Bill Belichick will sign Nick Foles just to berate him for the Super Bowl loss

I actually have a theory about what's going to happen. I think Belichick's going to grab [Nick] Foles. If for nothing else, just so that he can stash him and berate him every day, being like, you son of a bitch, you beat me in the Super Bowl.

Nick Foles signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2019 offseason, not the Patriots.

Nick Foles will sign with the Jaguars or Broncos and won't be that good

I feel like Nick Foles is destined to end up on a team like, I don't know, the Jaguars or maybe the Broncos. He feels like a Broncos quarterback up and down. And then he's just not going to be that good. And everyone's like, well, but he won a Super Bowl.

Foles signed a massive contract with the Jaguars in March 2019 and was benched for Gardner Minshew after struggling and getting injured.

Taysom Hill will be the next Drew Brees

I am convinced now that Sean Payton will have the next Drew Brees in Taysom Hill because he had that one throw... Taysom Hill's throwing 50-yard bombs. It's not fair.

Taysom Hill never became a full-time successful starting quarterback like Brees, remaining a gadget player/utility knife for most of his career.

Philip Rivers is officially a choker in the playoffs

I love him, but he's a choker... 12-4, they looked good. I don't know. I don't know what to make of it. I feel sad. I'm sad for Phil Rivers, and he has eight children to go home to.

Rivers finished his career with a 5-7 playoff record and never reached a Super Bowl, supporting the 'choker' or 'can't win the big one' narrative.

I am 80% confident the Patriots will beat the Chiefs in Kansas City

[Big Cat]: What's your confidence level going to Kansas City? [Hank]: 80%.

The Patriots defeated the Chiefs 37-31 in overtime to advance to the Super Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes points too much for first downs

My other thing I noticed about Patrick Mahomes... he points too much. He points too much for first downs.

Subjective observation of Mahomes' on-field behavior.

The front of Patrick Mahomes' helmet is way too big

The front of his helmet, that big white space, it's way too big. Don't you think? It should at least have some writing on it, right?

Aesthetics are subjective.

The Cowboys are in absolute purgatory with Dak Prescott

What do you do with Jason Garrett and Dak? Because now I feel like the Cowboys are in absolute purgatory because Dak did... just enough to make you think that he's the guy, but also missed enough throws and looked just, like, so shitty in the pocket at times to be like, this guy can't do it. He is the perfect test case of how the hell can you give him money?

The Cowboys eventually gave Dak a massive contract. While they remained a regular-season power, playoff success remained elusive, arguably keeping them in a form of 'purgatory' for years.

Cody Parkey on Good Morning America is the end of civilization

Cody Parkey on Good Morning America... fucking ridiculous... This is the end of our civilization, folks. Everything that we stood on for the longest time, America, what it was founded on, not feeling bad for kickers when they fuck up. Guess what? It's over. You got one job to do.

This is a hyperbolic cultural critique of sports media.

To beat Tom Brady, you must have a completely different second-half game plan

The thing with Tom is if he knows what you're in, he's going to the right place. So without disguising coverages and giving him his own coverage, you've got no chance... in the second half, we had a totally different game plan. So you knew that they were going to go into the locker room, get it figured out. So you had to have a second pitch within the game plan.

Mangini is speaking from professional experience as a head coach and coordinator against Brady.

Quarterback is the coolest position in all of sports

Being the quarterback on an NFL team is the coolest thing you can do in sports. Like, it is. It just is. It's always going to be the coolest thing. It's always going to be the top of the mountain in terms of position, sport, you name it, quarterback, NFL, will always trump almost everything else.

Opinion-based ranking of prestige.

Kyler Murray might not be worth first-round money because of his height

Since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, there have been 107 QBs selected in the first round of the draft... [Number of QBs shorter than six feet]: Zero. So what? I just mean that Kyler Murray might not be worth all the money that he thinks he's worth in the NFL... or he's not going to be as good in the NFL as people think he is because he's not that tall.

Kyler Murray was drafted 1st overall in 2019 and became a Pro Bowler, making him very much 'worth it' as a first-round selection.

The college basketball arm hook rule will cause an apocalypse in the tournament

This is going to cause absolute hell during the NCAA tournament. You're going to have stars foul out because of this weird flagrant foul thing. It's going to swing games, too. It's going to be awful. Once people realize how bad this rule is, the NCAA is going to be an apocalypse.

While the rule remained controversial, it didn't lead to a total 'apocalypse' or single-handedly ruin the 2019 tournament.

NyQuil Listerine is a million-dollar product idea

NyQuil Listerine. Both of these things, they look the same. Basically the same packaging. Combine them into one... You have your Dayquil Listerine for the morning and the Nightquil Listerine for night.

This product would almost certainly be illegal and medically dangerous.
