The Davante Adams trade was a masterclass in PR by the New York Jets

This is actually a masterclass in PR by Woody Johnson and his son, Brick Johnson and the entire New York Jets organization because they didn't even let the media have a single news cycle where we're talking about what happened on Monday night. And also thank you for just wiping that memory of that game out of my brain immediately.

The trade did dominate the news cycle immediately after the Jets' loss to the Bills.

Aaron Rodgers will eventually play for the Minnesota Vikings

I have been hoping for the last two years that the way this would all shake out for Aaron Rodgers is he goes to the Jets and then he goes to the Vikings. He does the Brett Favre. Like the guy he started his career out hating the most. It's like you become your parents at some point in life when you get older.

Rodgers is currently still on the Jets.

A head coach cannot have a beard as long as Jeff Ulbrich's

I don't think you could have a beard that long as a head coach. I'm just saying in terms of if you're looking at a head coach, like if you're mocking up a head coach, when are you drawing in a massive beard? The beard just doesn't give head coach vibes.

This is an entirely subjective aesthetic opinion.

I am 100% confident the Washington Wizards will get Cooper Flagg

All I'm saying is I've never been as confident. I've never been as confident in my life of anything as the fact that the wizards are gonna get Cooper Flagg. I'm willing to tell you right now, I will stand on this hill and I will plant my representative banner to say that we're getting Flagg.

The 2025 NBA draft hasn't happened yet, but odds make this statistically unlikely to be a 'lock'.

The Ryder Cup pricing is a mistake that ruins home field advantage

People are very upset about the prices for the upcoming Ryder Cup. Next summer at Bethpage... it's $750 for a day. Normally I would say golf fans probably have expendable money... but this is such a fuck you and a mistake to trying to get a home field advantage. If you price out rowdy New Yorkers who want to go to the Ryder Cup and scream heinous shit at all the Europeans, you've completely ruined this.

The ticket prices are objectively $750; the impact on home field advantage is subjective but widely debated.

The Chargers at 45-to-1 to win the Super Bowl is an incredible value

I've decided to put a future on the Chargers to win the Super Bowl. They're 45-to-1. I don't think they're gonna win the Super Bowl. I do think we'd get in a spot where they get to the playoffs and we could potentially hedge. This is Jim Harbaugh's team. This is Jim Harbaugh's football team. I think they're gonna get to 10 wins.

The Chargers season is ongoing.

Eli Manning is the greatest big-game quarterback I have ever seen

People argue with me, I get it. But he's the greatest big-game quarterback that I've ever seen. I mean the way he approached things and the fact that he really accepted the challenge. He wanted the challenge... I've seen him do it under any circumstance you can imagine.

Subjective claim by a coach about his former player, though Manning's two Super Bowl MVPs support the 'big game' narrative.

I will not drink alcohol until Thanksgiving to train for my dunk attempt

I'm going. I'm not drinking till Thanksgiving... I'm training every day. It's not something I've like forgot about. Overdrive.

Whether Hank remains sober until Thanksgiving is a verifiable future outcome.

College football is better than it has ever been

I have a belief now that college football is better than it has ever been. And I know there was a lot of handwringing going on with all the changes happening. But we're now in a spot and there's gonna be more change. I get it. Expansion, all that stuff with the NIL. The NIL and the portal flattening it out. So it doesn't feel like this year, maybe Texas, but it doesn't feel outside of Texas that there's those like two or three super teams that no one has a chance against.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the sport, though data shows high viewership and parity in 2024.

Texas is inevitable and is in a tier by themselves

Texas, to me, Texas will learn a lot about them this weekend. I feel like they're inevitable. I feel like this is Texas and then everybody else.

Texas lost to Georgia shortly after this take, showing they were not entirely 'inevitable'.
