Craig Counsell to the Cubs is a sign the team is ready to spend and compete for World Series titles again

I also think this is the sign that the Cubs are ready to start spending and start competing for World Series again. Because you're not Craig Counsell... you don't go to the Cubs, your rival... unless you have a deal in place from Jed and Tom Ricketts being like, 'Hey, we're going for this.'

The Cubs did sign Shota Imanaga and re-signed Cody Bellinger, but they were not the biggest spenders in the league and missed the playoffs in Counsell's first year (2024).

Josh Dobbs with zero practice reps would be a better fit for the Jets offense than Zach Wilson

Honestly, I think if they had Josh Dobbs at quarterback, they could figure it out. Josh Dobbs with zero practice reps is probably a better fit for that offense than Zach Wilson is.

While subjective, Dobbs performed well for the Vikings shortly after arriving without practice, while Wilson continued to struggle for the Jets.

The Jets are the second-best team in the NFC

NFC standings took a hit [this week]. I put Lions one, Jets two, 49ers three, Seahawks four, Eagles five.

The Jets play in the AFC, not the NFC, and they finished the 2023 season 7-10, nowhere near the top of any power rankings.

Aaron Rodgers is trolling the media and is not actually close to coming back from his Achilles injury

My theory about Aaron Rodgers is he is, he's a troll. He loves trolling. He loves fucking with the media a little bit... I don't think that he's gonna come back in a couple weeks. I think he's doing this knowing that the media will see him on TV and talk about Aaron Rodgers coming back.

Aaron Rodgers did not return during the 2023 season, despite his teases, proving PFT's skepticism correct.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
