The 49ers would have beaten the Eagles in the 2023 NFC Championship if Brock Purdy hadn't been injured

I was a huge fan of our game plan. ... I believe that we would've won with Brock. 'cause I think he's such a good player. ... At least it would've been a close game. 'cause that everyone's like, oh, we beat you by 24. I'm like, dude, come on. I didn't have a quarterback for two quarters.

This is a counterfactual historical opinion that can never be proven or disproven.

The Chiefs defense is better than people realize and Steve Spagnuolo will put on a masterclass in the Super Bowl

I think the Chiefs defense is better than people realize. And I think Spags [Steve Spagnuolo] is going to put on a masterclass... Mahomes is Mahomes. And there's just so many things that I just keep going back to like the Chiefs. They've just been there, done that. They know how to win these games.

The Chiefs defense held the high-powered 49ers to 19 points in regulation and 22 total in an OT win. Spagnuolo was widely praised for his game plan.

Kyle Shanahan might not be a 'clutch' coach

I was like, can a coach be clutch? You don't normally hear about coaches being clutch. Maybe Kyle Shanahan's just not clutch.

Shanahan lost another Super Bowl after leading in the fourth quarter and overtime, further fueling this specific narrative.

There will be no doinked field goals or extra points in Super Bowl 58

No fucking doinks. Oh no doinks. We're running it back. I got doinked big time last year and I just realized I'm talking about Moody and even his makes are close to being misses. And also last year it was Butker. But he's a good kicker. There's no chance he double doinks. No chance. So what I'm doing is I'm going to have my vengeance on the doink from last year. And I'm going to double my bet this year and go, no doinks.

There were no doinks in Super Bowl 58.

90% of NFL players prefer grass fields; teams should install them everywhere

Put me on a soapbox man. I mean, if you can put grass in MetLife and in SoFi, I think you could do that year-round if you really gave a shit... I think if you polled every single player, I would say probably 90% would prefer grass field. Why not just spend a couple extra million dollars? Which you, we know they all have. Just grass all the fields. It doesn't seem that difficult.

Surveys by the NFLPA consistently show a vast majority of players prefer natural grass over artificial turf.

Victor Wembanyama would struggle at tight end because his height creates a huge target area for safeties to hit

If he was only running a fade? Yeah, maybe. I think part of me thinks he would get the hell jammed out of him at the line of scrimmage though. ... Not a lot of base. And also if he tried to run like a crossing route across the middle, I think his, he's getting taken out pretty quickly. ... Like if you're a receiver or a tight end and you're over six six, you're that, that like your ankle to like hip, that's a huge target for safeties to just run through.

Subjective sports crossover hypothetical.

LeBron James would be a hell of a left tackle

LeBron would be a hell of a left tackle. He'd be an, he'd be a really good left tackle. If he just did like the Trent Williams ninja stuff where he just swats and swipes people's faces out of the way. I think he could handle it.

This is a hypothetical sports debate that can never be proven.
