The Dolphins continue to be candy-ass frauds who always suck

The Patriots probably are good, and the Dolphins continue to be their candy-ass fraud selves. I'm so sick of the Dolphins. I think we need to put an official disclaimer every year. Like, hey, the Dolphins might start hot. Just remember, they always suck.

The Dolphins started 3-0 but finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs in 2018.

The Patriots are officially back

The Patriots look pretty good, I guess... The Patriots are kind of back, I think. This is their annual thing where they make us think that they're done with the dynasty.

The Patriots won Super Bowl LIII later this season.

Mitch Trubisky is the best quarterback in the NFL

The order was – Mitch Trubisky is the best quarterback probably in the NFL. Order was restored to how it should be.

While Trubisky had a career day, he was never the best QB in the NFL and his career eventually fizzled as a starter.

The Jaguars are the ultimate up-and-down team that mails it in after big wins

The Jaguars are the ultimate up-and-down team. Every single week. If they have a big win, they will completely mail in the next week. And then off that, I think Doug Marrone just has them on a yo-yo.

The 2018 Jaguars were highly inconsistent, finishing 5-11 after making the AFC Championship game the previous year.

Jason Witten is a robot and will never be a good broadcaster

Now that [Tony Romo] realized Jason Witten is a robot and never will be good... he has obviously been told, hey, man, you need to start using emotions like humans do. That way they can tell that you're not a computer program. And in the middle of sentences, he would just start smiling... just to tell people that I'm a human being.

Witten's broadcasting career was widely panned, and he returned to playing after just one season in the booth.

Conor McGregor will lose to Khabib Nurmagomedov

My Who's Back of the Week is Conor McGregor... maybe because he's going to lose. He is going against Khabib... who wrestled bears as a child.

Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Conor McGregor by submission at UFC 229 on October 6, 2018.

Aaron Rodgers is surly, malcontent, and uncoachable

They hate each other. They always have hated each other. It's great to watch. Aaron Rodgers, surly, malcontent, uncoachable.

The relationship between Rodgers and McCarthy deteriorated to the point where McCarthy was fired in December 2018.

Aaron Rodgers is a system quarterback

Aaron Rodgers, uncoachable. I mean, look at his track record with backup quarterbacks. Aaron Rodgers is a system quarterback. Yes, exactly.

This is a satirical take that is fundamentally incorrect given Rodgers' individual talent and multiple MVP awards.

Bryce Harper will sign with the Phillies

To be honest with you, I think Philadelphia... Philadelphia's trying to win a World Series the next few years.

Bryce Harper signed a 13-year, $330 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies in February 2019.

The Red Sox middle relief is their biggest postseason concern

I'm a little concerned, to be honest with you, about the middle reliever. You know, I think we need to approach the opposition better when it comes down to it... once Sale got out of the game in the 6 or 7, those inning and a half, I want to make sure that we are covered.

The Red Sox bullpen actually performed remarkably well in the 2018 postseason, particularly Nathan Eovaldi and Craig Kimbrel, en route to a title.

James Franklin made the worst play call of all time against Ohio State

James Franklin had somehow the worst play call off of two timeouts that I've ever seen. The Ohio State-Penn State game... fourth and five, needs it to keep the game alive. He's got three timeouts. He uses two of them to decide what to call and then calls a handoff that went nowhere.

While 'worst of all time' is subjective, the call is universally regarded as one of the biggest coaching blunders in Penn State history.

France is not a golf country

Ryder Cup. What a waste of a tournament. France is not a golf country. I agree. France is not a golf country.

This is a subjective opinion based on American sports frustration; France has several world-class courses.
