Kirk Cousins will eventually break everyone's heart

I'm not ready to crown Kirk Cousins. I think he's still going to break everyone's heart. It's going to happen eventually. Of course.

Cousins eventually did lose a major primetime playoff game against the Giants in 2022, though he remained statistically solid for much of his tenure.

The Washington Nationals are a team of destiny

The Washington Nationals. We said it on Wednesday. It rings true today. They are a team of destiny. Big time.

The Nationals did win the 2019 World Series.

You don't need a bullpen in baseball; you can just use starting pitchers

I also think it'd be hilarious if the Nationals somehow stumbled their way in ass backwards to figuring out that you don't actually need a bullpen in baseball. You can just put your starting pitchers in to be your bullpen the entire time. And you don't actually need three days rest or four days rest.

The 2019 Nationals effectively used Corbin and Scherzer in relief to win the World Series.

A Rams, Colts, and Packers moneyline parlay cannot lose this week

All three teams won: Rams (24-10), Colts (15-13), Packers (31-24).

Playing Patrick Mahomes against the Packers would be Andy Reid's dumbest decision

If Andy Reid plays Patrick Mahomes, this will go down as the dumbest decision that he's ever made in a career that's been largely defined by singular dumb decisions that he's made during games.

Mahomes did not play in the Week 8 game against the Packers.

The Bears will kill the Chargers this weekend

I think the Bears are going to kill the Chargers. I do... They will win this game easily because the Chargers' offense has problems. Their offensive line has problems. The Chargers are a soft football team.

The Chargers beat the Bears 17-16 after a missed game-winning field goal by Eddy Pineiro.

The Chiefs will beat the Packers outright without Patrick Mahomes

What do you think the line would be if Mahomes was playing?... I think they're going to win outright.

The Packers won 31-24.

Hiring David Ross to manage the Cubs is a great idea

My stardom is David Ross. When would it ever be a bad idea to hire everyone's best friend to be the manager and boss? That's not going to be bad at all.

Ross managed the Cubs from 2020-2023 with mixed results and was eventually fired for Craig Counsell.

I would return to WWE for $20 to $25 million

I think the conversation would have to start at somewhere like, I don't know, 20, 25 [million].

Punk eventually returned to WWE in 2023. Contract terms were not disclosed but were rumored to be very high.

WWE intentionally fired me on my wedding day out of malice

It's impossible to think that it [firing] was anything but done maliciously and on purpose... they didn't ruin my day... I talk to Triple H two days before that and he was like, hey, let's talk. I was like, can I talk after my honeymoon? My wife worked there. She asked for the day off to get married. So the idea that they didn't know that that was the date and I was getting married is impossible.

WWE executives (Vince McMahon) later apologized, claiming it was a coincidence of legal paperwork processing, but the timing is universally seen as suspect.

The Washington Redskins should change their name

I'm especially scarred over the last two decades of Daniel Snyder's ownership of the Washington Redskins. I think the Washington Redskins should change their name.

The team changed its name to the Washington Football Team in 2020 and then Commanders in 2022.

The expansion team was indeed named the Waterdogs Lacrosse Club in 2020.

Tom Brady will be the starting quarterback for the Chargers in 2020

So you can see pretty easily by those three facts that Tom Brady is going to be the quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers next year.

Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.

Tom Brady could return to the 49ers just to 'cuck' Jimmy Garoppolo again

I was going to say how funny it would be if he just went to San Francisco and was like, I want to finish my hometown team. Jimmy, you're out. Just cucks Jimmy again.

Brady never signed with the 49ers.
