The Chiefs will beat the Eagles 34-24 in Super Bowl 59

I am leaning towards 34 24. Okay. Leaning. Okay... but that's, you know, write that in pencil. No, not in pen.

The Super Bowl hasn't happened yet at the time of the episode.

I was '99 percent correct' about predicting a top-two pick Heisman winner making the Super Bowl

If I said in June of 2028 and asteroid is gonna hit Peru... And then in June of 2028 and asteroid hit Uruguay. Am I more right or than the people who said it would never happen? If in August I say for the first time in NFL history, a rookie's going to be playing to go to the Super Bowl and make the Super Bowl and that rookie is gonna be a Heisman Trophy winner. And that rookie's gonna be a top two pick. And that rookie's going to have a connection to Cliff Kingsbury. And then this all happens [with Jayden Daniels] and everyone's like, oh, you're an idiot. You said Caleb Williams was gonna make the Super Bowl. And I'm like, I basically called it.

He predicted Caleb Williams would do it; Jayden Daniels (another top 2 pick/Heisman winner coached by Kliff Kingsbury) actually led his team to the NFC Championship. He was literally wrong but remarkably close on the archetype.

Josh Allen will eventually win a Super Bowl

I think [Josh Allen] will win a Super Bowl eventually, but we're, we're, the, somebody is gonna be left without a chair... I would worry about for Josh is if, because I think he'll beat the Chiefs in the playoffs one time. He's too good.

Josh Allen has not won a Super Bowl yet.

Lamar Jackson is the 'Aaron Judge' of the NFL

Lamar, everybody gets so mad at me Lamar's Aaron Judge... which is on a day in, day out basis in the regular season, you're like, is this the best player in the sport or certainly in the very, you know, top two or three and then come the playoffs. It's like, man, every time... every regular season it's Lamar's the best player in the league. And every Playoffs it's like, you know why they lost, they put the ball in Lamar's hands too much.

Lamar Jackson has a high regular season win percentage and multiple MVPs, but a poor postseason record (2-5 as of this episode).

Patrick Mahomes is the best player ever, but Tom Brady is still the Greatest of All Time

I already think [Mahomes] is the best player ever, but he's not the greatest quarterback of all time... Brady gets to be called the Goat. I think that if they pull off the three-peat you can, and someone wants to say he's now the greatest of all time. It's at least an allowed opinion... if they don't do the Threepeat, he probably has to get to six [Super Bowls].

This is a subjective debate based on how one weighs peak performance versus career longevity and accolades.

Kevin Durant's social media sensitivity shows he is not at peace with his move to the Warriors

If people bring up him [Kevin Durant] going to the Warriors, he clearly is not at peace with that decision, even though it has worked out better than even he could have expected... It is because you're Kevin Durant, you're not supposed to respond to trolls in your mentions.

KD has continued to be highly active and sensitive to critics on social media for years, supporting the idea of a lack of peace with his narrative.

Losing the 2011 Finals to the Mavericks was ultimately good for LeBron James's legacy

The best thing that happened to LeBron, even though the way they lost was not great, the best thing that happened to LeBron was that Miami team losing to Dallas. Because it validated those other two titles. It made it seem hard... The fact that they had real adversity made the rest of the championships feel validated to the public.

This is a matter of historical narrative framing.

LeBron James is objectively the greatest basketball player ever

Wouldn't change the fact that he's [LeBron James] objectively and obviously the greatest basketball player ever.

The GOAT debate is inherently subjective.

The 2018-19 Lakers will be a 4 or 5 seed in the Western Conference

The Lakers shouldn't be very good this year, right? Yeah, I think probably like the four or five seed. Yeah, they'll finish somewhere around there.

The Lakers finished 37-45, 10th in the West, and missed the playoffs entirely.

The Warriors would have been a better team if they never added Kevin Durant

The concern I had with the Warriors... they kept their top three players, but other than that, they made major moves. They got rid of rim protection... for a guy that I thought was redundant... throughout the regular season, it was looking correct. Now, in the playoffs, it looks idiotic, and I got to own that.

The Warriors won the 2017 championship with a 16-1 playoff record, making the claim that they were 'better off without him' factually dubious.

Draymond Green is a poor man's LeBron James

Draymond is like a poor man's LeBron. Because Draymond is... a guy that can guard all five spots. A guy that can bring the ball up the court.

A stylistic comparison that is subjective but common in sports analysis.

LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time

I think LeBron's the greatest player ever. You disagree with that, and we can have that discussion as well if you'd like.

The GOAT debate is inherently subjective.
