The Chicago Bears are for real

The Bears are for real. Never meant to make Cam Newton cry. See his outfit. What a real weird guy. John Fox has his team playing John Fox football, which means he takes his [team] back to a time before the forward pass existed.

The 2017 Bears finished 5-11 and were definitively not 'for real'.

Millennials are ruining football because their brittle bones are not breastfed long enough

It's millennials that are ruining football, but with their brittle little bones, they're not breastfed until a proper age, and so they all get hurt.

This is a satirical health claim that is biologically absurd.

The Atlanta Falcons are officially pretenders

The Falcons are pretenders. They are officially in the pretenders pile. You know what's great, too, is I think they started like 2-0 and everyone was like, see, told you, the Falcons do not have a Super Bowl hangover. Now you see them. They are mentally just broken.

The Falcons actually went 10-6 and won a playoff game in 2017, proving they weren't total pretenders, though they didn't reach the Super Bowl again.

Losing the Super Bowl is better than winning because you avoid the Super Bowl winner hangover

You know what my favorite take of the week might have been? It was one of the Boston sports guys. They said that it's almost better to lose the Super Bowl because you don't get a Super Bowl hangover if you lose it. And so it didn't really work out that way this weekend.

Statistically, losing a Super Bowl often leads to a worse following season (the 'Super Bowl Loser's Curse') than winning it.

The Browns cannot make a serious playoff run

Could they make a run to the Super Bowl? No. Yes or no. Yeah. Think of the Browns. The Browns aren't good. We know the Browns aren't good.

The Browns' eventual playoff performance will determine whether they make a serious postseason run.

The Giants are a strong play with the points

I love the Giants nine. JJ McCarthy was phenomenal last week. You look great. The Texans are not great.

Hank predicted the Giants would be a strong play with +9 points against the Texans. The New York Giants defeated the Houston Texans 27-21 in overtime on October 25, 2026, winning the game outright and easily covering the spread.

I bet a lot of money on the Patriots to win the Super Bowl.

The Patriots' 2026 season and Super Bowl outcome are not yet resolved.
