It is way too early to call Tua Tagovailoa a bust and he needs more time to develop.

Tua had major hip surgery a year ago. Basically an abbreviated offseason. Like we got to give the guy a chance to see like what he has. ... Obviously this is a consequential year but I think sometimes like we move on from guys way too fast.

Tua Tagovailoa eventually developed into a Pro Bowl quarterback and league leader in passer rating, proving that 'bust' labels in 2021 were premature.

I'm taking the over on the Hall of Fame game's 32.5 point total.

I think the over-under was like 32.5 tonight. Take me over. The Hall of Fame game has changed where it used to be you'd get maybe like a series of the starters. Now we get nothing.

The Steelers beat the Cowboys 16-3, resulting in a total of 19 points, well under the 32.5 mark.

I'm taking the Cowboys to win the Hall of Fame Game because Mike McCarthy wants to set a tone for Hard Knocks.

For that reason, I'm going to take the Cowboys in the game tonight just because I think that McCarthy, he knows that Jerry Jones has his, like, Emperor Palpatine breath breathing down his neck all the time. So he wants to set a tone, and he knows that he's on Hard Knocks.

The Cowboys lost the Hall of Fame game to the Steelers 16-3.

The US men's 4x100 relay team is terrible.

So our four by 100 team sucks. And there were like a lot of people who were like, this is a debacle. How are we so bad at this? ... I really just don't care. Like, I want us to win, but if we don't, I don't lose any sleep over it.

The US men's 4x100 team failed to qualify for the final after a disastrous 6th-place heat finish.

If Justin Herbert had played in the SEC, he would have been the number one overall pick.

I scouted [Justin Herbert] for two years. I go to ESPN, and I'm standing on the table like, I want this guy... And I said it, which was if Justin Herbert played in the SEC, he would have been the number one pick in the draft. But he's quiet. He's in Oregon.

This is a hypothetical claim that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

The Packers will not blink in the Aaron Rodgers standoff until he actually skips a regular season game.

Green Bay will not blink or even think about blinking until [Aaron Rodgers] doesn't show up. Now, when he doesn't show up, now they're going to take a half a step back and say, hey, can we get three ones from Denver? ... But until then, they're going to assume that, hey, he's bad like a lot of us are at his boss, but when rubber meets the road, he's going to show up.

Aaron Rodgers reported for the 2021 season, played all 17 games, and won the NFL MVP award.

I am betting against the Los Angeles Rams' 'stars and scrubs' roster model paying off.

It's a huge calculated risk that may pay off, but if I had to bet, I'm betting against it... they're saying, F that. Like, we're going to get Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald. Like, we're going to go play five against 11. But our five are so good, we're going to win. I think when you look at their offensive line guys, they are paper thin.

The 2021 Los Angeles Rams went on to win Super Bowl LVI, proving the model was successful for that season.
