The Colts are a 'homecoming team' for the playoffs, not on the elite level of the Chiefs or Ravens

The Colts can win but they're not on that Elite level. They're like, they're like a homecoming team for the playoffs. That's what they are. They'll make it there, but there's just going to be a homecoming game in the playoffs.

The Colts made the playoffs as an 11-5 Wild Card team and lost immediately to the Bills in the first round.

I won't apologize for their 3-1 record, but I know in my heart that the Bears stink

I'm not going to apologize for three-in-one but I know in my heart of hearts of the Bears fucking stink. Okay. Are you happy? ... the Bears are just so predictable. Sometimes.

The 2020 Bears finished 8-8 and were non-competitive in their playoff loss, confirming they were a mediocre team that inflated their record early.

The Browns have finally found a distinct identity that works: run the ball and move the pocket for Baker Mayfield

They have a distinct identity that works for some reason... if you run the ball with the Browns and you have Baker [Mayfield] move the pocket and not have to throw 50 times a game, you're going to be a good football team.

The 2020 Browns finished 11-5 and won a playoff game using exactly this formula (led by Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt).

The Cowboys are currently wasting one of the greatest championship windows by building a fantasy football team with no defense

I'm starting to think that like this will go down as one of the worst uses of like a championship window a team has ever had... Jerry Jones essentially in the last few years has said I want to pay my quarterback, pay my running back, pay my wide receiver, get another wide receiver. He's building a fantasy football team and then nothing on the defense and hope it works out.

The 2020 Cowboys finished 6-10 and missed the playoffs, largely due to a historically bad defense in the first half of the season and Dak's injury.

I will never admit to losing a race, even to Randy Moss

I'm never going to say I'm going to lose a race. One of the guys that probably would have presented the biggest challenge probably would have been Darrell Green. I just talked to him the other day too, man. He probably would have been the one that presented the most challenge in the prime.

Inherently unverifiable hypothetical between all-time greats in their primes.

95% of college football players are not going pro

I want these kids to go into the workforce and make a difference, man, because 95% of my [kids] are not going pro. That's for every program, 95% of the kids play for you are not going pro.

NCAA data generally supports that less than 2% of college football players make it to the NFL.

NIL deals at Power 5 schools are often just booster kickbacks, not real endorsements

Tell me what have you seen them [Power 5 recruits] endorse? ... How can you get a million dollars worth of endorsements for a kid at these power fives and nobody sees nothing? ... At least if you say you're going to do something, we got to at least see it. The NCAA should hold people accountable if they say they got a deal.

While NIL collectives often operate with less public commercial output than traditional endorsements, his claim that they are often 'kickbacks' is a widely held but difficult-to-verify industry perspective.
