All Takes
Odell Beckham Jr. is not being traded to the Vikings
Odell was not getting traded to the [Vikings]... I don't want to tell anybody that without being a hundred percent right because that's the worst thing you could ever do.
Rob Gronkowski is not close to being in game shape or returning to the NFL
I don't think he act look when we were training at Unbreakable... he's waste are than he ever has been right? So we're even talking about what it would take for him to come back and he was never like hi. I need a new approach new program... he's not even close to how it was betrayed.
The Patriots will not trade Rob Gronkowski to the Buccaneers just to help Tom Brady
Also I don't see him going to the Bucks... the Patriots [Belichick] has control, right? So why would they just be like, 'Oh, yeah sure.' They would trade him because they could get something for him, but they're not going to just send him to go help the guy who left them.
The NFL will do whatever they can to play the season, even without fans
I think they're going to do whatever they can. Even if it's, we already saw that they're saying without fans in the stands forever. I think that without a doubt they're going to look at [playing].
Tom Brady should be signed by the Patriots for $30-31 million
I think you want to be paid content up there 30 31 and it's right. I know I think it's about time. You don't want money pays for what? He's already done though, and guys that's putting but I don't think for the next three years two years at least you still got a top-10 quarterback by it's the one guy who doesn't operate like that Belichick is the one coach... but he's you should absolutely sign them to that.
There is a 50% chance Tom Brady stays with the Patriots
I am 50 percent chance he stayed... I don't know yet... I don't know yet. Just throw it out. No, I'm not gonna do that.
Dak Prescott will not hit free agency
Do you think Jack's [Dak's] gonna hit free agency? No, come on. You're okay. No, no chance.
Philip Rivers will likely sign with the Colts
Philip Rivers. Yep, it's Phil Berger is going to get started donating possible with the Colts like that.
David Blaine is the alpha in a room full of action stars
The alpha where yes... David Blaine obviously David Blaine is the alpha... it helped the Cheetos [Pacino] going. I gotta go to my therapist... This was like the most surreal shit I've ever done in my life.
Instagram and social media are creating a mental health crisis because people compare their real lives to others' highlights
There's so much hate on social media. People are... I think the soul is not used to it. People then comparing themselves to everyone's highlights and Instagram. Instagram ain't the real world.
The Giants don't operate with urgency; Gettleman isn't on the hot seat despite the Daniel Jones pick
No, because the Giants don't operate that way. Giants have more patience in the GM than any team... GMs. Their GM has always made the picks.
The Giants are bad at collecting accurate intel on other teams' draft boards
The Daniel Jones thing, look, I think the Giants don't do a good job of finding out accurate information that other teams can do... When he [Gettleman] talked about the Redskins and the Broncos, that's not true... I think they could have waited past six [to draft Daniel Jones].
None of the 2019 quarterback prospects except Kyler Murray would have been first-rounders in the 2018 draft
And if you put... Any of those guys in last year's draft, I don't think any of them except Kyler would have been a first-round pick.
Baker Mayfield is a 'gangster' who will control the Browns' big personalities
Baker Mayfield is a gangster. He's not going to handle people trying to, me, me, me, I want the ball. He's going to put it where it needs to go, and he's going to control that locker room. Baker's different, man. He's special.
Rob Gronkowski might return to the NFL in November once the 'training wheels' of retirement come off
I think Gronk, once the training wheels come off, at one point I could see him go, you know what? We're close. I need three games. Like November. Why not?
The NFL should fire all current referees and replace them with Special Ops combat veterans
The nfl to fix its refereeing problem they should just fire all the refs and hire nothing but special ops... Special ops. And teach them how to officiate football games. Is that the reaction time for special ops guys are going to be better than these guys... You put them there together as a team... Plus, they got, you know, bullets are flying. These guys react better.
You have to be "fucked up" to be truly great at anything
You've got to be fucked up to be in this sport. Okay? We're different. Everybody in this sport's different. And, you know, same with football players. You've got to be fucked up to play in the NFL. You've got to be fucked up to be great at anything. You can't be kind of normal and great.
It is better to be the last reporter to break a story and be right than to be the first and be wrong 10% of the time
I'd rather be last and right and everything than first, in a bunch, and wrong 10% of the time. It's just, especially nowadays with people wanting attention and clickbait and all that stuff.
The 17-year longevity of the Brady-Belichick relationship is more impressive than the reported friction between them
Brady and Belichick should do a TED Talk on marriage counseling because what relationship lasts 17 years without hearing a thing? I looked at it totally the other way.
I possess the only existing copy of the Spygate video
The biggest story I ever had was the Spygate video... They destroyed what they thought was everything, and then I have the one remaining one. We aired it on Fox. It was my second week in studio at Fox... I have the only copy in existence.
Mike Vrabel is the NFL coach who would win in a street fight against any other coach
Who do you think could just do the most damage as a coach right now off the street? Put them in a ring together... Vrabel. I would say Vrabel, though. Vrabel's off.
Modern NFL players don't work as hard as the Drew Brees and Tom Brady generation
The way guys come into this league now, they don't work. They don't understand what hard work is the way guys like that [Brees and Brady] did. So it's getting easier for them.
The 2017 Rams are a legitimate threat and sleeper pick
The team that I've been hot on, even before this happened, before the season again, was the Rams. I said before the season, I think there'll be at least a 500 team with Sean McVay in there and Wade Phillips.
The Giants failed by buying 'shiny toys' and ignoring their offensive line
The disappointment has got to be the Giants... It's when you go out and you get yourself nice, shiny toys, but you don't really make sure your carburetor's working... They went out and they got Ingram and Marshall, but they didn't do anything to upgrade their offensive line.
Sean McVay has the same rare 'command of the room' as an early Mike Tomlin
Sean McVay has that as well. He is like, he has a rare ability to command the room, get a player's face, but not have the player look at him like, man, who are you? ... It's a kind of a rare thing, kind of like an early Mike Tomlin.
The Seahawks will have to trade for offensive line help to save their season
I think in this case, though, they need some help on the offensive line. They're going to have to do something. I think that as masterful as Tom Cable has been over the last couple of years, I still think somehow, some way, they've got to pull something off and bolster that offensive line because it doesn't matter what weapons [Wilson] has.
Andrew Luck will return from injury by Week 5 or 6
Right now, I think I said in the start of the season, probably by week six. What is this, three? So, yeah, I would say five or six.
I would definitely win a 3-on-1 fight against Siciliano, Rapoport, and Schefter
Take me down? Or, like, what do you mean? Murder you. Yeah... No. Absolutely not. I don't know what he's smoking... I am being cocky. I would still kill him.
Real life in the NFL is way more wild than the show 'Ballers'
Oh, no. Are you kidding me? Real life is way worse than that. In fact, half the stuff you know went down in the NFL. If I went to the producers of Ballers and said, hey, man, I got a great storyline for you. If this actually happened, they'd say, Glaze, are you out of your damn mind? Nobody would ever believe that.
Kyle Long is the strongest and most violent athlete I have ever trained
That is the strongest, most violent individual who's ever put his hands on me in my entire life. And that includes the Chuck Liddells and the Dan Andersons and the Randy Coutures. I mean, it's not even close, dude.
Former NFL linebacker James Anderson could clean out the UFC heavyweight division
James Anderson... I've been actually trying to convince to fight. ... This dude could fight. He really could. He is so athletic and violent, and he understands it. And he's not a big name, but he would clean out the heavyweight division.
The Rock outworks everyone and is the epitome of who you want to be
He is the epitome of what you want to be. He outworks everybody. You don't just get lucky. You don't just be in the right place at the right time. You outwork everybody else to make sure you are in the right place at the right time. And he epitomizes that.
The Spygate tape contains footage of the cameraman creeping on cheerleaders
The starter tape is great because the guy is focusing in on women in the stands. ... Total creeper. He's focusing on, like, women in the stands, and he's focusing it on the Jet cheerleaders. And he's a totally creeper. And then all of a sudden, boom, goes to Jets coaches.
