All Takes
The Colts are the best team in football right now
The Colts who are the best team in football... Their offense is absolutely electric. They are like, they're just well-rounded all the way through.
The Broncos will beat the Texans because of their defensive front matching up against Houston's line
I think the Broncos are gonna win this game... I'm going off the same reasoning I had last week... when they [Texans] play pass rushes that are good, they struggle. Broncos are one of them. I'm gonna take the Broncos defense.
Shohei Ohtani might be the best athlete we will ever see in any sport
[Shohei Ohtani] is getting into the territory of one, he's somehow underpaid. Two, he might be the best athlete we ever watch, play any sport. It's getting into the Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, these territories where in 50 years you could see yourself saying, remember when we got to watch Shohei Ohtani.
Dodger Stadium has a very cool vintage 1970s aura
I don't know, I was seeing some people say that there's a lack of aura in Los Angeles... at least just from personal experience, we went to that stadium. That stadium has Aura. Yeah. That stadium is cool as fuck. It's the worst place to get in and out of. But when you're in there, it has like a very cool vintage seventies type vibe.
Terry McLaurin might be having financial problems because of a house lien
Did you guys see that there was a report that Terry McLaurin had a lien out on his house? ... I would say that there might be more to this story that's coming out. If you give 23 year olds $10 million, guess what? They're probably not gonna have $10 million when they're 30.
The Colts are currently the best team in football
The Colts are the best team in football right now. The Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. Those two things can exist.
TV networks should force in-house umpires to wear full gear during broadcasts
I have a dumb sports rule for you guys... our friends of Fox were going to the in-house umpire Mark Carlson. He was wearing a suit and tie. I think the in-house umpire should have to wear a full chest protector and mask because baseball's the one sport where managers wear full uniforms. Why aren't we doing that?
I am officially endorsing Rob Kardashian
I'm officially endorsing Rob. I'm officially endorsing Rob. [He's a] good guy. People forget about Rob and the time that he had to fly back from France because his suit didn't fit.
Ohio State is currently a super team that is so good it's almost boring
Ohio State... they're so good. They're boring. Yeah. And their schedule's not helping. 'cause the teams that were supposed to be good on their schedule have kind of stunk... they're just loaded top to bottom.
Marcus Freeman has already signed a secret contract extension with Notre Dame
I think Marcus Freeman already signed his new contract. I'm saying it right now. I think Marcus Freeman will have his new contract announced at the end of the season, but he's already signed it.
Aaron Glenn is an analytically sound 'math guy' head coach
Aaron Glenn first win as an NFL head coach also Math guy... he showed a couple games that he's a math guy. Yeah. The Bucks game. He went for two... He's an analytically sound, but it worked. He was down 14, late in the game in the fourth quarter. Scored a touchdown, went for two, then scored again. Won the game in regulation with an extra point certified math guy.
Caleb Williams lacks the necessary 'feel' for the game and panics under pressure
My biggest thing with [Caleb Williams] right now is that the feel for the game feels to be lacking. And it feels like there's a panic that's like, he doesn't see or feel the game. And it comes out when you see there was two really bad, intentional grounding penalties... the command of a game, the great quarterbacks, you see it, it's almost like a intuition where they're in control at all times. He just hasn't gotten that command down.
The Bears are not a good team yet; they have only graduated from being a bad team
Have I at all said that the Bears were a good team? I have not. I said they were working towards being a good team. They have graduated from being a bad team, but I've never called them a good team. And today is why, because I don't think they're a good team yet.
I have complete faith in Ben Johnson to determine if Caleb Williams is the right quarterback for the Bears
The calmness that I have is all because of Ben Johnson. I believe in Ben Johnson. That's where the calmness comes from. I believe in whatever Ben Johnson's plan is... He will decide if [Caleb Williams] is his guy or not.
Dylan Gabriel is not the answer at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns
[Dylan Gabriel] is terrible. [Dylan Gabriel] is so bad. I don't know. He can't be the answer. I don't think so.
I am done taking the Falcons seriously as a team
I'm done with the Falcons hashtag done. I can't take them as serious team after this game. I'm sorry. I wanted to believe in them this year... you can't lose by 34 10 to the Miami Dolphins who are reeling... and then they come into your house and just bully you.
The Cowboys should go for it on every fourth down because their defense is too bad to be on the field
The Cowboys defense is just so, so bad. I feel like [Brian Schottenheimer's] got to look in the mirror and say, 'Hey, our defense is so bad. Fuck it. We're gonna go for it on every fourth down.' Because... why would you ever put your defense back on the field? You have to just go for it on every fourth down and just become that team.
The Broncos are genuine AFC Championship contenders if Patrick Surtain II stays healthy
I think the Broncos are every bit of a AFC champion contender in my mind. If their defense, especially [Patrick Surtain II] is healthy.
The Colts are currently the best team in the NFL
The Colts are just the best team in the NFL. I don't really know what else to say. They are the best team in the NFL... it finally was like, you know what, this is not, this is not just a hot start. They're just really fucking good.
Jonathan Taylor should be in the NFL MVP discussion
Jonathan Taylor... should be the MVP... in the discussion at least. He's got 14 touchdowns through eight games. That's, that was the LT 2006 season when it was just every single Sunday.
Tucker Kraft is the best tight end in the NFL
Tucker Kraft best tight end in the NFL. I would say let's just, let's just get fucking reckless. That was yeah. Was the last thing we watched and yeah. Did he have 143 yards and two touchdowns and looked absolutely explosive and unguardable? Why not just fucking say it and then next week Sam LaPorta has a great game? No.
I would be fine with Brian Kelly coaching the Wisconsin Badgers
Have, have you thought about a world where Brian Kelly is the coach of the Wisconsin Badgers? I'd be fine with it. He'd, he'd make us better than what we are right now. He, he gets good results... I am so sick of watching my team suck every Saturday that I will, I will have the guy that I probably hate most of any coach, coach my alma mater.
Lincoln Riley might be fired or leave USC soon
USC... I think Lincoln Riley might be out. I think there's guys that might leave the places they want to be, even though they're not doing bad. I think it's gonna be basically full on musical chairs.
I feel bad for Carson Wentz for the first time
PFT I did not think this was possible, but after watching Thursday night football, I can officially say I feel bad for Carson. It was a pretty depressing watch for Carson Wentz... I didn't think I could feel those feelings for Carson Wentz tonight watching him in pain, just getting sacked over and over.
The Vikings are in a bad spot because they have the hardest remaining schedule after starting with the easiest.
The Vikings... have played the number one easiest schedule this year thus far. And they have the number one hardest schedule the rest of the season. So it feels like the Vikings could be in a bad spot.
The Chargers at 25/1 are a great value bet to win the Super Bowl
Do we wanna bet the Chargers to win the Super Bowl, knowing they probably won't, but the number's gonna go, we're gonna get good value... They're 25 to one. When they're healthy, they, when Joe Alt is back and their offensive line is healthy, there are still a very good football team.
I am changing my World Series prediction to Dodgers in six games.
Just from that alone, I'm changing my prediction Dodgers in six. Okay. Welcome to board. Yeah. Just added another game for the Blue Jays. We believe. We believe Toronto Jays. You're gonna get another game.
The Dolphins are running out the clock on Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa
It just seems like the Dolphins are running out the clock here on the season on Mike McDaniel on Tua... the Picks are happening whether you can see it or not. Maybe just try to do some blind plays.
The Ravens removing their ping pong tables means they will beat the Bears
The Ravens removed their ping pong tables... Harbaugh said that the vets did it. I have a hard and fast rule when a team removes a ping pong table from, I mean, that, that means they're ready to win... I'm going into this game thinking the Ravens might kill the Bears.
The Texans defense will win them the game against the 49ers
I like the Texans in this game. Not, obviously not because of their offense... I'm more gonna bet the Texans because their defense is the best unit on the field. And the 49ers Mac Jones looked good, but this is a different defense. This is a top defense.
George Springer is the most clutch postseason hitter of the last 15 years
George Springer does it again. Maybe the most clutch postseason hitter of the last, what, 15 years? Third all-time in postseason home runs now, which is pretty crazy.
Jahmyr Gibbs is the best running back in football
I have a take... Why are we never saying, and I'll fix this going forward, Jahmyr Gibbs is the best running back in football? Because I think he is. I think it is partially because his first two years he split a lot of carries with David Montgomery. Now it feels like they're like, alright, he is—that's one of the fastest I've ever seen someone on a football field.
Jackson Smith-Njigba is the best wide receiver in the NFL this year
That was my other hot take. Jahmyr Gibbs the best running back; Jackson Smith-Njigba is the best wide receiver this year. He's having the best year... I know that the answer would be Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson... but he's first in yards [and] he's tied for fifth in receptions.
I am officially sick of the Texans, Jaguars, Chargers, and Falcons
I have four teams that I put in the Texans category of, in theory I like them, but in actuality I'm sick of their shit. And it's the Texans, it's the Jaguars, it's the Chargers and the Falcons. Those four teams in theory, theoretically I like 'em, but then they play and I just get so frustrated watching them play.
Wisconsin Football is currently the worst program in Power Four football
Wisconsin football just because they're the worst team in college football, Power Four college football. It's an absolute joke what's happened to the program. They haven't scored a touchdown in two games. The culture's broken, the program's broken.
Wisconsin Football will be bad for at least the next five to seven years
I'm starting to think now they're gonna be bad for five to seven years minimum. And if they just keep going down this path, it's gonna be a decade. To the sunk cost fallacy of essentially saying, we made a mistake... let's throw more money at it.
Jeremiah Love will put up numbers similar to Ashton Jeanty and be a Heisman contender
I really want Jeremiah Love to get like almost identical to Ashton Jeanty's numbers... he's not gonna get to his numbers, but he does have a soft schedule at the end. And also Notre Dame... they're gonna run the table... they're a legit very, very good team now.
Trevor Lawrence is the most sackable quarterback in the NFL because his spin moves never work.
I think [Trevor Lawrence] is the most sackable quarterback we have... Trevor Lawrence I think is over for a hundred on spin moves that don't work. He like, he'll spin or try to sidestep and a guy will get one arm on him and he'll be sacked.
The Rams are officially Super Bowl contenders.
The Rams are for real, for real. They basically are in the, can we get everyone healthy for the playoffs? Can we be healthy when the playoffs come around? ... Matthew Stafford is still just as good as ever. ... Super Bowl contenders.
Jalen Hurts' motivational quotes sound like AI-generated fortune cookies and are early signs of him becoming like Russell Wilson.
Why does Jalen Hurts talk like he's a fortune cookie? ... He's an AI quote machine. ... I'm just wondering why he keeps handing me back a fortune cookie. ... these type of quotes are like some early, early signs of Russell Wilson. That's when you start seeing... uhoh is this Do we got a Russell Wilson in the locker room?
The Saints are the only truly bad team in the NFC.
I think the Saints are, I think we actually can say after today the Saints are the only really bad team in the NFC.
The Raiders' Week 7 loss was Andy Reid's first regular season shutout in 427 career games.
Fun fact, that was actually Andy Reid's first regular season shutout 427 career games coached. ... Thirty's an important number because the Chiefs had 31 first downs. The Raiders had three.
The Chiefs are definitely going to the Super Bowl and likely winning it again.
The Chiefs are so good. We said it a couple weeks ago. They're winning the Super Bowl, at least getting to the Super Bowl. I stand by that.
Betting on Ohio State to win the National Championship and the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl is a safe bet that every sports fan should make.
Ohio State to win the National championship and the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl. I think it's like 20 to one. ... It just feels like something that you should just, just do and forget about it. ... a safe [bet].
If the Cowboys beat the Broncos next week, they are on a path to be 6-3-1 heading into their game against the Eagles.
If the Cowboys can beat the Broncos next week, they would then be, what? Four, three and one. And they have very winnable games against the Cardinals and the Raiders coming up. That could be a very quick, if they can somehow beat the Broncos next week, we could look up and the Cowboys could be six, three and one going up going into a huge game against the Eagles.
The Broncos are the 'messiest bitches' in the NFL, but they are incredibly fun to watch.
The Broncos are the messiest bitches we got in the NFL. But they're fun. They're so fun. ... They'll fuck you crazy and then they'll, they'll freak out about a text message and, and get in a fight with you at a bar for the entire night and ruin your entire night. ... That's the Broncos.
Shohei Ohtani's three-home run and 10-strikeout game is the greatest individual performance in sports history.
I feel very comfortable saying that Shohei Ohtani hitting three home runs, pitching six shutout innings with 10 KS in an elimination game was the greatest single game performance I've ever seen a baseball player play. ... might have been the best game in the history of sports.
Baseball fans should blame their own cheap owners for not spending instead of being mad at the Dodgers.
We should be complaining about the Pirate's owner and the Red's owner and the, and the Rockies owner and all these owners that don't wanna spend a dollar. That's who should get the blame. Not the Dodgers. ... I'm done complaining about it. Blame your owner or not the Dodgers.
The Bengals will finish 10-7 if they beat the Jets and the Bears in their next two games
If they beat the Jets and the Bears... that would be five and four. They play the Patriots, Ravens, Bills, Ravens. Let's say they go one and three there... that would make 'em six and seven. Then they beat the Dolphins, Cardinals and Browns to finish the season. By my math, that's 10 and seven.
