The Raiders are the worst team in the NFL

The Raiders are the worst team in the league. And that is also considering the fact they beat the Browns. But they are the worst team in the league.

The Raiders finished 2018 at 4-12. While they were bottom-tier, the Cardinals (3-13) statistically had a worse record.

Nick Mullens will have a job for life as an NFL backup quarterback

Nick Mullens will have a job for life... he basically will have a Chase Daniel career where he can get paid in a million different stops and never play again and be fine.

As of 2024, Nick Mullens has remained in the NFL as a reliable backup for the 49ers, Browns, Raiders, and Vikings, fulfilling the 'job for life' prediction.

George Kittle is the second-best tight end in the NFL behind Travis Kelce

George Kittle... now he's probably the second-best tight end behind Travis Kelce in the league. Sick brag on our part. But George, this is us saying, please come on the show now that you're bigger than us.

Kittle finished the 2018 season with 1,377 receiving yards (an NFL record for TEs at the time) and was a First-team All-Pro shortly after.

The Houston Texans are a legitimate Super Bowl contender

I've talked myself into the Texans are a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

The Texans won the AFC South but lost in the Wild Card round to the Colts. They were never true Super Bowl threats.

I would fight Jon Jones again even if he is on performance-enhancing drugs

At the end of the day, he won the fights, and that's all I want to do is win the fights. So if that means fighting him again, even if he's on the stuff, I mean, you have to do it. So, yeah, of course I want to fight him again.

They never fought a third time, so this remains a subjective statement of intent.

I will submit Derrick Lewis in the second or third round

I'm going to submit the guy. Second, third round... I usually like the submission because what leads to the submission is just domination, like just exhaustion.

Daniel Cormier defeated Derrick Lewis via rear-naked choke in the 2nd round at UFC 230.

Conor McGregor cannot win a rematch against Khabib Nurmagomedov due to the matchup

Matchup-wise, this is just a bad matchup... Khabib doesn't get hit clean right away to get knocked out. He also has the ability to take him down, and also he's in great shape. He's not going to get tired... With Khabib, it didn't seem to have the same effect because Khabib's so big.

A rematch never happened, but Khabib's dominance over other similar strikers suggests DC's assessment of the style clash was accurate.

I only have two fights remaining in my career: Derrick Lewis and Brock Lesnar

I got two fights. I got this fight [Lewis] and then against Lesnar. That's it.

The Brock Lesnar fight never materialized. Cormier went on to fight Stipe Miocic two more times after the Derrick Lewis fight before retiring in 2020.

Bryson DeChambeau is an asshole for deciding to leave the flag pin in while putting

He has decided that this year he will be leaving the pin in when he putts... depending on the coefficient of the restitution of the pin. What an asshole.

The take is a subjective opinion on DeChambeau's personality/approach.

Hugh Jackson will eventually claim he was fired because he refused to fire Todd Haley

I think at some point in the next several months moving forward here, we're going to hear an interview with Hugh Jackson where he says, I was fired because I wouldn't fire Todd Haley. Yes, yes. That's the next thing. I stood by my guys.

While Jackson made many excuses on his media tour, the specific narrative that he was fired for *protecting* Haley (whom he openly clashed with) didn't become his primary defense; he mostly blamed the front office for not letting him draft Mahomes or Wentz.
