I'm 'Falcons heavy' and taking the points (+6.5) against the Colts in Berlin

Gotta take the Falcons. Gotta take the Falcons. I'm Falcons heavy. Yeah. It's my play of the week actually. [The line is] Colts minus six and a half.

Leaving Jayden Daniels in a 31-point blowout was coaching malpractice by Dan Quinn

There's just no point to have your franchise quarterback in the game down 31. ... That's fucking dumb. ... To get him injured in the fourth quarter of a blowout, that seems like it would be something that in prime time, that an owner would have a serious problem with. ... Is this the guy to be the coach? That's a bad mistake by Dan Quinn.

Brock Purdy should have been put on long-term IR back in week 2 or 3

I think what it comes down to is that Brock Purdy should have been long-term IR, what was that week two, week three? ... Purdy was just like, no, I'm gonna try to play through this turf toe... He's a tough guy, but he probably shouldn't have done that.

Drake London is a top 5 wide receiver in the NFL right now

Since week four, I would put Drake London in my top five. ... If you were to get a guy for a game today, those are my top five: Jefferson, Jamar Chase, JSN, Puka Nacua, Drake London.

Aiden Hutchinson is a lock for NFL Comeback Player of the Year

I was looking at the Comeback Player of the Year stats. I love Aiden Hutchinson for that right now. I think he's like five to one. I think that's a good bet. I'm gonna bet that right now actually.

The Broncos and Texans will go under 39.5 points

I think that both these defenses are very, very good... I think the Broncos defense is gonna frustrate the absolute fuck out of the Texans defense. I'm taking the under in this game.

Brad Paisley is the Scott Foster of Major League Baseball because he is an 'extender' who sings the anthem before extra-inning games

I'm not a big Brad Paisley fan, but maybe I should be. He's the extender. He's like Scott Foster for Major League Baseball. [Every game he sings the national anthem before] went to extra innings. Game two in 2017 went 11, game three in 2018 went 18, game one in 2024 went 10, and this game went 18. Brad Paisley [sang] the national anthem before all those games.

The Chiefs are definitely going to win the Super Bowl

Mahomes is back to being full on Mahomes... they're just really, really good. They're, they're, they're gonna win the Super Bowl. They, they're not, and I wanna clarify... the Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. These are, these are facts.

If the Commanders lose this Sunday, the wheels are falling off the season

Sunday is where it has to start. I think Jayden [Daniels] is playing... I'd say that if we don't win this this weekend, the wheels are falling off. Yeah. And I, I did look at mock drafts today.

The Bengals need to blow the whole team up and start over

The Bengals... their defense is so historically bad that they lose games like this. I don't know what else the answer is. They gotta blow the whole thing up.

I am officially demanding a trade on behalf of AJ Brown

I side with AJ Brown. Yeah, I do. I do. It sounds like AJ his only crime. He's just too nice of a guy and he won't, he won't demand a trade. So I'll demand it for him. I'm demanding a trade on behalf of AJ Brown. Aj I will speak for you.

The Giants' season is now entirely about developing Jackson Dart

I think the Giants are in a position where this season is now fully about just developing Jackson Dart. I think that whatever magic they had... now it's just about making sure that [Jackson Dart] progresses, gets better, learns how to compete, and you can just put all your stock in that.

Mac Jones does not look like the long-term answer at quarterback for the 49ers

Mac Jones does not look like the long-term answer. I feel like the soft benching might have gotten a little harder. I think that bench got hard today.

The Colts' offense makes the most sense out of any offense in the NFL

The Colts' offense, I think it makes the most sense out of any offense. When I'm watching them, I'm like, this all makes sense. They use Jonathan Taylor correctly... it's the most sense-making offense in the NFL.

I am sticking with my take that the Steelers will win a playoff game this season

I'm not gonna overreact to anything. So I'm not, I'm not gonna back off of my take yet. Weird stuff happens. There's a lot of season left... I'm gonna trust old me.

Carson Wentz suffered a dislocated shoulder or labrum injury on TNF

I'm gonna speculate that [Carson Wentz] had some sort of dislocated shoulder issue. Maybe a labrum. Maybe rotator cuff. And it wasn't staying in place and it just kept getting popped out over and over and over again.

Tua Tagovailoa has 'low eyes' which causes him to miss linebackers

I feel like this is why in the draft you measure quarterbacks up to the eyeballs. You don't measure 'em to the top of the head. Tua's got a lot of wasted space in the forehead. Makes him a little bit taller on paper than he really is. He's got low eyes.

Kirk Cousins will play well for the Falcons and then be traded to another team this season.

I hope that at some point this season we get a Kirk Cousins game. I want to see Kirk Cousins. I want him to go out there. I want him to play well and then I want him to be traded to another team this season.

Shado Sanders is ready to start based on his recent progress in practice.

Mary Kay Cabot said in practice Shado Sanders has been making a ton of progress. He looks really good... It sounds out there, it sounds like Shado is ready.

AJ Brown feels 'used' by the Eagles because they only target him when they desperately need to win.

I think he looks at his relationship with a football team and every time they go to him and they try to exploit a weakness in the defense... he feels like he's being used, like they wouldn't pass him the ball if they didn't need him to win. So fuck them. It's like, you're just using me so that you can win.

Boneless wings are just big nuggets trying to be cool

Wings are not boneless. Wings have bones in them, but, this is it's big nugget that's trying to make themselves seem like they're as cool as chicken wings. You'll never be as cool as chicken wings. It's the mocktail of chicken.

The Lions are officially 'back' after their decisive win over the Buccaneers

The Lions defense was, they were, they was getting after [Baker Mayfield]... Hutchinson was getting after him and hitting him. I feel like the Lions are officially back, back, back.

The Lions need to get the ball in Penei Sewell's hands more this season

They need to get the ball in [Penei Sewell's] hands more this season. I wanna see him carrying the ball. I wanna see him on a screen pass. I wanna see him catching a lateral. I wanna see that man in the open field with the ball in his hand. Just running people over.

October football results don't matter; wake me up when it's playoff time

Actually, you know what? I might just flip my mentality. I might, I might put on my, my Hank hat for a second. We're talking about October football game. Like, it wake me up when it's playoff time. This team doesn't, we don't, we don't even take things seriously until the playoffs.

The Commanders money line over the Chiefs is a 'passing of the torch' game

Statement game, statement game, passing of the torch game. I put a bet on the Commanders money line in Arrowhead on Tuesday... plus 205. This is championship DNA. All right. This is what you have. These are the games you have to surprise people and win.

Louisville is the most dangerous team in America on Friday nights

Louisville on Friday nights is they're the most dangerous team in America and they have been for years. If you you don't know about Louisville Friday nights... They play different there. So I'm not riding Miami off just yet or anybody that loses to Louisville on a Friday night this year.

The 76ers will be a massive disappointment if they don't reach the NBA Finals

I just believe in the Sixers a little bit more than you, I guess. I'm gonna pick 'em... I think Sixers in the east, easily... This to me is as open as it's ever gonna be for the Sixers.

Trayvon Walker is the most forgettable number one overall pick in NFL history.

Trayvon Walker. I think he's got to be the most forgettable number one overall pick ever. And it was two years ago. ... He isn't terrible. ... but he, but he's not like, he doesn't do those flashes of anything spectacular.

I enjoy rooting against Carson Wentz more than I enjoy rooting against the Philadelphia Eagles.

I think I enjoy rooting against Carson Wentz more than I enjoy rooting against the Eagles. Because watching this game, I found my allegiance going against Carson Wentz. ... I was hoping for worse and worse stuff to happen to Carson Wentz every time he dropped back to pass.

The Vikings are intentionally delaying JJ McCarthy's return from injury to protect him from pressure and avoid admitting their mistake in not re-signing Sam Darnold.

My theory... was that they just don't want JJ McCarthy to feel like there's any pressure on him in case he has to in case he doesn't start out the season playing well. ... they're just really taking their time, bringing JJ back after playing. ... they don't have to face the fact that they didn't resign Sam Darnold until JJ McCarthy officially sucks.

Mike McDaniel showing up to a must-win game looking like the Unibomber was a bad omen for his job security.

Would you say that showing up to the game that will most likely get you fired as the Unibomber is probably not the best luck, because that's what Mike McDaniel looked like. ... Unibomber didn't get caught for being, for being such a wanted guy.

The Browns will be a very good team in two years once they clear Deshaun Watson's contract.

I actually think that the Browns might be in a good position for the next, like two, two years from now. ... Deshaun Watson, I think has an $80 million cap hit that's about to kick in. ... I actually think two years from now, the Browns could be a very good team.

I would take Jaden Daniels over Drake May a million times out of a million.

The thought that I have is that a million times outta a million. I would take Jaden over Drake may a million times. ... I still completely believe in Jaden long term.

Joe Flacco will eventually play for the Steelers because Mike Tomlin respects him so much

I think one day [Joe Flacco] is gonna end up playing for the Steelers. Because Mike Tomlin absolutely hates Joe Flacco. He respects him and he hates playing against him.

Mike McDaniel's record against winning teams (3-15) proves the Dolphins are frauds who can't beat good opponents

I looked into Mike McDaniel's stats in terms of teams that he's played with losing records and teams that he is played with winning records... his record against winning teams [is] three and 15. And against teams with losing records... he is 26 and 13. So much, much better against bad teams than good teams.

Spencer Rattler has a future as a starting quarterback in the NFL

Do you think that Spencer Rattler has a future as a starting quarterback in this league? I think he might. And I feel strong about maybe.

The Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl

Raiders Chiefs, Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. Chiefs are minus 11 and a half... Their offense is humming.

The Mariners are a team of destiny

I do feel Team of Destiny Vibes from the Mariners. Now their destiny might be to just get waxed by the Dodgers in the World Series. But I do think that Seattle's gonna get there.

I still think the Commanders are going to make the playoffs at 3-3

I still think when all is said and done, 'cause it's a long season, we do have a very hard schedule from here on out. I still think that we're gonna make the playoffs at three and three. I think that that's definitely a possibility.

The World Cup draw will be rigged for the United States

If anyone could pull it off, Trump doesn't care about soccer. Oh he does. He he's, he took the ball from FIFA. He's been bragging to everybody about how he got the World Cup. Make that happen buddy. Iceland is the smallest country to qualify for the World cup.

The Broncos are going to make the playoffs

No, the Broncos, they're gonna make the playoffs. After they lost to the Chargers, I looked at the schedule and even not taking into account the Eagles game, the Broncos are, they're gonna be there. And they're gonna be a tough team to beat in the playoffs too.

Drake Maye might have officially taken the torch as the next great Patriots quarterback

What if Hank was right about the passing of the torch game? What if Drake Maye has just... I, there is a part of me that's like Drake Maye, might be legit. Legit.

The Browns should start Shedeur Sanders to see what happens

Best case scenario, [Shedeur Sanders] goes out there and he's, he plays pretty good. Yeah. And then you could trade him. Like the, you have nothing to lose. You're not gonna make the playoffs... roll the dice on [Shedeur].

Losing close games consistently is a sign of bad coaching

If you keep losing close games, that's usually a sign of bad coaching. Yeah. And if you look at the teams that had the worst, like the, the most like one score losses last year, you're looking at guys like Matt Eberflus... That's usually a sign that that guy is probably not gonna stick around very long.

Joe Flacco will not lead the Bengals to the playoffs

No one thinks that [Joe] Flacco is gonna lead the Bengals to the playoffs. Right. As Americans, here's what we should hope for for Joe Flacco... to keep Jamar Chase engaged and to make the Bengals watchable in all these prime time games.

The 2025 Chiefs are a better team overall than the Super Bowl winning team from last year

It's a better team overall [the Chiefs]... now it's just gonna go back to Patrick Mahomes thinking that this game is very simple and everybody else being very frustrated. They're putting Mahomes under center now and they're handing the ball off and it's working really well.

The Mariners win over the Tigers in the ALDS was fueled by the 'Vibe Shift' of Humpy the Salmon winning his first race

This win goes as much to their stadium management crew as it does to the team on the field. Because T-Mobile Park was a dead zone. And then they did a second Salmon race... and Humpy the Salmon, a mascot who'd never won... his record was 0 and 162... Humpy won. Vibe shift entirely. Next inning, Mariners win.

The Brewers could absolutely beat the Dodgers in the NLCS

I've got a future on the Brewers that I put in in early August. They could absolutely beat the Dodgers. I've got a future on them... I would be very happy to see the Mariners win the World Series over my future, but I like the Brewers.

The Blue Jays are going to be a handful in the next round with Bo Bichette returning

The Toronto Blue Jays... they're getting Bo Bichette back I think in the next round. It's so, the Blue Jays are, they're, they're gonna be a handful.

The New York Giants are finally fun to watch

The New York Giants are fun as fuck. It's weird, isn't it? You expect them to occasionally pop up and be a good football team, but in a very boring way. And this is a team that like, I wanna watch more Giants football games.
