In the 'rest vs. rust' debate, I will always choose rest because professional players don't forget how to play in seven days

I'm always gonna be rest, man. I think we're professional. Like these dudes are not 12 years old where you gotta get them motivated. We're grown men. Taking a week off when I've been playing football and practicing football from mid-July until January, taking a week off is not really gonna do anything to hurt me. I don't feel people that come up with this rest versus rust debate obviously have never played.

This is a subjective philosophy on player management.

If the Dallas Cowboys win the Super Bowl, I will get a cat

I am here right now on Friday the 13th, ready to declare that if the Dallas Cowboys win the Super Bowl, I will get a cat.

The Cowboys lost in the Divisional Round to the 49ers, so Big Cat did not have to get a cat.

Tony Romo has become annoying and fans will officially turn against him during these playoffs

Tony Romo has gotten so much more annoying and his noises and his stepping on Jim Nance. I actually think Jim Nance doesn't really like him anymore. And I think it's gonna prove true in these playoffs. I guarantee you that people are gonna start shifting to our side in these 2022-2023 playoffs.

Public sentiment did significantly shift against Romo's broadcasting style during the 2023 playoffs and the 2023-24 season.

The Bills will blow out the Dolphins because Miami cannot score more than 13 points with Skylar Thompson

I would take the Bills even if they were like minus 17 at this point. Skylar Thompson is playing... I don't know how they score more than, let's say 13 points. It's gonna be an ass kicking. It's gonna be a whomping. The Dolphins with Tua scored 25 and a half points a game; without, they've scored 16.3. The Bills get to 30, we cover the spread.

The Bills won 34-31. While they scored over 30 as predicted, they did not cover the 13-point spread as the Dolphins scored way more than 13.

The Los Angeles Rams are the most trustworthy team in the NFL right now

If you force me to pick one, I'd probably say the Rams. Matthew Stafford is playing at an MVP level. The defense is young, it's outstanding. ... I clearly trust the Rams more than anybody. I think they've been the most consistent team so far.

The Rams were one of the most trustworthy (12-5, MVP QB, NFCCG), but the Seahawks (14-3, SB champs) were ultimately more trustworthy.

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.

The ranking of 'best player' is subjective, though the compensation is a fact.

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.

Whether Brown is traded or released after the 2025 season is pending.
