Luke Fickle will be awesome at Wisconsin

And we hopefully will find somebody like Luke Fickle. Yes. Who I told you prior to the, you know, our taping here. I think he's awesome. Yeah. And I, all Wisconsin fans will not know what to do with themselves when like a fifth wide receiver steps on the field. Even once. I love him... He's funny, he's engaging, he's young. He's exactly who Wisconsin should be going for.

Luke Fickell has not been 'awesome' at Wisconsin. After going 7-6 in year one, he went 5-7 in 2024 with no bowl game. The hire has been disappointing so far.

The NFL Draft is an unbreakable TV event because of the 'transaction of hope'

I totally geek out about it. I do not care what anybody else might say. I think it's, it's unbreakable. It's something As long as everybody wants to actually gather around a television set for three days and watch an event where the power brokers are not physically there.

The draft continues to see high ratings and cultural relevance.

The Detroit Lions will win the NFC North

Lions were one of 'em. Which I think we can all probably agree. They seem poised to make the playoffs. I think they win the division.

The Detroit Lions did indeed win the NFC North in the 2023-24 season.

The Falcons will make the playoffs in 2023

Falcons that division's completely wide open. Yeah. Who do you think wins it? The Saints. Just cuz they got Derek Carr. I mean, I need to see what that looks like. I like what they did on defense and I like the coach.

The Falcons finished 7-10 and missed the playoffs in 2023.

Aaron Rodgers can play deep into his 40s like Tom Brady

I do believe Rodgers can be Brady 2.0 in terms of playing deep into his forties. If that is something he wants to do. He doesn't look to be a broken down guy. He looks to be the exact opposite. Taking care of himself.

Aaron Rodgers did not play deep into his 40s like Tom Brady. At 42, Rodgers said 2025 was likely his final season after a mediocre year with the Steelers (2,370 yards, 12 starts). Brady played until 45 at a high level.

The 1990s Buffalo Bills are a dynasty

Do you consider the bills of the nineties of Dynasty? ... I would [say so]. We'll never see that again. Ever. We saw Brady, we saw Brady with the Patriots and Belichick and they didn't make four in a row... the bills of the early nineties dynasty there, there's names from that team that are all over the hall of fame.

Definition of 'dynasty' is subjective, but this is a very contrarian view in sports media.

Urban Meyer would fail if he returned to college coaching in the transfer portal era

You think Urban would be able to coach in the transfer portal era where somebody's basically like, I don't like the way you've treated me... His way or the highway. And as you know, and you'll get drafted. There's now a highway. There's now a highway.

Purely hypothetical as Meyer has not returned to coaching.

The Cowboys collapse is the biggest surprise of the season, and the Falcons are the biggest disappointment

I guess the surprise would have to be the way the Cowboys have totally collapsed. I honestly thought that [Andy] Dalton would acquit himself better... and disappointment I would think is Atlanta. I mean that is it was just terrible. I mean the 0-5 start I didn't see at all.

The Cowboys finished 6-10 and the Falcons finished 4-12, both missing the playoffs as major underachievers.

Patrick Mahomes is the MVP of the season

The Chiefs have the defending champs and they have to me the MVP of the season now is my prediction going in and just so you know, I'm not the only one they're saying that you know about that Mahomes.

Aaron Rodgers won the 2020 NFL MVP award.

I have to get my hair cut every 10 days because it grows back in weird spots

I need to get my hair cut every 10 days... it cannot be buzzed because if it gets buzzed it grows back weird. Truly what I do have grows all the time to the point where I need to get my hair cut every 10 days... if not, it just grows in very difficult spots.

This is a personal lifestyle claim by the guest.

Scott Hanson is a superior RedZone host to Andrew Siciliano

Who do I have to tell go Siciliano? Oh my gosh... I'm taking PFT's gun and shooting Siciliano... why is that? [Scott] Hanson is far superior. He's an animal. He is outstanding what he does.

This is a subjective media preference, though Scott Hanson's version of RedZone is generally more widely watched and acclaimed.

I'm sticking with my preseason prediction that the Rams will beat the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII

I take the Rams over the Patriots. Yes, I do... I am technically copping out because those who make predictions or are forced to, when you make a preseason prediction that actually turns out to be spot on – I now have the cover of saying, well, I predicted it before the season, so I can't give up now.

The Patriots beat the Rams 13-3 in Super Bowl LIII.

Ohio State will stop beating the crap out of everyone now that Urban Meyer is gone

He's [Urban Meyer] going to go play golf or whatever that famous golf course is... and then suddenly Ohio State's not going to be beating the crap out of everybody. I don't know. Okay, you think [Ryan Day] will beat the crap out of everyone?

Ohio State continued to dominate under Ryan Day, making multiple Playoffs and continuing to beat Michigan until 2021.
