I would be perfect in today's NFL because of the rule changes

Oh, I would love it. It would basically fit me perfect. I was a true cover guy... when you're playing in the NFL, hitting somebody, really crushing them is a sin. So I'm perfect in this NFL. I'm going to go out here and I'm going to intercept balls and I'm going to play football.

Subjective self-assessment of his skills vs. era.

The new XFL is probably going to suck

I'll give you – it's going to suck. We all agree, right? It's probably going to suck. It's going to be shitty football. The problem with... The XFL is this weird thing.

The 2020 XFL was actually widely praised for its quality and rules before COVID-19 ended the season, so the 'sucking' part was largely incorrect.

The XFL will force the NFL to adapt and implement things that make the NFL better

But here's what it will do, is it's going to force the NFL to actually implement some things that make the NFL better. Because like Skycam, the XFL is going to do one or two things right, and the NFL is going to have to adapt and implement those things.

The NFL has since adopted several XFL-style innovations, including revamped kickoff rules and betting-friendly broadcasts.

Jerry Jones may have helped fund the XFL to screw over Roger Goodell

So it wouldn't shock me if Mr. Shadow Commissioner Jerry Jones maybe helped to fund the start of the NFL, gave him some of the seed money just to fuck Roger Goodell over.

There is no public evidence that Jerry Jones funded the XFL; Vince McMahon sold $100M of WWE stock to fund it.

The Miami Dolphins culture is currently falling apart from the inside

That apple was rotting before it hit the ground. It feel like that house is just falling apart. You go into survival mode. Everybody in the building goes into survival mode... It's like jumping overboard. They like let the kids and the children go first. I gotta go too.

The Dolphins' season spiraled into a 4-13 finish with multiple staff changes, confirming the internal collapse Smoot predicted.

Pumpkins are useless food that only hippos and squirrels actually enjoy

I got a vendetta against everything pumpkin... nobody likes pumpkins, we're just forced to do a lot of stuff that we just forced to do as human beings... The only animal [that eats it] is the hippopotamus and squirrels.

His claim that nobody likes them is hyperbole, making it subjective food commentary.

The Commanders are legitimate Super Bowl contenders this season

No, we thinking Super Bowl. It's been generations since we could think Super Bowl and just to be in that window to think Super Bowl is a privilege... Congratulations to the team by the way. We moving back to the nation's capital.

The Commanders did not make the Super Bowl in 2025, though they did make the playoffs.
