The Lions and Dan Campbell have successfully built a culture of grit and trenches-first football

I definitely think that there's a culture that you create that starts to represent how you play on the field. And that's what Dan [Campbell] has done. And the reason I like Dan Campbell is... Dan sees it the same way I do from the inside out. You know, you gotta be able to run the football. Well, you gotta focus on the offensive line, you gotta control everything there.

The Lions did indeed build this culture, leading to a successful 2023 season where they won the division and reached the NFC Championship.

The Steelers are my surprise team for the 2023 season

Kenny Pickett. Yes. Two touchdown drives. Diced them up. Diced him up. ... Steelers Look ready to go. Steelers are my surprise team. Yeah. No one's talking about the Steelers. We are.

The Steelers finished 10-7 and made the playoffs as a Wild Card, but they weren't a major 'surprise' contender in the AFC.

Trey Lance sucks and doesn't know how to play football

Trey Lance sucks. Yeah. Well that's, doesn't even know how to play football. ... The one clip of him throwing, just standing there with no pressure while guys were open, feeling pressure that wasn't there, and then mis-throwing it. That was a bad look.

Lance was traded to the Cowboys and remained a backup; his career trajectory currently supports the 'not an NFL-caliber starter' view.

Bijan Robinson is already the best running back of all time

My other one is Bijan Robinson is the best running back of all time. That was a great, great performance by him. That's, he's a clip monster. Everyone's like, look at this. It's just Bijan finding [room].

Bijan had a very good rookie season, but is obviously not the literal greatest running back of all time.

College basketball has five absolutely dominant teams this year

We have five, you could even maybe go to six, just absolutely dominant teams. Michigan, UConn, Duke, Arizona, and Florida that are playing at such an insane level.

The dominance of these teams will be tested in the upcoming NCAA tournament in March 2026.

Florida can win the national championship because they can shoot threes now

Florida though, I've been talking about Florida for three weeks. They could shoot threes now. They absolutely kicked [Arkansas's]... They just throttle teams. All four of [Duke, Michigan, Arizona, Florida] would be the best team in the previous five years.

Whether Florida wins the title or performs as an elite team will be decided by the end of March Madness.

Miami of Ohio will make the tournament even if they lose in the conference tournament

I'm saying right now, winning every... If they go undefeated in the conference, that is so hard to do. I think if they go undefeated in the conference and then lose in the conference tournament, I think they will be in.

This will be resolved on Selection Sunday, March 15th, 2026.
