No NFL team has ever completed the 'bird gauntlet' of beating every bird team in a single season

The bird gauntlet is playing against all of the bird teams. And no NFL team has ever beaten the bird gauntlet. It's never happened. ... No team has ever beaten every bird team in a single season in the history of the NFL.

This is a statistically true fact given NFL scheduling and rarity of playing all five bird teams (Eagles, Falcons, Ravens, Seahawks, Cardinals) in one year.

The Dallas Cowboys are basically the same team they were last year

Dallas fans are so confident right now, as they should be. You're a good team, but you're basically the same team that you've been, or that you were last year at least. Yeah. Well, well, Mike McCarthy is the same guy that he was last year.

The Cowboys finished 12-5 for the third straight year and suffered another early, embarrassing playoff exit (Wild Card vs Packers), validating the take that they hadn't actually changed their ceiling.

Dak Prescott is a legitimate NFL MVP candidate because he's taking better care of the football than last year

Dak Prescott's playing way better than last year. He is playing out of his mind. ... Last year he finished the season 23 touchdowns, 15 interceptions. This season through week 13, he's 23 touchdowns, six interceptions. He's having an awesome, awesome year. And he's up there for MVP.

Dak Prescott finished 2nd in the 2023 NFL MVP voting behind Lamar Jackson, so he was definitely a 'legitimate candidate'.

The Chiefs-Rams Trent McDuffy trade is the first true win-win trade in NFL history

I think the only win-win trade in the history of the NFL might be the McDuffy trade. The one that just happened. Where the the Chiefs traded McDuffy to the Rams. The Rams don't give a fuck about first round picks. They got a great player and they still have their better first round pick from the Falcons. That to me is the first win-win trade in the history of the NFL.

Subjective assessment of trade value over time.

The Rams have proven that first-round draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter

Are the Rams doing it correctly? Not that draft picks don't matter. Draft picks outside of the top 10 don't matter as much... instead of taking risks on a bunch of 21 year olds, let's get the known commodity knowing it's a crapshoot and just keep punting that down the line being like, we don't care.

This is a subjective organizational philosophy that has yielded mixed results for other teams, though the Rams have remained competitive.

Alec Pierce is about to get a massive contract in free agency

I think Alec Pierce is about to get paid too. I think the market on Alec Pierce is gonna be crazy. Possible Patriot. Possible Commander.

Pierce remained on his rookie contract through 2024; he did not hit free agency or get a 'crazy' bag in 2025.
