Blake Bortles will take the starting job from Jeff Driskel in Denver

Let me be perfectly clear Blake Bortles is getting the starting job. I don't think that there's any question about that.

Bortles never started a game for the Broncos; Jeff Driskel and Brett Rypien started in Drew Lock's absence before Lock returned.

The Saints are being held back by Drew Brees

Do you think Saints fans realize it that it's over or do you think they're still holding onto? Oh, The Saints are good enough, which they do have a great roster, but they're being held back by their quarterback. And this isn't just this year. This has been the last like year and a half. It's much more evident right now though.

Brees retired after this season, and the Saints' offensive limitations were a major storyline in their playoff loss to Tampa Bay.

The Saints should start Jameis Winston right now

Unleash Jameis Winston. I got a Meraki I I disagree with you on the Michael Thomas thing... the time is now it is Jameis a clock in New Orleans.

Winston did not start until the following year after Brees retired.

Inherently subjective and a joke.

Zendaya's Emmy win was not a 'biggest upset' because fans were happy about it

She won the Emmy for best actress and the New York Post wrote an article and it said biggest upset in Emmys 2020 over Jennifer Aniston and more... Zendaya stands were all very upset because they're like no one's upset about this like this. No one's upset. Like this is a great thing.

Hank is factually wrong about the definition of 'upset' in a sports/awards context.

The San Francisco 49ers are officially a cursed team this season

My hot seat is the San Francisco 49ers. They have injuries now... Jimmy G, George Kittle, Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman... their MRI truck broke down... Shanahan got fined... They are in Final Destination the snake bitten Team of the Year. They're not they're not hurt or injured. I think they're cursed.

The 2020 49ers ended up being the most injured team in the NFL and missed the playoffs.

I am betting on the Jets because Adam Gase said they are in 'hyperdrive'

My hot seats is the Indianapolis Colts because we're playing the Jets this week and Adam Gase said quote 'it's time to put this thing in hyperdrive.' Okay. So watch out Colts and Jets might score 12 points hyperdrive... I'm gonna have to bet on the Jets this weekend.

Managing COVID-19 protocols is more important than roster talent for winning in 2020

I think more important than everything to win this year's is who handles COVID the best, who handles social distancing the best so that they can have the best players out there.

Roster availability due to COVID protocols was indeed a major storyline and affected several key games in the 2020 season.

Coach O is the alpha in a room full of SEC West coaches

In coaching especially that you got national championship coaches... I would say Coach O probably would win in the end... he would probably bring his own 600 pounds of crawfish to the table too.

Kickers are struggling because NFL stadiums are too quiet without fans

No adversity. There's no dynamic. There's no, you know, you need a dynamic environment to excel... You should feel alive and not like you're a mouse in a laboratory.

We will see a 70-yard field goal in the NFL this season

I think we're gonna see a 70 yard field goal. I wouldn't be surprised if is this year... Whoo. Okay, I like that... the way Butker hit that 58 that that had another 10 on it.

The record was 64 at the time; Justin Tucker broke it in 2021 with a 66-yarder, but nobody has hit 70 in a game.

The Bulls are back after hiring Billy Donovan

Your Chicago Bulls have just hired former Oklahoma City Thunder and Florida head coach Billy Donovan as their head coach... my darling Jake you have that Bulls are back.

The Bulls improved under Donovan but have not returned to championship contention or true 'back' status.
