Kirk Cousins was on the verge of being in the MVP conversation before his injury

Kirk Cousins. A lot of games every game. Fastest Two minutes. A great Monday recap for everyone... The big story from this game was the unfortunate injury to Kirk Cousins... Kirk Cousins Tears his Achilles... he also was playing awesome Ball. Like he was on the precipice of being in the MVP conversation because the Vikings started to win games.

Opinion Football Medium

Cousins was leading the NFL in touchdown passes (18) and was top 3 in yards at the time of injury, which usually correlates with MVP consideration.

The Packers are officially a bad football team

I foolishly thought this was the spot to back the Packers because it was the Vikings off a big win against the Niners. The Packers look terrible. Turns out the Packers are just dog shit... yeah, the Packers are bad. Yeah, they're officially a bad team.

Opinion Football Medium

The Packers eventually righted the ship, finishing 9-8 and beating the Cowboys in a playoff game, meaning they weren't 'dog shit' for the full season.

Sam Howell is the guy. He was amazing today. He might've been the best quarterback in the NFL this entire week... Sam Howell is the fucking guy. He's the most guy ever. Oh, okay. He is the guy. The guy a guy... he's the goddamn motherfucking guy bitch.

Opinion Football Hot

Howell was eventually benched later in the season for Jacoby Brissett and the Commanders traded him to Seattle in the offseason to draft Jayden Daniels.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the NFC South. The Saints finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs.

Zach Wilson is incapable of playing good football in the rain

I think [Zach Wilson] would've played better if it didn't rain. I said it a couple weeks ago. Can't play in the rain. Yeah, that's true. You did say that. You called that he can't play in the rain.

Opinion Football Medium Subjective

Wilson famously struggled in rain games, including against the Patriots and Jaguars earlier in his career, though he struggled in most other conditions as well.

Deshaun Watson does not love playing the game of football

A lot of people were having the discourse. Does Deshaun Watson love football? Mm. Does he love, does he love being a football player or does he love playing football? Mm. I love that conversation... I think he just loves being a football player. Big Cat. He loves being paid like a football player... I don't think that he loves football. He doesn't love the grind.

Hot Take Football Hot Subjective

This is an unfalsifiable character judgment based on Watson's limited playing time and massive contract.

Justin Fields looks like an asshole for wearing sunglasses on the sideline while the team is losing

I didn't love that Justin Fields is wearing sunglasses on the sideline yet. I did love it. I know this is to makes me sound like an old guy... I don't know if you're, if you're at your job and you're wearing sunglasses, you are a piece of shit... Justin Fields wearing sunglasses and George looks like an asshole. I love Justin Fields. So, I I know. Listen, we've had 'em on the show... If I were standing next to him, I've been like, maybe what? Maybe if we're winning the sunglasses play when you're getting your ass kicked the way we got our ass kicked. Maybe take 'em off.

Tyson Fury was embarrassingly out of shape for the Ngannou fight

Tyson Fury always looks a little bit outta shape, but he looked so outta shape next to Ngannou. Just like they look like different species... he was the heaviest he's ever been was he? That's what they said. Which bullshit for the announcers to say that.

Opinion Boxing/MMA Mild

Fury weighed in at 277 lbs, which was actually a few pounds lighter than his previous fight against Derek Chisora (268 lbs), though he did appear less toned than usual.

Dylan Brooks is successfully embracing the villain role in the NBA

My who's back of the week is Dylan Brooks being a villain... I think he's embracing being the villain. I think it's good.

Opinion Basketball Mild

Brooks became one of the most talked-about players in the league for his antics and defensive intensity, effectively serving as the league's primary heel.
