Aaron Rodgers intentionally blocked Jordan Love from getting reps in the 49ers game

The Aaron Rodgers did need this would have been the perfect time for Jordan Love to get out there get some reps in my conspiracy theorist tinfoil hat says Aaron Rodgers put the kibosh on that.

While Rodgers later famously had a rift with the front office over the Love pick, there is no evidence he specifically blocked garbage-time reps in this game.

Keeping Adam Gase is the smartest move for the Jets because he is a 'tank' that can't be accused of tanking

Keeping Adam Gase is the smartest thing you can do is GM because... it actually Adam Gase is your tank like he is your tank but not tanking. You can't be accused of tanking, but you are tanking when you have Adam Gase there.

The Jets did nearly secure the #1 pick but accidentally won two games late in the season, losing out on Trevor Lawrence to the Jaguars.

The Seahawks defense will start turning a corner and stop being a liability within five weeks

Jamal Adams is going to be back. I think that the Seahawks defense is going to start turning a corner here playing well and it's going to take a little bit of time for people to catch up to it. But like in like three four weeks we're going to be sitting here being like, you know, who's really playing well to Seahawks defense.

The Seahawks defense actually did improve significantly in the second half of the 2020 season, allowing fewer than 20 points per game in their final 8 games.

Ryan Tannehill is a great quarterback, but he still actually stinks

Ryan Tannehill still stinks. I don't have anything beyond my eyes that told me that he still deserves not to be honest my guts right. It's my guts that are telling me that he still stinks. I just I still don't trust him. I've never trusted Ryan Tannehill... he is just been delaying the stinking.

Tannehill finished 2020 with 33 TDs and 7 INTs, leading the Titans to an 11-5 record. He was objectively very good in 2020, making this take factually incorrect.

The 'Christian Doctrine': NFL teams are actually harder to stop when their star player is out because of unpredictability

When a good player goes out or is traded the team does better I think we called the Christian doctrine... when a defense plans and you know Christian McCaffrey out there, you know, he's going to touch the ball like half the time when he's not you don't know where the balls going.

While the Panthers remained competitive without McCaffrey, they finished 5-11. The doctrine is more of a psychological observation than a winning formula.

Daniel Jones is JaMarcus Russell 2.0 because of his turnover rate

Daniel Jones and JaMarcus Russell had the same player in terms of turnovers... I will bring you know what I want. I will bring that exact same energy starting this weekend Daniel Jones. I'm going to run with that but is he is JaMarcus Russell 2.0.

While Jones struggled with turnovers, he eventually led the Giants to a playoff win, far exceeding JaMarcus Russell's career achievements.

Antonio Brown joining the Buccaneers will not end well because he is a 'legit psycho'

I'm calling my shot on this Antonio Brown is a legit psycho. You're hot right now because essentially your shots are... it's not going to end well now it's just not. I'm calling my shot on this Antonio Brown is a legit psycho... Big big-time bad news.

Though they won a Super Bowl together, it ended with Brown stripping his jersey off and walking off the field mid-game in January 2022.

Johnny V (Artie Bucco) was the funniest person on the set of The Sopranos

For me it was probably Johnny V who played Artie Bucco. He is he's hilarious... he would just go into an impression of somebody and just stay that guy, you know, like he would be walking around the hotel pretending to be somebody else.

Subjective opinion of a cast member.

Modern poker is no longer fun because it has been solved by mathematical models and GTO

13 years ago poker was different than it is now, you know, they figured it out with solvers and computers... it just it makes it a lot harder it makes it also a lot less fun. You know People are just sitting there not talking figuring out like mathematical equations in their head where when I was when I moved to Vegas everybody was drinking and laughing and the poker table was like a party, you know, where now it's like a classroom.

This is a widely held sentiment among old-school poker players about the shift in the game's culture.

I am one of the best in the world at predicting Dave Portnoy's pizza review scores

I feel like I'm one of the best in the world at predicting what Dave is going to rate a pizza... I'm nasty like it's just it's crazy. Like I picked this so many times... I would put money up if we want to do that one day.

Never officially tested in a head-to-head competition on the show.
