Travis Kelce could score four touchdowns every game if the Chiefs really wanted him to

I feel like Travis Kelce, if the Chiefs really, really wanted to, he could score four touchdowns every single game.

Kelce had 4 TDs in this game but did not repeat this feat. Scoring 4 TDs every game is physically and statistically impossible in the NFL.

Patrick Mahomes should be the all-time Monday Night Football quarterback

I do think that [Patrick] Mahomes should just be all-time quarterback... Mahomes is going to play on Monday Night Football every week until they lose. And then the team that beats them deserves to get the Monday Night Football crown.

This is a subjective proposal for entertainment value and can't be factually correct or incorrect.

Making roughing the passer reviewable will make the problem ten times worse

What's gonna happen is it's gonna make the problem 10 times worse because you're gonna have 10 minute reviews of referees reviewing a subjective call and then no one's gonna agree whether or not it's roughing the passer or not on the review.

The NFL notably declined to make roughing the passer reviewable the following offseason, partly fearing this exact outcome. PFT's reasoning aligns with league logic.

The Raiders are much better than the Denver Broncos

Even though they're what, one and four? Yeah. I still think [the Raiders] are a much better team than the Denver Broncos.

The Raiders swept the Broncos in 2022 and finished 6-11 compared to the Broncos' 5-12. Statistically and via head-to-head, the Raiders were better.

Trevor Lawrence sucks at throwing the deep ball

I don't think [Trevor Lawrence] sucks, but he definitely sucks throwing the deep ball, which makes him suck. And they don't really have anybody to catch it either... some of the throws that he's made when people are wide open... he just can't make 'em.

Lawrence's deep-ball accuracy remained a statistical point of contention throughout 2022, though he improved significantly in the second half of the season.

I am getting hair plugs to combat my balding

I'm gonna go one way or the other. I don't wanna stay where I'm at right now. I'm in no man's land... All right. I'm gonna get hair plugs.

PFT has joked about this for years but hasn't noticeably undergone a full transformation, though he did eventually start using hair growth products sponsored by the show.

Ben Simmons should stop shooting because every miss becomes a viral mockery

I now am starting to understand why Ben Simmons just doesn't shoot because he, he can't shoot. And every time he does shoot it becomes a viral moment... why would I shoot when I know that it's not gonna go in and people are gonna roast [me]?

This is a psychological opinion on a player's mindset and can't be objectively verified.

The Phillies are the wildcard team getting hot at the right time

It's like the wildcard team that's getting hot right at the right time. Everyone seems loose. They're having fun. [Kyle] Schwarber is a fucking beast.

The Phillies went on an incredible run to the World Series, defeating the Braves and Padres after this take was made. Max was 100% correct.

I'm betting the Tennessee money line against Alabama

I'm going money line on Tennessee. Yeah. I like, I think this Tennessee [team], well it depends on if what's his name, [Cedric] Tillman's back.

Tennessee famously beat Alabama 52-49 that weekend. PFT's bold underdog pick was correct.

Utah will demolish USC in their upcoming matchup

Utah's going to demolish USC. How you say that? That's just candy ass football versus man football.

Utah beat USC 43-42 on October 15, and later beat them again 47-24 in the Pac-12 Championship. While 'demolish' didn't happen in the first game, Big Cat was correct in spirit and outcome.
