The Patriots 'smoke' regarding trading up for a quarterback in the first round is for nothing

I feel like when it comes to the draft, there's always smoke. There's always, always, always like, 'this might happen, this might happen,' and then usually nothing crazy that happens. I feel like they're not going to do it.

The Patriots stayed at 15 and drafted Mac Jones without trading up.

This is officially the end for Jimmy Garoppolo on the 49ers

This is the end for Jimmy Garoppolo, I think we all can agree. We always joke about the vote of confidence that a coach will get, and that usually means the end... [John Lynch] said he has been a pro... That is such a bare minimum thing to compliment a guy.

The 49ers drafted Trey Lance third overall in 2021 and Garoppolo was eventually phased out and traded.

I will give Chris Simms my spleen if Justin Fields is drafted 32nd overall or lower

I will say, I will give Chris Simms my spleen if [Justin Fields] gets picked 32nd overall or lower. Exactly 32nd or lower. If it's 32nd or lower, Chris, my spleen is yours. It's probably in pretty poor condition.

Justin Fields was drafted 11th overall by the Chicago Bears, well before the 32nd pick.

Mac Jones will be a bust because he is crying in his DUI mugshot

I like my quarterbacks when they get a mug shot to not have a little cry in their eyes. Oh, he's sad in it? Yeah, look it up. He's got a tiny bit of cry in his eyes. So I'm saying bust just on that. Just based on that.

Mac Jones was benched and eventually traded by the Patriots after three seasons, largely considered a bust for a first-round pick.

Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

AJ Brown will be traded to the New England Patriots

[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.

AJ Brown was not traded to the Patriots in the immediate aftermath of these rumors.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
