NFL parity is just a myth for everyone being bad

They have convinced us that the NFL has extreme parity when in reality it's just everyone sucks. So you can make the playoffs because everyone sucks except for maybe five teams, four teams.

This is a subjective critique of league quality often discussed by analysts during eras of dominant dynasties.

Rams-49ers was the worst NFL game of the year

It was probably the shittiest game. I'm just going to say it. It was the worst game I've ever seen in the NFL in the last year.

The 2016 season had several poor games, but this 28-0 49ers win is widely cited as one of the least watchable primetime games in years.

I blame college football for the poor quality of NFL play

I put the blame squarely on college football. That's how big of a pro football guy I am. It's like they're not ready when they get here. The kids are younger, so they grew up in [Roger] Goodell's head injury-less system. And so now they get into the NFL, and they don't know how to – they can't get tackled.

This is a subjective opinion on the quality of player development and the impact of safety rules, which cannot be definitively proven.

Jeff Fisher is on the hot seat because Hollywood demands style and points

I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm gonna say Jeff Fisher... You live in Hollywood. You got to score some points. Flash. They've canceled series out in Hollywood for less than just a week one dud... If you don't get the results, I think that he's going to be on the hot seat.

Jeff Fisher was indeed fired later that season (December 2016) after a 4-9 start, making this correct.
