Trevor Lawrence will win NFL MVP and the Jaguars have the league's best skill positions

I'm gonna put a lot of money on [Trevor Lawrence] winning the MVP. 'cause the odds have gotta be insane. And he's so good. And now having Calvin Ridley... I don't know if you've seen the clips from their camp. Calvin Ridley's a freak. The Jags might have across the board the best skill positions.

Lamar Jackson won the 2023 MVP. Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars struggled down the stretch, missing the playoffs entirely, and Lawrence was not in the MVP conversation.

Gambling regulators simply do not like Barstool Sports

Turns out regulators maybe don't love Barstool, don't love us. And I get that. It's totally makes sense. I think Penn had the same thought, like, Hey, we thought this was gonna work out maybe a little better with regulators. It didn't. So we are back to being ourselves independent.

The regulatory hurdles faced by Penn due to Barstool's brand were well-documented in licensing hearings in states like Massachusetts and Ohio.

I don't think any of the content on Pardon My Take changed while the company was owned by Penn

In terms of the content of this show, I don't think we changed anything. Did we, PFT? ... It's just been how we've talked about gambling, which I understand that was part of the, the rules And it made sense for to, to make sure that we talked about gambling the correct way under pen.

Whether content changed is subjective, though fans often debated if the show became more 'corporate' during the Penn era.

I am officially an Aaron Rodgers fan for the 2023 season

I've never seen Aaron Rogers happier. He looks so happy. He looks so relaxed. I'm so happy for him. ... Aaron Rogers, the shackles are off. He looks like he can be himself. ... He's a great fucking guy. Great football player. I've always loved Aaron Rogers this year. That's a fact. You can't dispute that fact.

Big Cat's fandom is a personal stance. Rodgers got injured 4 snaps into the season, ending the 'happy' narrative quickly.

Trevor Lawrence sucks at throwing the deep ball

I don't think [Trevor Lawrence] sucks, but he definitely sucks throwing the deep ball, which makes him suck. And they don't really have anybody to catch it either... some of the throws that he's made when people are wide open... he just can't make 'em.

Lawrence's deep-ball accuracy remained a statistical point of contention throughout 2022, though he improved significantly in the second half of the season.

I will get both my big toenails removed if Trevor Lawrence doesn't reach an AFC Championship on his rookie contract

I'm so confident that Trevor Lawrence isn't a bust. If they don't make the AFC Championship on his rookie contract, I will get... five years... I will come up wherever we're recording. I will go [get] both of my big toenails removed.

Trevor Lawrence's rookie contract (including the 5th year option) runs through the 2025 season. As of now, he has not reached an AFC Championship game.

The United States should bomb the outback of Australia just to show we're still crazy

We need to bomb somebody. Not that we really care. Some open area. Like the outback of Australia. Nobody lives there. Kangaroos. Fuck up some kangaroos. ... Just to show [Russia], look how fucking crazy we are.

This is a satirical policy suggestion, not a factual prediction.
