Puka Nacua's diving catch against the Ravens is the catch of the year so far

That one diving catch that [Puka Nacua] had. I'm putting that, that's my catch of the year so far. Wow. When you take into account everything around it with the weather and the stage and who it was against.

This is subjective, though many analysts cited Nacua's catches in 2023 as among the best.

The Jaguars are a smoke and mirrors team

The Jaguars feel like they're smoke and mirrors team. And it's starting to, we're starting to kind of get through the fog and we're like, 'Hey, wait a second. Why did we anoint the Jaguars?'

The Jaguars started 8-3 and finished 9-8, missing the playoffs, confirming the 'smoke and mirrors' / fraud narrative.

I want the Bears to draft Caleb Williams and move on from Justin Fields

I think they're gonna take Caleb Williams, which I'm all for. ... I don't think I want Justin Fields back.

The Bears did exactly this: they traded Justin Fields to the Steelers and drafted Caleb Williams with the #1 overall pick in 2024.

Zach Wilson is the perfect backup quarterback but can't play a full season

I think he's not good, but I think he's just the perfect backup quarterback where a guy goes down, he goes in, gives you a spark and that's it. ... Can't play a full season.

Wilson was eventually benched again later in the season and traded in the off-season, confirming he wasn't viewed as a starter.

The 49ers at their best are better than any team in football

I would say the 49ers at their best are better than any team in football. Yes. At their best. They can't be beat.

The 49ers made the Super Bowl but lost to the Chiefs, who proved to be 'better' in the championship game.

The Broncos can still win the AFC West

The Broncos can still win the AFC West. If Mike Pence has the courage. They're one game out. ... There's a world where they only lose one of the remaining games.

The Chiefs won the AFC West; the Broncos finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs.

The Eagles will lose in the first round of the playoffs

My overly direct take of the weekend is that the Eagles are gonna lose the first round of the playoffs. ... I was watching the defense. Defense wins championships. And the Eagles defense doesn't exist.

The Eagles suffered a historic collapse and lost 32-9 to the Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.

The Broncos, Bengals, and Bills will all make the playoffs as AFC wild card teams

My overly direct take... is that the Broncos, Bengals and Bills are all outta the playoffs right now. They're all gonna be the wild card teams in the AFC.

The Bills made the playoffs, but the Bengals and Broncos both missed.

Every MLB free agent contract is technically an overpay but it doesn't matter without a salary cap

If the roles were reversed, you would be so over the moon about this. And yes, every contract free agent contract in MLB history is an overpay because you're paying for past accomplishments and who cares? There's no salary cap. It's not your money.

Subjective business philosophy regarding sports economics.
