Sam Darnold might have a good year with the Vikings

Am I crazy for thinking Sam Darnold might have a good year? My whole thinking was he's gonna have the best receivers he is ever had. Seventh year bump. No mono. Kevin O'Connell. Good coach. Played quarterback... I kind of feel like Sam Darnold might surprise some people this year.

Sam Darnold had a career-best season in 2024, leading the Vikings to the playoffs and throwing a career-high in touchdowns.

The Vikings are making the right call to give JJ McCarthy long-term meniscus surgery

I think they're doing the right thing... I think he's probably over Josh Dobbs. It's the right call I think to do the long-term meniscus surgery. A rookie quarterback, you don't wanna rush him back from this at all.

Standard medical and team consensus aligns with this; rushing a rookie back from a full meniscus repair is widely considered poor management.

The NFC South will be full of 9-8 and 10-7 teams

I think it's just gonna be a lot of teams in the NFC South that are gonna be nine and eight, 10 and seven and then the Panthers. And it's gonna go exactly like last year where it's gonna be the three way between the Falcons, the Saints, and the Bucks.

The Falcons finished 10-7, the Bucs 9-8, and the Saints 9-8. This prediction was incredibly accurate regarding the parity and exact win counts.

The Mauricio Pochettino hire is a grand slam for US Soccer

In soccer terms, it's a grand slam... It's a grand slam touchdown of a hire. I think it's safe to say that this will be a big disappointment if we don't get to the quarterfinals [of the World Cup].

Pochettino is objectively one of the highest-profile managers the USMNT has ever hired. The 'disappointment' aspect is pending the 2026 World Cup.

Breece Hall will lead the NFL in rushing touchdowns

I'm going to go with rushing touchdown leader Breece Hall. Plus 1800, plus 1900... Aaron Rogers should play more than five snaps this year... I feel like Nathaniel Hackett's gonna get him the ball inside the five.

Breece Hall finished with 5 rushing touchdowns. Derrick Henry led the league with 15.

Garrett Wilson will lead the NFL in receiving yards

I'm going Garrett Wilson. Oh, at 14 to one. Garrett Wilson has had a really good, he hasn't been a big touchdown guy, but he is never really had a big a quarterback like Aaron Rogers. I think that that's good value.

Garrett Wilson finished with 1,284 yards, well behind the leader Justin Jefferson who had 1,600+.

Aaron Rodgers will lead the NFL in passing touchdowns

I'll change mine to Aaron Rogers. 16 to one... He's gonna feast against the Patriots. And he's, they're gonna do the perfect amount of handing the ball off in the goal line. Jets might score a billion touchdowns.

Aaron Rodgers threw 26 touchdowns, finishing behind league leaders who had 32.

Grit is the ability and willingness to do anything regardless of the circumstance

Your ability and willingness to do any and all things regardless of circumstance... It's a incredible honor for coach [Harbaugh] to view me the way that he does. But what I do know and what I've learned over time is, you know what I do like this moment. I'm right here, right now.

This is a subjective personal and professional philosophy.
