Patrick Mahomes with only one working leg is still a top 15 NFL quarterback

I think [Patrick Mahomes] with a leg, one leg that doesn't work is still a top 15 quarterback in the NFL. Legitimately.

Mahomes won the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl while clearly still recovering from the injury, proving his elite level despite physical limitation.

Patrick Mahomes will play in the AFC Championship but will be physically diminished

I would say [Patrick Mahomes] is gonna play, but he's gonna be diminished. You're not gonna get full Mahomes. It's more just being as mobile as he is behind the line of scrimmage and keeping plays alive.

Mahomes played and won, and while his mobility was visually limited, he still threw for over 300 yards and 2 TDs in the AFC Championship.

The Chiefs must win a second Super Bowl soon to cement a decade of dominance

The Chiefs do have to win their second one soon because you go to five straight AFC championship games... they have to win another one to have this decade stretch. Otherwise it's like, oh, they won one. A lot of guys have won one.

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl weeks later and another the year after, cementing exactly the legacy Big Cat described.

Arrowhead Stadium is the craziest game day environment in the NFL

Arrowhead is the craziest game day environment I've ever been in. Especially the crowd in the stadium. When Patrick Mahomes came back on the field, it was like the second coming of Christ.

This is a subjective personal experience.

Brian Daboll's fourth-quarter punt against the Eagles was one of the saddest of the year

Brian Daboll elected to punt, down 21 points with 13 minutes left... He had one of the saddest punts of the year in the fourth quarter. Is he kind of a coward? What is happening here? Because everything he's done this year has been the right string and then he did that one thing and you're like, whoa, whoa, this is kind of fucked up.

The Surrender Index often tracks these, and punting while down three scores late is analytically poor, though the game was likely already lost.

The Philadelphia Eagles are the Super Bowl favorites

They're good team. Super Bowl favorites. If they don't win the Super Bowl, it's a huge letdown... they're my Super Bowl favorites.

The Eagles reached the Super Bowl but lost to the Chiefs, making them not the ultimate victors.

The Bengals own the Kansas City Chiefs

The Bengals own the Chiefs. Three and oh is ownership. And they gotta be feeling pretty fucking good. It's tough to beat a team four times in a row.

While they were 3-0, the Chiefs won the very next week in the AFC Championship Game, ending the 'ownership.'

It is fair game to criticize Josh Allen after his poor playoff performance

Anyone who wants to shit on [Josh Allen] right now, it's fair game. They were Super Bowl favorites to start the year. They had all the pieces. That was a very pitiful performance by the Bills.

This is an opinion on public perception and sports criticism.

If the Eagles can pressure Brock Purdy, he will throw three interceptions

If the Eagles can put pressure on [Brock Purdy], make him throw, he's throwing three picks. I could feel it.

Purdy tore his UCL on the first drive after taking a hit, so he never had the chance to throw enough passes for this to resolve normally. He threw 0 interceptions.

Mike McCarthy will survive and stay as the Cowboys head coach

My gut tells me that Mike McCarthy actually survives this and he'll stick around. I don't think [Jerry Jones] is going to fire him.

McCarthy remained the head coach of the Cowboys for the 2023 season and into 2024.

Jerry Jones doesn't actually want another Super Bowl because the 'hunt' keeps him alive

I think that Jerry [Jones] doesn't want another Super Bowl because it keeps him alive. The hunt... you gotta have something to live for. If Jerry gets another title, then it's like, well, I'm out.

This is an unfalsifiable psychological take on an owner's motivation.

LeBron James is a hypocrite for supporting Shannon Sharpe's courtside behavior

LeBron has talked about fans getting into it with players and how unacceptable it is... if we're being consistent here, which I think LeBron is nothing but consistent. It should be fine next time a fan says anything, he should be okay with it, right?

This is an analysis of public statements and personal consistency.

The Q-collar technology causes players to make bad on-field decisions

Dalton Schultz today was wearing a... Q-collar. It's supposed to help protect the brain from injury... I have a theory. This technology... it's supposed to constrict certain blood vessels going to your brain... I think these guys are just lightheaded. And it's just, he had a bird brain.

There is no scientific evidence that Q-collars cause cognitive impairment or 'bird brain' in NFL players.
