Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in football along with Tom Brady

What about Aaron Rodgers? No, he's the best. Nothing wrong with him? No, he's the best. He doesn't have the weapons, guys. Come on, he does not have the weapons around him... if you're asking me if there's one quarterback in the league, I think he's the best quarterback in football right now. Him and Brady.

Rodgers won two MVPs after this (2020, 2021), proving he remained elite.

The Cubs are not dead

The Cubs are not dead. We're not panicking. But they did get the shit kicked out of them by the Dodgers in L.A. Not much else to say. Rich Hill was fantastic. You just got to wait for the bats to come alive.

The Cubs famously came back to win the NLCS and the 2016 World Series.

Joe Maddon belongs in the American League

Two things about Joe Maddon. Number one, he's obviously an American League manager... he clearly belongs in the AL.

Maddon won the World Series with a National League team shortly after this.

Joe Maddon needs to get rid of his thick-framed glasses because players won't play hard for a nerd

Number two, I think it might be time to change the glasses. You can't... You've never seen a champion with thick frames like that before. It was cute at first, Joe. We get it. Get rid of the glasses, and then I think... Players won't play hard if their manager's a nerd.

Maddon won the World Series in 2016 while wearing those glasses.

A 'football guy' is someone who enjoys lighting up a cigar and watching the game at home

To me, I'm a football guy, and I enjoy watching it. I enjoy lighting up a cigar and watching it in my house or my condominium. That's what I enjoy doing.

This is Ditka's personal definition of a term the show uses as a recurring bit.

I would not bench Brian Hoyer for Jay Cutler if Hoyer is playing well

It would be very hard for me to make a switch... I'm not against Jay [Cutler]. I'm saying when you've got a guy playing his... if he wasn't playing well, I'd say, okay. People say, well, he's just a journeyman. Well, maybe he found... maybe this is the end of the journey. Maybe he found home.

Hoyer broke his arm shortly after this, and Cutler returned to start, making the debate moot by injury.

Ronald Reagan was the 'real deal' as a President because he stood up for what was right

Ronald Reagan was the real deal, guys. I don't care what party you are, Republican, Democrat, Independent, Ronald Reagan was the real deal. And he stood up for what was right. None of the BS.

Subjective political opinion.
