Brooks Koepka is officially back to his old major championship form

Brooks Koepka is back to his old form, silencing the haters of which there are many. He's just, he's healthy now... the fact that he went out there and he proved that he can do it to himself and he's now leading a major championship after 18 holes. That is like the big psychological hurdle he is gonna get over.

Koepka finished T2 at the 2023 Masters and went on to win the PGA Championship later that year, proving he had indeed returned to elite major form.

Joel Embiid officially clinched the MVP with his 52-point performance against the Celtics

Joel Embiid are like goldfish. It's just the last thing they saw. So he had the 52 point game against the Celtics on Tuesday night... I feel like that performance in a game against the Celtics was like, alright, officially Embiid is the MVP.

Joel Embiid was officially named the 2022-23 NBA MVP on May 2, 2023.

The Mac Jones and Bill Belichick feud is a media-driven narrative that won't result in a trade

Mac Jones is my quarterback. And this is a media driven narrative to try and create division within the most successful NFL franchise of the past 25 years... They also aren't going to trade him. The only person who reported that was Mike Florio, who's one of the greatest fiction of the 21st century.

The Patriots did not trade Mac Jones during the 2023 offseason; he remained the starter for the majority of the 2023 season before being traded in 2024.

Patrick Mahomes would not perform well in Kyle Shanahan's highly structured offense

I don't actually think Mahomes would do that well in [Shanahan's offense]... I think it's too structured for Mahomes' play style. [The Chiefs] let him cook more often than not.

Mahomes is widely considered the most adaptable QB in the league, and Shanahan's system has made stars out of far lesser talents like Brock Purdy.

I can read defensive progressions at a higher level than half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL

How many NFL teams do you think you could start for now... I believe I can read that progression and deliver a ball that is gonna be completed [better than half the league]... It's the ability to read down the field progressions... I can honestly say that I believe I can read that at that progression and deliver a ball that is gonna be completed.

While subjective, Kelly has not been signed by an NFL team since this take, and while he won the CFL MVP in 2023, he hasn't had the chance to prove it against NFL competition.

Lamar Jackson isn't worth $200 million guaranteed because offensive coordinators prefer passers

If we were to pull up [Lamar Jackson's] best game, you would probably be like, all right, do you really pay him 200 million? Guaranteed... a lot of offensive coordinators they want to throw the ball.

Lamar Jackson signed a $260 million deal with $185 million guaranteed shortly after this and won his second MVP in 2023, largely disproving the idea he wasn't worth a massive guarantee.

I officially hate t-shirt weather because I am not physically ready for it

My fire fest is, it happens every year... it's t-shirt weather again. And I'm not ready. I'm wearing spanks again. I'm back on the spanks. So this is a temporary, like a bandaid over a gaping, gaping wound... I gotta figure out how to lose like 40 pounds.

This is a subjective personal feeling about his physical readiness for summer.
