. He's not the same as the top three or four guys in the league.

NBA player rankings are inherently subjective, though Tatum frequently lands in the 6-8 range in major media polls.

The NBA should start its season on Christmas Day and play only 60 games

I am a big proponent of starting it like [a] 60 game season started on December 25th. Remember the year, the lockout year? That started. That was awesome. It was good [the] best schedule... I think every sport outside of football should do smaller seasons.

If James Bradberry had worn white gloves in the Super Bowl, the Eagles would have won

I'm convinced if James Bradberry was wearing white gloves in the Eagles last Super Bowl, that call is never made and the Eagles are Super Bowl champs.

This is a pure hypothetical that can never be proven, though many fans agree that the visual of the grab was enhanced by the glove contrast.

Watching Caleb Williams throw a football is like watching Steph Curry play basketball

Albert Breer just put out an entire piece about Caleb Williams... checked all the boxes. Called him a Steph Curry-like experience watching him throw the football. It means Steph Curry's awesome to watch play basketball, so it's like that in football.

Comparing watching Caleb Williams throw to watching Steph Curry play basketball is a subjective aesthetic comparison, not a verifiable prediction.

The Florida Gators would have won the 2001 National Championship if not for the 9/11 schedule changes

Florida would've won the football national championship in 2001 had nine 11 not happened and the Tennessee game got rescheduled.

A historical hypothetical. Miami was incredibly dominant that year, so it's a bold claim to say Florida would have definitely won.

Korean BBQ is a great restaurant concept because you don't have to do the dishes

Dishes. You don't have to do the dishes. The dishes is what the worst part about cooking at home is... and it will change everything in your brain.

I would rather experience Damar Hamlin's on-field medical emergency than Alex Smith's leg injury because you get a peak at the afterlife

DeMar [Hamlin over Alex Smith]. Because you get a peak at the afterlife. For sure... you get treated as a hero when you come back... you get a free clone.

A personal preference in a hypothetical scenario.
