The Russell Wilson trade is one of the worst in sports history

Russell Wilson's trade, when looking back on it, the Broncos gave up two first round picks... two second round picks a fifth round pick Drew Lock, Shelby Harris, Noah Fant. And they got back Russell Wilson in a fourth round pick. And then they signed Russell Wilson to a $242 million contract. And he played for the Broncos for two terrible years. And yeah, I think it might be one of the worst trades in sports history.

The trade is widely regarded by sports analysts and historians as one of the most lopsided and disastrous trades in NFL history due to the assets lost and the dead money hit.

Russell Wilson will start at least 18 more games in the NFL

I think you asked me at the end of the season, like over under Russ Wilson starts 16 or 17 and a half more games. Yeah. I still take the over on it. I think that there's gonna be a team out there that's gonna sign him to be a starting quarterback next season.

Russell Wilson started 3 games for the Giants in 2025 and previously started 16 games for the Steelers in 2024, plus his prior starts. He exceeded 18 additional starts from when this take was made in March 2024.

Russell Wilson isn't a good quarterback anymore

I still would probably want Kirk Cousins [over Russell Wilson]. I don't think Russell Wilson's good anymore.

Russell Wilson started the 2024 season as a backup/injured for the Steelers before reclaimed the starting job and playing efficiently, showing he still had some starter-level ability.

The Giants should have franchise tagged Daniel Jones instead of signing him to a big contract

When Daniel Jones signed with the Giants, I think all of our reaction was the same. Which is like, you should actually, this is a case where you should pay your running back [Saquon Barkley] and you should franchise tag your quarterback.

The Giants' decision to pay Jones proved disastrous as his performance declined and he was eventually benched/released, while Saquon excelled elsewhere.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.
