Matthew Stafford will be the MVP of the 2024 season

I like Matt Stafford 30 to 1 because it feels like he's due for the... everyone... you know, just picture yourself... and did you know he's never even received a vote for the MVP? I think this might be a narrative year with Matthew Stafford where it's like, you know, one of those, 'Hey, do we appreciate him enough?' 30 to 1 that when you watch that [late season] game, it's gonna be 5 to 1.

Stafford had a decent season but was not in the MVP conversation as the Rams struggled with injuries and Josh Allen/Lamar Jackson/Saquon Barkley dominated the narrative.

Allowing private equity investment in NFL teams will make the league 10% worse.

The NFL is considering approving private equity investment in teams... It means it's gonna suck. The league is gonna get 10% worse because private equity, they're gonna come in and they're just gonna try to figure out how to streamline everything. They're gonna fire all the mascots.

The NFL did eventually approve private equity investment in late August 2024, but the qualitative impact on the 'suckiness' of the league is subjective.

The Chiefs are guaranteed to win the Super Bowl now that they have cut Kadarius Toney.

Kadarius Toney has been cut. Oh no. Yeah. So the Chiefs just became Super Bowl champs. This is also very bad news for anybody that's playing against the Chiefs because Kadarius Toney was one of your better players if you were playing against the Chiefs last year. Just by him no longer being on the Chiefs, what was his WAR? It was probably like minus two last year.

PFT Commenter joked that cutting Kadarius Toney guaranteed the Chiefs a Super Bowl win. While clearly sarcastic, the take is resolvable: the Chiefs lost Super Bowl 59 to the Eagles 40-22.

The Chiefs will never win three Super Bowls in a row

Three in a row is really fucking hard to do... kind of the way you could also talk about it is there's 0% chance because it's never happened before. And if you know anything about gambling or life, if something's never happened, it will never happen.

The Chiefs did NOT win three Super Bowls in a row. They lost Super Bowl LIX to the Eagles 22-40. Big Cat was correct that three-peating was essentially impossible.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
