Bill O'Brien is a great hire for the Patriots because he understands the standard
I think it's a great move for the Patriots because [Bill O'Brien] understands the standard. He's been in the situation of being a coach in the organization... and he's also been a head coach... he single-handedly developed Deshaun Watson, made him a $250 million quarterback.

I'm rooting for Brock in the Niners because Brock has a chance to totally erase Tom Brady's narrative and legacy if he wins a Super Bowl... if he wins seven. If he wins seven, he would have a better... he would be like totally erased Tom Brady's underdog story cause it's even bigger underdog story.

Dan Campbell needs to evolve and stop taking unnecessary risks like fake punts
I love Dan Campbell, but he needs to evolve his play color. His, his, his coaching style. He, he, he can't act like he's a the hunter anymore. He's being hunted. You know, you, you're the good team.

Matthew Stafford is a first-ballot Hall of Famer
