Clemson at 16-1 to win the national championship is a great value bet

I was like, take Clemson 16 to one to win the national championship. They're not gonna win it. But at that number you, they're gonna get there... their defensive line is nasty enough actually that if they get in the playoff, they might be able to beat somebody.

Clemson finished 11-3 and did not make the College Football Playoff, so the bet did not pay out.

I enjoy watching the Broncos on primetime because the brand of bad football is a fascinating story every time

I actually, I'm gonna say this and I know this, people will be like, 'Oh, you're just saying this to be opposite,' I enjoy having the Broncos on primetime football because every time it's a story. It's bad football but you see something new every time and it's a weird story. It became so hilariously bad that it's interesting. There's something about a Broncos primetime game that it's fascinating to watch because it's just a car crash for 60 minutes plus.

Subjective opinion on entertainment value. The 2022 Broncos did remain a fascinatngly bad story for most of the season.

Russell Wilson is a mentally broken man

I think yes, there is [something wrong with Russell Wilson]. I think mentally he's a broken man.

While subjective, Wilson's tenure in Denver was statistically the worst of his career and he was eventually benched and released, supporting the idea of a major breakdown in his play.

Nathaniel Hackett may be a good offensive coordinator, but he is clearly not prepared to be an NFL head coach

Nathaniel Hackett might be an offensive guru... but you also have to be like, 'Wait, this is something that you're just not prepared for at all.' Just because you're a good offensive coordinator doesn't mean you know how to do all this stuff [like picking up blitzes and making adjustments].

Hackett was fired before completing his first season (the first such firing in Broncos history), which strongly validates the 'not prepared' take.

The Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade

I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.

The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.

The NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos

If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.

This is a humorous rule proposal, not a verifiable prediction.

The Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips

The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.

The success of the Panthers' defense with Phillips will determine if the overpay was justified.
