The Tennessee vs Oklahoma game is a playoff elimination game

I'd say the game that intrigues me most is a pure playoff elimination game in Knoxville... Tennessee, Oklahoma, absolute winner is alive, loser is dead. And the Oklahoma fans very down on Brent Venables. They'll love him if he wins.

Oklahoma lost and did fall out of playoff contention; Tennessee won and stayed alive.

Marcus Freeman has already signed a secret contract extension with Notre Dame

I think Marcus Freeman already signed his new contract. I'm saying it right now. I think Marcus Freeman will have his new contract announced at the end of the season, but he's already signed it.

Freeman eventually signed an extension, though exact timing of 'secret' signing is hard to verify.

Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline would be a home run hire for a Big 10 head coaching job

What about Brian Hartline, the offensive coordinator at Ohio State? Best receivers coach in the world. I will say that like the, I'm not being hyperbolic. He's, he's better than anybody else in college and probably better than anybody in the NFL. He's one of the best recruiters ever. Heartline because of who he can recruit to your program probably commands a little bit higher first step.

Hartline has not yet taken a head coaching job as of mid-2024, but his 'home run' status is subjective.

Ohio State is currently a super team that is so good it's almost boring

Ohio State... they're so good. They're boring. Yeah. And their schedule's not helping. 'cause the teams that were supposed to be good on their schedule have kind of stunk... they're just loaded top to bottom.

Iowa could make the 12-team playoff if they run the table

I'll give you a a one that I think is really interesting and they're not even ranked yet... Iowa. Iowa's gotta run the table. But they're if they can beat USC they have to beat Oregon too... if you can beat both those two teams, you can win out and you will make the playoff at 10 and two with that record and that schedule.

Iowa did not make the 12-team playoff in 2024.

LSU is the premier coaching job opening in college football

I had LSU number one and I had Florida number two. And the reason I had LSU number one, three of the last four coaches have won national titles... every kid who lives in the state grows up in the state, wants a, wants to grow up and be a Tiger. LSU has an advantage that only Ohio State really has anywhere else.

Arkansas is a top-4 coaching job because of corporate NIL funding

My number four is, is gonna piss off some people... Arkansas. I looked at the John Calipari hire in basketball. Tyson Foods obviously putting a lot of the money toward that. They have massive corporate support there. Walmart's all over their field and all over their stadium. If they get their corporate money excited, you can be funded very well at Arkansas.

Opinion on job ranking based on NIL potential.

Shohei Ohtani might be the best athlete we will ever see in any sport

[Shohei Ohtani] is getting into the territory of one, he's somehow underpaid. Two, he might be the best athlete we ever watch, play any sport. It's getting into the Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, these territories where in 50 years you could see yourself saying, remember when we got to watch Shohei Ohtani.

Dodger Stadium has a very cool vintage 1970s aura

I don't know, I was seeing some people say that there's a lack of aura in Los Angeles... at least just from personal experience, we went to that stadium. That stadium has Aura. Yeah. That stadium is cool as fuck. It's the worst place to get in and out of. But when you're in there, it has like a very cool vintage seventies type vibe.

Terry McLaurin might be having financial problems because of a house lien

Did you guys see that there was a report that Terry McLaurin had a lien out on his house? ... I would say that there might be more to this story that's coming out. If you give 23 year olds $10 million, guess what? They're probably not gonna have $10 million when they're 30.

This claim about McLaurin's financial status is based on a specific report of a lien which does not always indicate total financial ruin.

The Chiefs are definitely going to win the Super Bowl

Mahomes is back to being full on Mahomes... they're just really, really good. They're, they're, they're gonna win the Super Bowl. They, they're not, and I wanna clarify... the Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. These are, these are facts.

The Chiefs did not win the Super Bowl in the season concluding in Feb 2026 (assuming current date context). If this is the 2024 season, they won; but the prompt date is 2025.

The Colts are currently the best team in football

The Colts are the best team in football right now. The Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. Those two things can exist.

The Colts were not widely considered the best team in late October 2024 or 2025. This is likely a 'moment in time' overreaction.

If the Commanders lose this Sunday, the wheels are falling off the season

Sunday is where it has to start. I think Jayden [Daniels] is playing... I'd say that if we don't win this this weekend, the wheels are falling off. Yeah. And I, I did look at mock drafts today.

Commanders' season health and outcome after that specific Sunday.

TV networks should force in-house umpires to wear full gear during broadcasts

I have a dumb sports rule for you guys... our friends of Fox were going to the in-house umpire Mark Carlson. He was wearing a suit and tie. I think the in-house umpire should have to wear a full chest protector and mask because baseball's the one sport where managers wear full uniforms. Why aren't we doing that?

A subjective suggestion for broadcast aesthetics.

Trix Yogurt is an elite-tier snack

TRX Yogurt is elite. The best. No free ads, but that's a good free ads. Do they exist? ... TRX Yogurt was discontinued in 2016... but it's since returned to the market.
