Carson Wentz is a bad backup quarterback

I still think Carson Wentz, even though he is better than a lot of backup quarterbacks, probably doesn't fill the backup quarterback role very well. ... You want your backup quarterback to be able to fill in for like one game. ... Chase Daniel is way better than Carson Wentz at the role of backup.

Wentz eventually signed with the Rams as a backup and played well in a Week 18 start, showing he could handle the one-game fill-in role effectively.

Gambling regulators simply do not like Barstool Sports

Turns out regulators maybe don't love Barstool, don't love us. And I get that. It's totally makes sense. I think Penn had the same thought, like, Hey, we thought this was gonna work out maybe a little better with regulators. It didn't. So we are back to being ourselves independent.

The regulatory hurdles faced by Penn due to Barstool's brand were well-documented in licensing hearings in states like Massachusetts and Ohio.

Whether content changed is subjective, though fans often debated if the show became more 'corporate' during the Penn era.

I am officially an Aaron Rodgers fan for the 2023 season

I've never seen Aaron Rogers happier. He looks so happy. He looks so relaxed. I'm so happy for him. ... Aaron Rogers, the shackles are off. He looks like he can be himself. ... He's a great fucking guy. Great football player. I've always loved Aaron Rogers this year. That's a fact. You can't dispute that fact.

Big Cat's fandom is a personal stance. Rodgers got injured 4 snaps into the season, ending the 'happy' narrative quickly.

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.
