JJ Watt will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on thank-you ads for Houston

I think that there's probably at least like $300,000 or $400,000 that [JJ Watt] has earmarked right now to take out full-page thank you ads to the entire city of Houston. He's probably going to be buying billboards all over Texas, thanking them for his time there.

JJ Watt did buy multiple full-page ads in the Houston Chronicle to thank fans after his release.

JJ Watt has more ties to potential teams than any free agent in NFL history

I would contend that JJ Watt being a free agent, he has the most ties to the most teams, strong ties to the most teams that a free agent has ever had.

While subjective, the ties were numerous: Wisconsin (Packers), Chicago (wife), Steelers (brothers), plus ring-chasing teams like the Bucs.

Ryan Pace and the Bears will offer JJ Watt the most money on the market

Ryan Pace is going to offer him somewhere between $150 and $200 million... [Watt's] never going to be that JJ Watt anymore. So that's the perfect time for Ryan Pace to be like, yo, I'm going to give you $50 million just so I can tell people that we have Khalil Mack and JJ Watt on the same line.

The Bears did not sign JJ Watt; the Cardinals signed him for 2 years, $31M.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the most likely destination for JJ Watt

The list for me starts and ends with the Pittsburgh Steelers just because I know JJ Watt, and he's going to want to go play with his brothers and have them rub that in our faces... That is the quintessential JJ Watt destination.

JJ Watt signed with the Arizona Cardinals in March 2021.

If Urban Meyer doesn't draft Trevor Lawrence at #1, someone will trade to #2 and take him immediately

If Urban Meyer does not draft Trevor Lawrence, then someone's going to trade up to number two, and then they'll take him there.

Lawrence was drafted #1 by the Jaguars as expected.

Trevor Lawrence gives off Paxton Lynch vibes and could be a bust

Trevor Lawrence kind of gives me Paxton Lynch vibes... Your best case scenario with Trevor Lawrence is Tom Brady. Your worst case scenario is Paxton Lynch... His throwing motion reminds me a lot of Paxton Lynch's... they kind of like are built the same.

Trevor Lawrence has established himself as a franchise quarterback in the NFL, far exceeding Paxton Lynch's career.

Trevor Lawrence will not bring 'electricity' to an NFL offense by himself

I don't see him just like bringing electricity to an offense. like making plays with his feet, like even when he has no blocking, you know, I just, I'm a little skeptical... the thing is he needs a supporting cast to be good.

Lawrence has shown significant playmaking ability and mobile skills (e.g., 2022 playoff comeback) even with varying levels of supporting talent.

Trevor Lawrence's long hair is a 'look at me' move

I do also think that the long hair makes you look a little bit shorter... The long hair is also like a look at me move. And I don't get – Big time. It's a big look at me move.

Purely a subjective opinion on style.

The Water Dogs MUST draft Chris Hogan in the Premier Lacrosse League

[Chris Hogan] has declared for the Premier League lacrosse draft... We have equity in the Water Dogs. Whatever we have to do to get Chris Hogan on our team, we have to do it.

The Water Dogs did not select Chris Hogan in the 2021 PLL Entry Draft; he signed with the Cannons.

Jordan Spieth is now a likable underdog because he has been so bad

Everyone likes Jordan Spieth because he's been so bad and such a head case for so long that he gets the pity... now he's an underdog despite the fact that he's won millions and millions of dollars playing golf.

Subjective take on sports fandom trends.

Loyola Chicago is in great shape to make the NCAA tournament

They're in great shape to make the tournament... If they make the tournament, everyone's going to talk about [Sister Jean].

Loyola Chicago did make the 2021 NCAA Tournament as an 8-seed and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen.

I am growing my long hair back

First off, the hair is coming back... But I needed to cut it. It was getting long, and we were kind of in a losing skid, and I felt like changing it up could have helped me. And it did... It'll come back.

Herbert did indeed grow his hair back out in subsequent seasons.

I can bench press and out-squat DK Metcalf

[DK Metcalf] was saying that he could bench press more than you... [Donald:] Yes... He's a wide receiver. I'm a defensive lineman. So we live different... [PFT: Squatting?] We live different.

While there wasn't a public head-to-head, Donald (a 280+ lb DT) is widely considered one of the strongest human beings in NFL history.

James Harden literally ate his way out of Houston

Yeah, that is what happened, James. You got fat. James, you got fat. You ate your way out of Houston, which is very difficult to do.

Subjective but widely observed by media and fans during Harden's final weeks in Houston.

There should be a 'TopGolf' but for football

TopGolf. But for other sports... There should be TopGolf but for football. You're the quarterback... imagine you have a football, and then in front of you is this big field, and there are people that are running routes, and you can hit the receivers with passes... They keep score of every ball that you throw.

This is a business idea and cannot be judged as correct or incorrect.
