The Broncos, Patriots, and Colts are more complete teams and better Super Bowl contenders than the Bills, Ravens, or Chiefs
I'm picking on the side of the Broncos, the Patriots, and the Colts. ... we are creatures that we love nostalgia. ... Old habits die really, really hard. And I think we think about the Ravens, the Chiefs, and the Bills. Yes, the best teams? No, they're not. The Ravens' defense is flawed. The Chiefs are 5-5. ... I think the teams like the Broncos and the Colts are more complete teams.

I think that what is happening right now is they had their heart set on the American [AAC], on that conference. Whoever wins that conference is going to get just pigeonholed in. Doesn't matter what else happens.
Georgia is in the best possible position because they can get a playoff bye without playing the SEC championship game

The quarterbacks for Jacksonville, Miami, Philadelphia, and Arizona are the highest-paid players on their teams but are not the best players
Jacksonville, Miami, Philadelphia, Arizona—you know what those four teams have in common? The quarterback is the highest paid player on the team, but he's not the best player. ... when you have that dynamic... there's always something when the guy making the most money is not the best player.
This will be AJ Brown's last season with the Philadelphia Eagles
This is my gut feeling. I think this is AJ Brown's last season in Philadelphia. I think regardless of whether they win the championship or not, I think they're gonna move on from him. And Howie Roseman will continue to do what he's done masterfully, which is rebuild this team.
