The Bears defense is elite and can beat anyone

This Bears defense can beat anyone. [The 20-0 halftime lead] feels like a pivotal era in the Bears history where it's like everything's going to be good from this point forward.

The Bears did have an elite defense in 2018 (ranked #1 in DVOA), though they lost this specific game.

Ben Roethlisberger is bad now because he's too skinny

He's bad now that he's skinny. He doesn't know how to operate without all that extra padding around him. He just drops back, and since he doesn't have that padding, he's used to defensive ends just hitting him and bouncing off him or just being absorbed by his fat.

Roethlisberger actually led the NFL in passing yards in 2018 with over 5,000, so he wasn't 'bad'.

The Ravens are going to win the AFC North

The Ravens do look like a good football team. John Harbaugh is a week one gangster. Yeah, they're going to win that division.

The Ravens did win the AFC North in 2018 with a 10-6 record.

The Bengals are going to win the AFC North

Yeah, so my team that's going to win the [AFC] North, the Cincinnati Bengals... They have a ton of talent, and as long as Andy Dalton... Their color rush unis were fire.

The Bengals finished last in the AFC North in 2018 with a 6-10 record.

I was wrong: Patrick Mahomes is electric and I'm a believer

One person that I do have to take back my take is Patrick Mahomes. I said Patrick Mahomes stinks and is going to be terrible... I will admit my mistakes. He's electric. No, I'm actually a believer in him now.

Mahomes won the MVP that season and became the face of the league.

I will get a Patrick Mahomes tattoo if Big Cat eats horse poop

I'm going to get a Patrick Mahomes tattoo. You want to bet? You have to eat horse poop if I get a Mahomes tattoo?

Neither event happened.

Whoever loses Bears vs. Seahawks in Week 2 will miss the playoffs

Whoever loses that game is not going to make the playoffs. Can I just do it right now? Can I just say it's a win? You don't have to play it?

The Seahawks lost this game but actually made the playoffs as a Wild Card. The Bears won and also made the playoffs.

Jeremy Hill will be the most physical running back in New England since Corey Dillon

[Jeremy] Hill, the new running back that they got in town. He's going to be the most physical running back in New England since Corey Dillon. Maybe even more physical.

Jeremy Hill tore his ACL in Week 1 of the 2018 season and never played for the Patriots again.

Tom Brady will play three more years and win one more Super Bowl

Gun to your head, Tom Brady, how many more years does he play? Three. How many more Super Bowls does he win? One.

Brady played 5 more seasons (retired after 2022) and won 2 more Super Bowls (LIII with NE and LV with TB).

Serena Williams was being a baby and stole the moment from Naomi Osaka

It felt to me like she was being a little bit of a baby and she was losing and wanted to kind of make a scene. And it sort of stole the moment from the person who actually did win, Naomi Osaka.

This is a subjective assessment of a sporting controversy.

I actually believe in Herm Edwards at Arizona State

We were very wrong about Herm Edwards. I can't believe I'm sitting here saying this, but I think I believe in Herm. Herm Edwards could recruit me.

Herm had a decent run at ASU (7-6, 8-5) before it fell apart due to recruiting violations and a losing 2021-2022 period.

You can't take a shit at a friend's house if the bathroom is less than 30 'bathroom feet' away

It's actually a formula that you multiply the number of bathrooms times the feet from the couch to the bathroom. And if it's anything under 30, then you can't take a shit there. So if there's a bathroom 20 feet away from the couch, but there's only one bathroom in the whole house, you can't do it.

This is a social etiquette opinion.
