The Eagles are being slept on and will likely win 11 games because no one expected it

I just think the Eagles have been slept on a little bit. I think their offensive line and defensive line are very good. And we went kind of deciding how the NFC East was going to go. Wouldn't it be perfect for the NFC East if the team that was least talked about going into the season? That's what always happens. All right, yeah, so they'll probably go 11-6 somehow.

The 2021 Eagles finished 9-8 and made the playoffs as a wildcard, while the Cowboys won the division. Big Cat was directionally right about them being better than expected but wrong on the 11 wins.

Taylor Heinicke has 'it'

I think Taylor Heinicke has it. I don't know what it is. He's got something. He's got it. The Heineking is what they're calling him.

Heinicke became a cult hero in DC but eventually settled back into a journeyman/backup role, suggesting he had the moxie but lacked the high-end talent to be a franchise savior.

Standalone primetime NFL games that look bad on paper are almost always guaranteed to be awesome

If anything we've learned with the NFL... when you have a game that you say to yourself, this game stinks, it's a standalone primetime game. It is almost always guaranteed to be fucking awesome. Because that game ruled. It was chaos.

This is a subjective 'rule of thumb' about sports entertainment that can't be objectively proven.

Daniel Jones is the fastest player in the NFL

He's the fastest player in the NFL that's what next gen stats taught us last year he was faster than Lamar Jackson

While Jones did record the fastest top speed in 2020 (21.23 mph), he is not consistently the fastest player compared to Tyreek Hill or Lamar Jackson.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
