The Bears should trade for Matthew Stafford

What do you want for your birthday? Let's get you Matt Stafford. I would take that. Absolutely.

Stafford was traded shortly after this episode, but to the Rams, not the Bears.

Matt LaFleur's decision to kick a field goal on 4th and goal was the most cowardly move ever

The most cowardice field goal of all time. Matt LaFleur, I do not understand what you're doing. The decision to kick a field goal with two 10 to 15 left, three timeouts down eight on the seven yard line fourth and goal so that you can seemingly go from down one score to down one score... was so beyond.

This is a subjective tactical opinion, though it is widely regarded as one of the worst late-game decisions in playoff history.

The torch for the worst fourth down field goal decision has passed from Dan Quinn to Matt LaFleur

The Packers are the first team to attempt a field goal when trailing by four to eight points in the final three minutes of a game since Dan Quinn did that on November 8th, 2015. So I think today is the day. It is officially the torch. The torch has been passed. It is now a Matt LaFleur.

Subjective show lore, but based on a verifiable stat that LaFleur was the first to do it since Quinn.

Todd Bowles is a top 8 coach in the NFL

I'm taking out my take that I retired like three years ago. Todd Bowles, great coach. Todd Bowles, top eight coach in the NFL.

Subjective ranking. Bowles went on to win the Super Bowl as DC and eventually became the Bucs head coach, maintaining a respectable career.

Aaron Rodgers clearly wants out of Green Bay

One last Packers note, Aaron Rodgers clearly wants out of Green Bay. I'm pretty sure Aaron Rodgers is going to be back on the Packers next year. I don't know.

Rodgers did want out, but he stayed with Green Bay for two more full seasons (2021 and 2022) before finally being traded to the Jets in 2023.

Tom Brady has lost a step of quickness in the pocket

I don't know if it's the arm strength, by the way. I think his arm strength is almost still there. It's weirdly like his quickness in the pocket. I think that has lost a tiny little step that makes it a little harder for the throws.

Subjective observation of physical traits.

The Chiefs can flip the switch whenever they want

Whoops I fucked up like the Chiefs are so fucking good and yes guess what turns out they can flip the switch they can flip it whenever they want it doesn't really matter... they broke the Switch tonight.

Verification of the 'Switch' narrative after they dominated the Bills.

The only way to beat the Chiefs is to assault them with deadly weapons

The only way to beat the Chiefs is to actually assault them all with deadly weapons. Someone needs to die. And until that happens, I don't see how the Bucs beat them.

The Bucs actually beat the Chiefs in the Super Bowl using a standard defensive game plan (though very effective).

I am betting on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl

I'm not going to make the same mistake. I'm going to bet on the Chiefs. My bet is the Chiefs.

The Chiefs lost Super Bowl 55 to the Buccaneers 31-9.

Three Super Bowl titles is the threshold for a dynasty

I think dynasty is always three of four or three in a row. You need to win three titles to have official claim of a dynasty or decade. I think that's fair.

Subjective definition of a sports term.

Eric Bieniemy might be waiting for Andy Reid to retire to take the Chiefs job

Why isn't anyone thrown out there that maybe he's just waiting for Andy Reid to retire? Because if Andy Reid – and just hear me out... if you're Eric Bieniemy and Andy Reid says to you, I'm going three more years, four more years, you still get like 15 years of Patrick Mahomes.

Bieniemy eventually left the Chiefs to be the OC for the Commanders in 2023, while Reid remained head coach of the Chiefs.

Conor McGregor is done being a consistent threat for the UFC belt

I asked the question, is he done in terms of like – is he done being a threat for the belt consistently? It feels like that. I don't know it well enough, but it feels like that just by the fact that he's fought like three times in the last four years and one of them was an old dude who he beat and he's lost twice.

Since this take, McGregor lost to Poirier again and has not won a fight or been a serious contender for a title (as of early 2024).

Coach K is a quintessential jerk for belittling a student reporter

Coach K was asked the question... by a student reporter from the Duke Chronicle... asking Coach K where do you guys go from here which is a very routine question... and Coach K essentially embarrassed and belittled this kid... How can you defend this, Hank? He's such a jerk. He's a quintessential jerk.

Subjective character assessment.

It is time for Coach K to think about stepping down

Listen, maybe it's time for Coach K to think about stepping down.

Coach K announced his retirement just a few months later (June 2021) and coached one final season in 2021-2022.
