Tua Tagovailoa should not have played against the Bengals on Thursday night

The bottom line is I think we talked about this on Sunday night, so it's not like news to us. [Tua] probably shouldn't have been playing tonight. It was scary, especially going into it. We knew that at least we had talked about it, that Tua should not have been in that game.

Tua did suffer a significant concussion during this game, and the NFL/NFLPA later updated concussion protocols as a direct result of this specific sequence of events.

Jeff Bezos should invent an anti-concussion helmet for the NFL

Why hasn't Jeff Bezos tried to invent a machine that can definitively tell you if someone is concussed? Like a helmet that definitively makes it so you can't be concussed? He's invested in football now. He really has gotta put his money where his mouth is. Save football, Jeff Bezos.

The technology for an 'anti-concussion' helmet that prevents all concussions does not currently exist, though safety improvements are constant.

The Bengals are still playing clunky and disorganized football

The Bengals, I don't wanna say they're like back because it does still feel like there's, they have drives where it's just very clunky and disorganized.

The 2022 Bengals did eventually find their rhythm, finishing 12-4 and reaching the AFC Championship game.

The Bengals have the best wide receivers in the NFL

They've got maybe the best receivers in the NFL. Definitively number one, the best receivers in the NFL. Don't ask us who numbers two and three are.

While subjective, many analysts during the 2022 season considered the Bengals trio to be the most complete unit in football.

Aaron Judge will hit his 62nd home run tonight

He's hitting it tonight by the way. Sixty-two. I wanna get hurt. Oh my.

Aaron Judge did not hit his 62nd home run until October 4, 2022, against the Texas Rangers.

Eating 14 hot dogs over 12 hours is not an insane amount of food

The second place person should have 10 hour days. Second place person can probably get out in one day. If they just need 14 hot dogs, they have to bowl 160. I don't think that 14 hot dogs over 12 hours is like an insane amount.

The 'Glizzy Overdrive' eventually happened and 14 hot dogs proved to be a significant challenge when combined with physical activity like bowling.

The Falcons aren't as bad as people think they are

I also just like the Falcons at home, I've kind of a hot take on the Falcons. I actually don't think they're that bad. Their offense is fun. So they're not that bad. I've got a new tier for the Falcons in your power rankings. It's just 'they're not that bad.' They're not as bad as you think they are because their offense when they do get the ball to their playmakers, they're actually scoring a shitload of points.

The 2022 Falcons finished 7-10, which was better than many projected, making them a 'frisky' team but still a losing one.

Nick Chubb could rush for 2,000 yards this season

Nick Chubb. Could he do 2,000 yards this year? I think Nick Chubb is probably, he might be my favorite running back in the NFL. He's maybe not the best overall, he's definitely top five, but I think he's my favorite to watch. It would be crazy if Nick Chubb did it while also sharing carries with Kareem Hunt.

Nick Chubb finished the 2022 season with 1,525 rushing yards, a career high but well short of 2,000.

Adrian Peterson ruined the 2,000-yard rushing benchmark for everyone else

Adrian Peterson ruined the 2,000 yards because he did it right after he was coming off an ACL surgery. So everybody else from that point, if you got an ACL injury, it's like it's not that bad.

Peterson's 2012 season is widely considered one of the most miraculous recoveries in sports history, setting unrealistic standards for others.

The Commanders actually beat the Eagles in three out of four quarters

I went back, I looked at the tape from last week, 24-8 against the Eagles, the Commanders, they actually only lost one quarter. So as we know it's a game a quarter, much like the NBA. And they lost the second quarter 24 to zero. They won the rest of the quarters cumulatively eight to zero. Sounds like the Commanders really beat the Eagles three times out of four to me.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
The literal statement about the score by quarter is a fact claim, though the conclusion that they 'beat' them is satirical.

The Jaguars are being overrated due to beating two injured teams

I'm taking the Eagles here just because I think everyone, I like the Jaguars, nice team. But like put it into perspective, they beat a beat up Colts team that they always beat in Jacksonville and then they beat up a very beat up Chargers team. Then have to fly all the way across the country and play an Eagles team that's rolling. I think it's gonna be a little market correction.

The Eagles beat the Jaguars 29-21 on October 2, 2022, confirming Big Cat's 'market correction' take for that week.

The Ravens might be fraudulent

I just got baited. Yeah, you take the [over]. The Ravens defense sucks. Their defense, they're really bad. Like I'm, for the first time in my life, I'm considering using the word fraud. I think this Ravens team might be fraudulent. I think their defense is just that bad.

The Ravens finished 10-7 and made the playoffs, but their defense did struggle significantly in late-game situations throughout the season.

The Ravens purple jerseys are a brighter shade this season

I have noticed one thing about the Ravens, I think, and I don't think this is just me being weird about it. Their jerseys are brighter this year. Their purple jerseys. I think it's actually a completely different purple.

There was no official change to the Ravens' primary purple Pantone color for the 2022 season, though lighting on broadcasts can vary.

The Packers are not that good

The Packers are not that good. Brian Hoyer is due for a win. They'll, no, they won't be in the hungry dog because I'm not putting the Patriots in anymore.

The 2022 Packers were indeed 'not that good,' finishing 8-9 and missing the playoffs.

Spitting is the new slapping in terms of celebrity drama

Harry Styles is spitting on Chris Pine. All right. That's just gay. I watched the video. That movie is just a lot of drama. I like the slap. The slap was great. It brought America together for an evening. The spit is the new slap.

How long do you think you could survive on the streets? Like a stray? Three weeks. I'm a warrior. I survived out there.

I am officially in my annual 'betting unders' phase

I'm starting to like betting unders and it's a phase I don't like and I do it every year. I win one under and I'm like, that was easy. I'm deep in it right now. I only look at the board and I'm like, 'Oh, I love all these unders.' It's gross. I'll phase out of it and get back to betting on the over for games that I like the under.
