Tua Tagovailoa has to make the playoffs this year to show he's a successful quarterback

I think the Dolphins have like a playoff caliber roster... I think too, it has to show something this year. Oh, I think they need to make the playoffs. I do.

The Dolphins finished 9-8 and narrowly missed the playoffs in 2021, making the season a failure by Big Cat's criteria.

Nebraska football is a complete and utter dumpster fire under Scott Frost

Nebraska is a complete and utter dumpster fire. I don't know what you do. They, I don't know if you saw the graphics... but Scott Frost is now nine and 18 in big 10 football games, zero bowl games. He has the second worst record of any head coach in Nebraska history. And it's a complete failure.

Scott Frost was eventually fired in September 2022 after continuing to struggle, confirming the 'dumpster fire' assessment.

Nebraska needs to run the dirtiest, most unethical strength and conditioning program to win games

Seriously, if you're the next Nebraska coach, just buy all the steroids, just get all the steroids. If you get caught, I guarantee you that Cornhusker fans will not give a shit. If you get caught running the dirtiest strength and conditioning program in the history of college sports... it would be less embarrassing if you're Nebraska to get caught cheating than it is running whatever you have been running for the last 10 years.

Clearly satirical; obviously not a serious recommendation for the university, though it highlights the desperation of the fanbase.

Brett Bielema will be a good coach at Illinois

I credit to Brett Bielema because I actually think he's going to be a good coach at Illinois. And he plays Bret Bielema ball... that drive to start the second half where he was like, I'm just gonna run the ball down your throat for 75 yards was vintage Bielema.

Bielema has led Illinois to respectable seasons and bowl appearances, generally being viewed as a successful hire for the program's standards.

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.

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

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
