Justin Herbert's throwing ability is the 'Mona Lisa' of football

If throwing a football was supposed to be artistic or beautiful, that is the Mona Lisa, this guy. He's the guy that as a fellow thrower... when I watch him throw, I'm like, oh, it gives your heart beats value. Like, oh that is beautiful.

Purely subjective aesthetic evaluation of a QB's throw.

Miami would win the National Championship if they simply ran the ball every single play

I think that Miami could win this game if they ran the ball every single play. Their offensive line was dominant. And even when a guy would get wrapped up for a two yard gain, then you get the five huge big giant dogs on their offensive line pushing them downhill like an avalanche. You end up with a five, six yard gain on it.

While Miami did win the semi-final, they have not played the championship game yet. The effectiveness of running every play is subjective.

At least one NFL team that loses this weekend will fire their head coach specifically to pursue John Harbaugh

I think that there's gonna be a team that loses in the playoffs that's gonna fire the coach too... thinking, oh, we're definitely gonna get [John] Harbaugh. Maybe two. And then one of those teams won't get Harbaugh.

PFT predicted a team that lost in the playoffs would fire their coach to pursue John Harbaugh. The Ravens missed the playoffs (8-9), fired Harbaugh after 18 seasons, and the Giants hired him. While the Ravens didn't lose 'in' the playoffs (they missed entirely), the spirit of the prediction about Harbaugh being pursued and hired came true.

Mike McDaniel will likely become the Commanders' offensive coordinator because of his relationship with Dan Quinn

The reason why I think [McDaniel] might, he might be a commander. Offensive coordinators. He loves Dan Quinn. ... Dan was like his number one advocate when it came to getting him sober and supporting [him]. ... He's probably odds on favor that it's gonna be the commanders.

Mike McDaniel did not become the Commanders' offensive coordinator. He was hired by the Los Angeles Chargers as their offensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh, officially announced on January 26, 2026. The Commanders instead promoted David Blough to offensive coordinator.

The Super Bowl will be dominated by Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes for the next 10 years

I said this maybe 2021, that the next 10 years, the Super Bowl's gonna be dominated by Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes. They're just gonna trade out in the next 10 years. You're gonna see one of 'em win the Super Bowl.

This is an ongoing 10-year window. Mahomes has multiple wins, Burrow has an appearance, Allen is still searching.

Failure to win a championship is an indictment of the Buffalo Bills organization, not Josh Allen

Josh Allen's ready to go to the Super Bowl. He just needs the help that Patrick got that others in history have gotten... If Josh Allen doesn't [win], that says more about the bills, in my mind, it says more about the bills than it does Josh Allen.

Subjective organizational critique.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers are a dangerous 'watch out' team in the playoffs due to their defense and running game.

Aaron Rodgers to me makes them watch out. Because you just get into a playoff game, you play great defense, you run the football, you win the line of scrimmage... He's the kind of guy that can take advantage of it. So I'd be super careful with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers.

The outcome of the Steelers/Texans game and subsequent playoff rounds will determine their 'watch out' status.
