The Vikings have the best defense in the NFL

But seriously, though, the Vikings look awesome. Their defense, I mean, best defense in the league. Probably.

The Vikings finished 6th in points allowed and 3rd in yards allowed in 2016. While elite, they weren't definitively #1 (the Broncos and Texans were ranked higher in several metrics).

The Chicago Bears are the worst team in the NFL

The Bears are the worst team in the NFL... No, they are. I said that. It was a definitive statement I said.

The Bears finished 3-13, which was the third-worst record in the league. The Cleveland Browns (1-15) and San Francisco 49ers (2-14) were statistically worse.

I'm still holding out hope for the Jaguars to turn their season around

I don't want to say the Jaguars [are the worst team] because I'm still jagging off. I'm still holding out hope for the Jags to turn things around.

The 2016 Jaguars finished with a 3-13 record and fired Gus Bradley, failing to turn the season around.

The Sam Bradford trade was a win for both the Vikings and the Eagles

I was the biggest winner because I said that it was a great trade for the Vikings and a great trade for the Eagles because the Eagles can now start Carson Wentz, who I believed in, and the Vikings now have Sam Bradford as a higher ceiling than whoever they were going to start.

Both teams benefited initially; Wentz had a promising rookie year and the Vikings went 5-0 before collapsing, though both missed the playoffs.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
