The Patriots will have more combined wins than the Bears and Commanders

My preemptive take of the year is that Drake Maye in New England [Patriots] are going to have more combined wins than the Washington football team and Chicago Bears.

The Patriots went 4-13 in 2024. The Bears went 5-12 and the Commanders went 12-5, for a combined 17 wins. The Patriots' 4 wins were far fewer than the Bears and Commanders' combined 17.

Patrick Mahomes has already reached 100% of Troy Aikman's Super Bowl success

Patrick Mahomes has thrown 36% of Troy Aikman's career touchdowns in about 8% of the games. And Troy Aikman quote, tweet that in 2019 and said, 'talk to me when he has 33% of my Super Bowl titles,' he [Mahomes] now has a hundred percent of his Super Bowl titles.

As of the episode date, Patrick Mahomes had won 3 Super Bowls (LIV, LVII, LVIII), matching Troy Aikman's career total of 3.

Dan Orlovsky’s claim that Mac Jones was the best rookie QB ever is the Take of the Year

Dan Orlovsky incredible saying he believes Belichick will win another Super Bowl with Mac Jones at QB. Mac Jones is the best rookie QB that I have ever seen since doing this job when it comes to knowing where to go with the football, when to go with the football, and how to throw that football. 'Ever seen' is just something you should not—ever seen is crazy.

The take being discussed (by Orlovsky) has been proven incorrect as Mac Jones was traded from the Patriots after several benchings.

The NFL should implement a rule where players can only play 16 games in an 18-game season

18 game season, every player can only play a maximum of 16 games. I like it in theory because it just, it's chaos. It's a wrinkle, would be strategery would be awesome, but... I liked it at first and then I thought I definitely would get fucked because I'd bet a line on Monday and then they'd be like, 'this is the game we're throwing.'

This is a hypothetical 'what-if' rule suggestion, making it inherently subjective.

The Jets can't build a winning culture

You just can't. It's hard to build a winning culture ever. It doesn't matter what you're doing if you're the Jets.

This is a deliberately broad franchise judgment rather than a claim that can be definitively proven or disproven.

The WNBA badly mishandled its Finals scheduling

Instead of doing it in an arena where it's like a 5,000 capacity arena, they could have done it at the regular time. They chose to do 12:30 in the afternoon.

This is a judgment about scheduling strategy and is subjective.

There is real tension between Jalen Brown and the Celtics

I don't think it's Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown really have personal beef. I think it's just, you know, Jalen Brown, Celtics, and that's turning into Jason Tatum in some ways. But I think there's definitely beef between Jalen Brown and the Celtics organization.

The existence and extent of internal tension is not definitively verifiable from the transcript alone.
