Xavier Worthy is going to be a problem for everybody

Well, that's the thing is they've got [the Chiefs] got a guy that's gonna be a problem for everybody. I'm gonna, and we said it on draft night, we were like, how did the bills let this happen?

Worthy had a productive rookie season with multiple touchdowns, proving to be a significant deep threat for the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs.

Justin Tucker might be washed

Justin Tucker might be washed. Yeah. Can't hit 50 yarders anymore.

Tucker had a statistically poor 2024 season by his standards, missing several field goals from 50+ yards, supporting the 'washed' narrative.

Chiefs rookie Carson Steele is a star

I knew that we knew Carson Steele was gonna be a star. I didn't think that they were going to put him like front and center in the week one broadcast. But God, I love Croy J. Yeah. What's not to love?

Steele became a valuable rotational piece for the Chiefs throughout the season, validating PFT's belief in his potential.

Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick have beef

I think there might be beef there between Belichick and Kraft. Do you think so? I I mean I'm What would, listen, I wasn't able to make a, a definitive statement on it until I figured out who he followed. Yeah. [Belichick] follows 12 people... No Patriots, no craft.

While not a formal declaration, reports throughout 2024 confirmed significant friction between the two after 'The Dynasty' documentary and Belichick's exit.

The Panthers will be a competent team this season

I love the Panthers in this game just because I, it's my, my rule of you're never as bad as you were the last year... I don't think the Panthers are be good. I think they're gonna be competent. Okay. Which they weren't last year.

The Panthers started 0-2 with embarrassing losses before benching Bryce Young; they remained one of the worst teams in the league.

One of the quarterbacks in the Vikings-Giants game will be surprisingly good, the other will be terrible

I think one of the two quarterbacks in this game [Vikings vs Giants] will be better than expected this year. But I have zero idea which one it will be. I kind of think it's gonna be Daniel Jones... but I think the other one's gonna be terrible.

This was remarkably accurate: Sam Darnold had a Pro Bowl-caliber season for the Vikings, while Daniel Jones struggled and lost his starting job.

The MLB challenge system is better than using full robot umpires

I really, I do like the human part of the game... I think if we're gonna go any anywhere with it, the challenge system, but I think it's, I think full on robot strike zones is, it kind of just removes the purpose of a catcher a little bit.

This is a subjective preference from a professional player regarding the future of the game.

Men posing with their arms around each other is the weirdest thing

We as guys, we as guys gotta stop doing the arms around each other. This picture. It's the fucking weirdest thing we do... There's nothing worse than doing the awkward like post golf round. Yeah. 10 dudes just standing with their arms around each other.

This is a subjective social opinion.
