The Chiefs will beat the 49ers 22-18 in Super Bowl LVIII

I think the Chiefs repeat. 23-20. [Big Cat: No, let's fix that.]... So 22-18. You get to 18, I mean, there's six... you could kick a lot of field goal. 22-18. The Chiefs, I have them winning. I'd like to see a repeat champ and I just hope people recognize what they're watching.

The Chiefs won 25-22. Berman was correct on the winner but wrong on the specific score.

The NFL is better when the Patriots are losing

I'm sorry to get right into it about the Patriots, but I do wanna say the NFL is better when the Patriots are losing. I'm not kidding. Think about this season and how exciting it's been. How many ups and downs... when the Patriots aren't in play, it's just more fun. It's wide open.

The 2023 season did see significant parity and the rise of new teams like the Texans and Lions while the Patriots struggled.

Mike McDaniel will become annoying if the Dolphins don't win soon

Is Coach McDaniel annoying? [Big Cat: Not annoying.] If they don't win next year. Yes. Annoying. Umm. You don't think the, the, the pants, the, the, the Kop pants are like a little... the sunglasses all the time is a little bit much for me.

Subjective opinion on a coach's personality based on future performance.

Taylor Swift should have dated someone on the Panthers to learn that life isn't that easy

I don't wanna say anything negative about Taylor Swift, but that that just, it it, it's unfair that Taylor Swift was basically introduced to the NFL this year. And she's already in the Super Bowl... she should have dated someone on like the Panthers. Yeah. Go to Bank of America Stadium Week 16. That's a fact. I wanna see David Tepper pouring a drink on her.

Hyperbolic joke about fandom and struggle.

Sam Darnold was never the problem during his tenure with the Jets

I said, can I just say one thing to you? There are a lot of people in New York rooting for you. Parentheses. I didn't say it. But he got it. Like, he goes, it's nice for you to say. I said, no, no, I grew up at Shea Stadium... They figured out you're not the problem.

Darnold's performance leading the 2025 Seahawks to the Super Bowl provides strong retrospective evidence for this opinion.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has the best body language of any receiver I've ever seen

You'll find that fascinating. It's, Sam never heard a quarterback say it. He's got the best body language of any receiver that I've ever seen. Body language. Well, that's usually something said in a singles bar.

This is a qualitative scouting opinion from a veteran broadcaster.

Bill Belichick is an obvious Hall of Famer and the voters look foolish for his snub

They look pretty foolish... I had my speech half written for Bill. Not that I'm sitting there writing it in January... 11 people [voting against him] is a lot. It's a lot of people. I understand. Willie Mays wasn't unanimous... but duh. He's in... Oh God yes. [He should be in the Hall].

While the vote is subjective, Belichick is widely considered one of the greatest coaches ever, making his exclusion highly controversial.
