The Tennessee Titans are for real, for real

I saw some people saying that the Rams stink, but I think that was more the Titans are for real, for real. And we've got to start taking them as such because no Derrick Henry. Their defense steps up. They can still play offense when they need to. I'm putting the Titans as for real, for real.

The Titans finished the 2021 season as the #1 seed in the AFC despite Henry's injury, proving they were indeed 'for real.'

Cliff Kingsbury is a good coach

Hand up. I have to do a mea culpa. Cliff Kingsbury's a good coach. There it is. He's a good coach. Yeah, because that was an impressive win for them today with their two top wide receivers out and their quarterback out. And, like, they game planned better than the 49ers today.

Kingsbury led the Cardinals to an 11-6 record and a playoff berth in 2021, though his tenure eventually ended in firing after 2022.

Baker Mayfield and the Browns are significantly better without Odell Beckham

It is not a hot take to say that the Browns are just significantly better and Baker Mayfield is significantly better without Odell Beckham. ... Because he doesn't have to feel like he has to throw the ball to Odell Beckham, and if he misses Odell Beckham, Odell Beckham's dad's going to make a fucking mixtape with R.E.M. behind it.

While the Browns won 41-16 in their first game post-OBJ, they ultimately finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs, while OBJ won the Super Bowl with the Rams.

Vikings fans are not allowed to say they are a couple plays away from being a good team

Vikings fans, you are not allowed to say we are a couple plays away from being a good team because at some point you are what you are, and the Vikings are just the team that can play teams close but can never win a game.

The 2021 Vikings finished 8-9 with 8 of their losses coming by one possession (8 points or less).

The narrative that Lamar Jackson can't lead comebacks is officially dead

We got to officially bury a narrative. Lamar Jackson is now the king of the comebacks this year. ... Previously in his career, he was 0-6, went down two scores in the second half. He's now had three games this year where he's brought the Ravens back down from double digits. That narrative's dead.

In 2021, Lamar Jackson led multiple double-digit comebacks (notably against the Colts and Vikings).

The Patriots might win the Super Bowl this year

What if the Patriots get to the Super Bowl? ... This year, my brother is getting married the week after the Super Bowl in California, so I'm going to be out in California. I'm thinking it's going to be just the biggest party week of all time. I'm going to win the soupy, I'm taking the next week off, and I'm just going to live the greatest life of all time.

The Patriots made the playoffs but were blown out by the Bills in the Wild Card round.

The 49ers are officially a broken group of guys

I think the 49ers are officially a broken group of guys. If [Garoppolo] makes that pass, that one pass... That he overthrew Emmanuel Sanders. Everything changes.

The 2021 49ers actually rallied to reach the NFC Championship game, contradicting the 'broken' narrative.

Jordan Love is not ready for the NFL

Jordan Love... He wasn't ready. I don't think any amount of sitting is going to make him better at football. ... He's not ready, guys. I don't think you want to give him more time. ... Jordan Love stunk. He's so bad.

While Love struggled in his first start in 2021, he eventually became a high-performing starter in 2023, leading the Packers to a playoff win.

San Diego State punter Matt Araiza should be a first-round pick

Someone should draft [Matt Araiza] in the first round. ... If he can punt like this all the time, it actually is an incredible game changer. ... You think that if the Patriots took him... I think they should take him. That's the perfect end of first round draft pick.

Matt Araiza was drafted in the 6th round (180th overall) by the Buffalo Bills in 2022.

The state of Arizona is right to end Daylight Savings Time

I don't care about the daylight savings technicality... why we do it. I'm pretty sure the state of Arizona ended it. ... I just don't understand why farmers need to have us bent over a barrel for them. I'm sick of it. Agreed. It's very depressing.

Arizona is one of the few states that does not observe Daylight Savings Time.

Michigan will win the college basketball national championship

I'm pretty sure Gonzaga's a favorite. Fucking Gonzaga. They're never going to win shit. [Big Cat: Who do you have winning all?] Michigan.

Michigan reached the Sweet 16 but did not win the championship; Kansas won the 2022 title.
