The Washington Commanders name won't matter once the season starts

The team name, I think I said it on Wednesday's show, but, like, people get mad about it for 24 hours. No one, like, will remember it, care. Then football will be back, and we'll be like, who cares? It's not going to be – I don't think it makes or breaks anything.

The name remains controversial and unpopular with the fan base years later, and there are ongoing discussions about changing it again under new ownership.

The NFL will force Stephen Ross to sell the Miami Dolphins

I think that they're going to force him [Stephen Ross] to sell the team. I think this is the only way that an owner could be forced to sell. Because owners have so many skeletons in their closet that they're never going to vote another guy out... But when you start involving like changing the outcomes of games and bribing coaches, things like that. I feel like this is, this is a great excuse for owners to try to sell the team or try to vote them out.

As of early 2025, Stephen Ross still owns the Miami Dolphins. He was suspended and fined following an investigation into tampering, but not forced to sell for the tanking allegations.

Major Biden should be the animal mascot for the Washington Commanders

I'm hoping that since we're the commanders, which is the name of one of Joe Biden's dogs, the good one, Major Biden becomes the animal mascot. That'd be awesome to have him just patrolling the sidelines, biting the opponent, pissing and shitting all over himself. That's what I want.

The Commanders eventually debuted 'Major' the Hog as their mascot in 2023, not the President's dog.

I am on the same career track as Ryan Fitzpatrick

I can see myself, kind of like him [Ryan Fitzpatrick], kind of the same ride, everything... Throughout his career, he just jumped from place to place and was back up and then kind of thrown in and back up and thrown in. And I feel like I'm kind of on that track, hopefully on that track.

This has proven accurate as Heinicke has since moved from Washington to Atlanta to LA, serving as a high-end backup and occasional starter.

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

The bounty itself is a factual offer made by the hosts.

Tua Tagovailoa's market value is non-existent relative to his contract

Everything's on the table for the Dolphins. Tua could be a fullback. What would you... What do you think the Dolphins would say yes to for a trade for Tua? Like a sixth round pick for Tua? A jugs machine? I don't know what the hell would Tua's market be?

The Dolphins' internal view on 'everything being on the table' is a subjective claim about team strategy.
