The Bengals should bench Jake Browning for Mike White

I don't really know what to make of the Bengals... I say hit the Mike White button. Right? That's the button that... hit the Mike White button.

The Broncos will win 8 or 9 more games this season and are still very much alive

I still think that if you just look at their schedule, they have probably eight to nine more games that they should win and they might be able to steal one or two. So, they're still very much alive.

Titans head coach Brian Callahan is destined to be another forgettable name in the franchise's coaching history

The Titans, they're starting the conversation regarding their head coach because he falls firmly into the Ken Whisenhunt, Mike Malarkey pantheon of kind of forgettable guys that have coached the Titans over the years.

I don't think Carson Wentz is fixable as a quarterback due to his extensive scar tissue

I'm not ready to say that about Cars. I don't, I don't think that Carson Wentz is fixable. Yeah. I think he's got too, too much scar tissue.

Marcus Mariota is the best backup quarterback in the NFL

I think [Marcus Mariota] is probably the best backup quarterback in the NFL. He was great last year. He was awesome against the Cowboys. And this is actually... for all the talk about Jayden [Daniels] possibly being injury prone, this is the first start that he will miss.

Spencer Rattler will get his first NFL win as a starter this week against the Seahawks

I think, I think they're gonna win. [Spencer Rattler] is gonna get his first win this week. First win as a starter.

The Bears-Cowboys matchup is a 'Gateway Game' specifically for how people view Caleb Williams as a quarterback

I think it might be a gateway game for your feelings about Caleb Williams as a quarterback... Because if they go 0-3, it's gonna be just full, like Caleb's gotta look good.

Derwin James should be in the conversation for NFL Defensive Player of the Year

I walked away from that game thinking that we should be talking more about Derwin James. I love watching him play... I feel like he should be in that conversation for defensive player of the year.

The Commanders should bench Jaden Daniels this weekend to protect him from the FedEx Field turf

I act, I don't wanna see Jayden this weekend. Oh, I, I think we should sit him. Okay. Because I, I'm still dealing with my PTSD Post-Traumatic Snyder disorder. When Robert Griffin had a sprained knee, came back too soon, everything was bad after that... Every quarterback has gotten injured on that turf.

The Bengals should only run the ball with their current backup quarterback room

They [the Bengals] should not try to pass. They should just try to run the football. That's because those four [backup] names—Jake Browning, Sean Clifford, Brett Rypien, and Mike White—that's literally a Mount Rushmore of 'hand the ball off.' Do not try to pass the ball.

This will be the final season of the Tush Push as the NFL prepares to ban it

And now we're getting everything that we need, all the ammunition necessary for at the end of the season for it to be banned. It's gonna be, this is the last season of the push. It's banned.

Brandon Aubrey could be a first or second-round draft pick if re-drafted

If he entered the NFL draft next year, if somehow he got reclassified back and he wasn't in the NFL and was eligible to be drafted, there would be a team that would take him in the second round. I'm saying he is so much better than any other kicker in the NFL.

The Steelers are better when they have a shitty quarterback

I think the Steelers are better when they have a shitty quarterback... I think that they're better when their defense knows that they have to be like impregnable.

The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins as a smoke screen to draft Michael Penix Jr.

I think that the Falcons when they, they probably signed Kirk Cousins and said, Hey, this is a smoke screen. No one's gonna think that we're gonna draft Michael Penix. So a fall to us. So let's just pay this guy a hundred million dollars. So we get our guy and it worked.

The Commanders will win 10 games but are not good enough to beat elite teams

I think we're like an above average team right now. I think we're like a 10 win team. But that's like our, our, we're not gonna beat the good teams, the very good teams. It was just, it was ugly.

I wouldn't trade Jaden Daniels for any other player in the NFL right now

I wouldn't trade, I don't think that there's a player in the NFL that I would trade for Jaden [Daniels] right now. He had a bad game. I think that's fair. I but he, he wasn't the main problem tonight.

Jaxson Dart will get his first start for the Giants against the Chargers

My prediction was that Dart gets in against the Chargers. That would be his first start I think. I don't know if it's gonna be a clean benching for Russell Wilson. I think they might do the Dart packages and they might like slowly incorporate Dart into the games.

The Buffalo Bills are going to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl

Bills have the easiest schedule now. Undefeated. Would it, wouldn't it be funny if the bills went undefeated? It's week one. I'm not gonna overreact, but I think that the Buffalo Bills are gonna go undefeated. Win the Super Bowl.

The Indianapolis Colts are going to make the playoffs this year

I think the Colts are gonna make the playoffs this year. I'll tell you that much. I, I, looking at their schedule... they don't have a hard schedule. And Anthony Richardson looked awesome. I think he's gonna be good enough to win a majority of their games if he stays healthy.

John Harbaugh has a problem with second-half collapses and poor game management

This is a John Harbaugh loss. He's got several of them... double digit leads that [blow]. It does feel like he does something like that every year where whether it's like, oh, you forgot that you had a running game or why did you punt there? Or your running back fumbled or your defense didn't play anything resembling your defense from last year.

JJ McCarthy is the number one 'gamer' in the NFL

JJ McCarthy, gamer dude. Is he the number one gamer that we got right now? ...I think he's become the number one gamer now in the NFL. It's like, well yeah, as bad as things can look. So he's just gonna figure out a way to win.

JJ McCarthy is basically a younger version of Tim Tebow

I've got JJ McCarthy on Tebow watch. He feels like early, early stages Tebow. Where it's like things go poorly for him, but guess what? He's gonna figure out a way to win. And he is gonna drive people insane watching because he'll be like, this guy stinks. Oh wait, this guy's actually really good.

Jackson Dart will take over as the Giants starter after their game against the Chiefs

Jackson [Dart] will be the starter soon. Yeah. I feel like it's gonna be right after that Chiefs game. What was it? Charger at home? Yeah. Yeah. That's what I've got circled. But yeah, if you're taking two days to announce your starter in week two, that means that that guy's not gonna be your starter much longer.

USF should be ranked in the top 10 after beating two ranked opponents

USF... Are they the only team that's beaten two ranked opponents? I believe so. So they beat Boise State and then they beat Florida. I think they're, I think you can make the case. They should be ranked higher. Top 10.

Aaron Rodgers, to his credit... he looked better than any Steelers quarterback that I can remember since Big Ben could move. This is what I was talking about when I said that I think the Steelers can win a playoff game this year.

Michael Penix Jr. is the greatest goal-line reacher of all time

Michael Penix Jr. is also the greatest... reacher at the goal line of all time. I mean you had the Indiana one, this one... he reaches at the goal line. He scores touchdowns in improbable ways.

Russell Wilson is officially bad

Russell Wilson looked bad. He looked very, very bad. He is bad. Yeah, he is bad. He both appeared to be bad and I know it to be true and he is also bad. And he looked it.

Matthew Stafford will be 6th all-time in passing yards by the end of the year

Matthew Stafford also reached 60,000 yards. He's now 10th all time in yards... If he has 3,600 yards this year, he's gonna end end the season sixth all time.

The Lions' offensive struggles are proof that Ben Johnson was the 'secret sauce' in Detroit

this is good for the Bears... Because the offense didn't look as good without Ben Johnson. Meaning that you guys [Packers] have whatever made that offense look good last year... Ben Johnson as offensive coordinator for the Lions was five and one against the Packers. The Lions without Ben Johnson, Owen won against the Packers.

If the Commanders beat the Packers, I am expecting a Super Bowl

If we beat the Packers, anything less than a Super Bowl championship this year will be a, a massive crushing disappointment to me. If we win against the Packers, I'm thinking soupy, soupy.

I am betting heavily on Daniel Jones and the Colts to beat the Broncos next week

I'm gonna hammer Hammer Danny Dimes... Hammer Danny Dimes [against the Broncos].

Jake Moody should be cut by the 49ers next week

Jake Moody has been a problem for the Niners... 12 of 23 is insane. He's gotta be cut this week... I'd be shocked if he was on the team next week.

I think she should be banned for rest of Citizens Bank Park... She should be banned from Citizens Bank Park... she almost fought somebody over a home run ball.

I am officially back in on Kyle Pitts this season

I'm officially back in on Kyle Pitts. Oh no. I'm officially back in. Hear me out... [Kirk Cousins] is a different quarterback than has been throwing the ball to Kyle Pitts over the last two years. He might be smart enough to realize that Kyle Pitts is really theoretically good at football.

The Steelers will win a playoff game this year

I think the Steelers are gonna win a playoff game this year. One, I think they're gonna win one playoff game this year.

I am now very excited about beating you [Hank] at golf and taking the thing that you love the most in this whole world away from you.

My worst-case scenario for the Commanders is Jayden Daniels suffering a major knee injury

My worst case scenario because it does, I think about this every Sunday. Is Jayden Daniels' knee exploding? Oh, I think I think about it way too much every time he gets hit. I think about it.

Charlie Woods is back. He got a hole in one on the third hole at Sawgrass today... Charlie Woods is the future golf. I think he cemented that today.

Michael Jordan needs to be allowed back on the UNC football sidelines with a headset for decision making

I would say maybe Jordan needs to be allowed back on the sidelines headset. Why are you kicking Jordan out of all decision making from the team and then acting surprised when you get the shit kicked out of you by TCU week one?

Alabama is back to being a regular program like it was before Nick Saban

This is going back to Bama. This is what you were before Nick Saban was there. That's what you're gonna be after Nick Saban leaves, unless you find the next Nick Saban.

Nico Iamaleava should transition to being a wide receiver

Nico, I'm a receiver. Yeah, that's, that's what I'm calling him... I think he's very fast. I think he's got great change of direction. I think he has no idea how to throw like an intermediate pass whatsoever.

Listen, putting a C on somebody's chest is overrated. And that's what Max has always told you.

Luis Suarez's passion for soccer is so high that he's still spitting on staff members in MLS games

I kind of admire Luis Suarez's passion in that he's still so fired up for soccer that he's spitting on an old guy in a Seattle Miami MLS game... that passion's never gone away. He just blacks out. I think that's why he's not retired from soccer.

The Commanders will win 11 games despite a tougher schedule

I'm gonna say 11 wins for the Commanders this season, so... I think they're gonna be a better team, but they're gonna only win 11 games this year.

Terry McLaurin's 'hold in' only worked because he didn't miss mental reps and stayed in shape

I like to think that Terry is a consummate pro... they were just giving him all the assignments, the playbook, all that stuff he was doing mental reps. He's gonna be in shape.

Terry McLaurin has already secretly signed a new contract with the Commanders
