I'm not done believing in Sam Darnold yet

I'll do one worse. I'm not done believing in Sam Darnold yet. I mean, it's stupid. I know. That's way worse.

Darnold had a mini-resurgence with the Vikings in 2024, somewhat vindicating the long-term belief in his talent.

Tom Brady will never die

Tom Brady will never die. ... Even when he got the ball back again down seven or down six, you knew he was gonna win the game.

Brady won this game but eventually retired for good after the 2022 season following a playoff loss.

Tom Brady's arm is still there, but he clearly doesn't trust his offensive line anymore

His arm is still there. It's just that he doesn't trust his offensive line and it's so apparent... Because he doesn't want to get hit, why would you if you're 45 years old? He will bail out of plays early or he won't stand in it as long... He is dumping down constantly because he's like, I don't trust these guys.

While subjective, film analysis of the 2022 Bucs generally supported the idea that the offensive line was porous and Brady was getting the ball out faster than anyone in the league to avoid hits.

The Saints are afraid to play Jameis Winston because they know they mishandled his earlier injury

I have a conspiracy theory... I think the Saints know that they fucked up his injury when it happened when they put [Jameis Winston] back in. And I think that they're trying to make sure that they're doing the right thing for his health on the back end of it... That's why I think that we're not getting James. They're afraid to play him right now.

The Saints continued to start Andy Dalton over a healthy Winston for the remainder of the season, which fits the pattern, though the internal motivation remains unverified.

The Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade

I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.

The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.

The NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos

If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.

This is a humorous rule proposal, not a verifiable prediction.

The Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips

The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.

The success of the Panthers' defense with Phillips will determine if the overpay was justified.
