The Commanders' Super Bowl window is officially open.

I will announce that the Super Bowl window for the Commanders is officially open. This is the start of the Super Bowl window. Wow. We're not a Super Bowl winning team this year. I'm not thinking soupy this year, but I know when I see it, we have a Super Bowl window. We got a fuck load of cap space. we have a great quarterback. An awesome quarterback.

The Commanders have been a surprise success in 2024, but determining if a 'window' is open depends on sustained success over the next 2-4 years.

The Browns are publicly shaming Deshaun Watson by forcing him to continue playing quarterback.

What if we're just thinking about it wrong? What if this is just the Browns actually doing justice in a public shaming way. They're like, he's so bad. And we know he is so bad he can't play quarterback. We're just gonna make him continue to play quarterback and publicly shame him because that's the only justice he'll ever have. ... The only way that the league can punish him? Make him continue to play quarterback.

This is a subjective interpretation of coaching decisions. Watson was eventually benched due to a season-ending Achilles injury shortly after this episode.

Nick Sirianni is having a mental breakdown.

Nick Sirianni after the game or while the game was still going on, looked into the crowd and started basically getting in an argument with the Eagles crowd... Has he lost his mind? He also shaved his head. Which which is a classic sign of losing his mind. ... Siri's showing up today. I think that everybody thought the same thing. Like this is, we saw what happened with Britney Spears. Is Siri in a conservatorship?

Sirianni's behavior was widely mocked, but 'mental breakdown' is an exaggerated characterization for comedic effect.

Nick Sirianni and the Eagles will have a mutual parting of ways at the end of the season.

I don't know. I think his time is, I feel like, honestly I feel like it's gonna, at the end of the year be a a mutual, a mutual parting of ways. ... He doesn't like if that's the way you're gonna react to like the fans acting like the fans have acted in Philadelphia for a hundred years.

The season is ongoing; we will see if Sirianni is retained after the 2024 season.

Joe Flacco is the better option if the Colts are trying to win football games right now.

And Flacco, he makes a couple mistakes, but they're no worse than any Anthony Richardson mistake. And then he's at his best. ... I mean, I think if you're trying to win football games, that's what you're supposed to do. Then you should start Joe. It's that simple.

Statistically, Flacco did provide higher passing efficiency for the Colts in 2024, but the team eventually committed back to Richardson for development.

I give Drake Maye a solid B-minus for his first career start.

I'm gonna give Drake Maye a solid B-minus. ... [A] bad interception. ... He did get pressured a lot. He did, you know, get thrown into the fire. But he threw a couple really nice deep balls. A couple mistakes. But it was, it was exciting.

The Texans might actually benefit long-term from Nico Collins being out because it forced Tank Dell and Joe Mixon to step up.

My idea that the Texans might actually end up benefiting long-term for Nico Collins being out this tank dell had his best game of the season. Joe Mixon was a awesome, again... I think the Texans are gonna be better off [because of the variety of scoring].

While Dell and Mixon played well, the Texans' offense generally struggled for consistency until Collins returned. Subjective assessment of 'benefit'.

The Lions have the best roster in the NFC by far.

I think they're the best roster in the NFC by far. ... I still think that the Lions are, are good enough to still, we can still say I think they have the best roster in the NFC. ... I'm not saying the Lions are bad. I just don't, I don't think the Bucs [are in that tier].

The Lions have remained the top-ranked team in the NFC by most analysts through mid-2024.

The Panthers should put Bryce Young back in because they aren't winning with Andy Dalton anyway.

Why don't the Panthers just put Bryce Young back in? ... What's the point in not playing him when you're not gonna do anything this year? I know that it's probably, you know, you're, you're wishing on a lottery ticket. But what's the point in not playing him when you're not gonna do anything this year? ... The gambler in me would be like, what if a one in a hundred chance he just, something clicks and he's good.

The Panthers did eventually put Bryce Young back in as the starter later in the season.

I find myself actually liking LeBron James after watching the 'Starting Five' show on Netflix.

I have been watching, there's a lot episodes, so I'm, I'm not finished with it. But the NBA starting five show on Netflix. ... I do find myself like liking LeBron... He's funny. ... Like he's just, it's just the, he's funny. He's just a big goof.
