I was wrong about Dak Prescott; he was sensational against the Buccaneers

I would like to formally apologize to one Dakota Prescott, because I was wrong. He was sensational on Monday night... He was absolutely shut the haters up. I include myself in that camp. I was very wrong.

Dak Prescott threw for 305 yards and 5 touchdowns in the wild card round against the Buccaneers, a career-best playoff performance.

Tom Brady is done with the Buccaneers

I do think that he's probably not retired. The comments that he was making after the game felt like I'm done with The Buccaneers.

Tom Brady announced his retirement 'for good' on February 1, 2023, never playing another game for the Buccaneers.

Tom Brady is now gun-shy in the pocket and bails on throws early

[Tom Brady's] legs and his and his his want to, to stand in the pocket have completely eroded. I think that's part of his bra. I guess it's his spine. Yeah. His spine's not okay, because he's been hit so much this year that he is gun shy and it's gotten to the point where you feel bad for him in the pocket when he sees somebody coming.

The Cowboys are winning the Super Bowl

The Cowboys are gonna win the Super Bowl... I think they're gonna win the Super Bowl. It was not personal. Between me and Tom.

The Cowboys lost in the divisional round to the San Francisco 49ers (19-12).

Brock Purdy will get exposed against the Cowboys

Brock Purdy's gonna go get exposed. I'm not a ball knower. I'll probably get more into the, the x's and nos on Thursday. But just make, make him throw deep... Brock Purdy's gonna get exposed this weekend. Throw five picks.

Purdy did not throw five picks; he went 19/29 for 214 yards, 0 TDs, and 0 INTs, and the 49ers won the game.

I would rather have Tom Brady than Aaron Rodgers next year

I would rather take Tom Brady because Aaron Rodgers in the off season, he likes to do his ayahuasca shaman trips... if you're an NFL football player, especially an older one, you don't want perspective. Right. You want Tom Brady's complete and utter lack of any sort of perspective whatsoever... He walked away from his entire family to come back and lose in a wildcard game. He has no perspective. That's the guy that I want.

Rodgers joined the Jets and tore his Achilles in game 1; Brady retired. It's a subjective preference of psychological profiles.

The NFL should use the chip in the football to definitively judge goal line plays

The fact that there was just casually mentioned there's a chip in the football and they can actually see if it goes over the goal line... According to the chip in the football, the closest the ball got to the end zone was 0.6 yards from the goal line. What the fuck are we doing? We've been asking for the chip forever.

This is a persistent debate in sports media; while the chip exists, the NFL still relies on visual confirmation for official scoring.

The Memphis Grizzlies are the hottest team in the NBA right now

I probably like Memphis even more than Denver... Memphis just has, has some shit to it where I'm like, man, I like these guys... Memphis is the hottest right now.

At the time of recording (Jan 18), the Grizzlies were in the middle of an 11-game winning streak.

The Pelicans are the deepest team in basketball

New Orleans has the deepest team in basketball and if Zion's there and ready to go in the playoffs, he's still that hard of a matchup.

The Pelicans' depth was notable, but injuries to Zion and Ingram eventually derailed their season, leading to a play-in exit.

The Boston Celtics are the best 'health bet' to win the NBA title

I think Boston's so much. Cause I feel like they're the best health bet. You feel like all of their guys are going to play. And the one person that's the biggest question mark is, is Rob Williams who, you know, they can still probably be really good without him.

The Celtics' core remained largely healthy throughout the postseason, losing in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

LeBron James has never understood how to be a true partner with an organization

I love LeBron as a player... However, he has had it in his head that like he can't be a partner with a team. It's very weird... The way it was explained to me was that LeBron always wants ownership to know that there is pressure that they can never take a day off... it's not necessarily like having a great partner.

Victor Wembanyama is the best draft prospect I've ever seen, but he's not a better prospect than LeBron was

When people say [Victor Wembanyama] is the best prospect they've ever seen, it's not bullshit, it's not hyperbole, but if somebody says he's a better prospect coming into LeBron, it's they're, they're full of shit, right? Because LeBron had the perfect body type immediately.

The NBA Finals will be Boston over Memphis

Boston over Memphis. There it is. Okay. That'd be a fun series.

Incorrect. Neither the Celtics (lost ECF) nor the Grizzlies (lost 1st round) reached the finals.
