DK Metcalf is destined to be drafted by the Raiders

He's a Raider. Basically, Matt Millen and Al Davis' corpse are going to have a celebrity death match to see who can come back and draft him.

DK Metcalf was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

DK Metcalf's 1.6% body fat is a huge red flag

1.6% body fat is actually a huge red flag for me. Have a burger, man. You're a psycho if you have 1.6% body fat.

While Metcalf had an excellent career, 1.6% body fat is physiologically near-impossible for a living human, suggesting the measurement was likely inaccurate.

The Steelers will trade Antonio Brown somewhere he hates just to spite him

I think we're at the point now where the Steelers are going to trade him to somewhere he doesn't want to go and just fuck him over.

The Steelers traded AB to the Raiders, a destination he initially seemed happy with because they gave him a new contract, though it famously blew up before he played a game.

Prime 47 is a better steakhouse than St. Elmo's in Indianapolis

Prime 47 versus St. Elmo's. I have Prime 47. I thought St. Elmo's is you go for the shrimp cocktail, but after that, the menu doesn't have a lot to offer.

Subjective food opinion.

Ketchup tastes better when it is refrigerated

I think ketchup tastes better when it's refrigerated. Yeah, but you don't need to [refrigerate it]. That's kind of one of those weird things.

Subjective preference.

Lacrosse is the sport of the future

Good indication of the sport of the future. I saw that highlight on my feed more than baseball, rugby, basketball, any other sport.

Lacrosse has seen growth but remains a niche sport compared to the Big 4.

If the US prioritized rugby, we would be the best football country in the world

At this point, if the U.S. took our best rugby players from a young age and taught them football, we would be the best football country in the world. That's how good our rugby team is.

The U.S. is already the best football country in the world (American football). If he means soccer (football), the argument about athletic crossover is a common but unprovable debate.

Jason Witten was essentially fired by ESPN

Jason Witten just got fired. Let's just call it what it is. If he was good at his job, he would not have gone back. I think ESPN was essentially like, dude, we're not saying you're fired, but... you're fired.

Witten was widely criticized for his performance on MNF, and his return to the Cowboys after just one year in the booth suggests ESPN was likely ready to move on.

The kickoff will never be removed from the NFL

Do you think the kickoff is going to be gone in a few years? No way. No way? No, it's football. We've got to keep the foot in football.

As of 2024, the kickoff still exists, though it has been radically redesigned (2024 hybrid kickoff rule) to address safety while preserving the play.

Lamar Jackson needs to hit at least a 60% completion rate for success

What does success look like for [Lamar Jackson] next year? I'd say it's minimum 60% completion rate because we're going to be throwing the ball downfield, so it's not going to be a dink and dunk offense.

In 2019, Lamar Jackson had a 66.1% completion rate and won the NFL MVP.

The NFL should implement a 'Sky Judge' official in the press box

Let's put an official up in the box. He doesn't have to be a replay guy. Just make him the sky judge. Let him officiate the game from up there too. Just the big stuff, just the clear, obvious stuff.

The NFL has since implemented 'expedited review' and more assistance from the Replay Assistant/Art McNally GameDay Central that functions similarly to a Sky Judge.

Robert Griffin III's best football is still ahead of him

I think a lot of people might chuckle at this, but I would say this. His best football is ahead of him. I really believe that.

RG3 remained a backup and never reached the heights of his rookie season again before transitioning to media.

The 2011 Ravens were more talented than the 2012 Super Bowl team

Really, that was probably our best team, 2011. The most talented team. We were probably better than the 2012 team.

LeBron James is in 'playoff mode,' which means he will not win another title

Playoff mode for LeBron means that he's not going to win another title. So he is currently in playoff mode.

LeBron James won the NBA Championship with the Lakers in 2020.
