This will be the 'year before the year' for Justin Fields' breakout
I think this is the year before the year for Justin Fields. They added some weapons for him. He's gonna improve as a passer. He's gonna learn how to win... as the rushing yards come down, the passing yards go up. That's a good thing for a young quarterback.

View episodeThe Kansas City Chiefs are testing the public with the Travis Kelce and Chris Jones news to invite doubt before the season
They are testing us with the Kansas City Chiefs. First Chris Jones sits out, is maybe not gonna play week one. Now Travis unfortunately has a hyperextension in his knee... They're basically at the buzzer... saying, 'Hey, let's invite all the doubters... let's have this doubt creep in so that we can have that rat poison in the locker room.'
I am betting the Lions money line against the Chiefs in Week 1
I'm going Lions money line... I this is gonna be a coming out party of the Lions. We're all betting the Lions on Thursday, which is a terrible, terrible thing for the Lions. All due respect past me was a shithead... but we're all betting it.
I will never bet on the Los Angeles Chargers again
So here's one thing that I will trust. Pass me on. Do not believe the c words. Do not believe their lies. Right. I am not going, if I'm gonna move off the Chiefs, I'm not going to the team in Los Angeles. I'm not gonna do that.

View profileThe Bears are still a year away from being real contenders
I'm a little more realistic because I look at the schedule and see, you know, that they really have what—they played one team with a winning record and lost to 'em. I'm a little apprehensive... I just don't think this is their year. I think they're a year away.
Sam Darnold will eventually revert to his old, mistake-prone self because 'you are what you are'
Usually this league you are what you are. You're gonna have moments where you're up here... and moments when you're down here... eventually you're in the middle and that's who you are... [Sam Darnold] looked frazzled [last week] and that can't happen. It just can't happen in the big games... there's a Sam Darnold problem at least in my mind.
The 7-4 Chargers will miss the playoffs
They're not making the playoffs... and it's gonna come down to that Chiefs Chargers game and I think the Chiefs will beat 'em. They're seven and four, but if you look at their schedule, it's brutal. And that offensive line is horrible. Yanked [Penning] out of the game. It's a terrible offensive line.
