The Eagles have a better chance of beating the Chiefs than the Commanders do

The Eagles have a much better chance to beat the Chiefs. That's true. And so I don't, I don't, I don't wanna root for the Commanders, have them win and then just get smoked by the Chiefs and then Threepeat.

The Eagles were favored over the Commanders in the NFC title game, supporting the idea they are viewed as 'better'.

Ohio State is the better team and will beat Notre Dame in the National Championship

I mean, Ohio State's the better team. I feel like it's one of those things where like Notre Dame two outta 10 times maybe could win this game... It's probably Ohio State.

The National Championship between Ohio State and Notre Dame results would be known after the air date.

The Texans got absolutely screwed by penalties against the Chiefs

The first thing can be that the Texans got absolutely screwed by penalties. And the second thing that can also be true is the Chiefs deserve to win this game because they outplayed him... But if you're a Texans fan, you have every right to bitch about that for the next week straight.

Officiating in Chiefs games is a constant point of debate, particularly the unnecessary roughness call on Mahomes which was widely criticized.

Dan Campbell is not a 'winner' until he wins a Super Bowl

I'm just not giving him the label of Dan Campbell winner... He's a good coach, but not a winner. [He needs to win a] Super Bowl. That's what I said the first time.

The definition of 'winner' in sports is subjective, though most would call a coach with 15 wins and a 1-seed a winner.

Patrick Mahomes purposely baits defenders into illegal hits for flags

[Mahomes'] thing where he lets up on purpose to try to get goat players into hitting him is bullshit. It's bullshit. Like you can't, it's so hard for defenders to hit a quarterback in today's NFL... he was scrambling and like almost stood still waiting for a guy to hit him illegally or hit him out of bounds.

This is a subjective observation of Mahomes' playing style and how it interacts with NFL officiating.

Nick Sirianni is a winner because he's 8-0 against the NFC's top 'young' coaches

Nick Sirianni is now three and oh versus Sean McVay. Nick Sirianni is eight and oh versus Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur and Dan Campbell. That's pretty good. It's a winner. Those are three coaches that everyone's, you know, like, hey coach of the years... That's a winner.

The head-to-head record is correct as of the episode date.

Jalen Hurts will only be 60-70% healthy for the NFC Championship game

Jalen Hurts, if I had to, if I had to make a guess and I'm pretty confident in this guess, I think he will be playing at probably around 60 to 70%.

Depends on the eye test during the championship game, making it hard to verify a specific percentage.

Jaden Daniels is the best quarterback in the NFC

I think Jayden is, God. Jayden is, he's the best. I think he's the best quarterback in the NFC. I think he's probably top five in the NFL.

Daniels has had a historic rookie season, but claiming he's better than vets like Hurts or Goff in his first year is subjective.

Jaden Daniels would have failed if the Bears had drafted him

I also think that if Jaden Daniels was drafted by the Bears, he wouldn't have been good. That's neither here nor there. This is more about Jaden Daniels... circumstance and everything around it matters.

This is a counter-factual that can never be proven, but reflects a common view on 'organizational fit' for QBs.

The hierarchy of AFC QBs is Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, then Burrow

I like that we've got a nice clean hierarchy for now though of AFC quarterbacks. Goes Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and then Joe Burrow. If he was in the playoffs, he'd just probably be beating everybody.

Ranking players is inherently subjective.

TikTok will never actually get banned

I think they said they're, they're doing like a 90 day extension and then it might be banned again, but there's just no way that it ever gets banned.

As of the current date, TikTok has faced multiple ban threats that have been delayed or mitigated.

Wooly Mammoths will be cloned and brought back from extinction

My who's back of the week is Wooly Mammoths... There's a company called Colossal Biosciences and they just raised $200 million... to bring back and clone wooly mammoths... Willie Mammoths might be back soon.

Colossal Biosciences is a real company with this stated goal, but the timeline for a 'mammoth' is still years away.
