The Pac-12 is officially dead after Colorado's departure

Colorado's gonna be a Big 12 team. So Big 12 is basically torn apart. The Pac-12 rated it for all its parts. And I think this is like the Pac-12's done. They're done. I don't know who else is gonna go to the Big 12. Pac-12's done.

This was highly prescient as the Pac-12 essentially dissolved shortly after when almost all remaining members joined the Big Ten, Big 12, or ACC.

I officially have zero ill-will toward Aaron Rodgers and think he's a great teammate now that he took a pay cut

Aaron Rodgers. What a guy. Probably the greatest guy ever. I'm so happy that I've never said anything bad about Aaron Rodgers. He took a $35 million pay cut for the Jets, basically a big fuck you to the Packers. I think I officially have like no ill will towards Aaron Rodgers anymore. This one cemented it for me.

This is an opinion, though the premise (Rodgers taking a pay cut) actually happened.

Sean Payton is officially back to his old tricks of using bizarre motivational videos

Sean Payton is officially a hundred percent back. All the headlines are gonna be about how he said that [Nathaniel] Hackett did the worst job of coaching in the history of the NFL... To me, that was not the best part of the story. He is up to his old tricks. Sean Payton basically is a film director. He has his assistant Paul Kelly queue up a nature documentary that showed baby iguanas under attack from running snakes immediately after they hatched... he wanted to hammer home a point to his players of you have to hit the ground running.

The story about the iguana video was widely reported in the summer of 2023 following Payton's comments to USA Today.

Within the next 10 years there will be one massive college conference for top teams

What basically we're heading for right now is there's going to be one big conference at some point. And so we're readjusting the deck chairs on the Titanic... the reality is, within the next 10 years, I bet there's gonna be one conference that has the top teams in it.

Realignment is continuing with the expansion of the Big Ten and SEC toward mega-conferences.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.
