Texas is 'back' because their defense is finally legitimate

I'm counting Texas as back because their defense played better than they've played in, I don't know, 15 years. I can't even remember the last time that defense was 100% legit. It was awesome.

Texas finished 8-5 in 2022, a step forward but hardly 'back' to national championship contention until the following year.

Mike McCarthy is trying to get fired so Jerry Jones can hire Sean Payton

I think [McCarthy] has been trying to get fired for a while now. And he's doing everything that you would do if you were a coach trying to get fired, knowing that Jerry Jones is just gonna hire Sean Payton probably already has a handshake deal.

McCarthy remained the coach for two more seasons, while Sean Payton eventually went to the Broncos. McCarthy was not fired in the 2022 season.

The Patriots are no longer a perennial Super Bowl favorite

I'm think I'm just ready to fully admit that the Patriots are not the Patriots anymore. Yeah. They're not the Patriots that I grew up since I was nine years old... If the Patriots make the playoffs, that's a winning season.

Since this episode, the Patriots have struggled significantly, failing to win a playoff game and eventually moving on from Belichick.

Jahan Dotson is a good bet for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year

The past the passes to Johan Dotson were awesome. And Johan Dotson is I'm. I would put a future on him to get rookie of the year.

Garrett Wilson won the 2022 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Dotson had a solid season but was not the winner.

American sports dominance is officially over

Are we as a country washed? because this also is on the heels of shams announcing SGA back to back MVP and I think it's been like nine years, I believe eight years since an American has won the NBA MVP... and Aaron Rai, it's the second European to win a major this year and Europeans are now two and oh in majors for the first time since 1934.

While hyperbolically stated, the fact that international players have dominated NBA MVPs (Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, SGA) for nearly a decade is factual.

The Steelers will be stuck with a 7-10 win ceiling with Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers is back. I feel bad for Steelers fans... he's not the same quarterback... the Steelers just put a finite floor and ceiling on their season. Right? And it's somewhere between seven and 10 wins. That's what we're thinking.

Outcome depends on the 2026 NFL season results for the Steelers.

The Chicago White Sox are no longer a joke and could win the AL Central

White Sox are good. They're actually like, this is finally like, it's kind of, they're not a joke. They've got some sluggers. Big time dude... I don't know what the price is for them winning the AL Central, but they, they, they are not a bad team.

White Sox performance in the 2026 MLB season is ongoing.
