Joe Flacco is officially elite

Joe Flacco is elite. He is fucking elite. And the Cleveland Browns clincher playoff spot. Yes. And watching this game, the, the thought occurred to me, what if we had a Browns line, super Bowl?

While Flacco played exceptionally well to lead the Browns to the playoffs, 'elite' remains a subjective and often meme-based descriptor for him.

If Joe Flacco wins the Super Bowl with the Browns, he must be a Hall of Famer

What if Joe Flacco wins? If Joe Flacco wins the super Bowl with the Browns, he has to be a Hall of Famer, right? Has to a hundred percent.

Flacco did not win the Super Bowl with the Browns in 2023; they lost in the Wild Card round.

Connor Stallions has been working for the Baltimore Ravens since resigning from Michigan

Do you think that there's any chance at all that Connor Stallions has been working for the Ravens since he resigned from Michigan? I think it's not a 0% chance... I'm just gonna float it out there with absolutely no backing behind it. Besides the fact that McDonald's used to coach at Michigan. And Connor Stallions is a hardball guy for life.

There is no evidence to support that Connor Stallions was employed by the Ravens.

Baker Mayfield should win NFL Comeback Player of the Year

He [Baker Mayfield] should win Comeback Player of the Year. Joe Flacco. I no disrespect to DeMar Hamlin, but why is he winning? He should not win Comeback Player of the Year.

Joe Flacco actually won the 2023 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award, not Baker Mayfield.

DeMar Hamlin should not win NFL Comeback Player of the Year

I'll be the brave one and say, this guy shouldn't win the award... It is just a fact. He shouldn't win the award.

DeMar Hamlin did not win the award; Joe Flacco did, making Big Cat's opinion on who should NOT win technically aligned with the voting outcome.

Antonio Pierce has earned the full-time head coaching job for the Raiders

I do think that Antonio Pierce has, has coached his way into being the full-time head coach. Agree. If they really wanna win this game, Mark Davis should announce before the game starts. Like you're giving away a scholarship like this, this Walk-on now has earned his position.

The Las Vegas Raiders did indeed hire Antonio Pierce as their full-time head coach in January 2024.

There isn't a single team in the NFL right now that can be fully trusted

I don't think there's a team you can trust right now in the NFL. You go down the list... I don't think there's one team that you can, you could say like, put my life on the line. They win this game.

This is a subjective assessment of the league's parity at that specific moment.

Russell Wilson played himself out of a Hall of Fame career

We'll always have the danger witch. Yeah, he, he definitely played himself out of a hall of Fame career. Right. I don't know that, that's gonna be a tough one... Russell, Wilson is nowhere near top 10 now.

While Wilson's stock dropped, whether he ultimately makes the Hall of Fame is still a matter of future voting and legacy assessment.

Oregon is going to destroy Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl

17 points is not win nearly enough points. They're so strong and he's so strong... They're way bigger than Liberty. So I'm, this might just be because I saw a bunch of football players up close and I'm like, oh, these guys are way bigger than they look on tv.

Oregon defeated Liberty 45-6, easily covering the spread PFT mentioned.

Having a clear vision is the most important tool for success in life

I put this number one in my book, be useful because I think that vision is the most important thing. If you don't have a very clear vision of what you want to accomplish in life, and if you don't have a very clear vision where you want to go, you don't have anything, you're just kind of like drifting around.

This is a philosophical opinion from a highly successful individual.

Admitting your mistakes is the only way to learn and improve

You learn, you know, sometimes even more from the failures than we do from the successes. And so we have to be very honest, when you fail, you have to be very, very honest... You've gotta go and just look in the mirror and say, you fucked up and here's what you did wrong. And then analyze it, and they take the blame for it.

Subjective life advice.

The world is heading toward the AI future depicted in the Terminator movies

As we went on with time, decade after decade, all of a sudden I realized, oh my God, we are actually going in that direction. And what Jim Cameron wrote about is going to happen, you know, that the machines are now so sophisticated, so far ahead of human way of thinking that they are so far ahead.

While AI is advancing rapidly, whether it follows the exact 'Skynet' path remains to be seen.

The rivalry with Sylvester Stallone made both of them more successful and drove them to improve

Stallone by being so good made me better. So he gets, it's kind of like a competition. If you go to the Olympics and you're the only one that is running the a hundred meter sprint, you know, you're not gonna get the performance out of it as if, if a bunch of guys are chasing you. And so it's always kind of the competition that creates performance.

I will be in the best shape of my life when I turn 40

I have the double whammy of our birthday month is coming up and it's our last birthday in our thirties. And I am trying to tell myself that when I turn 40, I have to turn 40 in good shape in the best shape of my life... I'm going to put in a very concerted effort starting on Tuesday.

The outcome depends on his long-term consistency in the gym and diet.
