Justin Fields will be the Jalen Hurts of the 2023 season

We're then gonna reach for in round three... for Justin Fields. I have a feeling he's gonna be the Jalen Hurts of this season. We have to ensure that we get him.

Justin Fields did not have a breakout season; the Bears struggled, and he was eventually traded to the Steelers after the season.

Nebraska shouldn't try to compete with Ohio State; they should drag teams to the depths and wait for them to drown

I think Nebraska's get it all figured out. They don't need to step it up to compete with the Ohio States of the world. They just need to drag everybody down to their level and then beat you with experience. Drag 'em to the depths and wait for them to drown.

Nebraska went 5-7 in 2023, failing to reach a bowl game, though many of their games were low-scoring slogs.

The NFL's new helmet rule is designed to allow referees to rig games

Pretty much what they did was they gave the NFL refs the opportunity to throw a flag on any play that they want to throw a flag on. Right. For the helmet thing... Just heads up that's, that's major NFL rigged vibes right there.

This is a subjective theory about league intent and officiating patterns.

The Rams are going to be the worst team in the league

And Cooper Kupp got hurt again. The Rams are going to be the worst team in the league.

The Rams were actually surprisingly good in 2023, finishing 10-7 and making the playoffs as a Wild Card team.

Winning a championship feels better than the 'emptiness' Joe Mazzulla describes

Coach Mazzulla in his press conference said something about feeling empty when he won and feeling empty when he lost. ... I'm not a psychiatrist, but winning feels better. It's just my take.

This is a subjective emotional comparison, though most people would agree winning is preferable.

The Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini relationship should be considered a workplace relationship under the NFL umbrella

Is this a workplace relationship? I believe under that [NFL] umbrella. I can't imagine that HR is not involved in this situation.

Technically they have different employers (The Athletic/New York Times vs. New England Patriots), but the 'conflict of interest' is a journalistic standard rather than a standard HR workplace rule.

Saquon Barkley 'fucked' the fantasy team and wasn't clutch

We're never drafting an Eagle ever again. Max. It's over Saquon. Hey Max. Saquon fucked us hard this season. He fucked us real hard. He was our first pick... Championship game. Championship game... He fucked us so hard. Max so hard.

Barkley's performance is a matter of fantasy record, but the assessment of him 'fucking' the team is Jerry's opinion.
