The Washington football team should be renamed the Red Wolves

I'm pushing for the Washington Red Wolves. I think I just think it'd be cool that you got the teeth. You got all the fans in the stands, just making big howling noises. ... I just think that there are no professional football teams named after dogs and everybody loves dogs, right?

The team was eventually renamed the Commanders in 2022, rejecting the Red Wolves suggestion due to trademark issues.

The Dallas Cowboys are dead

The Dallas Cowboys are dead. D-E-A-D dead. Mike McCarthy... six weeks into the season and there's already a mutiny. He looks like he's given up. [The Cowboys] are ridiculously bad.

The Cowboys finished 6-10 and missed the playoffs in Mike McCarthy's first season.

Dak Prescott sitting Indian style in the shotgun would be a better quarterback than Andy Dalton

Dak Prescott not moving would be better than Andy Dalton. ... [Or] Dak sitting down Indian style, like he's got a cramp, in the shotgun formation just on his ass. I think that Dak Prescott not moving would be better than Andy [Dalton].

The Cowboys offense struggled significantly under Dalton before he was sidelined with a concussion and then COVID-19, proving Big Cat's point about the massive drop-off from Dak.

Every team in the NFC East should try to get Ryan Fitzpatrick

Any one of these... anyone in the NFC East should try to get Ryan Fitzpatrick. The reason is pretty simple. You can maybe win the division at 6-10. Seven and nine, you're a lock. And all you need to do is like hope that the Fitzmagic times up perfectly at the start of the playoffs.

No NFC East team traded for Fitzpatrick in 2020. The WFT did win the division at 7-9 as predicted, and they actually signed Fitzpatrick the following offseason.

I was incredibly sober during my peyote trip with a mountain lion

And I'd gone off on a sunrise walk with this gentleman and he was... slowly disseminating the payoti... when I got back down on the property, there was this, he had this mountain life in his cage... I get confident that me in this mountain lion are on the same frequency... The great thing about peyote had done the right way. No, I don't look back on that at all. I look back on that and go it. If anything, have you looked through the book there's times I've taken, what would be considered risk that absolutely paid off... I would say I was incredibly sober.

The subjective experience of a psychedelic state cannot be objectively verified as 'sober'.

You have to out-prepare everyone so that you have the freedom to be yourself in the moment

That moment is when I said, okay, bullshit, from now I'm gonna over-prepare. I'm going to out-prepare people. ... You gotta prepare to be free. You gotta do the early work so you can play on the day. ... Be conservative early so that you can be liberal later.

This is a subjective professional philosophy.

Dorks try to be everything to everybody, and you can't trust them

Being cool [is] being yourself and being cool with yourself and just not trying to be everything to everybody. ... I got no problem with nerds. I just don't like dorks. [A dork] tries to be everything to everybody, you can't really trust him. ... Give me an asshole before you give me a dork.

This is a subjective value judgment.
