The Bears would never trade a second-round pick for Montez Sweat without a long-term deal in place

I assume every trade like this, you assume that there is a deal in place to resign Montez Sweat. So everyone's like, why would you trade a second round pick for a guy who's gonna be a free agent? Obviously if he becomes a free agent, this is the dumbest deal ever. I am assuming that Ryan Polls has already worked it out with his agent and there's a plan in place to sign him long-term.

Montez Sweat signed a four-year, $98 million extension with the Bears on November 4, 2023, just days after the trade.

I am officially all in on the San Francisco 49ers

I would like to officially announce I'm all in on the Niners now. I Trent Williams, chase Young Kyle Shanahan. I said this on, on Monday's show. But if you're a fan of a shitty franchise, the best you can do sometimes is to just root for your guys to win somewhere. So I'm, I'm gonna put a big future on the Niners. They're my team.

The Niners made the Super Bowl but lost, so while they were a good bet, they didn't win the title PFT implies with 'big future'.

Josh McDaniels is a misunderstood genius whose offense only works with Hall of Fame players

I think maybe we're all wrong about Josh McDaniels. Maybe he is an offensive genius, but maybe there's just no players that are good enough to play football at the level that Josh McDaniels expects... his offense only works if it's Tom Brady and Randy Moss running it. And if it's anybody else, then it just looks like the biggest nightmare you've ever seen.

McDaniels was fired on October 31, 2023 (released early Nov 1), proving his 'genius' was a failure.

Tyrese Maxey is currently the best player in the NBA Eastern Conference

Tyrese Maxey is the best player in the Eastern Conference. Fact or fiction? ... hang the banner of the week. Hang, there's only been one week. If the MVP was given out today, he would win it.

Joel Embiid won MVP the prior year and was ahead of Maxey; Jayson Tatum and others remained superior. Maxey did win Most Improved Player.

Ohio State should be ranked #1 in the first CFP rankings based on resume

If I had to take a guess, I would think that Ohio State will be one and there'll be Georgia and Michigan in a two three... Ohio state only because they do probably have the best resume on paper with a Penn State win and a Notre Dame Road win.

Ohio State was indeed ranked #1 in the first 2023 CFP rankings released on October 31, 2023.

Oregon is currently the best team in the Pac-12 despite their loss to Washington

I do think Oregon, what they did in Utah on Saturday, like that doesn't happen to Utah. They bullied him. Oregon. It's weird because even though they lost to Washington, they look like they're the best team in that conference right now.

Washington beat Oregon for a second time in the Pac-12 Championship game, proving they were the superior team in that conference for 2023.

I'm betting the over on Northwestern vs Iowa's historic 29.5 total

The lowest over, under total. Yes. In the history of college football at Wrigley... This is 29 and a half, right? 29 and a half. It's Northwestern Iowa. I think I have to go to this game... I'll bet the over.

The game total was 17 points, well under the 29.5 line.

The San Jose Sharks might be one of the worst teams in modern NHL history

I think the Sharks are really gonna struggle to score goals. It could be one of the worst teams we've ever seen in modern day NHL.

The Sharks finished the 2023-24 season with a 19-54-9 record and 47 points, the worst in the league.

Brock Bowers is better than Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce

I can't believe how good he, like I, I think it could be, he could be better than Kelsey and Gronk... that guy's insane.

Too early to definitively judge a pro career, but Bowers was a high first-round pick. This remains subjective.

The Edmonton Oilers will win the Stanley Cup

I picked the Edmonton Oilers [to win the cup]. The way the season starts, it's obviously not ideal... I pick the Edmonton Oilers.

The Oilers lost the Stanley Cup Final in 7 games to the Florida Panthers.
