The Redskins botched the Trent Williams trade situation by leaking fake offers

What Bruce Allen ended up doing in this situation was he made up some trade offers for Trent Williams back in September... turns out neither one of those offers was true and he just waited until the last minute hoping that somebody would call and offer a first-round pick; didn't happen.

General consensus among NFL insiders confirmed the Redskins mismanaged the leverage and eventually traded him for much less (a 3rd and 5th) in 2020.

DeColdest Crawford is the coolest name in the history of college football

NCAA athletes being allowed to profit off their likeness means the EA Sports NCAA football game will return

College Football 25 was finally released by EA Sports in 2024 after NIL laws made it possible.

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant's relationship will work because of their 'Jay and Silent Bob' dynamic

The Durant/Kyrie era in Brooklyn was a failure, marked by drama and zero championships before both were traded in 2023.

Andy Reid doesn't understand how time works

The era of the 'Matt' starting quarterback in the NFL is coming to an end.

This year feels like the last hurrah for Matts as starting quarterbacks in the NFL, like they're starting to fade away pretty quickly. We're getting a big come up for Josh's. A lot of Josh's coming through the ranks, but this is like the Last Stand for Matts.

Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford remained high-level starters for several more years, with Stafford winning a Super Bowl in 2021.

The Patriots defense will regress because of turnover luck

I mentioned that turnover luck can play a part in Defenses being really good and sometimes will regress to the mean... I was just mentioning that if your game plan is to always have four turnovers at some point. That's not going to happen.

The Patriots defense was elite all year but couldn't force a single turnover in their playoff loss to the Titans, validating the idea that you can't rely on them every game.

The double doink drove Matt Nagy insane and made him afraid of playing offense.

I actually think that Matt Nagy has gone insane. I think the double doink actually drove him insane last year... He's so terrified of anything ever bad happening in his entire life. He's agoraphobic... he's afraid to leave his house because of all the bad shit that might happen.

Matt Stafford deserves to be on the MVP shortlist
