Brock Purdy is more than just a system quarterback

I still like Brock. I think he's better than just a system guy.

The take is subjective, but Purdy's continued success and MVP-caliber play in subsequent seasons lend weight to the idea that he is a high-level starter.

The Cowboys and 49ers might be the two best teams in the NFC

The Giants just had to play the Cowboys and the 49ers, which might be the two best teams in the NFC, might be the two best teams in the NFC.

The 49ers and Cowboys both finished as top seeds in the NFC (1 and 2), validating this assessment of the conference landscape.

The 49ers would win the Super Bowl if it were played today

If the Super Bowl were today, do you think that the 49ers would win it? Yes, I think so too. I think that they were the best team in the NFL today.

While the 49ers reached the Super Bowl, they did not win it (losing to the Chiefs). This take refers specifically to 'if it were played today' in Week 3.

The Giants and Vikings are suffering from a 'regression monster' after last season

Yikes. But that's also kind of what we expected when it comes to the regression monster that is biting the Vikings and the Giants right now from last year's incredible runs.

Both teams finished with losing records in 2023 (Giants 6-11, Vikings 7-10) after making the playoffs in 2022.

If the Giants only have two wins going into November, they will be the best two-win team in the NFL

If they only have two wins going into November, I think the Giants will be the best two-win team in the entire NFL going into November.

The Giants entered November 2023 with a 2-6 record. Whether they were 'the best' 2-win team is subjective, but they were certainly among the most disappointing.

The 49ers have already clinched a playoff berth after Week 3

The Niners have clinched a playoff berth. Congratulations to the San Francisco 49ers. That's huge.

While they obviously eventually made the playoffs, no team can clinch in Week 3.

The Commanders are a Super Bowl team if they beat the Bills in Week 3

If they [Commanders] win this game, I'm almost thinking soupy [Super Bowl] Big Cat. That's how delusional I'm getting. Why not us?

The Commanders lost 37-3 to the Bills that week and finished the season 4-13.

You can't appreciate a lighthouse if you don't go out to sea

It's good to get away from the lighthouse. It makes it that much better when you see it on the way back. You know, as any sailor knows, you can't appreciate a lighthouse if you don't go out to sea.

This is a poetic, subjective sentiment that cannot be proven or disproven.

The Patriots' lighthouse is not a 'real' lighthouse because it's not visible from a federal body of water

It's not a lighthouse if it's not visible from a federal body of water... It's a fucked up stupid lighthouse. They call it a non-traditional lighthouse. A.k.a. not a lighthouse.

The Coast Guard definition PFT cites is technically for 'federal aids to navigation.' Whether the public considers it a 'lighthouse' is subjective.

Justin Fields' best effort likely won't be enough for the Bears to beat the Chiefs

I do think they're [Bears] gonna give their best effort, but unfortunately for them, their best effort's probably not gonna be enough [against the Chiefs].

The Chiefs blew out the Bears 41-10.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are not actually dating

I think that Travis Kelce is not actually dating Taylor Swift. I think that this is, listen, we've been in the podcast game for a long time. We know it does numbers. Jason Kelce's a very smart guy. I think him going on the air and saying the rumors are a hundred percent true... You don't say a hundred percent if your brother's dating Taylor Swift.

The relationship was confirmed to be genuine and continued through the season and beyond.

The Bengals will 'right the ship' and beat the Rams in Week 3

I'm gonna take the Bengals minus three. I actually think this is the Bengals week to right the ship. I've been the Bengals whisperer... now's the time.

The Bengals beat the Rams 19-16, covering the 3-point spread.

I believe I can win 12 majors in my career

I feel like I can get to 12. I mean, think how many, I've already blown like... I feel like I should have nine right now.

Koepka currently has 5 majors. He needs 7 more to reach this goal.
