We called LeBron James signing with the Lakers before it happened

There is a 0% chance I will ever return to the NFL

I'd say if it was from zero to 100, 100 being yes, I thought about it, zero being I didn't think about it, I'd say anywhere into the negative 100,000.

Danny Woodhead never returned to the NFL after retiring in early 2018.

I will win a National Championship for the state of Louisiana

I want a national championship for the state of Louisiana, for these players. They yearn for it. They work for it. And I want to win a national championship there.

LSU won the National Championship in the 2019 season under Coach Orgeron with a historic 15-0 record.

Kirk Cousins is the Rihanna of NFL quarterbacks

I'm just the biggest Kirk Cousins fan in the world... It's like, if you're in a relationship, you know, your girlfriend would understand, okay. You got a wandering eye... If that's Rihanna, or, like. Wow, Kirk Cousins is Rihanna.

This is a subjective comparison and expression of fandom.

I have about 10 years of football left in me

I probably got, like, 10 more [years]... I probably got, like, six or, like, seven, like, real years in me. Then the last three, I just steal... Dwight Freeney style. Just, like, be a mercenary in the middle of the year.

Six years after the take, Von Miller is still playing in the NFL, which aligns with his 'real years' prediction and puts him on track for his 'stealing' years.

I will announce my NFL retirement on Pardon My Take

Lane Johnson will announce his retirement at some point on Pardon My Take. Okay. We want to shake hands on this? Yeah. Okay, let's shake hands. We will do this.

Lane Johnson is still playing as of the 2024 season, so the retirement announcement hasn't happened yet.

Blogging is just as hard of a sport as playing in the NFL

I think blogging is just as hard of a sport as football. My brain is mush. I will actually give you that. You guys are in your working stage... We're business people.

This is a subjective and satirical comparison meant for comedic effect.

The drop I had in the Super Bowl haunts me more than the catch that everyone talks about

I don't think about that catch when I think about [Super Bowl 51]. I think about right after halftime... I drop that ball and I was the guy over here, you know the rah-rah guy... I think about that third down how much harder it made it for us to go because we had a little momentum there. So, like, that's what I think about, bro. I don't even think about that catch. I think about that drop.

This is a subjective personal reflection on his career.

Jesus is the greatest comeback in history

My first one is going to be Jesus... Jesus got crossed up, came back three days later. Pretty impressive. Saved all of humanity. So a little disrespectful on your guys' account, not picking Jesus, number one.

This is a subjective debate entry for a comedy segment.

Barry Sanders is still capable of an NFL comeback

My last one is more of a hypothetical comeback because it hasn't happened yet... Barry Sanders, always going to come back. A lot of rumors ever since he retired. I still think he could go out there and do it. I think he could.

Barry Sanders never returned to the NFL and is now well beyond playing age.
