Baker Mayfield will be a successful quarterback for the Cleveland Browns

I actually think this [Baker Mayfield] is going to work, and I know that's like stepping out on a very, very thin branch saying a Browns quarterback that they drafted really high might actually work, but I like Baker Mayfield. I like him a lot. I think that he is a very, very good quarterback and I like the competitiveness.

Baker Mayfield had initial success with the Browns, leading them to their first playoff win in decades, but was eventually traded after inconsistencies and injuries. He didn't become the long-term franchise savior but was better than most previous Browns QBs.

Josh Allen is a perfect fit for the Buffalo Bills because he has big hands for the cold weather

I think that's a great fit for Bills Mafia. I think it's a great fit for, you know, people forget it's cold. Cold, windy, snowy up there. Big hands. Josh Allen checks off all those boxes. Fucking awesome.

Josh Allen became one of the best quarterbacks in the league and a perfect fit for the Buffalo franchise and weather.

Josh Rosen is the best passer in the 2018 NFL Draft class

Josh Rosen, I like Josh Rosen. I had him ranked number one on the Big Cat Big Board because I think he's the best passer.

Josh Rosen struggled significantly in the NFL, was traded after one year by the Cardinals, and never established himself as a starter, let alone the best passer of the class which included Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

Connor McDavid is playing the best hockey of his career in this Olympic tournament

I don't know if McDavid's ever been this good... It's incredible. Like I think he gave guys maybe six or seven grade A scoring chances. He had seven shots on his own. Then the Finnish coach today said, yeah, McDavid is the best player in this tournament by a mile.

McDavid's brilliance is widely acknowledged, though 'best ever' is always debatable.

Sidney Crosby's Olympic injury is likely an MCL sprain

He was trying to stabilize on his right leg and it just, it opened up, which to me speaks MCL sprain... I'm hoping it's not too bad and it's just a grade one, maybe two MCL sprain.

Ryan Whitney correctly diagnosed Sidney Crosby's Olympic injury as an MCL sprain. Former NFL doctor David Chao confirmed Crosby likely sustained a low-grade left knee MCL sprain after his collision with Radko Gudas. Crosby missed the rest of the Olympics and was placed on IR for at least four weeks upon returning to the Penguins.

Team USA has a better defensive corps than Canada, but Canada has significantly better forwards

The D's better overall. I believe their forwards are significantly better than ours... Crosby being out, it's scary. And if he's out, that's a big difference... On D our D's better, their forwards are better.

A widely held scouting assessment of the two 2026 Olympic rosters.
