The Saints are like $92 million over the cap next year... How is that even real? Drew Brees has already told them that he will retire. That's the only way they can do that.

Drew Brees did officially retire following the 2020 season, making this correct.

The Buccaneers are still top-tier contenders because they can win with their C-game

I'm not going to like ding [the Bucs] for that because... you didn't get a A+ effort from the box and they still won with their C game, which actually is a better sign for... it's like very good. It was a trap game.

The Bucs went on to win the Super Bowl this season, proving Big Cat's 'contender' label correct.

Bill Belichick is actually doing his best coaching job this year

Bill Belichick is actually doing his best coaching job this year... He's not totally wrong when he says [they have no money]. The Patriots are paying Brady, they're paying Antonio Brown still, they're in dead cap space.

The Patriots finished 7-9, their first losing season since 2000. While impressive given the roster, 'best coaching job' is a massive stretch considering his six Super Bowls.

The Saints could destroy the NFL's monopoly by suing over salary cap interference

If the Saints sue the NFL being like, 'Hey, you're interfering with the free market. We should be able to pay people whatever we want.' Then that case goes to like the Supreme Court. NFL loses its monopoly. The Saints could blow up the NFL if they want.

The Saints did not sue the NFL over the cap, nor did it reach the Supreme Court.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.
