The Steelers are not a playoff team

The Steelers are bad. And I'm, listen, I don't think the Steelers are a playoff team. They shouldn't be. They're now officially outside of the playoffs, which is good for football.

The Steelers actually did make the playoffs as a Wild Card team in 2023 despite Big Cat's claim that they shouldn't/wouldn't be there.

The NBA In-Season Tournament is a win for Adam Silver

The in season Tournament has been very fun. It is a win for Adam Silver 'cause it's games that no one would care about. And now we care about him. Right. Like I, I watched him, I was like, this is fun.

General consensus was that the first IST was a success in terms of viewership and player intensity.

You can't win a Super Bowl if you used the 9/11 hijackers for motivation

I'm gonna say you can't win a super Bowl if, if that happened. I'm gonna agree with that. I'm gonna go, you know what? So everything we said, we we're no more glazing. We have not glazed anymore. Pardon, My, Take. We're removing the glaze.

The Bills were eliminated in the Divisional Round by the Chiefs, failing to win the Super Bowl.

Mark Andrews is to the Ravens what Travis Kelce is to the Chiefs

I feel like Mark Andrews is to the Ravens, what Travis Kelce is to the Chiefs. Yeah. He's not as good as Travis Kelce. He's still very, very good. One of the best. He's baby Kelce.

Subjective comparison of value to their respective offenses.

The Colts will win 10 games this year

I think the Colts are gonna have 10 wins this year. You think? You think Sean Peyton ever did a bounty on a punter.

The Colts finished the 2023 season with a 9-8 record, just missing the 10-win mark.

The Superdome is no longer a home field advantage for the Saints

The dome is not the dome. Yeah. It's, it goes, the dome has been aging along with a lot of the roster. Right... they're 0 and 5 against the spread this year at home... five and 15 against the spread at home since 2021.

The Saints' home ATS record remained poor throughout the season, supporting the claim that the 'Dome' advantage isn't what it used to be.

Zach Wilson will provide a 'spark' for the Jets upon his return

I think the Jets... Zach Wilson is a spark. I do. I think he's the spark... I keep thinking about it more and more and it's like, it's, it's, it's maybe less Zach Wilson and more just looking at the board and being like, everyone's gonna say Texans minus three and a half is the easiest bet.

Zach Wilson had one of the best games of his career that Sunday, throwing for 301 yards and 2 TDs in a 30-6 win over the Texans.

The Patriots' era of dominance was more about Tom Brady than Bill Belichick

Pretty soon Bill Belichick is entering the sift Lord type of realm where I think that fans are gonna start to hate him. They realize that the Patriot wave was more about, you know, Tom Brady than it was him.

This is a subjective historical debate, but Brady's success in Tampa vs. Belichick's struggles post-Brady fueled this narrative.

Bill Belichick will stay with the Patriots next year

I truly believe that he will be here next year. But if he does go to another team like the Washington Commanders, I mean it doesn't really, you know, ri rival with the New England Patriots... But I just don't see that happening after this year. I think he'll definitely have another year to redeem himself.

Belichick and the Patriots mutually parted ways after the season in January 2024.

Sam LaPorta is the player most similar to my style of play

I'm gonna go with the guy from Detroit right now. He's a rookie, Sam La Porta... He's fast, he's got great hands on the run. He breaks tackles as well... and he is willing to block as well. I won't say he brings it to the table like I do in the block game, but I would say he brings, he's the most similar guy that's up and coming.

LaPorta had a historic rookie season, setting records for tight end receptions and being a key part of the Lions' deep playoff run.
