Ben Roethlisberger is retiring at the perfect time, walking away a year early rather than a year too late

I just think that it's good that Big Ben is doing this the right way. He's choosing to walk away from the game one year too early instead of one year too late. That's always how you want to see somebody go out.

Roethlisberger officially retired in January 2022 and did not attempt a comeback, successfully walking away.

The Bears' new coaching regime under Matt Eberflus will likely be fired in a few years

This new regime of Matt [Eberflus] and Ryan [Poles] is probably going to be fired, which that is very funny that they just did that again. It's probably going to be fired in a few years anyway.

Matt Eberflus was hired in January 2022 and fired in December 2024, confirming Big Cat's 'few years' prediction.

The Bears should have hired an offensive coach to pair with Justin Fields instead of Matt Eberflus

I was looking at that and I was a little conflicted. You have a young quarterback and we've seen with all these other teams when they're surrounding these guys with those quarterback whispers, whatever you want to call it, these offensive minded coaches, we've seen a lot of success... I personally would have went to the opposite direction of [defensive minded].

Justin Fields struggled under Eberflus and was eventually traded to the Steelers, and Eberflus was fired after failing to develop a consistent offense.

Kyler Murray's bad body language and lack of sideline chemistry suggest he isn't a great leader

Something that I've noticed about Kyler [Murray] in the last, maybe three games of the regular season... in that playoff game, the body language from him, like he never had any of his teammates ever around him on the sideline... He always looked like he was either bored or like very sad to be at the games. And yeah. So I think it does make a difference.

Murray's leadership was a recurring storyline, later punctuated by the 'independent study' clause in his contract.

The ACC tournament belongs in Greensboro and it's not the same anywhere else

I grew up loving the ACC tournament. I don't love it anymore because it's not in Greensboro. The ACC is a North Carolina League. It's a tobacco league. Put it back in Greensboro.

This is a subjective preference about the historical home of a conference tournament.

The Ravens failed Max Crosby's physical intentionally to pivot to Trey Hendrickson

It's almost like they had it ready to go. They pivot to Trey Hendrickson. It feels like they had, by the letter of the law, they had the ability to fail [Crosby] for the physical because he's not ready to play. Technically the Ravens didn't break any rules, they just used it to get someone better that just came available.

This is a satirical bit; Crosby and Hendrickson did not have these transactions in real life.

The NFL will launch a spring game within a matter of years

We're a matter of years away, not decades, from the NFL doing a spring game. I think I might be into that. One spring game, just like college football. It would be kind of sick.

This is a long-term prediction about NFL business strategy.
