You have to compare Joe Judge immediately to John Harbaugh

You have to compare [Joe Judge] immediately to John Harbaugh. Of course. And say, okay, this guy could work. Because not enough special team guys get opportunities.

The comparison was common at the time, but Joe Judge was ultimately fired after two seasons, unlike Harbaugh's sustained success.

I would rather hire Matt Rhule than Nick Saban or Urban Meyer

I actually would feel more comfortable getting a Matt Rhule type than like an Urban Meyer or even a Nick Saban... Matt Rule did more with less. Temple is not really a football powerhouse. Baylor was obviously in kind of a disaster zone. So he wasn't beating guys with just going out and getting all the recruits... He was beating them, I would assume, with at least some X's and O's.

While Rhule was a turnaround artist in college, his NFL tenure with the Panthers was widely considered a failure (11-27).

Mike McCarthy is just a fatter version of Jason Garrett

It's a great hire for Jerry Jones because he basically just hired a fatter Jason Garrett. Do you think Mike McCarthy's going to steal the show in Dallas? Do you think he's going to make the headlines?

McCarthy has had a higher winning percentage in the regular season than late-era Garrett, but has similarly struggled with playoff breakthroughs in Dallas.

Mike McCarthy only winning one Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers makes him just an okay coach

If you asked any Packer fan, though, and let's just say that Aaron Rodgers is not going to win another Super Bowl, the fact that Mike McCarthy had Aaron Rodgers that type of talent and they only won one is an okay coach.

This remains a subjective debate in NFL media regarding McCarthy's legacy.

There is a Blake of the Year curse

So it's time to ask, is there a Blake of the Year curse? You've got Griffin [surgery]. Bortles got traded. He moved teams... and went bald.

The bad luck continued for various Blakes, though 'curses' are inherently superstitious.

Stephen A. Smith will be extra spicy because of his apple cider vinegar cleanse

Stephen A. Smith just announced that he's going on a seven-day apple cider vinegar cleanse... He's going to be on a First Take just with a mouth tasting like all kinds of soy sauce... and he's going to have an empty belly. He's going to be sweating... a hungry dog runs faster.

Stephen A. Smith is perpetually 'spicy', making this hard to isolate, but a fun prediction.

College bowl games are boring and pointless

Good riddance. Bowls are boring. What's the point?

Subjective opinion on the entertainment value of bowl games.

I think Tom Brady is going to sign with the Tennessee Titans

I think he's going to the Titans. Because of Vrabel. They've got a running back. They've got a good team. They've got salary cap.

Tom Brady eventually signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March 2020.

Men turn uglier and uglier as they get older

As you get older, men turn uglier and uglier... George Clooney and Brad Pitt, those guys are flukes. That was like a mistake. I would say that most guys are disgusting, right? It's just a known fact.

Purely subjective comedic observation.

Madison Prewett will win The Bachelor because her dad is the Auburn coach

My prediction is there is a girl who is a four-time state championship basketball player, and she goes to Auburn, and her dad is the coach of Auburn... My money's on her. Clearly, she knows the long haul, the grind.

Madison Prewett was the runner-up and briefly dated Peter Weber after the show, but Hannah Ann Sluss was the final choice/winner of the season.

The murderer in Don't F*ck With Cats was not a genius mastermind

This guy is not as smart as everyone's making him out to be. He is not some mastermind. He's a fucked up piece of shit... he's narcissistic and he got caught in like three days.

Magnotta was indeed caught shortly after fleeing and left his own name/address in the trash, supporting the 'not a genius' claim.
