I am finally willing to admit that weather and wind exist in football

I've learned a lot over the years. You know, I know some things, I don't know. Some other things before yesterday, I was steadfast in my belief that weather doesn't matter. Wind is not a factor unless it's a tornado. And I was proven correct, pretty much up until last night, but Bill Belichick... taught me a lesson and I'm okay with that. I'm willing to admit because of what Bill Belichick showed me, that weather does matter. Okay. Wind can be a factor.

The game conditions objectively proved wind and weather altered NFL outcomes significantly.

If you're going to have bad weather, it's better to have extreme weather than halfway bad weather

If you're going to have bad weather, I think it's better to have really, really bad weather than halfway bad weather. Yeah. It's your you're right? Like the wind, the problem with the wind is the wind got tired out. We needed more wind to keep it crazier.

This is a subjective preference for entertainment value.

Bill Belichick will regret not winning the Patriots-Bills game with zero pass attempts

I actually think that Bill Belichick did not want to attempt a single pass last night. He was forced into it at the end and it would have been amazing. I actually that's, that's a regret that Bill Belichick is going to have. He's not going to have many of them at the end of his career, but he's going to regret not winning this game with zero passes, zero passes.

Purely speculative about Belichick's internal motivations.

The 2021 Buffalo Bills struggle against physical teams and haven't beaten anyone impressive

The bills also in the words of a Paul Finebaum caller 'ain't beat nobody.' They beat the Chiefs, but that's before the Chiefs became the Chiefs... But yeah, the Bills, they, they struggle against good teams. They struggle against more physical teams. And that is embarrassing for defense.

The Bills actually finished strongly, beating the Patriots in the playoffs and losing an all-timer to the Chiefs in the Divisional round, proving they were elite.

NFL games should not be played in domes because weather variables make sports fun

The reason why playing outside and having to deal with the elements in December is fun. Is that you have games like last night... Being like every game should be played in a dome in perfect environment is like making it's arena football. You're making it completely sterile. You're making it all the same... The variables in sports make it fun.

NFTs are becoming more valuable than diamonds

Turns out there's a bunch of new diamonds that are fake, but no one can tell the difference... De Beers is totally panicking because now diamonds have no value. So Hot Seat: Diamond... NFTs are kind of more valuable than diamonds, I think about it.

The NFT market crashed significantly after early 2022, while diamonds maintained value.

NFL games should be played in domes to ensure the best version of teams win championships

I want to see the best version of the Bills against the best version of the Patriots. And I want the best team to win, not the best team in those conditions... I just, I don't want that stuff to dictate who wins these games and who ultimately, you know, creates history and wins championships. I don't want that to be the case... I'd rather play in a dome in every, every game that I play than anywhere else.

Mac Jones is playing mentally as well as anyone in the NFL

I always look at the quarterback position... I look at it mentally and I say, does he know what he's looking at? Does he know how to make different throws? Does he get his eyes in the right place at the right time? And [Mac Jones] is doing that as well as just about anybody in the league.

Mac Jones' performance declined sharply in subsequent seasons, eventually leading to his trade. Warner's praise proved to be based on a temporary peak.

Baker Mayfield and Kirk Cousins have reached their ceilings as 'playoff' guys, not championship guys

Kirk Cousins, another guy you're just like, come on, man. Like at some point we've got to turn this corner... [Baker Mayfield] may not be that guy. I mean, let's be honest, right? How many guys are there that you can build around with their right arm?... Then your next decision is, are we okay with the playoff guy? Are we okay with the guy that's better than what we've had, but we're going to settle for a team that probably won't ever win a championship.

As of late 2024, neither Mayfield nor Cousins has reached a Super Bowl as a starter, supporting Warner's 'playoff guy' tiering.

Super Bowl Prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New England Patriots

Let me go with Tampa Bay in New England. I just think it would be an unbelievable way to finish the season. And Tom got his last year and Bill has his chance with a young quarterback... I think it's possible, you know, and with the way both teams are playing, I think it's definitely possible.

The Super Bowl was Rams vs. Bengals. Neither predicted team made it.

I will knock out Jeff Nadu in the second round with a body shot

Game plan is to come out and put the pressure on right away and back him up and have him on the defense, the whole fight and run around the ring and cut off the corners... and just bodywork. And once he drops those hands, it's lights out... Second round knockout, second round knockout, a body shot.

Jerry won the fight against Jeff Nadu, but it went the distance and was decided by unanimous decision, not a 2nd round body shot KO.

Doing spreadsheets so fast that you sweat counts as blue collar work

I don't care if you're just like a little bit out of shape, you're doing spreadsheets. You're doing them really fast. I agree if you're so fast on the computer that it makes you sweat. That's blue collar for sure. A hundred percent.
