We owe Mike Tomlin an apology for how he handled Antonio Brown

In all of this, in all the Antonio Brown madness and the Raiders and all that stuff, I think we owe Mike Tomlin an apology. I think he actually dealt with Antonio Brown the way that you have to deal with a receiver that talented and kind of a little out there just kind of ignored it for a while. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Given AB's subsequent legal issues and short stints elsewhere, Tomlin's ability to keep him on the field for 9 years is widely praised in retrospect.

Whenever Mike Vrabel is underestimated, bet on him

I am now making a new rule. Whenever Mike Vrabel is underestimated, bet on him. I feel like this happens every single time the Titans, we're like, the Titans stink, their offense is boring, and Marcus Mariota isn't the guy. They did it last year when they played the Patriots.

Vrabel consistently outperformed expectations as an underdog throughout his Titans tenure, including a deep playoff run later this season (2019).

The Dolphins will win seven games this season

Next week, Patriots at Dolphins... Dolphins always manage to win a game against the Patriots. Always happens... Chargers are going east... Redskins at Dolphins, I'm going to take the Dolphins on that one too... Two wins against the Bills. Two wins against the Jets for the revenge games... Seven wins for my Dolphins.

The 2019 Dolphins finished 5-11, failing to reach 7 wins.

The key to Kirk Cousins' success is not letting him play quarterback

They figured out the key to Kirk Cousins. Don't let him actually play quarterback. He only threw 10 passes. Less is more with him... Actually, the key for Kirk Cousins is to make sure that the quarterback doesn't play quarterback.

The Vikings' offense was significantly better when leaning on Dalvin Cook and the run game in 2019, though Cousins still had high-volume games.

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

Tua Tagovailoa's market value is non-existent relative to his contract

Everything's on the table for the Dolphins. Tua could be a fullback. What would you... What do you think the Dolphins would say yes to for a trade for Tua? Like a sixth round pick for Tua? A jugs machine? I don't know what the hell would Tua's market be?

The Dolphins' internal view on 'everything being on the table' is a subjective claim about team strategy.
