The Steelers are the most beloved dynasty in American sports history

Is there any doubt that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the most beloved dynasty in American sports history? I don't think Belichick and Brady... they're not going to stack up with the Pittsburgh Steelers in terms of the affection that our football nation has for the black and gold.

This is entirely subjective, but most national polls would favor teams like the 90s Bulls or Cowboys in terms of 'beloved' status over the Steelers.

The Steelers are like Michigan football because they count championships won before the Super Bowl era

That's a classic Steelers move to count the championships that you won before the Super Bowl was a thing. I'm saying that's a classic thing to reach back. Well, in 1920, we won the big contest. We call that Michigan football.

The Steelers do officially recognize their pre-Super Bowl history, and Michigan is famously cited for its numerous pre-poll era national titles.

Michigan football counts national championships they won before black people were allowed to play

Michigan football counts all the national championships they won before they let black people play.

While Michigan had black players as early as the 19th century, many of their early claimed titles (1901-1904) occurred during eras of widespread segregation in college sports.

The Patriots are a better team specifically because of Dion Lewis

Actually, the real reason is Dion Lewis. They are 14-0 when [Lewis] plays. [Brady's] a system quarterback, in other words.

The Patriots did have an incredible winning streak when Dion Lewis was active on the roster during this era.

Antonio Brown is the best wide receiver since Randy Moss

Antonio Brown's the best receiver since Randy Moss. And Le'Veon Bell's the best running back in the game. And are they really never even going to get to a Super Bowl together?

Brown had a legendary run in Pittsburgh, though many would argue for Megatron or others. Brown never won a Super Bowl with the Steelers.

The Eagles lack a grinder running back to finish games

It's clear in the fourth quarter that's what [the Eagles] miss with not having Jay Ajayi or LeGarrette Blount. That's going to be a bad thing, and I don't know what the fix is out there on the open market for them to get that guy who can just grind the defense when you need him to.

The Eagles struggled to run consistently in 2018, finishing 28th in rushing yards per attempt.

The Packers will be the second best team in the NFC by the end of the season

I'll say it's going to be the Packers by the time it turns out [the second best team in the NFC].

The Packers finished 6-9-1 and missed the playoffs entirely; Mike McCarthy was fired mid-season.
