This might be Mike Tomlin's best coaching job ever

This might be Mike Tomlin's best coaching job ever. And it's crazy when they were 7-4, they were also like the most Mickey Mouse 7-4 of all time. But that's because Mike Tomlin is a pretty damn good coach. And so he was able to win all those games when they were getting outgained back to back to back.

The Steelers finished 10-7 and made the playoffs despite a difficult mid-season stretch and QB turnover, validating the claim of a high-level coaching performance.

I hate watching playoff football on an app like Peacock

I hate the experience of watching a game on an app as opposed to watching on TV, where you can easily and elegantly and seamlessly flip back and forth and show off your skills going back to the game right as it's about to snap again... it's a playoff game and it stinks.

This is a subjective preference about the viewing experience.

The Jaguars' collapse was caused by the 'Curse of the Terrible Towel'

Since the Jaguars disrespected the towel [The Steelers' Terrible Towel], the Jaguars slid into oblivion. The Steelers end up taking the Jaguar's playoff spot right on the last day of the season. You can't argue otherwise.

The Jags did fall from 8-3 to out of the playoffs, though obviously not due to a literal curse.

Only four NFL teams would say no to trading their QB for CJ Stroud right now

How many teams would say no if they asked if you called him up and was like, CJ Stroud for your quarterback? The Bills. The Chiefs. I think it's four. I think it's the Bengals and the Ravens. I think that's it. I think every other team would probably say yes. Especially given his contract.

This is a subjective valuation of player assets across the league, though Stroud's performance and rookie deal make him one of the most valuable assets in sports.

The 2026 Thanksgiving Day schedule is the best single day of football ever

Wednesday night is the Packers versus the Rams. Then Thursday, Thanksgiving day is Bears, lions, Eagles, Cowboys, chiefs bills. That will be great. Like the day of Thanksgiving? Yeah. That's the best day of football I think maybe ever.

Whether it's the 'best day ever' is a matter of personal opinion and game quality.

Pittsburgh fleeced Boston in the gorilla trade

I think Boston got fleeced. Frankie got traded, 7-year-old. Frankie got traded to the Boston Zoo. He's going to just be chilling with a bunch of other dudes. Little Joe got traded to Pittsburgh because he's going to be mating and making new gorilla. Pittsburgh's the one that's gonna be making more gorillas. You guys are do everything all wrong. They're, they're making a gorilla factory in Pittsburgh.

Evaluating zoo conservation efforts through the lens of a sports trade is inherently comedic and subjective.
