Matthew Stafford staying with the Rams makes the most sense because they still have a Super Bowl window

Matthew Stafford staying in Los Angeles with the Rams... I always, always thought made the most sense because the Rams were, you could make the argument like they, they played the Eagles the toughest in, in the playoffs. It feels like they still have a window with Matthew Stafford. I think it's a two-year deal.

Stafford signed a 1-year extension in July 2024 to keep him under contract through 2026, though the 'two-year' phrasing here refers to the remaining window.

Aaron Rodgers will try to bring Davante Adams with him to the Raiders

Aaron Rogers will go. Raiders. I've heard that he's trying to bring Davante [Adams] with him again. So he has a wishlist. And I feel like if I were Aaron, I would just wanna stay in New York and just go to the other locker room.

As of March 2025, Rodgers remains with the Jets but trade rumors involving Adams have persisted.

The Commanders fleeced the 49ers in the Deebo Samuel trade

I was pumped about the Deebo News. Because I love watching Deebo play football. I think he won our first ever award on part of my take for a guy who I like watching play football the most. Fifth round pick fleeced.

The value of a trade is subjective until performance is measured over a full season.

Drake deserves an at-large NCAA Tournament bid no matter what happens in their conference tournament

Texas does not to be deserved to be in. They're bad if like Drake gets kept out instead of Texas. If Drake doesn't win their conference, I'll be very upset. I'm gonna say it right now. Drake deserves to be in no matter what.

Drake's inclusion depends on the Selection Committee's final bracket.

You must win a championship to be considered the face of the NBA

When has there ever been a face of a league that didn't win? Right. You have to win when it matters. You have to win a championship to be considered a face of this league. Agreed. It's not. And obviously if you win, that doesn't automatically mean you're the face of the league.

The definition of 'face of the league' is subjective but historically tracks with MVPs and champions.

The Celtics' loss to the Cavaliers was a 'statement loss' that will motivate them for the playoffs

A fully healthy Celtics team is not loose to the Cavs. It was an absolute ref show, but it was, it was. I mean it's good. It's, it's a, Mazzulla loves those games. He loves having things that he can use to motivate the team and and losing to a team that's gonna have a better record than them going into the playoffs like that. That's good. That was a good statement loss.

Whether a loss provides 'motivation' is unmeasurable.

Saquon Barkley is a better football player than he is a human being, despite being a top-tier person

What an unbelievable person. Like if you, if we just, if you said Saquon Barkley, go, the first thing that would come outta my mouth is, this guy's an unbelievable person. This guy's an unbelievable teammate. This guy's an unbelievable leader. [But] There's no chance [he's a better human than football player]. He's he's better at football than he's human.

The comparison is inherently subjective.

Howie Roseman is the best General Manager in the world

Howie does a great job of that. Yeah. So it, it, it's, it's making my life easier and easier. Every move that he makes, it's awesome. I love it. Yeah. I love it. I love It's the best. It's the best. Yeah. It's, it's the absolute best. He's the, he's the best GM in the world. I have no doubt in my mind.

Roseman is widely regarded as an elite GM, but 'best in the world' is a subjective rank.

The Eagles will take a big swing to trade for Miles Garrett this off-season

I think Philly's gonna try to go hard here. I think Howie is going to make some decisions here in free agency and, and determine who he can live without. And, and I think some of these guys that are up, he's gonna be comfortable walking away from. But I think you make those kind of moves and you, you take a big swing for, for someone like Miles Garrett.

Miles Garrett remains a Brown as of early 2025, but a trade before or during the draft would resolve this.

Right. Where I think that's, that's where it's gonna to They're gonna be, they're gonna be contenders. They're, they're gonna be guys that are going have giving Josh Allen a problem.

The New York Giants will be aggressive in trying to trade up with the Titans for a quarterback

I think the Giants are gonna try to get up. To trade out with the Titans. I think they're gonna be aggressive in this. They're obviously also keeping their eye on Stafford and, and Tennessee is open for business. Like, I, I think the approach that they are gonna have headed into this is we need to get some picks.

The 2025 NFL Draft will resolve this prediction.

The NFL should never hold a Super Bowl abroad because it belongs to America

The NFL can't do a Super Bowl abroad. Can you make sure that doesn't happen? It sucks. It's our game. It would suck ass. Don't do that. No, it's our game. It's America's game. You can't give the game to another country.

This is a subjective opinion on the league's direction.
