Trevor Siemian should not be a 6.5-point favorite and the Falcons will win outright

I think that Trevor Siemian should not be a 6.5 point favorite. I think the Falcons are going to win the game outright. Therefore, I'm taking the Saints minus 6.5 [as a fade].

The Falcons beat the Saints 27-25 on November 7, 2021. Hank was right that they'd win, though his bet was on the Saints.

Mike White secured a 10-year NFL career by having one great game and then getting immediately injured

When you're a backup quarterback in the NFL, the best thing you can do is have an awesome game and then immediately get injured and secure your like status as an NFL quarterback for 10 years. Mike White—I'll remember Mike White.

Mike White has remained in the NFL as a viable backup/spot starter since this 2021 game, playing for the Jets and Dolphins.

I am officially back in on Carson Wentz

I'm back in on Carson Wentz. How can you not be after this performance? I do have a question, though... Why are the Colts not sitting Carson Wentz in the second half of blowouts?

The 'Wentz experience' eventually soured in Indy and he was traded after the season following a late-season collapse.

A team can have a winning culture while still losing games

Can you have a winning football culture without actually winning football games? Yes. I think you can. It's tough to pull off... There's that year where you can change the culture by losing close games. The Lions kind of had a little bit of that at the start of the year.

This proved incredibly prescient, as Dan Campbell's Lions built a culture through losses that eventually led to a division title and NFC Championship run.

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.
