Russell Wilson will be the Week 1 starter for the Steelers

I think Russell Wilson. ...I just know that when they brought him in it was like they put tunnel vision on. They're like, Russell's our guy... I think the plan is Russell Wilson week one.

Wilson was named the starter but a calf injury kept him out of Week 1; Justin Fields started the opener.

Hassan Reddick is choosing to lose over a million dollars just to avoid going to work

He's missed 15 days of training camp, which means he's accumulated $850,000 in mandatory fines. And 300,000 in discretionary fines. Now for every week that he misses, he's gonna miss that week's game check as well... he owes the Jets over a million dollars right now for skipping work... this dude hates work so much that he's willing to pay a million dollars.

The fine amounts and game check losses were accurately reported based on the 2020 CBA rules for training camp holdouts.

JJ McCarthy will be back in two months from his meniscus injury but it will linger

[JJ McCarthy] could be back. He'll probably be back in like two months and then it'll linger for a little bit longer... And it'll come back like within the next couple years. Like there'll always be the worry of, you know, the meniscus to, it could tear again. It probably will tear again.

McCarthy underwent a full repair and was ruled out for the entire 2024 season, making the 'two months' timeline incorrect.

The Washington Huskies are my new official Big 10 team

[My Big 10 team is] the Washington Huskies... because Belichick is a defensive coordinator. Steve Belichick... they combine two of my great loves before games. They've got drinking and then they've sailboats.

He stuck with this throughout the season as a fan bit.

The Giants completely changed their negative reputation in just three days of the NFL Draft

The Giants have had the roughest reputational year that a team can imagine... And in the matter of three days, Joe Shane and Brian [Daboll] have completely changed a conversation around this team where like every Giants fan is like back on board and they're like, let's go.

The Giants struggled significantly in the 2025 season despite the draft praise, failing to change their reputation for long.

The Falcons cannot keep Kirk Cousins as a backup with his current salary following the Michael Penix Jr. pick

I can't imagine the Falcons week one paying Kirk Cousins that salary and having Michael Penix be the starter... if you're the Falcons, you can't have that guy with that salary as much as they say it... that guy can't be on the ri, he's a great teammate in the whole thing and he showed up to Spring Camp, but you can't be paying him that number to be a backup.

Cousins remained the starter for the majority of the 2024/25 season while on that salary.

Xavier Restrepo will be the #3 receiver for the Titans and record 60 catches as an undrafted rookie

I watched a lot of Miami. I don't understand [how he didn't get drafted]... That guy makes a play every single time they throw it to him... Isaiah [Xavier] Restrepo is gonna be like the number three receiver and he'll have 60 catches and he'll be a great NFL player.

Restrepo did not reach 60 catches as a rookie for the Titans.
