Christian McCaffrey is as good as the hype suggested in college

I never seen Christian play a day in my life, right? So I seen him play in the Rose Bowl. I said, you know what? He's nice. He's nice, nice. I thought it was hyping him up, but he has catch, he's fast, he can block. He does it all.

McCaffrey's career as an All-Pro and Offensive Player of the Year confirms he lived up to and exceeded the hype.

Passively watching the Pro Bowl is the football equivalent of the Masters for napping

The Pro Bowl really was like... The football equivalent of the Masters in terms of a great nap day, like a wonderful nap Sunday was watching neither offense or defensive line really get out of the three-point stances at all.

Subjective comparison of sporting events as nap fuel.

The Rams must win a Super Bowl in the next two years for the Stafford trade to be worth the lack of first-round picks

The Rams' window feels like it's pretty small here, and they have to kind of win a Super Bowl in the next two years before the fact that they haven't had a first-round draft pick in seven years is going to catch up.

The Rams won the Super Bowl in the 2021 season (the first year of the window), making this take prescient.

The Matthew Stafford trade lowered the market price for Deshaun Watson

Judging off my newfound expertise in the stock market, they'll look at this as being like, wow, that's one less buyer that we could have. So I guess the price is going down on Deshaun.

The Watson trade market eventually yielded three first-round picks from Cleveland, which was a higher price than Stafford's, suggesting the price did not go down.

Tom Brady text the entire team every morning at 5:30 AM before the Super Bowl saying we will win

He was just telling us, we will win this game. You know, our hard work we're doing throughout the week, you know, he made sure that, you know, just like we all did. It'd be 5:30 of the morning before. I guess he's the first person up. You know, he leads by example.

Multiple Buccaneers players confirmed receiving these motivational texts from Brady throughout the 2020 playoffs.

I want to stay with the Buccaneers if we can keep the team together

I would love to rejoin, you know, but things happen. If it doesn't work out, it happens. So just stay and pray it up and I'm going to let my agents and them deal with that. I think this team, we could do something special if we stay together again.

Fournette did re-sign with the Buccaneers on a one-year deal shortly after this interview.

The Patriots cheated the Jaguars in the 2017 AFC Championship game

I'm like, Tom, you a fucking cheater. You a cheater... I said, I know what happened. Y'all cheated us.

While 'cheating' is a strong word, the Miles Jack play is widely considered a blown call by officials that cost the Jaguars the game.
