Taylor Heinicke has 'it'

I think Taylor Heinicke has it. I don't know what it is. He's got something. He's got it. The Heineking is what they're calling him.

Heinicke became a cult hero in DC but eventually settled back into a journeyman/backup role, suggesting he had the moxie but lacked the high-end talent to be a franchise savior.

Standalone primetime NFL games that look bad on paper are almost always guaranteed to be awesome

If anything we've learned with the NFL... when you have a game that you say to yourself, this game stinks, it's a standalone primetime game. It is almost always guaranteed to be fucking awesome. Because that game ruled.

This is a recurring phenomenon in the NFL, though 'awesome' is subjective. Statistically, close games in primetime drive this narrative.

Daniel Jones is the fastest player in the NFL

He's the fastest player in the NFL that's what next gen stats taught us last year he was faster than Lamar Jackson

While Jones did record the fastest top speed in 2020 (21.23 mph), he is not consistently the fastest player compared to Tyreek Hill or Lamar Jackson.

Saquon Barkley might not be good anymore

I just want to shout out real quick because I had a take today that Saquon Barkley... Maybe is he not good? I don't know. But he's been injured... it's also like you watch him play, and there are times you're like, wait, what is he looking at?

Barkley had a major resurgence in 2022 and 2023, proving he was still an elite back once fully recovered from his ACL injury.

The Texans +12.5 is way too many points in an NFL game

The Texans... Plus 12 and a half. That's a lot of points in the NFL, especially in week two, especially coming off a win.

The Browns beat the Texans 31-21. The Texans covered the +12.5 spread.

The Nicki Minaj 'swollen balls' story is a Joe Biden psyop

I actually think this might be a psyop. This might be a story planted by Joe Biden himself to make people want to get the vaccine. Because knowing guys, as I do, if you hear that there's medicine out there that makes your balls huge, there's going to be some dudes that are going to be like, you know what? I could use a little bit of inflation.

It is a satirical conspiracy theory and not a factual claim.

Max Verstappen was at fault for the crash with Lewis Hamilton at Monza

Max's car is literally on Lewis's head, and he just walked away... I said Max is a jerk... Max obviously drives to the edge... I would say my rule of thumb is nine times out of 10. If you drive over another guy's head, it's probably your fault.

F1 stewards officially ruled Verstappen was 'predominantly to blame' for the incident and handed him a three-place grid penalty for the next race.

Saltwater crocodiles are the most fearsome predators in the wild

Probably a saltwater crocodile. Don't mess with the salties... I put them as number one in terms of fearsome predator been around since the dinosaurs for a reason... you're in the water with a salty you're in trouble.

Saltwater crocodiles have the strongest bite force of any living animal and are highly aggressive apex predators.

To make wild food taste good, just burn the hell out of it

The magic ingredient is burn the hell out of it. You just got to burn the hell out of it... whatever it is, just burn the hell out of it. And it's OK. It kind of baked all that fluid out... just like a burnt sausage.

Charring food can mask offensive flavors and kill bacteria, which is crucial in survival situations.

The weekly NFL MVP award has tarnished the importance of the actual MVP

The importance of the MVP award has been tarnished. Now they're doing one weekly. I don't like that.

This is a subjective opinion on sports media trends.
