Being an NFL media personality is more mentally exhausting than actually playing in the NFL

I get more tired at this than I did at playing... when the bodies are exhausted, the mind is still racing... But in this [media], when you're exhausted, you're exhausted here in the mind... the mind is shut down. I never was going to shut down after a long game on Sunday.

This is entirely subjective to Irvin's personal experience.

Patrick Mahomes would have been a bust if he were drafted by the Chicago Bears

This is why I've always said when everyone's like well, we could have Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes would have got hit by a bus if he had been a Chicago Bear. There is just it's never going to be in the cards for the Bears to be able to move the football.

While hypothetical, Mahomes' elite talent suggests he would have likely succeeded regardless, though the Bears' history of QB development supports Big Cat's point.

The Bears might get lucky and beat the Saints on Sunday

I'm still not gonna apologize for five and two... I'm running the luck train. The Bears are they have one very lucky games this year. They're not a very good team. But sometimes the NFL you'll just get the lucky bounce and just ride it. So I'm not going to apologize for five and two and I think they might even beat the Saints on Sunday.

The Saints beat the Bears 26-23 in overtime on November 1, 2020.

The Rams play 'Mickey Mouse' football with their excessive pre-snap motion

I agree with your take that they're playing too fast. That's gonna be Mickey Mouse football when Sean McVay gets in his huddle and then he has his players shift around like it's a game of three-card monte at a carnival just to confuse the defense.

This is a subjective stylistic critique of Sean McVay's coaching philosophy.

The 90s Cowboys would have won five straight Super Bowls if Jimmy Johnson stayed

We often talk about we would've could've won five straight, [with Jimmy Johnson] but it didn't happen that way.

Counterfactual history that cannot be proven.

The Cowboys family dynamic, not just skill, is what's missing for a Super Bowl run

They've always had the skill. It's just I need the collective will. Those three years we went 12 and 5, we had a good enough team... They had the skill, it was just not the collective will when we got to the playoffs. Hopefully that comes together.

Subjective analysis of team chemistry.
