I am stronger now at 245 pounds than I was when I played at 265

I lost 15, 20 pounds. And the weight I lost, I call it bullshit weight... bloated weight. I'm actually stronger now. I'm 245 right now... I'm ripped. It feels good. I feel lighter. I feel quicker. I feel faster. I feel more energy.

Hard to verify 'strength' outside of specific lift numbers, but he claims he's better physically.

The Raiders were on a mission and would have beaten any team on Monday night after the Antonio Brown drama

The Raiders weren't going to lose last night. It could have been anybody. It could have been the 85 Bears out there... The Raiders were going to be on a mission from the get-go. They spent the entire week hearing about Antonio Brown, hearing about how they were going to suck, how they had no hope... Anytime that happens, especially before a Monday night game, the team's going to be motivated to play a little bit extra hard. That was a team that was going to beat anybody.

The Raiders did beat the Broncos 24-16 in that game, but finished the season 7-9 and didn't sustain that 'beat anyone' energy.

Joe Flacco shouldn't be a starting quarterback in the NFL anymore

Joe Flacco stinks. He's bad. He shouldn't be a starting quarterback in the NFL anymore. John Elway likes him because he's tall and he throws... He still throws a nice looking ball, but it's just nothing else is good.

Flacco was benched mid-season in 2019 for Drew Lock and eventually moved into a career backup role, proving he was no longer a viable franchise starter.

Vic Fangio's decision to kick a field goal down 21-6 with 10 minutes left was a loser's move

When [Vic Fangio] kicked that field goal down 21-6 with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, you need two touchdowns no matter what. He kicked a field goal to then need two touchdowns no matter what... why are you so afraid of not getting a fourth down when kicking a field goal is essentially admitting defeat there?

Subjective football strategy, though most modern analytics would agree with Big Cat that kicking there significantly lowers win probability.

Bill Belichick will stay with the Patriots next year

I truly believe that he will be here next year. But if he does go to another team like the Washington Commanders, I mean it doesn't really, you know, ri rival with the New England Patriots... But I just don't see that happening after this year. I think he'll definitely have another year to redeem himself.

Belichick and the Patriots mutually parted ways after the season in January 2024.

Sam LaPorta is the player most similar to my style of play

I'm gonna go with the guy from Detroit right now. He's a rookie, Sam La Porta... He's fast, he's got great hands on the run. He breaks tackles as well... and he is willing to block as well. I won't say he brings it to the table like I do in the block game, but I would say he brings, he's the most similar guy that's up and coming.

LaPorta had a historic rookie season, setting records for tight end receptions and being a key part of the Lions' deep playoff run.
