Mike Ditka is the true revolutionary of the tight end position because he was the first to have 1,000 receiving yards and enter the Hall of Fame.

Mike Ditka came on the scene two years before John Mackey. Mike Ditka was the first tight end to ever have a thousand yards receiving in a season—John Mackey never did that. Mike Ditka was also the first tight end to be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So I think if you want to do who revolutionized the position, he's the guy.

Ditka was indeed the first tight end with 1,000 yards (1,076 in 1961) and the first TE inducted into the Hall of Fame (1988).

Cam Newton was never given a decent wide receiver besides Steve Smith in Carolina

Cam Newton like was the Panthers... He also never had a really good wide receiver besides Steve Smith and got screwed out of probably some great years of his prime carrying a bad Panthers team to the Super Bowl in 2015... throwing for 35 touchdowns and running for ten touchdowns... and his wide receivers were Ted Ginn, Devin Funchess, Corey Brown and the 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery. That's incredible.

Newton's receiving corps outside of Greg Olsen (TE) and early Steve Smith was notoriously thin during his prime years, supporting this take.

Jon Gruden will want to sign Cam Newton because he falls in love with every QB he broadcasts

That's a big time Jon Gruden move. I could see Gruden going after [Cam Newton] because Gruden probably fell in love with Cam Newton watching him in the booth on Monday Night Football. That's what Gruden does—if he broadcasts a couple of your games where you play well, he's just like, he instantly will fall in love with you.

Gruden did not sign Cam Newton; Newton signed with the Patriots.

The 2026 Thanksgiving Day schedule is the best single day of football ever

Wednesday night is the Packers versus the Rams. Then Thursday, Thanksgiving day is Bears, lions, Eagles, Cowboys, chiefs bills. That will be great. Like the day of Thanksgiving? Yeah. That's the best day of football I think maybe ever.

Whether it's the 'best day ever' is a matter of personal opinion and game quality.

Pittsburgh fleeced Boston in the gorilla trade

I think Boston got fleeced. Frankie got traded, 7-year-old. Frankie got traded to the Boston Zoo. He's going to just be chilling with a bunch of other dudes. Little Joe got traded to Pittsburgh because he's going to be mating and making new gorilla. Pittsburgh's the one that's gonna be making more gorillas. You guys are do everything all wrong. They're, they're making a gorilla factory in Pittsburgh.

Evaluating zoo conservation efforts through the lens of a sports trade is inherently comedic and subjective.
