The Pittsburgh Steelers are straight up frauds

The Pittsburgh Steelers are frauds straight up frauds. 11 and 0 to 11 and 3 losing as 14 point favorites to the Bengals. They are broken, they are hurt. They are damaged. And I don't know, like, has there ever been a team that's gone 11-0 and finished 11 and 5 and still going to the playoffs?

The Steelers finished 12-4 and lost in the Wild Card round at home to the Cleveland Browns, confirming the 'fraud' narrative for that season.

Eli Manning had the best retirement strategy by leaving early rather than hanging on like Big Ben

Who actually is coming out the biggest winner, Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning. Eli Manning retired first. He was the first to leave the party. Now he was obviously, when he got bad at the end, it was bad, but our lasting memories are now going to be a bad, bad Big Ben... Eli's just sitting, eating, whatever, like sloppy Joes... and he's going to end up being like, Oh, remember Eli. He was awesome. He never got bad. He's like, it is a great lesson. Like leave the party, be the first to leave.

This is subjective but historically supported; Roethlisberger played one more season in 2021 where his physical decline was heavily criticized, while Eli's 2019 season is often viewed more through a lens of nostalgia.

The Rams losing to the Jets might actually be a favor because it provides a wake-up call and could lead to a better playoff matchup against the NFC East winner.

The Rams may have actually done themselves a favor by losing [to the Jets]. One, little wake-up call... Number two is there is a possibility that that would make the Rams play against the NFC East winner in the playoffs. They have beaten every team in the NFC East.

The Rams didn't play the NFC East winner (Tampa Bay did); the Rams played the Seahawks in the Wild Card round. While they won that game, losing to the Jets is never a 'favor'.

Derrick Henry is one of the last running backs with a Hall of Fame case

He's gonna be one of the last running backs that's gonna go into the Hall. Hall of Fame for running backs is gonna get very difficult soon.

Hall of Fame selection is partly subjective, and the future class of running backs has not been determined.

The Bears' offense may be record-breaking under Ben Johnson

Ben Johnson said, 'We're trying to break the record,' and so far, obviously small sample size, one game, good start.

The Bears' full-season offensive output has not been resolved.

I am giving Ben Johnson total control

I will hand over all free will and thought and just give it to him and be like, whatever you say, I will just do whatever you decide. I will say, yes, that was the correct decision.

This is a subjective expression of confidence in a coach's decision-making.
