Signing Will Smith is the best investment for any MLB team

Will Smith... is a three time World Series champion. First player to ever win three consecutive world series on three different teams. I think his salary this year was $1.5 million. Best investment of all time. Go, go. Every, every team should try to go sign him.

Will Smith did indeed win three consecutive World Series with the Braves (2021), Astros (2022), and Rangers (2023).

Will Levis is a legitimate NFL quarterback

Will Levis is good. He's the guy that was a game that you thought Short rest, going to Pittsburgh. Tough defense. Tough pass rush. I did not think that he would have the game that he had... His spiral is beautiful. You know what? It's effortless. The ball looks, looks different.

While Levis has shown flashes, the verdict on him being a definitive franchise 'guy' is still out as he remains a starter for the Titans.

The Pittsburgh Steelers play the ugliest but most entertaining games in the NFL

I kind of love the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fact that they play the ugliest games, but they're a lot of fun. Yeah. Because they're always close And. it feels like they're always dramatic because this is the, the Pittsburgh Steeler way.

Subjective assessment of entertainment value and play style.

You must bet on the Dolphins in the Germany game because of the Chiefs' late travel

I would love to bet the Chiefs, but the travel is so far in my head and we've seen it... the Chiefs are getting into Germany. Like right now they're practicing one time. They're practicing on Friday. One time McDaniel got the guys in there on like Monday or Tuesday... We bet the dolphins we're betting on the clock.

The Chiefs actually won the game in Frankfurt 21-14, proving the travel logic wrong in this instance.

The NFL has finally figured out Travis Kelce

Has the NFL figured out Travis Kelce finally? Well, I think it's the, the NFL has finally figured out that the Chiefs might have some work in progress when it comes to wide receiver position.

Kelce remained an elite tight end through the rest of the season and won another Super Bowl, proving he wasn't 'figured out'.

Taylor Heineke will keep the Falcons starting job over Desmond Ridder

I think Heineke is gonna take this job. So if Heineke plays well then Arthur Smith will be like, well you know, we gotta ride. We gotta ride the hot hand for a little bit and then we'll go back to Ritter once Heineke starts stinking. But no, I think Heineke is gonna take this job.

Heineke started several games but eventually Ridder regained the job for a period. The quarterback carousel in Atlanta continued all season.

Bill Belichick to the Commanders is a real possibility

Josh Harris wants a big splash. He wants a big name Coach Belichick probably at the end of his tenure in New England. Why not get him to dc? He can coach lacrosse at the Naval Academy. Annapolis is like 30 minutes from FedEx Field... I think these conversations are happening.

Belichick and the Patriots parted ways, but he was not hired by the Commanders; Dan Quinn was hired instead.

Bet on any team playing the Bears to win their division

I've told everyone, If, you want to If you like the Saints this week. Which you should. 'cause they'll beat the Bears. Bet 'em to win the, the, the division. Now's the time. It's a free win bet. Every team who play, every team who plays the Bears just bet that team to win the division. 'cause you know, you'll get at least better odds once they beat the Bears.

This is a strategy take rather than a specific prediction, but the Saints (the team they were discussing) did not win the division; the Buccaneers did.

The Cowboys are frauds if they lose to the Eagles

I say if the Cowboys lose this game. Frauds. Yeah. We're we're, we're gonna call 'em frauds. Yep. If the Eagles lose this game and it's close, we're gonna say, should you take out the panic button?

The Cowboys did lose to the Eagles 28-23. While they had a good regular season, their early playoff exit cemented the 'fraud' label for many critics.

Antonio Pierce will provide an immediate 'interim coach bounce' for the Raiders

I love the Raiders in this game. 'cause Antonio Pierce feels like it's the perfect interim head coach bounce... Antonio Pierce feels like it's the perfect interim head coach bounce except for the fact that the guy calling the plays now for the Raiders... is from the Adam Gase Coaching Tree.

The Raiders dominated the Giants 30-6 in Pierce's first game as interim head coach.

The 'running back by committee' approach is killing back pay and star development

A lot of those guys are so talented that teams only highlighted, you know, you just highlight that specialty. Instead of allowing those guys to become the total package, like force those guys to be three down backs. Everybody is kind of running back by committee... that's the reason why [they don't get paid]. 'cause you don't get to display an, it's higher body of work.

The 2001 Miami Hurricanes' defense was harder to play against than any college opponent

My competition was, we gotta figure out how we kick Ed Reed ass today. We gotta figure out how we kick Philip Buchanan ass today. That's Wilford. Like Jonathan Vilma... That was our competition. It was the defense... our practices used to be so crazy... If, if I walked up and one of you guys walked up, I'm like, that's a wasted rep to me.

Recounting personal experience of practice intensity.

Super Bowl Pick: Eagles vs. Ravens

I like the Eagles. I think... in the NFC, they're the most complete team right now... And AFC if Lamar continues to develop... If that defense hit stride in, in December, January... I think the Ravens become tough... I think he brings a different element and dimension to that team.

Neither team made the Super Bowl. The Ravens lost in the AFC Championship to the Chiefs, and the Eagles collapsed and lost in the Wild Card round.

I did not see anything supernatural on the plane

I did not see anything. What I mean, I think y'all knew that. No I did not... I got a bit of an altercation. It spiraled outta control... It was an expression of speech. I just was in my fields needed to get off that. I was highly distressed. Not a good look.

The speaker is the primary source clarifying a viral moment.

I was the one who did not press the publish button... The system broke, but the, the system will not break again... My system is that I check before I do the [tweet]. I'll never tweet the tweet without seeing, seeing. It's up on, on Apple... I broke my system.
