Zion Williamson should drop out of Duke and secure his shoe deal to avoid injury.

There is a world where it would make sense for [Zion] to not risk a catastrophic injury and just go... He will be the number one pick no matter what, probably. So why not just go do it? And he'll make more money on his shoe deal than he will playing basketball. So don't risk that whatsoever. Just leave and get your shoe deal.

Zion famously suffered a minor injury when his shoe blew out against North Carolina shortly after this episode aired, though he remained the #1 pick. The logic of avoiding injury risk was valid.

Rob Gronkowski was sandbagging all season and is actually the best tight end in the NFL again

I'm going to eat a bird, a big black bird with feathers, and say that Rob Gronkowski was sandbagging the entire season. He's totally healthy. He's actually the best tight end in the NFL right now. I'm sure he'll show up for the Super Bowl.

Gronkowski had a massive catch to set up the game-winning TD in the Super Bowl and was clearly elite for the postseason run, though he retired immediately after (before returning in 2020).

Andy Reid's clock management in overtime was baffling and classic Andy Reid

I still don't understand Andy Reid, and I don't want to blame, you know, do the timeout thing, but you have three timeouts in overtime that can't end in a tie... And he let his defense just die out there without calling one timeout, whether it be at a third and ten, whether it be when the Patriots get to the goal line. It was baffling to see... That happened. I guess it wasn't really baffling because that's Andy Reid.

Reid famously struggled with clock management in big games for years, a narrative that only shifted after he won multiple Super Bowls with Mahomes.

Tony Romo is receiving the coordinators' play-call audio in his earpiece during broadcasts

I know someone who works for the CBS football production team, and CBS is pulling play-call audio and hot routes from the same radio channel that the coordinators send to play into the QB's helmet. They direct the audio into Romo's earpiece, and he appears to know all the calls beforehand.

This is factually incorrect; Romo's 'precognition' was based on his high-level study of tape and defensive alignments, which he has explained in numerous interviews.

Cristiano Ronaldo is an absolute bum

But yeah, Ronaldo's, I mean, he's an absolute bum. I think we can all agree, right? Zach?

Jaylen Brown is the best or second best player on every team in the NBA.

It is insane that anyone would say that [Jaylen Brown] is the seventh best player on an NBA team. He's gonna be the best or second best player depending on what team you pick. I don't think you can pick a team that you'd be the, I actually don't think you could pick a team that you'd be the third best.

Subjective opinion on player rankings across the league.

Baker Mayfield will have a bounce-back year

Baker's gonna have a bounce back year. He's not injured anymore. You get healthy. Play fast. Play good.

Outcome depends on the 2026 NFL season stats for Mayfield.
