Patrick Mahomes would have been a bust if he were drafted by the Chicago Bears

This is why I've always said when everyone's like well, we could have Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes would have got hit by a bus if he had been a Chicago Bear. There is just it's never going to be in the cards for the Bears to be able to move the football.

While hypothetical, Mahomes' elite talent suggests he would have likely succeeded regardless, though the Bears' history of QB development supports Big Cat's point.

The Bears might get lucky and beat the Saints on Sunday

I'm still not gonna apologize for five and two... I'm running the luck train. The Bears are they have one very lucky games this year. They're not a very good team. But sometimes the NFL you'll just get the lucky bounce and just ride it. So I'm not going to apologize for five and two and I think they might even beat the Saints on Sunday.

The Saints beat the Bears 26-23 in overtime on November 1, 2020.

The Rams play 'Mickey Mouse' football with their excessive pre-snap motion

I agree with with your take that they're playing too fast. That's gonna be Mouse football when man on Sean McVeigh gets in his Huddle's and then he has his players like shift around like it's a game of three-card Monte at a carnival just to confuse defense... not some rinky-dink Mickey Mouse Disneyland offense where you try to score more points than the other team like a fucking coward.

OpinionFootballHotSarcastic
The Rams' motion-heavy offense led by Sean McVay has been statistically one of the most effective and copied schemes in the NFL.

Jerry Jones should treat Mike Nolan like he's in prison until the Cowboys' defense improves

If you're a good owner and you've got someone as shitty as Mike Nolan that's still employed, he shouldn't be allowed to season his food or have any flavor. You need to treat him like he's in prison... until he either quits on his own or decides that he's going to get better and be accountable and start to make improvements. You take away all salt, pepper. He should not be eating hot food or spicy food at all.

The Cowboys defense remained historically bad in 2020, and Mike Nolan was fired at the end of the season.

Kevin Cash let his computer ruin the World Series by pulling Blake Snell in Game 6

The game was a Kevin Cash versus computer and he let his computer fuck him in the face and the Rays died by sabermetrics and congrats to the Dodgers... Blake Snell was 73 pitches, zero runs into the game and he pulled him after a single... The computer says we've got to go to the bullpen. I'm gonna freak out I'm a nerd I've never realized that the game is played with emotion and humans and not on a spreadsheet.

Pulling Snell is widely considered one of the worst managerial decisions in World Series history as the bullpen immediately blew the lead and the Rays lost.

The Washington Nationals are still the current regular full-season World Series champions

I'd also like to say that the Washington Nationals are still current regular full season World Series champions that is for the record that I've gone to game seven. What the fuck? What happened?

Factually correct in terms of 162-game seasons; the Nationals won in 2019 and 2020 was a 60-game season.

It is incorrect to claim that shaming the Cowboys for not defending Andy Dalton is 'toxic masculinity'

There was a guy from Pro Football Focus who said that in my humble opinion attacking the Cowboys for not going after [Jon] Bostic who by any means wasn't a threat to Dalton anymore is toxic masculinity at its peak... meanwhile every person that's ever played football has responded and been like this is this is incorrect.

This is a subjective cultural debate within sports, but PFT is correctly reflecting the consensus of former players and coaches on the matter.

Dak Prescott's leverage increases every time the Cowboys lose a game without him

Jerry every time you try somebody else out there, he's making me money. This is Dak sitting back at the table like let my leg get healed up, you give me my money... Watching the team go without him, his head has calmed down. He's saying right now, 'Yeah, my money. I'll be there.'

Dak Prescott eventually signed a massive 4-year, $160 million contract in March 2021, proving he had immense leverage.

Being an NFL media personality is more mentally exhausting than actually playing in the NFL

I get more tired at this than I did at playing... when the bodies are exhausted, the mind is still racing... But in this [media], when you're exhausted, you're exhausted here in the mind... the mind is shut down. I never was going to shut down after a long game on Sunday.

This is entirely subjective to Irvin's personal experience.
