The NFL will force Stephen Ross to sell the Miami Dolphins

I think that they're going to force him [Stephen Ross] to sell the team. I think this is the only way that an owner could be forced to sell. Because owners have so many skeletons in their closet that they're never going to vote another guy out... But when you start involving like changing the outcomes of games and bribing coaches, things like that. I feel like this is, this is a great excuse for owners to try to sell the team or try to vote them out.

As of early 2025, Stephen Ross still owns the Miami Dolphins. He was suspended and fined following an investigation into tampering, but not forced to sell for the tanking allegations.

The Washington Commanders name won't matter once the season starts

The team name, I think I said it on Wednesday's show, but, like, people get mad about it for 24 hours. No one, like, will remember it, care. Then football will be back, and we'll be like, who cares? It's not going to be – I don't think it makes or breaks anything.

The name remains controversial and unpopular with the fan base years later, and there are ongoing discussions about changing it again under new ownership.

Major Biden should be the animal mascot for the Washington Commanders

I'm hoping that since we're the commanders, which is the name of one of Joe Biden's dogs, the good one, Major Biden becomes the animal mascot. That'd be awesome to have him just patrolling the sidelines, biting the opponent, pissing and shitting all over himself. That's what I want.

The Commanders eventually debuted 'Major' the Hog as their mascot in 2023, not the President's dog.

I am on the same career track as Ryan Fitzpatrick

I can see myself, kind of like him [Ryan Fitzpatrick], kind of the same ride, everything... Throughout his career, he just jumped from place to place and was back up and then kind of thrown in and back up and thrown in. And I feel like I'm kind of on that track, hopefully on that track.

This has proven accurate as Heinicke has since moved from Washington to Atlanta to LA, serving as a high-end backup and occasional starter.

Terry McLaurin is easily a top 10 receiver in the NFL

I think that Terry McLaurin is easily a top 10 receiver in the NFL. Some of the catches that he was making this year were just unreal. The guy doesn't drop balls. It's insane.

While McLaurin is consistently productive (five straight 1,000-yard seasons), consensus rankings often place him just outside the top 10 (usually 11-15 range), though his talent is widely respected.

Fresh Skyline Chili is absolute gas and tastes like Mediterranean food

Skyline is actually fire... Didn't have Skyline from Cincinnati before. I had it from the cans and I didn't really like it. Got some fresh Skyline. It's absolute gas. It kind of tastes like Mediterranean food. Literally. Like the chili gives off like – hero [gyro] vibes.

Cincinnati chili was actually created by Greek immigrant restaurateurs, so the 'Mediterranean' flavor profile is historically and culinarily accurate.

The ACC is rigged and the referees are bullshit

Also, my Fyre Fest is the ACC refs are fucking bullshit. ACC's rigged. I'm going to get an investigation. What they did to Louisville on Tuesday night will not stand. So I stand with Louisville and all the people who are angry about that game.

There is no evidence the ACC is rigged; officiating complaints are standard in college basketball.
