    I don't believe in Ridder either. but given Bill's hard stance on them, I am rethinking my position.

    Not sure on the context, but the two situations seem pretty similar to me :idk:

    Other than Lamar being an MVP and Austin Reaves being a borderline top 50ish NBA player, I guess.

    I know player rankings are always gonna be a thing, but how can you possibly compare Micah Parsons and Patrick Mahomes and say one is better than the other?

    there's no point comparing any non QB to a franchise level QB, especially when it's the best QB of the generation

    not believing in the falcons hasn't come back to bite anyone in the ass for the last 60 years, so bill and sal are probably in the clear

    He got assurance from Danny Kelly that the blue chip drop off is after Gonzalez and before Weatherspoon in the redraft.

    Bill was asking Van Lathan questions about his college football fandom like it’s incredibly rare and he’s some weirdo for sitting and watching it for 15 hours every Saturday in the fall.

    I rooted for that Hail Mary to be complete like it was an Arkansas game. Would’ve been incredible to lose to Zach Wilson. Bad enough for it to even be a game.

    Who was taking an Uber during Sal’s story about his son’s college move in?

    It sounds like his boy is at Oregon. No option for his son or other boys taking an Uber makes sense to me.

    i think he had said that they flew up to Eugene and didn't plan on renting a car in an earlier episode. so they were presumably taking ubers from the airport and to the stores to buy supplies or whatever.
