Hard Knocks has taken a nosedive and is no longer essential viewing

hard knocks has taken a nosedive. It was a drone shot, which was cool. The drone shot was very cool. Very cool... but that is what hard knocks [is]. Like we're at a point now that was tonight's mojo moment. It was the mojo moment. We're watching the hard knocks because that's what we want to do. But there's also moments where we're like, why are we doing this?

The show's ratings and cultural relevance have generally declined over the years as teams exert more control over the content.

Hard Knocks should be a two-hour special at the end of training camp instead of a weekly series

I think maybe if you, if you were to take the entire training camp and then distill it into two hours. Yeah, I think that would be good. We'll film a film. Yeah. Just like, guess have it, have it be two hours on HBO. Like the last week of the pre-season after the cuts, that way you get to meet everybody, you get to meet all the kids.

This is a subjective proposal for how to fix a TV show.

Ben DiNucci is at the end of his line with the Cowboys

I'm dreading next week's cuts. Cause I think [Ben] DeNucci is at the end of his line three picks. He's got the arm launch angle thing going on.

Ben DiNucci was indeed waived by the Cowboys during final roster cuts in August 2021 (though he was signed to the practice squad).

Aroldis Chapman is the sweatiest man in New York sports history

I mean, if [Aroldis] Chapman, like, if that's your closer, I can't who sweat, who's a sweaty or man Aroldis Chapman or Patrick Ewing and the history of New York sports cause a role does Chapman. He is able to accomplish Patrick Ewing, like levels of sweat in a much shorter periods.

This is a humorous subjective comparison.

Cam Newton's absence due to COVID protocols has opened a major window for Mac Jones

my hot seat is cam Newton... One important member of the [Patriots] organization believes this has opened a window of opportunity for rookie Mac Jones team practice today. And then with New York giant... if you fuck up your commitments to the team, like it's an advantage for Mac Jones to get playing time.

Mac Jones was named the starter and Cam Newton was released just days later, proving this was the turning point.

Jameis Winston is the Saints' clear starter and Taysom Hill should remain a gimmick player

My cool throne is Jameis Winston. Cause he's incredible... unbelievable shut up about Taysom Hill... These [media] people were going in on how Taysom Hill didn't get a real shot. Taysom Hill is getting paid a lot of money to be a gimmick quarterback. And he should be happy with how much like he's in that sweet spot. He should never try to do too much because everyone was like, wow, what a great weapon that he is when he has to throw the ball 30 times. He's not a great weapon.

Jameis Winston was indeed named the starter and performed well before his ACL injury.

Jameis Winston is a future Hall of Famer

if you have Jameis Winston, future hall of Famer, or you have Taysom Hill who threw one pass last night, that it might've been the worst pass I've ever seen.

While Jameis has put up massive stats, he is highly unlikely to be a Hall of Famer.

The Jaguars will fail Trevor Lawrence, not the other way around

I'm gonna, I'm going to switch the narrative on Trevor Lawrence. I think that it's the Jack, the Jaguars will fail Trevor Lawrence, not Trevor Lawrence failing the Jaguars because they don't put a team around him. Like I, I think he's going to be great if they can put a little bit of a team around it.

The Urban Meyer era was a disaster, though Lawrence eventually found success under Doug Pederson.

Quarterback 'grit' is taking a big hit and immediately moving to the next play

for a quarterback, I feel like grit is being able to take the big hit and going onto the next play. It's the men looking at you and seeing some qualities that they like. You're kind of getting away from the pretty boy aspect of being a quarterback. Maybe not sliding feet first, but diving head first into the end zone.

This is a subjective definition of a trait.

The Washington Football Team is guaranteed at least 10 wins this season

We're in the sweet spot where people haven't mentally jumped over that hurdle of 17 game season. So you can say 10 wins and it's not as much even, you know, 10 and seven is not [crazy] because you think 10 wins is guaranteed. [Fitzpatrick]: No guarantees coming from me.

Washington finished the 2021 season with a 7-10 record after Fitzpatrick got injured in Week 1.

Buffalo has the most fanatical and unparalleled fan base in the NFL

I've loved a lot of the places that I've played. I really have, but nothing compares to the city of Buffalo. Nothing not even close. I love it.

The iceberg is the ultimate villain of the Titanic story

I'm going to go with the iceberg in Titanic. All time. Villain killed a lot of people... The iceberg fucking hanging out. It smoked like 4,000 people... The iceberg took a charge, right? The iceberg, the ball's going the other way. Worked didn't fucking move. Iceberg had position. That's a fact.

Humorous personification of a natural object.

Capitalism is the true villain of the Titanic movie

Billy says capitalism is the villain and Titanic because we're trying to maximize profits instead of safety.

The boy from 'The Giving Tree' is a toxic friend and a 'real prick'

The kid in the giving tree... the kids a real prick... the tree is just honestly, a toxic friend. Is it like, he's a piece of shit. The kid takes every frame, everything from this tree until he cuts the tree down at the end and sits on his like, thank you tree for being here for me when I'm an old man... no you fucking prick. You just killed your best friend.

This is a common adult re-interpretation of the book's themes.
