The idea that the NFL discriminates against black quarterbacks when the four highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL are all black is a flagrant lie.

Here’s my top ten - this is the one that I believe that I am riding into the draft with on draft eve. Trevor Lawrence is going to go number one overall.

Right now, college football is contemplating going to double digit playoff teams, potentially to twelve. My biggest takeaway is that it preserves the value in being one of the top four seeds in a major way.

The Braves have gotten completely screwed by Rob Manfred’s idiocy. But they keep fighting, what are they 11-12 right now? They just announced that come May 7th they are going to go to 100% fan capacity.

Stacey Abrams in her testimony in front of Congress gave more lies. Stacey Abrams and Joe Biden have lied about the Georgia voting rights bill, that it does not actually restrict the ability of Georgians to vote.

This is awesome. Just the idea where we’re going to see the football stadiums back to what we’re used to is going to be a ton of fun.

Stacey Abrams wrote an editorial piece for USA Today calling for a boycott of the state of Georgia and specifically referencing Major League Baseball. After the All-Star Game was pulled out of Atlanta, they rewrote the editorial to make it look like she did not request a boycott.

In her opening statement, before she even said a word, she strode up to the microphone and she ripped off her mask and she said ‘I’m going to take this damn mask off’ and the crowd went crazy. That was the first line she ever said as the LSU Women’s Basketball Coach. That is one of the most iconic first lines.

Christian Pulisic may already be the greatest talent we have ever produced in America; if we can keep healthy, he’s clearly going to become the greatest player of all time and there may not be a close second.

I like a nice pitching matchup. I also like to see a damn guy get a damn hit.

Is this rapping or singing? Is it a rap/sing combo? It’s a lot more high pitched than I expected from Isaiah Wilson. Very muppetish. If you’re going to autotune something, why not make yourself sound better? That might be the worst audio to ever be heard inside Blackbird Studio.

We really don’t know what’s going to happen after the first three picks. Everybody is in on the gag; literally the networks are in on the gag. There’s different analysts, but they’re not hiding cameras from each other. There’s no completion. The NFL has mandated, we want as many eyes on this as possible.

NYT has peddled fear porn now for over a year now as it pertains to COVID. Data finally published on the back page of the New York Times were the actual stats about the danger to COVID.

I think it’s time to do away with the unwritten rules of baseball and just have a good time. I salute Trevor Bauer and Fernando Tatis for helping the overall sport to be more engaging, entertaining, and fun.

Your average NFL football stadium, even if it were filled to the brim, if every single person was under 50, one person would die of Covid even if the entire stadium had it.

“Trevor Lawrence, obviously, going number one overall. Second spot, Zach Wilson, another freebie. I think third, Mac Jones is going to be the San Francisco 49ers pick.”

Reports are that there are going to be under 10 million people who watched the Oscars this year - down from around 23 million last year. Last year was the least watched Oscars on record.

Jim Jordan has written a letter calling out MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred for his decision to pull the All-Star Game out of Atlanta. The letter was fantastic, he did a phenomenal job making the case.

“This is actually perfect for our identity politics era and I actually root for Caitlyn Jenner in this context because it explodes identity politics universes for a transgender former athlete to be a dyed in the wool Republican who wants to go after Gavin Newsom for restricting all of the freedoms for the people in the state of California.”

I want to give credit to Marcellus Wiley. He did, I think, the best job of any person on television in the world of sports talking about LeBron James and why his tweet calling out the Columbus, Ohio police officer was such an awful decision.

Oregon is the only state in the country that is requiring high school track athletes competing outdoors to do so in masks. This is absolute lunacy.

I don’t think they would drop this news if the expansion was not going to happen sooner rather than later. I continue to believe that eight teams is the perfect number. You play the first four games on the home field of the higher seed instead of continuing the neutral site business.

The first thing they’re doing with this Orange & White game is bridging the gap with the past and inviting back a bunch of EFLs and honoring the tradition of the past with the players.

It’s predictable. Now let me say, I love the NFL Draft. I am here for the NFL Draft. I love draft night, but I also know the BS when we hear it from teams.

You know the world has turned upside down when OJ Simpson has given LeBron James advice.
