The Cowboys defense is going to get worse now that Dan Quinn is the Commanders head coach

Max should be ecstatic about Dan Quinn because at the very least, the Cowboys defense is gonna get worse. Right? Yep. And so if [the Commanders] get better and the Cowboys defense gets worse, I think that's a win-win for both me and you.

The Cowboys defense remained statistically strong but struggled in high-pressure moments in 2024, while the Commanders showed improvement under Quinn.

NFL 'retreads' like Dan Quinn run the world and usually figure it out on their second stop

Retreads run the world. Retreads run the NFL. Gary Kubiak, John Gruden, Bill Parcells, Tony Dungy, Tom Coughlin, Pete Carroll, Andy Reid, Mike Shanahan, Don Shula. Bill Belichick was a retread when he was hired by the New England Patriots. Dan Quinn, second stop, he's gonna figure it out.

While Dan Quinn has improved the Commanders in 2024, the 'retread' theory is a long-standing debate in NFL circles with mixed results.

Lamar Jackson should get fat because natural padding helps quarterbacks absorb hits

I think it's good if your quarterback's a little bit chunky, a little bit fat. Yeah. You get it's natural padding. It absorbs some of the hits. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady. These guys weren't in the best shape... Lamar Jackson should get fat.

Lamar Jackson actually leaned out further for the 2024 season to increase his speed.

College football needs a CBA to govern NIL and the transfer portal

I think college football needs a CBA to kind of govern this because it's clear that the federal government is not gonna step in... right now you got a fall transfer portal period, you got a spring transfer portal period... name, image and likeness was put in place just for that. What it has turned into now is free agency.

As of late 2024, there are increasing moves toward a revenue-sharing model and potential collective bargaining, though no formal CBA is yet in place.

Greg Sankey should be named the 'Czar' or Commissioner of College Football

The NCAA is useless... Greg Sankey is the most powerful person in college football. So if we want to deem a czar or a commissioner of college football, I'm gonna nominate Greg Sankey because whatever the SEC does... everybody else will follow.

While Sankey remains the SEC commissioner, his influence over the national landscape has only grown with the SEC/Big 10 advisory committee formed in 2024.

Caleb Williams' ceiling is significantly higher than Justin Fields'

I think if you're the Bears, because where Caleb Williams is, I think his ceiling is so much higher than Justin Fields. Justin Fields can develop into a really, really good quarterback... But Caleb Williams has enough of Mahomes stuff in him that you gotta invest in that. Caleb Williams as a passer coming into the National Football League is further along than Justin Fields.

The Bears ultimately traded Fields and drafted Williams #1 overall. The ceiling comparison will take years to fully evaluate.

The 49ers will win Super Bowl 58 because 'it's their time'

This is kind of a heart pick... I just think there's a certain thing to say about it being your time. Like I just think it's the 49ers' time. Like how many times are they gonna knock on this door... they're healthy, the defense I think it's good enough, Brock Purdy has been playing outstanding. I'm picking the 49ers.

The Chiefs defeated the 49ers in Super Bowl 58.

The NFL is 'fixed' and a 'psyop' to ensure the Chiefs reach the Super Bowl for Taylor Swift market share

This is the most psyop, most fucking fixed shit of all time... the NFL had a lot of fucking money to make from a purely market share standpoint. Like we [the Ravens] would've cost the NFL so much money... Roger Goodell, you're a fucking joke. They get fucking little girls to buy Stanley Cup fucking Chiefs gear. Now we got fucking Travis Kelce on Stanley Cups in third grade.

While the Chiefs did win the Super Bowl and Taylor Swift brought immense media value to the NFL, claims of the league 'fixing' games remain unverified conspiracy theories.

US elite athletes and quarterbacks would dominate Olympic Handball with minimal training

I believe it even more [that we would win gold]. Josh Allen could be the best handball player in the world right now... Imagine trying to stop Lamar. You could just take quarterbacks and they would win a gold medal. I think like two weeks of training.

The US Men's Handball team did not qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and while NFL athletes are elite, the lack of crossover makes this purely speculative.
