Jonathan Taylor will eventually play for the Colts this season

Taylor demanded a trade afterwards and then the Colts now have him on a technicality basically saying, you better actually play for us. We're not gonna trade you ball's in your court right now. He will [Big Cat: play] Yes. I think he will come and play.

Taylor eventually returned to the team, signed a three-year extension in October 2023, and played 10 games.

The NFL's throwback jerseys (Oilers, Eagles Kelly Green, Seahawks) should be their permanent uniforms

The Oilers, they couldn't even announce them, right? ... They were coming back. The Oilers and the Kelly Green Eagles jerseys. Fuck throwbacks. Those should be the jerseys. ... And even the Seahawks, the Seahawks throwbacks should just be their jerseys.

This is a subjective aesthetic preference, though widely shared by fans.

I don't want to start a family because aliens will likely kill us all within five years

I like thinking that aliens are real because then it really is like there's no reason to do anything. 'cause like within five years, like the aliens are gonna just come up and fuck us off. ... Like starting a family. It's like, I don't wanna, I don't wanna have kids like aliens are gonna come and kill 'em all. Yeah. Like, I don't, like I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna keep doing my thing.

The five-year timeline is pending, though highly unlikely.

The Texans offense will be much better than people think this year

He's [John Metchie] back in training camp. He looks awesome. ... I'm just saying, I think, I think the Texans on offense this year are gonna be way better than we think. I like Stroud. How do you do that? I'm a Stroud boy.

This was a massive hit. The Texans went from 3-13-1 to winning the AFC South, and CJ Stroud won Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Travis Kelce is a pussy for fighting Jack Cochrane in training camp

Jack Cochrane's the dude who pissed off Travis Kelce. So shout out that guy for exposing Travis Kelce for being a pussy. ... That was getting into it. 'cause he got hit once just like a little bit after the play and he got pissed off.

Subjective trash talk about a player's toughness.

The Ravens will win the Super Bowl

I see a play like that. I'm like, Raven Super Bowl. Yes I have. I have the Ravens for the Super Bowl. I've bought into the hype. It won't burn me at all.

The Ravens had an incredible season but lost to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, falling short of the Super Bowl.

Success early in the NFL season depends on making the fewest mistakes, not the most plays

I always believe early in the season, it's not the teams that make the most plays. It's the one that make the least amount of mistakes early in the year. And as you go, then it becomes the teams that make more plays.

General football philosophy regarding early season slop and 'preventable' losses.

55 degrees is the ideal sleeping temperature

On the road. If, if I can get it. I mean, normally the lowest you can get is 55. Right. In a hotel. Right. But I got it at 55. ... man, if I could, I would [go into the forties].

Personal preference, though medically 55 is significantly lower than the generally recommended 65-68 degrees.

Polar bears are 'huge pussies' compared to grizzly bears

Polar bears are huge pussies. They actually, every time they meet grizzly bears in the wild, they like run away. 'cause grizzly bears are about that action. They scrap harder than polar bears. It's because their population densities are higher. So they see other grizzly bears and fight them more.

While polar bears are larger, observations in areas where they overlap (like Kaktovik, Alaska) have shown that grizzly bears often dominate polar bears at carcasses despite the size disadvantage, possibly due to higher aggression levels.
