Lance McCullers Jr. was tipping his pitches against the Phillies

Lance McCullers was tipping all of his pitches tonight. And you saw it from the start. Like Bryce [Harper], when he went yard, he told everybody in the Phillies dugout, he's like, This guy's tipping his pitches. A bunch of stuff went viral online where you could see like the high leg kick. You could see the back leg being straight and the Phillies hit all their home runs off sinkers curves, changeups things like that.

Post-game analysis and various experts confirmed McCullers was likely tipping his pitches based on his delivery mechanics.

Jeff Wilson Jr. is the sneaky best move of the NFL trade deadline

I actually think Jeff Wilson is like the sneaky best move of the day because you have a running back who knows the Shanahan system who can now run Mike McDaniel's system. Like that was, that's one of those ones where it just, it's under the radar because there are bigger names.

Wilson had a productive rest of the season for Miami, including a big role in the offense, validating the 'sneaky' fit.

Justin Fields is officially the guy for the Chicago Bears

The argument that everyone made in the off season that the Bears were ruining Justin Fields by not getting him anyone. You can't then complain that they went and got [Chase Claypool]. I got my guy, I'm feeling confident about having my guy. I have, I have a guy. He is the guy... he's officially the guy. Build around Justin Fields. Everything else doesn't matter.

Fields had a historic rushing season in 2022 but was eventually traded to the Steelers in 2024 after the Bears chose to draft Caleb Williams #1 overall, meaning he was ultimately not 'the guy' long-term for them.

The Brooklyn Nets are not fixable

I don't think you get to worry about the Nets. And I know that what a sucks that Ime's gone because he is a very good coach. But the Nets are not, I actually do not think they're fixable. I really don't.

The Nets eventually traded both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving mid-season, fully blowing up the core and starting a rebuild, confirming they weren't fixable in that iteration.

The 2022 Tennessee Volunteers are identical to 2019 LSU

I think that this Tennessee team is extremely close, if not almost identical to the LSU team in 2019. So far... they're comparing favorably and I think the comparisons are there for Hendon Hooker and Joe Burrow too. Both super old guys that stuck around.

2019 LSU went undefeated and won the National Title. 2022 Tennessee lost to Georgia and South Carolina, failing to make the playoff, making this comparison hyperbolic.

Kirk Cousins and the Vikings will not win the Super Bowl

I'm not going back. I've been on this take. They're not winning the Super Bowl. We will be right. I've been on this take for six years. My take on Kirk Cousins has not wavered and it never will.

The Vikings lost in the Wild Card round to the Giants, proving PFT right about them not winning the Super Bowl.

Anything done during the pandemic should be forgiven (Pandemic Amnesty)

My cool throne is pandemic amnesty. Turns out anything you do during the pandemic, we're all gonna forget about and forgive each other. I think anything should be forgiven. Like anything. No, but whatever it was, forgive me for it.

This is entirely a subjective matter of social opinion.

Tony Pollard is the best running back of the weekend over Derrick Henry

Tony Pollard's number one, because he took 15 rushes to get 131 yards. It's not just the number of yards. It's also how many times did I touch the ball to get it? Derrick Henry, I think had 32 carries for 219 yards... Parlor, we can't run him 30 times. That's not him. But yes, I believe that he's a true playmaker.

Pollard averaged 8.7 YPC while Henry averaged 6.8 YPC that weekend. While Henry's volume was higher, Irvin's point on efficiency is factually supported for that specific window.

Odell Beckham Jr. would love to play for the Dallas Cowboys

I guarantee you I could tell you Odell would love to see Odell on the cowboy. Trust me. Trust me. I know Dale. Odell and I have had conversations about that a long time ago. Odell has to be in a place where the lights are bright. For him to be his best. You can't stick him in Cleveland. Put him in LA, put him in New York. You put him in Dallas where that light is bright.

OBJ flirted heavily with the Cowboys in 2022 but ultimately did not sign that season. He signed with the Ravens in 2023 and the Dolphins in 2024, never actually joining Dallas despite Irvin's 'guarantee'.

The Philadelphia Eagles are headed toward a dynasty

I was the first one to say that Philly is headed towards Dynasty. That's what I said this summer in Philly... if they had the right hand on the stairwell and the right hand on the center, if these hands work out, they can be doing something for quite a while.

The Eagles reached the Super Bowl that season but lost. In 2023, they collapsed late and exited in the Wild Card. No dynasty has materialized yet.

Chase Daniel has the greatest NFL career of all time

Would you argue, and I would make this argument, that you actually have the greatest NFL career of all time with 178 pass completions and 42 million made? ... Tom Brady's made 40,000 per completion. You've made 235,000 per completion.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
The math is roughly correct based on Daniel's career earnings and stats at the time of the episode, supporting the 'greatest career' (from a business/health perspective) take.
