Brock Purdy is just flat out good

Brock Purdy's just good. He has wheels. He is moving around. He's throwing guys open. Yeah, he's good.

Purdy has consistently performed as a top-tier QB since taking over for the 49ers.

The Phillies are in a downhill spiral and their window is closed

Philly's lost the game. They looked like shit. It's exact same thing that went on from 2009 to 2011 of the Phillies... and then what I am saying, yes, it is the same thing. Like it is just a downhill spiral with no World Series. There's no hope. There's no hope. And the window's closed for every team.

The Phillies have been a perennial contender, but this is a subjective view on their future window.

The Cleveland Browns will beat the Philadelphia Eagles

Browns money line. Eagles are bad. The vibe in that stadium is going to be horrendous. They're going to get booed within one incompletion. No one expects anything out of this Eagles team. The Browns are going to win.

The Eagles beat the Browns 20-16.

Tim Tebow would have won a lot of games if an NFL team ran his college offense

If I run his college offense, I'm going to win a lot of games in the National Football League. He'll never make a Pro Bowl, but I want that guy on my team... nobody ever gave him a shot [after Denver]. Nobody ever gave him a shot. I, I just believed in him winning football games.

Tebow was given brief stints with the Jets, Patriots, and Eagles but failed to stick as a QB in conventional systems.

Dak Prescott is not a Super Bowl winning quarterback

I'm just not buying. I don't believe I've, I've seen enough. I know what he is. And what especially he is not, he is two and five in the postseason. And every time a big moment has come in a postseason game that is begging to be won, he's not there. He's safe, and you know, he's going to put up gaudy enough numbers to be somewhere on the fringe of the MVP race... but they'll be just good enough to be a factor, just good enough to be relevant.

Dak Prescott has yet to lead the Cowboys past the Divisional Round.

Michael Jordan was the worst team builder in the history of sports

Michael Jordan as the team builder in Charlotte, who was the biggest disaster of a general manager in the history of sports. The greatest performer and player in the history of sports was the worst team builder in the history of sports for low those many years in Charlotte. Because he couldn't see why can he play and he can't.

Jordan's tenure as Hornets owner/GM saw very little on-court success, but 'worst in history' is hyperbolic.

LeBron James was born without a clutch gene

The poor man was just born without a clutch gene, and we see it again and again and again. MJ or LeBron? Stop it. Don't even go there because it's offensive to me. You would put those two in the same sentence because LeBron could not carry Jordan's sneakers.

Whether LeBron is 'clutch' is highly subjective, though stats often show he is statistically very successful in late-game situations.

Bronny James might not be able to play in the NBA

I've seen 14, 13 minute stints in two preseason games... it's Summer League all over again. I saw him share the floor with his father for the first time ever, and he plays 14 minutes and he turns it over four times and he scores zero points. And I'm saying I, I don't know if he can play. Seriously. What if his son just can't hack it?

Bronny's career is in its infancy; his long-term viability as an NBA player is pending.
