I am now officially ready to take the Vikings for real

I am now officially ready to take the Vikings for real. I needed this win for them to take them fully for real. And Sam Darnold, maybe he is just different now.

The Vikings finished the season 12-5 and made the playoffs, proving they were indeed 'for real' despite preseason expectations.

The Ravens are all the way back after dominating the Bills

Looks like the Ravens are all the way back. ... The Ravens ascending back to what we expected preseason after an 0-2 start. ... It's just something about it [the all-black uniforms]. It adds like five points of strength to every player.

The Ravens finished 13-4 and secured the #1 seed in the AFC, proving they were indeed 'back' to elite status.

Derrick Henry is no longer a 'fat ass' and is back to his dominant self

Also Lamar Jackson is good now. He's no longer a fat ass. ... And yeah, Derrick Henry is, I mean he's 87-yard touchdown. I did not think Big D had an 87-yard touchdown still in his bag.

Derrick Henry went on to lead the NFL in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2024.

If the season ended today, Sam Darnold would be in the conversation for MVP

Thought experiment. If the season ended today, [Sam Darnold] might not be MVP, but he would be maybe second or third for MVP. ... I think Sam Darnold would be in that conversation.

At the 4-week mark, Darnold led the league in TDs and wins, putting him firmly in the early season MVP conversation.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.
