Joe Flacco will start at quarterback for the Browns to buy the coaching staff time

I think what [Kevin Stefanski] is gonna do is start Flacco and then he'll continue to have [Dylan] Gabriel and [Shedeur] Sanders kind of like going shot for shot... he's gonna buy himself a couple weeks by having Flacco start.

The 2025 NFL season has not yet occurred at the time of this episode's date.

Matthew Stafford will miss a few games this season due to injury

I think [Matthew Stafford] can start and finish the season, but I think he'll probably miss a couple games inside the season.

Outcome of the 2025 season is unknown.

The New York Jets will break the NFL record for rushing attempts this season

I think the New York jets this year are going to break the record for rushing attempts. They did a drive yesterday where they only ran it... I think we're just gonna watch Army Navy every single week.

The rushing record is unlikely to be broken in the modern NFL, but the season has not happened.

The UFC should implement a rule requiring submissions after prolonged ground control

I just think that if you take someone down for 25 minutes and wrestle them, you should have to submit them... If you wrestle someone for 25 minutes, you have to submit them. Or else it's impressively boring.

This is a subjective opinion about sport rules.

Betting on Tommy Fleetwood to win the FedEx Cup is a guaranteed loss

I believe in Rob [with two Bs] more than Tommy. I do not believe in Tommy... This is going to be a good bet because he's going to get down to like plus 300 at some point, plus 200. We'll be like, great bet. And then he's going to lose.

The FedEx Cup playoffs are currently ongoing.

MLB realignment and getting rid of the American and National Leagues would be a mistake

Shut the fuck up. Get the fuck out of my clubhouse, Rob [Manfred]... I actually think they should do the opposite. They should get rid of Interleague play... Dial it back, but don't get rid of the leagues. That would be a mistake.

This is a subjective opinion on league structure.

Expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 or 28 teams is way too many

I was fine with 12. I do think there's seasons when you can have those teams from that six to eight range where, hey, they're peaking at the right time. 24? No thank you. This would suck.

The CFP expansion beyond 12 teams is still in the discussion phase.

The Phillies' season is effectively over if Zack Wheeler is out with blood clots

I think [Zack Wheeler] is probably done for the year, which means that the Phillies are probably done. Blood clot sounds bad in his shoulder.

The outcome of Wheeler's health and the Phillies' playoff run is pending.

Tottenham will win the Premier League this year

Tottenham? Really? Yeah, it's their year... Man City? That feels like maybe a safer bet. But Tottenham.

The Premier League season is just beginning.

London should host a Super Bowl and it would be a cool event for the sport

The British ambassador of the US is pushing for a Super Bowl in London. I am down for it... I just think London would be a cool city for a Super Bowl. Better than San Francisco. It'd be a cool event, fun week.

The NFL has not yet awarded a Super Bowl to London, though the debate remains active.

The 2019 LSU Tigers are the best college football team of all time

With Joe [Burrow], I think we could beat anybody. It's gotta be won on the field. Now they've had some other great teams, but I do believe with Joe and the team that we had, we could've beat anybody we played that year... I'd put the LSU team in front of everybody.

This is a subjective historical debate in college football.

Arch Manning is as close to—or maybe even better than—Joe Burrow

Arch [Manning] is as close to or maybe as good as Joe [Burrow] as I've seen. Really. And I've never said that about anybody. I watched his practice, and I'll say this conservatively... Arch is the real deal.

Arch Manning's career is still in its early stages compared to Burrow's Heisman/NFL pedigree.
