All Takes
Justin Fields is not a viable starting quarterback in the NFL
Until you have [Justin Fields] on your team, you can't fully, in theory, he's got everything. But then you watch him and you're like, okay, there's something. It's just, it's just not there the way it needs to be for a starter in the NFL.
Mike Elco is an unbelievable coach and a perfect fit for the Texas A&M job
Texas A&M [is one of the best teams]... they won the press conference with Jimbo Fisher, and then they got a guy, Mike Elco, whoever's like, oh, what dude? Yeah. Okay. He's an unbelievable coach. Not only that, he's a great fit at Texas A&M and understands it.
If South Florida wins out, they absolutely deserve to be in the College Football Playoff.
If South Florida runs the table... I also understand that South Florida is deserved to go in. Because they went and they beat Florida, you know, in the swamp. So that, you know, that's a, that's a big, big time win.
Ohio State is significantly better than every other team in college football
I still think Ohio State is that much better than everyone else. And we'll find out though, Indiana and Ohio State feel like they're on a collision course.
You can be critical of a coach and still root for them to succeed once it's decided they are staying.
I feel like people just need to fan how you want to fan... being critical of things not working is what you should do... now that they're [Luke Fickell] not [gone], I am like, I'm going to root my ass off for both guys to succeed. I do not want them to fail.
The Eagles defense is nasty and Jalen Phillips was the missing piece to make them elite again
I think the Eagles defense is nasty... Jalen Phillips was a monster and they feel like they're rounding into that type of form again.
The Packers' offense is completely broken right now.
Something's wrong, something's broken. They're in the Bills category of broken right now... their offense feels broken. It definitely feels like there's something going on that they got to like they gotta figure it out before it's too late.
Now is the time to buy stock in the 49ers looking at their upcoming schedule.
If you were trying to buy stock in something, there might be a spot where you could buy some stock in the Niners. 'cause they might, there's a chance the Niners could rip off some wins here in the next few games.
I am betting everything on Notre Dame because of Pat Narduzzi's weird press conference comments.
Pat Narduzzi, the coach of Pitt... had one of the weirdest answers to a press conference question I think I've ever seen... I wanna just bet everything on Notre Dame. They are not going to cover the spread against Notre Dame.
I think I could give Victor Wembanyama problems just by bodying him and getting physical.
I think I could probably give him a problem just bodying him a little bit. A little bit more weight than him. Back him down... If I just threw a couple bows on him, he probably wouldn't wanna come in the paint.
Jonathan Taylor is the best running back in the NFL
This [game] had Jonathan Taylor remind everyone that he is the best running back in the NFL. I know that I've shifted around, I think I said Jahmyr Gibbs a few weeks ago. Jonathan Taylor just keeps reminding everyone, 'Hey, it's actually me.'
Alec Pierce is one of the best deep-threat wide receivers in the NFL
Alec Pierce is awesome. Yeah. I love him as a deep threat... He's one of the best deep threat wide receivers in the league.
The Colts are the official AFC South champions
Let us be the first to say that the a FC South champs. Congratulations to the Colts. Congratulations.
The Chicago area will get three inches of snow that will be gone by Wednesday morning
I'll predict right now... I think we're gonna get three inches and it's gonna be gone by Wednesday morning.
The Panthers should never be favored in an NFL game ever again
We should just never, ever let the Panthers be favorites ever again... Probably makes anyone, never make 'em the favorite ever again.
The Buffalo Bills are officially broken
The bills are the bills. Okay. Because they have now dropped three of their last five games... The bills are broken. It was one of those games.
Devon Achane is faster than everyone else in the NFL
Devon Achane is also still very fast and very, very good. He had 225 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. He's the man. Yeah. You just forget every now and then, like 'Oh yeah. That guy is so much faster than everyone.'
Caleb Williams has the clutch gene
Caleb Williams has that clutch gene where they're down 10 with six minutes left. He goes on a 91 yard drive and then goes on a 53 yard drive both touchdowns. And it's like, yeah, he, when the, when the lights get bright and the back is against the wall, he comes up with big plays.
The Los Angeles Rams are the best team in the NFC
After watching everyone play, I, I think the Rams might be the best. They're number one in the NFC. Yeah.
The Ravens are fully back
Ravens 27, Vikings 19. Ravens are back, fully back. Fully, fully back, fully back... Their defense, it really is their defense. They fixed it.
Al Michaels' broadcasting mood is determined by the length of his flight to the stadium
My theory too on Al is that it just depends on how long of a flight he had to take. So when he's like at a Charger's vi the Charger's playing the Vikings, which was a blowout, he was pretty happy tonight... If he has to call next week Jets, patriots, we're gonna get a surly surly al Michaels 'cause he is gotta go cross country. He's gonna be pissed off.
The Jaguars control their own destiny in the AFC South if they beat the Colts twice
The Jaguars actually control their own destiny. If they could somehow beat the Colts twice, they will win the a FC South. I don't, I don't, I don't think the Jaguars are better than the cults. I just want that on the record. No, I'm just saying if you're looking for value, the cults have a difficult schedule and the Jaguars have a easier schedule and they play twice.
Feral cats are a significantly larger threat to bird populations than wind turbines
Cats are responsible for an estimated 365 million to 2.4 billion bird deaths per year in the US alone. And then wind turbines are responsible for an estimated 140,000 to 680,000 bird deaths annually... Feral cats are a problem. That's my, that's, that's the conclusion I came up with.
The Seahawks are legitimate Super Bowl contenders
The Seahawks are really fucking good. They're Super Bowl contenders.
Kyler Murray made the correct financial decision choosing the NFL over MLB
I'll say that. Even if [Kyler Murray] never is a good starting quarterback in the NFL and never gets another bonafide shot, he made the correct choice because he's made $170 million.
Jerry Jones is the biggest loser of the NFL trade deadline
Jerry Jones is the big loser in all of this because he traded for a guy [Quinnen Williams] in on a season that things aren't going well. And then also watched Micah Parsons... it feels like Jerry Jones should have gotten more from Micah Parsons is my big point.
Notre Dame should not be ranked ahead of Texas or Oklahoma in the CFP rankings
I do think that the Oklahoma and Notre Dame Texas rankings makes no sense... Notre Dame's best win is against USC and their losses are Texas A&M and Miami... Texas's best win is Oklahoma and Vanderbilt... Oklahoma has also two ranked wins Michigan and Tennessee. Their losses against Ole Miss and Texas... it just doesn't make sense to me why Notre Dame is ahead of those two teams.
The Green Bay Packers are a dangerous team because they are 'desperate' off a bad loss
If you're playing the Packers next, you gotta watch out because he's [LaFleur] gonna fix this and they're gonna come out with their hair on fire... You don't want to play the Packers against the Packers off a loss.
The Blue Jays' World Series loss is the worst loss of all time
I think that might be the worst loss of all time for the Blue Jays... the slow burn of the loss where if you're a Falcons fan and you're looking at 28 to three... those happen all in one game. This was 10 days where it just, and you had 3-2 going back home. It's just insane.
The New Orleans Pelicans are 'soft quitting' the season to relocate
The Pelicans are just like soft quitting and gonna probably be in like relocate... they have no promotional calendar for the season... no bobbleheads... they're just soft quitting the Pelicans.
The Bears' culture has shifted under Ben Johnson; they finally win games they used to lose
The Bears never win that game. And they, something is different with Ben Johnson. ... more than anything it's Ben Johnson because that's a game The Bears would lose. The Bears would quit in a, in a dire situation. And they just kept on, they got, got off the mat. ... it really just comes down to like, the culture has shifted with Ben Johnson where the, the team looks like they're not gonna give up in situations where they would've given up in the past.
The Steelers are a dangerous team if Aaron Rodgers has a top-tier defense behind him
The Steelers offense is not fixed in any way. ... But if Aaron Rodgers, if he has a really good defense, that is a dangerous team. So you just gotta still be a really good defense.
Bo Nix is a better version of Tim Tebow
Is Bo Nix just a better version of Tim Tebow? ... I'm saying Tim Tebow for the Broncos was awesome. Tebow time was incredible. I'm saying better version.
Rico Dowdle is the Panthers' best offensive player and needs a heavy workload
Rico Dowdle is by far their best offensive player and they need to give him the ball a lot. And they did. 25 carries, 130 yards, two touchdowns. ... Just, just let Rico loose because the passing attack for the Panthers is not— Bryce Young had a Josh Rosen stat line today.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL right now
The Seahawks, they're a really good team. ... Jaxon Smith-Njigba is, like, we've already said it, one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. ... He was awesome again tonight.
An NFC team will need at least 10 wins to make the playoffs this year
I think especially because the NFC, I think you're gonna have to have 10 wins to make the playoffs. It doesn't feel like nine wins right now. The Bears and the Panthers are the eight and nine and they both have five wins.
The Bengals should trade Trey Hendrickson
I don't know who's— Trey Hendrickson is hurt, but not— and the Bengals aren't gonna trade him, but they should.
Matthew Stafford will win the NFL MVP this season
Matthew Stafford. MVP. Hmm. Just think about it. ... Plus 550. I, that's an interesting one. He's, he's never won an MVP. You could get the narrative going about him never winning an MVP and being a Hall of Fame quarterback. ... Matthew Stafford going back to Georgia to win the MVP. That's a big storyline.
The Dodgers/Blue Jays 2025 World Series was one of the greatest ever
That was one of the greatest World series, like start to finish. ... every game had its own like little unique personality to it and was crazy. It, it was nuts.
Yamamoto is the first pitcher to win 3 World Series games since Randy Johnson in 2001
Yamamoto is not human. ... Denny [Then he] comes back and pitches game six and then he comes back and wins game seven. It's insane. ... Randy Johnson in 2001, [was the last to do it].
Mark Walter might be the best owner in all of sports
This guy might be the best owner in all of sports because afterwards... Yamamoto was a good bet because of his age... He trusts the evaluations... I just tell them, yes. That's what an owner should do. He has really smart baseball people and he just says yes.
ESPN and Disney are screwing over sports fans in their feud with YouTube TV
ESPN is fucking everyone because ESPN's got a new app... they're screwing over everyone who has cut the cord... and it's just fucked up. It's fucked up. They're just screwing over the consumer. The people who just wanna watch sports. ... stop with this bullshit where everyone is trying to squeeze each other out for an extra dollar.

Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa should both be fired after the Dolphins' horrific loss
And Mike McDaniel you fired... it looked bad... they're just the most bad vibes team out there. The Dolphins have to just fire everyone. Start fresh... McDaniel will probably be fired and Tua will probably be fired... paid and fired.
I am officially declaring the Ravens as the winners of the AFC North
The Ravens are, they're gonna win the AFC North. We should congratulate them. They're gonna win the AFC North... THE RAVENS ARE BACK. They're gonna win it. Even if they split the Steelers, they'll beat the Browns and Bengals twice. They're gonna be fine.
The 18-inning game took more out of the Dodgers than the Blue Jays due to their age
They were saying that the 18 inning game took more out of the Dodgers than the Blue Jays because the Dodgers are considerably older of a team.
The Bears vs. Bengals game is a 'must look good' game for the Chicago offense
This is a must look good on offense game. The Bears offense has not, has been up and down this year... If you can't light up the Bengals defense, then I'm gonna start having some doubts creep in.
Jordan Love is on a trajectory to be an all-time great based on his first 40 starts
Jordan Love is one of three NFL quarterbacks to post in his first 40 career starts, 70 plus passing touchdowns, 25 or fewer interceptions. The other two quarterbacks are Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Although he is really good and it's bad, I think there's a chance he plays well into his forties.
