The Saints should let their offense run through Taysom Hill all the time

They should just let that offense run through Taysom Hill all the time. There's nobody like him in the NFL. He seems to be effective at moving the chains. The offense is something that like, you can't really prepare for that well. It's like facing the triple option. If you have a Taysom Hill game, like you haven't played an offense like that all season. And Taysom Hill is good enough at being a quarterback and good enough running with a football where I feel like he would be a much better starter than Derek Carr.

The Saints did not switch to Hill as a full-time starter; Carr remained the primary QB while Hill continued in a hybrid role.

The Saints need to blow everything up and reset their franchise

The Saints just have to admit that they suck and they have to start blowing everything up because the Saints have been doing this for, it started at the end of the Brees era and it's been going on ever since where they just continually kick the can down the road. The Saints are $71 million over the cap next year. I don't even know how that's possible. Why wouldn't they just start trading people? Start cutting, start trading, just reset everything. If you're a Saints fan, you have to want a fresh restart.

Subjective opinion on roster management, though the Saints notably did NOT blow it up and continued to restructure contracts for 2024.

Shane Steichen should be the NFL Coach of the Year

Shane Steichen is coach of the year. That touchdown play, the Michael Pittman touchdown where they ran a fake rub route was like so perfectly—I'd have to imagine they had run that rub route a bunch of times and then to save the fake for that exact moment was ran to perfection.

Kevin Stefanski won the 2023 AP NFL Coach of the Year award, though Steichen finished high in the voting (runner-up).

Tyreek Hill should be in the MVP conversation and is currently better than Tua

Why isn't Tyreek Hill in the MVP conversation? I think he is. He's gonna get 2,000 yards. I think he should. If any wide receiver gets it, it should be Tyreek Hill. How about that? Tua is eliminated. All the fun Dolphins offense stats will now go to Tyreek Hill in terms of the MVP convo.

Tyreek Hill finished 2nd in AP Offensive Player of the Year voting and 6th in MVP voting; Lamar Jackson won MVP.

Jordan Love is actually good and the Packers will make the playoffs

The Packers are going to go to the playoffs and Jordan Love is good. And it's fucking bullshit. He looks so much better than he did at the beginning of the season. He's come along and it's bullshit. He looks comfortable. He is doing fucking Rodgers shit. The whole thing is bullshit. Nothing in life is fair.

The Packers did make the playoffs and Jordan Love finished the season with 32 touchdowns, proving he was a franchise-caliber starter.

The 49ers are definitively the best team in the NFC right now

Obviously the Niners shit-pumped the Eagles. They're the better, they're the better team right now without question. But they had 10 days of rest. It's a fact. It's not just obvious to be like, 'oh yeah, we just saw what happened, that's what's gonna happen in the NFC Championship game.'

The 49ers went on to reach the Super Bowl representing the NFC, while the Eagles collapsed and lost in the Wild Card round.

Florida State deserved to be in the Playoff, but Alabama makes for better TV

Two things can be true at the same time. Florida State deserved to be in the college football playoff. The college football Playoff is better off with Alabama in it. If you asked literally any division one coach, who would you rather play? Florida State or Alabama? I think they would all say they would rather play Florida State.

Subjective debate regarding the CFP committee's criteria.

If Florida State beats Georgia in the Orange Bowl, they should claim a National Championship

If Florida State goes and beats Georgia in their bowl game, claim that National Championship. Just claim it. Just say it. Pull the UCF and no, there's no rule of saying that you can't declare yourself National champion if you're undefeated. That's what I would do.

Florida State lost to Georgia 63-3, so the condition of them beating Georgia was not met.

This is the first CFP where all four teams can legitimately win the title

Florida State debacle aside, this is the first time I feel like we have a college football playoff where all four teams can win the title. And it's not like a leap of imagination. It is four teams that are so fucking good and they all kind of do stuff... it's gonna be a great matchup everywhere.

The games were extremely competitive (Alabama-Michigan went to OT, Washington-Texas was a one-score game), supporting the claim of parity.

The NFL should allow players to wear either zero, one, or three-plus mouthpieces

Anthony Evans... was wearing not one, not two, but three mouthpieces at once on his person. He's got a red one in his mouth, yellow one hanging down, and then he has a third mouthpiece that's jammed into his left ear hole on his helmet. I kind of love three mouthpiece. Congress needs to step in. You can't do two. You can do three or more. You can do one, zero, or three or more. That's my ruling.

Inherently nonsensical fashion 'ruling.'
