Bruce Arians is the primary name for the Packers head coaching job

Without question, the first name, and I think the only name... Bruce Arians has already been making noise about coaching the crowd. If I'm the Packers, I want Arians because I need somebody who's going to get through to Rodgers.

The Packers hired Matt LaFleur in January 2019. Bruce Arians became the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Firing Mike McCarthy mid-season was the right move for the Packers

I actually I think this is the right move just because that team clearly has quit on him... The Packers were so clearly going to fire him. Why not just put everyone out of their misery? This actually probably helps Mike McCarthy. He can go get another job now.

The Packers eventually hired Matt LaFleur and saw immediate success, while McCarthy took a year off before joining the Cowboys, supporting the idea that the split was necessary.

Melvin Gordon is the first or second best running back in the NFL

Melvin Gordon is like, I think – if not the best running back, probably the second best running back right now in the NFL.

In 2018, Todd Gurley and Christian McCaffrey were arguably better, and Saquon Barkley was a sensation, making Gordon top 2 a stretch even then.

I'm officially 'Done Chaining' the Carolina Panthers

I want to dun-chain the Panthers... The Panthers at 6-6 could easily catch someone and still get in the playoffs, but I honestly— Done chain them. I'm done chaining them. They're done. They don't have any fight. They look like shit.

The Panthers finished the 2018 season 7-9 and missed the playoffs, losing 7 of their final 8 games. Big Cat was exactly right.

The Hall of Fame needs to go back to the old 80% up-or-down voting system for each finalist

They should have forced the voters to say yes or no on Bill Belichick. And they need to go back to what's the easiest fix here. Go back to the system where the finalists each have an 80% up or down, yes or no vote like it used to be. It's fundamentally unfair.

This is an opinion about what the Hall of Fame should do with their voting process.

17 NFL teams will be playing in domes within the next 10 years

Seventeen teams are gonna be playing in domes within the next 10 years. The way things are currently going, the Chiefs are moving into a dome.

This is a forward-looking projection about stadium construction that will take years to verify.

The Browns will be looking for another coach within two or three years

I'm fairly confident they'll be looking for another coach within two or three years.

Whether the Browns fire Todd Monken within 2-3 years is beyond my knowledge cutoff.
