The Bengals' season is effectively over following Joe Burrow's wrist injury.

Joe Burrow looks to be out for a very long time. I, it is a UCL injury. Couldn't grip the football. Just the biggest bummer. And now it looks like we will not get the Bengals or Joe Burrow, more importantly Joe Burrow in the playoffs... the Bengals season is over.

The Bengals finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs as Burrow did indeed miss the rest of the season.

Joe Flacco winning a Super Bowl with the Browns is the best potential outcome for the season.

What a story that would be, huh? Oh, if Joe Flacco came in, handed the ball off for 90% of the time, threw 12 passes a game and the Browns won the Super Bowl. Yes. I think that's what I'm rooting for now.

Flacco did lead the Browns to the playoffs and won Comeback Player of the Year, but they lost in the Wild Card round.

The NFL injury reporting system is a joke that may eventually lead to congressional hearings.

Florio said, meanwhile, the NFL injury reporting system is a joke as evidenced by Burrow's wrist injury being hidden. The joke will be on the NFL when Congress calls a hearing or a prosecutor convenes a grand jury. I would love to see that... if you want to get people behind you just bring Roger Goodell up and make him testify under oath.

While the NFL investigated and the Bengals were fined, no congressional hearings or grand juries were convened over the matter.

Baker Mayfield was the best thing to ever happen to the Cleveland Browns.

Do you think people are coming around to the take that Baker Mayfield was the best thing that's ever happened to the Browns and they should never have let him go?

This is subjective, but Baker is the only Browns QB to win a playoff game in the modern era, supporting the argument.

Josh Dobbs is the ultimate 'fix-it' quarterback for struggling NFL teams.

There are so many teams right now being like Josh Dobbs could fix all of our problems. If the Jets had Josh Dobbs, they would be a playoff team... he basically is the guy that everyone looks to and is like, he could solve everything.

Dobbs' magic eventually ran out with the Vikings and he was benched by December, showing he wasn't a long-term fix.

The Miami Dolphins are officially off the NFL 'Fraud List'.

I think I'm ready to take Miami off the fraud list. They won't do it this week, but I'm gearing up for them to be off the fraud list because I'm thinking that their defense is gonna start playing really well... I'm ready to push the button and say no longer fraud.

The Dolphins lost the AFC East on the final day of the season and lost their first playoff game convincingly, leading most to re-label them as frauds.

Sam Howell is officially an elite NFL quarterback.

I might've just jumped past the whole Is he the guy conversation? I'm ready to ask if he's elite. Because there's as many insult graphics have been going around. There's a lot of complimentary graphics going around about Sam Howell. He's first in big time throws.

Howell led the NFL in interceptions and was eventually benched later in the season; he was traded to the Seahawks as a backup in 2024.

The Bears are no longer one of the 'truly terrible' teams in the NFL.

The bears are not as bad as people think they are. They are. They're [not] the worst teams in the league... which are the Panthers, the giants, maybe the Patriots, the Cardinals... I think the Bears are a step above that. They get lumped in there. They've actually been playing really good defense.

The Bears finished 7-10, significantly better than the Panthers (2-15) and Patriots (4-13), proving Big Cat right that they weren't in the bottom tier.

Israel Abanikanda is set to take over the Jets' backfield.

Izzy season? Izzy, the running back. They released Michael Carter and they're giving Izzy a shot. The bills can't stop the run... I'm gonna have to bet on him to score fucking a Memes.

Abanikanda remained a backup and had very limited impact the rest of the season; Breece Hall dominated the touches.

The Rams will exceed their win total and make the playoffs.

He [Whitworth] already said the Rams are making the playoffs this year. He still stands by it. I think they're gonna win more than seven and a half games this year.

The Rams finished 10-7 and secured a Wild Card spot, making this an excellent prediction.

LSU is a more difficult school to graduate from in four years than Harvard.

LSU, four years would be Tough. Man's a lot. I mean, you got two years of being incoherent... you're not worried about Fred's and Bogey and Tiger Land [at Harvard]... LSU [is harder].

This is a humorous, subjective take comparing social life vs. academic rigor.

The Washington Commanders will make a playoff run in the NFC.

I think Washington's gonna make a run. I like Washington making a run... I think Sam Howell's the guy is only getting better. I truly believe that.

The Commanders collapsed, losing their last 8 games to finish 4-13.

Sam Howell is the poor man's version of Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Sam Howell is a poor man's Ryan Fitzpatrick. I didn't know that. If you look at his bank account, come on baby.

This is a subjective player comparison based on their high-variance, aggressive playstyles.
