Week 2 in the NFL is a must-win for 0-1 teams because 95% of playoff teams avoid 0-2

So 95% of playoff teams avoid going 0-2. So if you do the math, that makes week two a must win.

While the stat is generally true (0-2 teams rarely make the playoffs), calling it a literal 'must win' is a standard sports media exaggeration.

TJ Watt is currently the man carrying the torch for the Watt family

I think we need to do a torch update just on the Watt family. Who is carrying the torch? Whose man is carrying the torch in the Watt family right now? Because I think it's TJ.

TJ Watt did go on to have a Hall of Fame caliber career, often outshining JJ's later injury-plagued years, making this quite prescient.

The Seahawks finished 2017 with one of the lowest-ranked offensive lines in the league (often ranked in the bottom 3 by PFF).

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.
