Taylor Swift should have dated someone on the Panthers to learn that life isn't that easy

I don't wanna say anything negative about Taylor Swift, but that that just, it it, it's unfair that Taylor Swift was basically introduced to the NFL this year. And she's already in the Super Bowl... she should have dated someone on like the Panthers. Yeah. Go to Bank of America Stadium Week 16. That's a fact. I wanna see David Tepper pouring a drink on her.

The Jim Harbaugh hiring won't make the Chargers winners for years

None of the Chargers. AFC West, Harbaugh. I just don't see it happening. It's like, it's like buying a dilapidated Victorian home. It's like not gonna be inhabitable for years.

The 49ers are the most boring team in the NFL

Why do the 49ers bore me? So why are they so boring? That no sense... it's just like, what do you want like 20 points from all your player starters every week? Is that what you want? I don't know. I'm so bored... there's a boredom that happens with the 49ers.

The Rams are one of the most fun teams to watch because Matthew Stafford is so volatile

Oh, I love the Rams. You know why? Because they don't score 20 points every week. They like sometimes score, like sometimes Stafford is like 40 points and then some weeks, nothing. It's so fun.

Don't draft a single player from the NFC South in fantasy football next season

The AFC will be an offensive juggernaut because everyone is chasing Patrick Mahomes

I think that the AFC is going to be an offensive juggernaut. And I think that really comes from Patrick Mahomes and everyone chasing him.

We're then gonna reach for in round three... for Justin Fields. I have a feeling he's gonna be the Jalen Hurts of this season. We have to ensure that we get him.

Jonathan Taylor will not play at all this season

I would not [draft Jonathan Taylor]. I don't think he's gonna play this season at all. I don't think he's gonna play.

Michael Pittman is an under-the-radar wide receiver one

Michael Pittman. We think he's gonna have a good season. He's a, he's under the radar wide receiver one. And I think Anthony Richardson's a good quarterback.

Tony Pollard will have an incredible year and is worth a second-round pick

Tony Pollard is gonna have an incredible year. He, he might be round two for us if he's up there... I will take Tony Pollard over Joe Mixon.

I will only draft running quarterbacks for the rest of my life

Mike White has a four-interception game coming soon

The only thing I'm worried about was that four pick game last season. It's like, you know, that's there somewhere. You know what I'm saying? You know, it's almost like herpes, you know... You know there's a four pick game coming up with Mike White. We just hope it's not the weekend.

The Denver Broncos will be an offensive powerhouse in 2022

I believe the Broncos are going to have a pretty epic season. I think it's going to be an offensive powerhouse. I also have a theory about the Broncos because the air is thin up there, they just air it out... and Wilson is just throwing it in the air and the ball travels farther.

Kirk Cousins is poised for a massive season under Kevin O'Connell

I know we have Joe Burrow. I know... Kirk Cousins... You talk a lot about Cousins having a good season and talking about Kevin O'Connell by the way he's being coached by an O'Connell. I think if you, if you have like a seventh pick and he's up there. Yeah. You have to take [him].

The Rams have zero real fans and I will not draft any Rams players

No Rams, no Rams at all. Not one... I live in Los Angeles. I've lived here for over two decades and I have never met a Rams fan ever until about seven months ago. And for example, my agent... he just wants to talk about the Rams with me now. But he wants to talk about it in like an annoying way... It's a town of bandwagons. It just drives me crazy.

San Francisco 49ers fans are the scariest in the NFL

I'm gonna go as far as to say, as the Niners fans are maybe the scariest fans... I work with a gentleman who is a 49ers fan and every Monday morning he's a large man... heavily tattooed. And he just, just every Monday morning he gets in my face... Niners man. So they're a little scary they're fans.

Jalen Hurts is the only player worth drafting from the NFC East

Only Jalen Hurts. No one else in the NFC East, only Jalen... I think he's going to have a good season. Drafted before Joe Burrow, you believe that?

Aidan Hutchinson's entire family is the most impressive and supportive in sports

I would fuck that entire family. They're amazing. They are amazing. They're so supportive. They watch the games. They, they birth and raise NFL players and beauty queens and sign me up. Yeah. Up.

The Jags are better. The Jags are back. I like the Jags again. I love Etienne. I think he comes at a bargain. I love Trevor Lawrence and my sleeper this season: Evan Engram.

Tony Romo is a great broadcaster because he has broad marketing crossover that appeals even to non-fans

I think he does a great job. I really do. I'll tell you who loves Tony Romo: my wife. If I have to sit down with my wife, I only get about two quarters of football a weekend. And if Tony Romo is calling it, my wife will actually come into the room and like pay attention to it. I think from a marketing standpoint, I think he crosses over.

It is detrimental to your soul to root only for the Jets

I'm a Jets fan and it's, it's just impossible to only root for the Jets. It's not a possibility cause there's no, listen... it would be detrimental to your entire mindset to your person. If you just sat down and watched two quarters a day, that sounds like a punishment.

Tom Brady should have admitted he got lucky on the Tuck Rule in the 30 for 30

I was watching over her shoulder and Tom Brady... he's sitting on a couch with Charles Woodson. And they actually pull a football out and you can see they're talking about the Tuck Rule... why wouldn't he just say, 'Hey Charles, you know what? You're right. It was a crap call, man. It was, I'm not sure that we deserve that.' Give the satisfaction to someone else.

Christian McCaffrey and the Carolina Panthers are dead to me in Fantasy Football

The Cowboys are depressing to watch and need to 'sage the place' to fix their vibes

Chargers fans are the 'Yacht Rock' of NFL fanbases

Chargers fans are like the yacht rock of fans. You go to that stadium? No one's in like boots, like ready to fight. No, one's like, it's like, everyone's in flip-flops everyone's high...

It's smooth.

I am officially never drafting a Cleveland Brown again

I actually, I broke up with the Browns I'm will no longer be drafting Browns. I understand that [they have a talented roster]. And listen, you're going to find out with a lot of my tics.

I am never drafting a New York Jets player again (with very few exceptions)

I will always draft the Ravens defense in fantasy regardless of the round

I have to have the Baltimore. I have to have the Ravens defense teams, like no matter where they are... you gotta have the Ravens.

Never draft a Vikings running back in fantasy football

I can't look at a Viking's running game and I know that's like crazy because they have superstars on that team. ... I didn't know what switching your children was until I heard a running back from that team talk about it... it really shook me and I can't look at it.

Never draft a Bears kicker

I will say this never draft the bears, kicker ever. As long as you live ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, ever. It's the moose. It's what will ruin a team. It will bring down, it will bring down family. It will bring down dynasties.

I must have at least three Cleveland Browns players on my fantasy team every season

I only draft Browns players on my team... It's just because last the last time I won fantasy football, I had Braylon Edwards and Derek Anderson as a one-two punch... So now I have to have that a minimum three Browns on my fantasy football team every season and I have not won since that season.

Austin Hooper is definitely going to be my fantasy tight end this year, even if I have to draft him in the second round

[Austin Hooper] is definitely gonna be my tight end and I'm gonna do something not so smart where I pick him in like the second round or something. That's how weird it was.

I'm married to a former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Covergirl Rebecca Romijn... I have no right. I have no money. I have no real status in society...

I refuse to draft any Dallas Cowboys wide receivers
