A second spit in an NFL altercation counts as self-defense

I think that a second spit is self-defense.

The NFL rules state any spitting on an opponent is an automatic ejection and unsportsmanlike conduct, regardless of who started it.

The Eagles are the best team in the NFL right now

But they are the best team in the NFL. They won the Super Bowl. They're also the only team that's 1-0.

This is subjective but grounded in the fact they are the reigning champions in this transcript's narrative.

I am officially back in on Kyle Pitts this season

I'm officially back in on Kyle Pitts. Oh no. I'm officially back in. Hear me out... [Kirk Cousins] is a different quarterback than has been throwing the ball to Kyle Pitts over the last two years. He might be smart enough to realize that Kyle Pitts is really theoretically good at football.

Kyle Pitts' performance would be measured against the full NFL season.

The Giants will be a 'Muck It Up' team that stays in games but doesn't win many

I have the Giants circled as my Muck It Up team that's not gonna win a lot of games, but will be in a lot of games... I think the Giants will keep a lot of games. I think the Giants are the team that you'll look up in the second half of most games and be like, why is that? It's 13-10.

Evaluation required at the end of the 2025 regular season.

The Packers are the best team in the NFL by far and will win the Super Bowl

I'm gonna take the Packers in this game. The Packers are the best team in the NFL. I don't even think it's close. Not close. They're gonna win the Super Bowl... If the Packers somehow don't win the Super Bowl, which it's would be pretty crazy. If they don't, I will be first in line saying I was wrong.

Depends on the outcome of Super Bowl 60.

The Super Bowl will be Detroit vs. Buffalo

I'm going Detroit and, and Buffalo. That'd be great. Right. It's between both these teams you like, you like the stories, you like Dan Campbell... Buffalo's kind of been my AFC team for a while. Love Josh Allen.

Wait and see for the 2025-26 season conclusion.

The Giants defense will be ferocious and cause problems for the league

Their defense is, is set up to be very good, especially kind of in a pass happy league they can get to quarterback... they can get sack fumbles, they can get, you know, get to the quarterback and really, you know, cause some problems.

Requires tracking Giants defensive stats throughout the 2025 season.

The Chargers might take a step back and regress this year

I'm not sure about the Chargers. You know, I think Pete Carroll coming to the Raiders and... I think they could surprise some people and make that division a lot more interesting. So I think maybe a team from that division [Chargers] might take a step back.

Performance in the 2025 season will determine if the Chargers regress from their previous standing.
