I want to see Mac Jones face some adversity to see if he is truly the guy

I want to see him [Mac Jones] face some adversity, see how he does with that... I want to see something go wrong. And I want to see the man he is in an adverse situation. Like that's when you see your best leaders, that's when you know the Tom Bradys. Everything looks great right now. He's looking like a really good quarterback. He's taking in the offense. He plays on time.

The Patriots went on to lose their final three games of the regular season and their playoff game; Mac Jones struggled significantly during this period, providing the adversity Edelman sought, though opinions on whether he was 'the guy' soured later.

A truly tough football team can run the ball, stop the run, and cover kicks

This is what defines a tough football team. A physically tough football team, from what I was taught from some guy named Bill [Belichick], a tough football team can run the ball, can stop the run and can cover kicks. What teams do that the best? Baltimore, Patriots, Tennessee.

This is a coaching philosophy/definition of terms. While subjective in application, the claim that these are the three pillars of toughness is a verifiable statement of Belichick's philosophy as reported by Edelman.

The Rams are a soft football team

My other side of the coin, I will make you say it, but I'll say it, the Rams are soft. The Rams are soft football team right now. And part of it, I think has to do with bringing a bunch of guys in. That's always gotta be hard, right? When you add guys mid season.

The Rams eventually won the Super Bowl this season, proving they were resilient and not 'soft' in the most critical moments.

I am riding with the Bills to beat the Packers in the Super Bowl

I'm going to ride with the bills. I mean, I got seen some things I got to start to see the offense needs to start getting it going... [Super Bowl prediction] I said, Bills and Green Bay.

The Super Bowl was Rams vs. Bengals. Neither the Bills nor the Packers made the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks will win this week because you don't lose an 'end of an era' game

The big thing with this game is it feels like everyone is writing off, not just the Seahawks but an era. So when you have an era ending, the Pete Carroll, the Russell Wilson era, I feels like you got to take the Seahawks because you don't lose end of an era games.

The Seahawks lost to the Cardinals 23-13 that Sunday.

I'm betting on Lamar Jackson because he plays better with diarrhea

Another important thing to note is that Lamar Jackson has been out two days this week with diarrhea. Again, he's the most diarrhea quarterback in the NFL and he always plays great. He plays lighter when he's at diarrhea. So this is a big time intestinal bug issue for the Ravens and for Lamar Jackson. So I'm going to bet on Lamar Jackson.

Lamar Jackson ended up being inactive for the game due to his illness. The Ravens won with Tyler Huntley, but PFT's specific bet on 'diarrhea Lamar' playing didn't happen.

The name change from Staples Center to Crypto.com Arena is disgusting

My system is the Los Angeles Lakers. Oh, they've destroyed their brand by changing their iconic name, the staple center to the crypto center. It's just a terrible idea. And I just think that staple center was such a great and original name. And the fact that they changed it to a corporation is disgusting.

This is a subjective aesthetic and branding opinion.

Sleeping is the most dangerous thing you can do once you hit your mid-30s

I actually think that sleeping is the most dangerous thing that we do once we hit our mid thirties. [In response to dislocating shoulder in sleep] I woke up and my shoulder was literally out of its socket and I had to pull it back into its socket.

Subjective claim about the dangers of aging.

The new Pardon My Take NFTs are unstealable and cannot be copied

But you yourself can own one of these NFTs, the auction starting soon and they can't be copied. These ones can not be copied. I went, it's going to take a little longer stress testing. These ones are going to be rock solid NFTs. These are unstealable. Don't even try it. Folks cannot steal the high security.

The fundamental nature of digital images used in NFTs means they can always be 'copied' (saved) even if ownership on the blockchain remains fixed. Billy's claim of them being 'unstealable' is a common crypto-optimist exaggeration.
