Sean McDermott should not be fired

Sean McDermott still has his job. I don't think he should be fired now. The dust has been settled... He's a very, very good coach. But you have to also look at what he's done in the playoffs and how much those losses just stay with a man.

Sean McDermott was retained for the following season.

Getting your ass kicked in the playoffs is better than losing a close game

I think it captures the moment perfectly. It's... the two guys on the bus meme. One is really pissed off. Doom and gloom. The other guy's super happy. The guy that's pissed off is losing a close game. The guy that's super happy is getting your ass kicked. So getting your ass kicked is better in those situations, I think than being like, oh, you know, we were one play away.

This is an inherently subjective take on fan psychology.

The Chiefs' defense is overrated while their offense is underrated

The Chiefs' defense is a little overrated. I'm gonna say it right now. I'm gonna dig into some numbers for you, but I'm gonna say it... Their rush defense has not been incredible in the back half. Now the problem is for you and the Chiefs is their offense has gotten a lot better. I think their defense is above average. And I think people think that their offense is average. And I think that's also above average.

The Chiefs went on to win the Super Bowl with both units performing well, making this a nuanced take that is hard to definitively prove wrong but was valid context at the time.

No team that wins exactly 15 games in the regular season has won a Super Bowl since 1985

I got a trend. Big Cat, no team that's won exactly 15 games in the regular season has won the Super Bowl since 1985.

The 1985 Bears won 15 games and the Super Bowl. Since then, 15-win teams like the 1998 Vikings, 2004 Steelers, 2011 Packers, and 2015 Panthers all failed to win the title.

NFL film dorks who watch the 'dots' don't actually like football

You can't use the dots... They use the overhead dots and the overhead. I don't know who likes watching the dots. It's all the like, film nerd people. You don't, you don't like football if you like watching the dots. Yeah. Or maybe, maybe you can, but I can't appreciate looking at the dots and understanding how awesome football is. Nobody's hitting each other. There's nothing cool that happens.

Anyone who says they are boycotting the Super Bowl is a liar

I'll say this loud and clear. I'm, I'm always gonna watch the Super Bowl. You, it's the last football game of the year. And anyone who says they're not gonna watch the Super Bowl, you're a fucking liar. That's, you're just a liar. You're gonna watch the Super Bowl. You might not talk about the Super Bowl. You might complain about the Super Bowl. You're gonna fucking sit down on Super Bowl Sunday.

Super Bowl ratings consistently show it is the most-watched event regardless of the matchup or controversy.

Jimmy Butler is an absolute locker room cancer

I mean he's old and he's proven himself time and time again to just be an absolute locker room cancer can't even win.

The Warriors should have just resigned Klay Thompson and stayed old together

I don't even think like, this is why this revisionist history just fucking should have just resigned Klay and just gotten like, you have to pick a lane. Like just maybe just get old together. And just be like, all right. It was fun, but everyone got to stay together... if you know you're not gonna win again, just go nostalgia.

Jalen Milroe's small hands are a major problem for his draft stock

Jalen Milroe has insanely small hands. Eight and three fourth inches. To put it into perspective, it would be the smallest hands of any first round quarterback ever taken. And in 2022, only one starting NFL QB had his hand size under nine inches... and it was Taysom Hill. Not good.

Milroe's hand size was measured at 8 3/4 inches, which is historically very small for a first-round QB. The Taysom Hill comparison is also accurate regarding starting QBs.

Aaron Rodgers has 'druggie eyes' and is the problem with the Jets

I think the problem is Aaron. I think he's the problem... I look them in the eye to look for, to see if they're druggies. And I gotta tell you, Aaron Rodgers has druggie eyes. He looks like a druggie. Aaron Rodgers just has druggie eyes to me.

Getting old is primarily about 'giving less of a fuck'

I think the number one thing is giving less of a fuck. That's the number one thing with age that is so much better. Where it's like, I don't start dressing better, but it's like, I don't care. I got kids. I got a good life. I don't give a fuck.

This is a subjective experience of aging.
