The Jets fleeced the Cowboys in the Quinnen Williams trade

You gotta haul. I would even say memes, I dare say fleeced. I think you fleeced the Cowboys.

The trade value received by the Jets was seen as high for a rebuilding team, while Williams didn't save the Cowboys' season.

Jerry Jones is the biggest loser of the NFL trade deadline

Jerry Jones is the big loser in all of this because he traded for a guy [Quinnen Williams] in on a season that things aren't going well. And then also watched Micah Parsons... it feels like Jerry Jones should have gotten more from Micah Parsons is my big point.

The Cowboys' season ended poorly and trading for Quinnen Williams while losing Parsons didn't prevent a losing record.

Notre Dame should not be ranked ahead of Texas or Oklahoma in the CFP rankings

I do think that the Oklahoma and Notre Dame Texas rankings makes no sense... Notre Dame's best win is against USC and their losses are Texas A&M and Miami... Texas's best win is Oklahoma and Vanderbilt... Oklahoma has also two ranked wins Michigan and Tennessee. Their losses against Ole Miss and Texas... it just doesn't make sense to me why Notre Dame is ahead of those two teams.

This is a subjective evaluation of team resumes at a specific point in time.

Kyler Murray will be a great quarterback on a different team in three years

I think in like three years, Kyler Murray will be a very good quarterback on a different team... picture this Kyler Murray on the Saints.

This prediction relies on Murray being traded and finding success elsewhere within a three-year window.

The Green Bay Packers are a dangerous team because they are 'desperate' off a bad loss

If you're playing the Packers next, you gotta watch out because he's [LaFleur] gonna fix this and they're gonna come out with their hair on fire... You don't want to play the Packers against the Packers off a loss.

The Packers' performance following a loss is statistically variable, but the 'desperation' narrative is a staple of PMT psychology.

The Blue Jays' World Series loss is the worst loss of all time

I think that might be the worst loss of all time for the Blue Jays... the slow burn of the loss where if you're a Falcons fan and you're looking at 28 to three... those happen all in one game. This was 10 days where it just, and you had 3-2 going back home. It's just insane.

The Blue Jays' loss was historically unique and heartbreaking, but 'worst of all time' is inherently a matter of fan perspective.

Ja Morant needs a trade to find his joy for basketball again

My Hot Seat is Ja Morant... he's lost his joy. He's beefing with his coaches... last night he just said he's lost his joy... it feels like he needs a trade very badly. Just get him out of there, get him a new place.

Morant has continued with the Grizzlies; whether he 'found his joy' is subjective, but no trade occurred immediately following this period.

The New Orleans Pelicans are 'soft quitting' the season to relocate

The Pelicans are just like soft quitting and gonna probably be in like relocate... they have no promotional calendar for the season... no bobbleheads... they're just soft quitting the Pelicans.

The Pelicans remain in New Orleans, and marketing lulls can be attributed to poor performance or front-office transition rather than relocation plans.

Dabo Swinney will eventually leave Clemson for a fresh start at another major program

I think that he is John Calipari going to Arkansas waiting to happen... the writing's on the wall, the Browns, they've got eight of the top 150 draft picks in the next draft... maybe he takes a Florida State or something. Maybe he takes Florida.

Dabo remains at Clemson as of late 2024, but the narrative of him being 'stuck' or needing a move is a major talking point.

Ohio State's defense is one of the best in the last 25 years

Ohio State has absolutely just dominated their way through this thing because they play smart football and they got the best defense. They got one of the best defenses we've seen in the last 25 years in college football.

Ohio State did finish the regular season with an elite defense, though their ultimate playoff success determines the 'all-time' legacy.
