The 2017 Alabama recruiting class is the best of all time

The 2017 recruiting class that Nick Saban put together will probably go down as the best of all time. They are now—that is now eight first rounders from that class alone.

The 2017 Alabama class eventually produced a record-breaking number of first-round picks (including Tua, Mac Jones, DeVonta Smith, etc.), making this claim widely accepted by college football historians.

The 49ers created the best smokescreen in NFL draft history

I would not put that past Kyle Shanahan because this is the best smokescreen that I think I've ever seen in the NFL draft [leading people to believe they wanted Mac Jones].

The Niners did successfully keep their pick secret until the end, with many experts incorrectly predicting Jones to SF at #3.

The 49ers shouldn't have traded up to 3 for Mac Jones if he was available at 15

The point was the 49ers traded a lot to get up to 3, and you shouldn't take a guy at 3 that you could potentially have at 15 like the Patriots got.

The 49ers took Trey Lance at 3 and Jones fell to 15, so the value assessment was factually supported by the draft board, though subjective in terms of player quality.

Aaron Rodgers will go to the Broncos

I think [Aaron Rodgers] is going to go to Denver, and it's got to be an awesome life to be a Broncos fan. Because it's like, yeah, you get a couple seasons that are mixed in here and there, but then you just get good quarterbacks that just want to come to you. And Aaron Rodgers sounds like he wants to go there.

Rodgers did not go to Denver; he stayed with the Packers for two more seasons before being traded to the Jets in 2023.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
