The Chiefs don't get enough credit for being hilariously bad in the playoffs

The Chiefs don't get enough credit for being hilariously bad in the playoffs... 1-11 in their last 12 playoff games. That is so, so bad. And I actually feel bad for Kansas City fans because it's one of those stats that I didn't even believe when I saw.

The Chiefs had a notorious playoff losing streak prior to Patrick Mahomes' era; however, they won this specific game against the Colts to break the streak.

This is Philip Rivers' last best chance for a Super Bowl

This one [Chargers-Patriots] means a lot because we not only have Phil Rivers, probably his... I'm not going to say his last best chance for a Super Bowl, but this seems like his last best chance for a Super Bowl.

Rivers never made it back to a Divisional Round as a starter after this loss to the Patriots, eventually retiring after a 2020 Wild Card loss with the Colts.

Kyler Murray is making the right choice by choosing the NFL over MLB

Kyler Murray making the right choice, playing a real man's sport... This is the right choice, wouldn't you say?... even 32, Lamar Jackson got $7 million guaranteed last year... Kyler Murray, if he goes to Major League Baseball, he's already behind the clock... basically betting, like, the money would be better right now for the NFL. It's guaranteed in the first round.

Murray chose the NFL, was drafted #1 overall, and signed a $35M guaranteed contract, far exceeding his A's signing bonus. He has since signed a much larger second contract.

Cliff Kingsbury is overrated in terms of attractiveness

I don't think Cliff Kingsbury is as hot as people are saying he is... wearing sunglasses all the time in pictures is the easiest way to make people think you're more attractive than you really are... I really do think he's got a weird mouth. A little sideways.

Attractiveness is subjective.

I'm taking the Colts +5 and the Over against the Chiefs

I would take the Colts plus five, and I would take the over. The Colts are 1-0, by the way... the over in this game, I love the over in this game because I don't - the Chiefs defense is so bad.

The Chiefs won 31-13. The Colts did not cover +5 and the total (44) went way under the 54.5-56.5 point line.

I'm taking the Cowboys to win or cover against the Rams

Cowboys at Rams. Rams are minus seven... I'm taking the Cowboys. And I'm just saying it out loud. I do this every single divisional round. I always overstate what I've seen from wildcard rounds. So in my mind, I always go to divisional round and say, well, the Cowboys are 1-0 in their last one, and the Rams haven't played in a week... So the Cowboys are hot.

The Rams won 30-22, covering the 7-point spread and ending the Cowboys' season.

I'm taking the Chargers to beat the Patriots

I love Phil Rivers in this game. I like their running game. I like their defense... I'm taking the Chargers, baby.

The Patriots crushed the Chargers 41-28.

The Eagles will cover +8 and win against the Saints because of Nick Foles

I'm taking the Eagles. I'm taking all the underdogs this week... I feel like eight is too much. And Nick Foles, whatever's going on, I don't know... I just don't know how you can go against whatever the hell is going on with Nick Foles.

The Saints won 20-14. Big Cat won the spread bet (Eagles +8) but was wrong about the outright win.

Will Ferrell is the funniest person I've ever worked with

Will Ferrell is up there. Will Ferrell is by far the funniest person I've ever worked with. I would definitely say that... Will Ferrell's level of funny on and off the camera is extremely high. It's effortless.

Eddie Murphy is the funniest person of all time to hang out with

Well, you know, I work with this person, too, and he's the GOAT. But now, hanging out, nobody's funnier than Eddie Murphy... He's that good.

The Eagles have a real legitimate shot at beating the Saints because of Nick Foles

Philadelphia all day. That's as a fan... As a real sports guy, we have a real legitimate shot at beating the Saints... And I say that because of Foles. Foles, regardless of the numbers, acts as a heart to that system when they feel like they're the underdogs... if we get past this game, we should be in the Super Bowl.

The Eagles lost to the Saints 20-14, ending Foles' run with the Eagles.

Tim Tebow will be called up to the Major Leagues this year

Tim Tebow is going to get called up to the Mets this year... You'd have to be a major league idiot to not call Tim Tebow up.

Tebow never reached the Major Leagues, retiring from baseball in early 2021 after hitting .163 in Triple-A in 2019.
