Ben Simmons is still very talented and the 76ers had to trade him while his value existed

I still think [Ben Simmons] is talented... but yeah, I mean, if you put Ben Simmons with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, those guys are so fucking good... [The Sixers] just needed to do it. Ben Simmons was not playing. We needed to do something.

Subjective assessment of talent and trade logic.

The Cincinnati Bengals will defeat the Los Angeles Rams 24-20

I still think it's going to be like 24-20 Cincinnati... I'm reverting back fully to what I felt on Monday morning and I'm going to stick with the Bengals.

The Rams won 23-20.

If Aaron Donald wins Super Bowl MVP, he is in the discussion for best defensive player ever

Aaron Donald, if he wins a Super Bowl and a Super Bowl MVP, he now is absolutely in the discussion for best defensive player of all time. He's already a Hall of Famer... there's only been like two or three guys who've been All-Pro eight out of their first nine years.

While Donald won the Super Bowl and is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, Cooper Kupp won the MVP. The debate for 'greatest defensive player ever' usually still centers on Lawrence Taylor.

Losing to a former assistant in the Super Bowl is a worse legacy stain than losing to Bill Belichick

Losing to your assistant in your second Super Bowl, when it's his first Super Bowl, that is way worse and that will be the reason why the narrative is there. It won't have anything to do with Belichick or the Patriots... if [Sean McVay] loses this game and loses to his former assistant, that's a much harder pill to swallow.

McVay won the game, so the hypothetical 'can't win the big one' label was avoided.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
