The Patriots' elite offense will offset any defensive challenge the Chargers present in the Wild Card round

I think our great offense can offset any great defense. ... I would rather be going up against a great defense with a great offense than having to go up against a fantastic offense with a okay defense. ... Justin Herbert in the playoffs [is a] big pick guy. He's gotta prove it.

The Patriots/Chargers Wild Card game outcome will settle this.

Miami would win the National Championship if they simply ran the ball every single play

I think that Miami could win this game if they ran the ball every single play. Their offensive line was dominant. And even when a guy would get wrapped up for a two yard gain, then you get the five huge big giant dogs on their offensive line pushing them downhill like an avalanche. You end up with a five, six yard gain on it.

While Miami did win the semi-final, they have not played the championship game yet. The effectiveness of running every play is subjective.

At least one NFL team that loses this weekend will fire their head coach specifically to pursue John Harbaugh

I think that there's gonna be a team that loses in the playoffs that's gonna fire the coach too... thinking, oh, we're definitely gonna get [John] Harbaugh. Maybe two. And then one of those teams won't get Harbaugh.

PFT predicted a team that lost in the playoffs would fire their coach to pursue John Harbaugh. The Ravens missed the playoffs (8-9), fired Harbaugh after 18 seasons, and the Giants hired him. While the Ravens didn't lose 'in' the playoffs (they missed entirely), the spirit of the prediction about Harbaugh being pursued and hired came true.

Mike McDaniel will likely become the Commanders' offensive coordinator because of his relationship with Dan Quinn

The reason why I think [McDaniel] might, he might be a commander. Offensive coordinators. He loves Dan Quinn. ... Dan was like his number one advocate when it came to getting him sober and supporting [him]. ... He's probably odds on favor that it's gonna be the commanders.

Mike McDaniel did not become the Commanders' offensive coordinator. He was hired by the Los Angeles Chargers as their offensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh, officially announced on January 26, 2026. The Commanders instead promoted David Blough to offensive coordinator.

Shohei Ohtani was just playing against electricians in the World Baseball Classic

If you're talking about Shohei, you can literally say he was just playing against electricians. He got shut out by an electrician.

While technically true that some players on smaller nations' teams had day jobs (like the Czech electrician), it is an absurd reduction of the tournament's overall talent level.

I am against prenups because marriage should be forever

I'm against prenups. Because if you're getting married, you're never—you're getting married to be together forever. If you really love someone, the money shouldn't matter.

This is a personal philosophical stance.

The Celtics are completely back with Jayson Tatum returning to form

He looks so good. The Celtics looks so good. They're, they're so back. Missoula is such a good coach. And he's not forcing it and like trying to take over. 'cause when your team's already second on the east, you don't need to come back and be a superstar.

The Celtics were indeed a top team in 2026.
