The Philadelphia Eagles are headed toward a dynasty

I was the first one to say that Philly is headed towards Dynasty. That's what I said this summer in Philly... if they had the right hand on the stairwell and the right hand on the center, if these hands work out, they can be doing something for quite a while.

The Eagles won Super Bowl LIX, beating the Chiefs 40-22 — their second Super Bowl appearance in three years. Not a dynasty yet, but trending in that direction.

Lance McCullers Jr. was tipping his pitches against the Phillies

Lance McCullers was tipping all of his pitches tonight. And you saw it from the start. Like Bryce [Harper], when he went yard, he told everybody in the Phillies dugout, he's like, This guy's tipping his pitches. A bunch of stuff went viral online where you could see like the high leg kick. You could see the back leg being straight and the Phillies hit all their home runs off sinkers curves, changeups things like that.

Post-game analysis and various experts confirmed McCullers was likely tipping his pitches based on his delivery mechanics.

Jeff Wilson Jr. is the sneaky best move of the NFL trade deadline

I actually think Jeff Wilson is like the sneaky best move of the day because you have a running back who knows the Shanahan system who can now run Mike McDaniel's system. Like that was, that's one of those ones where it just, it's under the radar because there are bigger names.

Wilson had a productive rest of the season for Miami, including a big role in the offense, validating the 'sneaky' fit.

Justin Fields is officially the guy for the Chicago Bears

The argument that everyone made in the off season that the Bears were ruining Justin Fields by not getting him anyone. You can't then complain that they went and got [Chase Claypool]. I got my guy, I'm feeling confident about having my guy. I have, I have a guy. He is the guy... he's officially the guy. Build around Justin Fields. Everything else doesn't matter.

Fields had a historic rushing season in 2022 but was eventually traded to the Steelers in 2024 after the Bears chose to draft Caleb Williams #1 overall, meaning he was ultimately not 'the guy' long-term for them.

The 90s Cowboys would have won five straight Super Bowls if Jimmy Johnson stayed

We often talk about we would've could've won five straight, [with Jimmy Johnson] but it didn't happen that way.

Counterfactual history that cannot be proven.

George Pickens will be a phenomenal talent for the Cowboys

Phenomenal talent [George Pickens]... imagine what he must feel like Right now with a Dak Prescott that quarterback. Yeah.

Fictional scenario within the episode's context.

Tony Pollard is the best running back of the weekend over Derrick Henry

Tony Pollard's number one, because he took 15 rushes to get 131 yards. It's not just the number of yards. It's also how many times did I touch the ball to get it? Derrick Henry, I think had 32 carries for 219 yards... Parlor, we can't run him 30 times. That's not him. But yes, I believe that he's a true playmaker.

Pollard averaged 8.7 YPC while Henry averaged 6.8 YPC that weekend. While Henry's volume was higher, Irvin's point on efficiency is factually supported for that specific window.
