Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are not on good speaking terms

I absolutely believe that Tom Brady and [Bill] Belichick are not on good speaking terms right now. And maybe this is also a thing where Tom Brady... is like, you know what? I'm going to retire if Josh [McDaniels] leaves.

While never explicitly confirmed to be a total silent treatment, reporting from ESPN (Seth Wickersham) and later documentaries heavily suggested the relationship was severely strained at this time.

If Andrew Luck was 100% healthy, Josh McDaniels would have taken the Colts job

I'll put it this way. If Andrew Luck was 100% healthy, then [Josh] McDaniels takes this job.

While speculative, Luck's health was indeed a massive storyline for the Colts, and he retired shortly after due to the toll of injuries. McDaniels never went to Indy, staying in New England.

Josh McDaniels only stayed in New England because Tom Brady promised to play three more years

I don't think [Josh] McDaniels walks away from Indianapolis if Tom Brady doesn't say to him, 'I'm gonna stay for three more years.' [Josh] McDaniels would be the dumbest person in the world if Belichick's like, 'Yeah, I'm done next year,' and Brady's like, 'Yeah, I don't know if I'm gonna play more than one year,' because then he would basically be [stuck].

Tom Brady played for the Patriots for two more full seasons (2018, 2019) before leaving for Tampa. He played five more seasons in total.

Bill Belichick letting Matt Patricia leave but keeping Josh McDaniels proves he thinks Patricia is a dummy

The other fallout is [Bill] Belichick must think Matt Patricia's a dummy because he's like, 'No, you go ahead. You're not going to be the coach of the New England Patriots when I leave. So you go ahead and don't even look back.'

Matt Patricia's tenure in Detroit was a disaster, and McDaniels eventually did leave for the Raiders, but neither succeeded as head coaches. Belichick didn't promote Patricia to head coach.

The Brewers have the World Series sealed

I think the Brewers have this thing sealed up after an insane Monday night where they were just awesome.

Big Cat predicted the Brewers had the World Series sealed up. The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in Game 5 on October 28, 2026, to win their first World Series championship.

There will be no MLB lockout

They'll figure it out. There's too much at stake. They'll figure it out. It's not 1994 anymore. They'll figure it out.

The transcript is from October 2026 and the provided context does not establish whether MLB games were ultimately missed.

A 24-team College Football Playoff is starting to make sense

I'm starting to grow on it. My problem is, I'm thinking about it in just this year where we actually had parity.

This is a subjective opinion about playoff format and cannot be definitively judged.
