"Remember in elementary school when you'd turn in a paper without your name on it and they'd say, they won't put up with that in junior high wiener boy, and then in junior high you'd not show your work on a math problem, they won't put up with that in high school pork chop, and oh you didn't cite your sources they're not gonna put up with that in college. Accountability!

It used to be the same in the football world. There was accountability. That's been watered down a tad. Now if a high school coach is too mean the parents will drive him out. In college it's...I'll just transfer. Good players especially, you're not watching your film, I'll transfer! Okkkk, do what you want. Then for Shedeur it was  hey throw the ball you're taking too many sacks, my dad's the coach. So from Pop Warner through college accountability has gone way down, that is until Roger Goodell takes the podium. That's judgement day. Good job your dad coached your teams. Good job you transferred to 5 different programs that was great and fun. But now it's judgement day. Roger tell Shedeur what his prize is...Cleveland!!! 5th round!!"

"If you watch 90's NHL highlights you'll occasionally see a guy skating around without a helmet on. It's like the mid 90's. And there's Gretzky full padded, Mark Messier helmet, jaromir jagr helmet, plastic shields, and then there's Craig McTavish out there without a helmet. Did he lose it, did he drop it after a check. No he just is choosing not to wear a helmet. It's a stark contrast compared to the rest of the players on the ice. Old man McTavish refused to conform.

This is like watching Kawhi Leonard play in the NBA. Everyone else is flippin and floppin like fish out there, they're tearing up after any contact, they're looking at the refs trembling that they're not getting calls, they're foul baiting, they're all dressed up with arm sleeves and knee pads, and leggings, and then there's kawhi leonard skating around without a helmet on. He doesn't complain, he doesn't talk to the refs, he doesn't flop, he doesn't cry, he doesn't speak. I love Kawhi. And last night, Jokic who everybody loves, did a big euro flop like a fish with about two minutes left and embarrassed himself. Kawhi doesn't do that. Kawhi's a guy you can look up to kids. He wears new balance!"
