Gambling on the NFL is the hardest thing in the entire world

And two, gambling on the NFL is the hardest thing in the entire world, and no one should ever do it because it's god-awful.

NFL betting is widely considered one of the most efficient and difficult markets to beat long-term.

Week 2 in the NFL is a must-win for 0-1 teams

So 95% of playoff teams avoid going 0-2. So if you do the math, that makes week two a must win.

Statistically, very few teams that start 0-2 make the NFL playoffs, though the exact percentage varies by era and season length.

The Seahawks offensive line is still dog shit

The other big takeaway that I had was that the Seahawks offensive line is still dog shit. ... I don't know where he [Tom Cable] finds the offensive lineman that he has, but they all suck. They always will suck.

The Seahawks finished 2017 with one of the lowest-ranked offensive lines in the league (often ranked in the bottom 3 by PFF).

Brian Kelly is an asshole

First of all, Brian Kelly's a shithead. We can all agree on that. ... I think he's an asshole.

This is a subjective character judgment based on postgame audio.

Los Angeles has always been a bad sports town

Bad sports town, you think? It's always been a bad sports town. I don't know what you want to say. It's a bunch of transplants and beautiful people that would rather be outside than watching a shitty Colts versus Rams game.

Subjective, though frequently supported by attendance data and regional interest metrics compared to other markets.

Ben Roethlisberger is now the winningest quarterback in Cleveland Browns Stadium history, which opened in 1999. more wins than any Browns quarterback. So he's got 11, and that officially passes Derek Anderson, who had 10.

Kesha's new album is the greatest album ever created

So I don't know if you guys have listened. Her [Kesha's] album came out last month, but I just caught wind of it. It is probably the greatest album that has ever been created.

The album 'Rainbow' was critically acclaimed but calling it the 'greatest ever' is a subjective hyperbole.

I'm a Kesha guy over Taylor Swift or Katy Perry

And I want to officially go on the record when people say, are you Taylor Swift or Katy Perry guy? I'm a Kesha guy through and through.

This is a personal preference.

To win a championship you need a great QB, great defense, and a reliable kicker

I've always thought this. When it comes to winning a championship, you need a great quarterback, a good defense, and a field goal kicker that can make field goals. Or a good quarterback, a great defense, and a field goal kicker that can make field goals.

This is a standard football philosophy that reflects many championship rosters.
