Alex Smith will eventually land a front office job and make a lot of money

[Alex Smith] is regarded as one of the most solid dudes in the NFL... he's going to go somewhere in a front office and make a lot of money for a long time.

Alex Smith retired and became an analyst for ESPN rather than taking a front office role, though the door may still be open in the future.

Jameis Winston signing with the Saints is a genius move to eventually become the starter in waiting

It actually is genius move by him because Drew Brees you have to think... maybe this year's is last year. Maybe he's got two more years. If you could ingratiate yourself to Sean Payton and what they have going on there... that's actually a very smart thing to do to be the guy in waiting.

Jameis did eventually become the starter for the Saints in 2021 after Brees retired, although injuries hampered his tenure.

If Jameis Winston throws zero touchdowns and zero interceptions this year, he'll still be second all-time at the age of 27 for both stats, only behind Dan Marino

I got a stat for you: if Jameis Winston throws zero touchdowns and zero interceptions this year, he still will be second all-time at the age of 27 for touchdowns and interceptions, only behind Dan Marino.

By age 27 (end of 2021 season), Winston had 135 TDs and 91 INTs. Marino had 196 TDs and 131 INTs. Winston was actually quite high on the list for volume at that age due to starting so young, though the 'zero TD/INT' hypothetical is a bit of a stretch.

The overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension is the smallest piece of justice the United States has ever received from FIFA

The United States has never benefited from FIFA's corruption before, and it feels like we've been left out of that party. If this is our taste of the corruption, and all the corruption is just overturning a suspension that should never have been given in the first place... it's the smallest piece of justice that the United States could ever get from FIFA.

The USMNT did successfully have Balogun's suspension rescinded during the 2026 World Cup.

The sensor chips inside soccer balls are bullshit and not perfectly aligned with the cameras

I'm so deep into this chip in the ball thing, I've become convinced that it's all bullshit. The sensors, yes, they're there and yes, they pick up on stuff, but there's no chance that it is perfectly aligned with the 50 cameras that are running concurrently in the stadium on live TV at any given time.

This is a subjective claim about technical precision, though PFT expresses strong doubt.

Brandon Aiyuk is in a bad space mentally and will not be signing with the Washington Commanders.

The Washington Commanders have released Brandon [Aiyuk] today from the contract that he didn't sign with us and was never going to sign. Things got kind of weird over the weekend. So [Aiyuk] was saying like talking shit about Jayden's mom... I think that should probably put an end to the Brandon [Aiyuk] to the Commanders rumors. But I was never really on board for it, it's been weird for quite some time with Brandon. I hope he gets whatever help he needs. It doesn't seem like he's in a good space mentally. And it seems like even his best oldest friends have tried to help him and he just burns those bridges too.

Subjective opinion on Aiyuk's mental state and burned bridges, plus a prediction about not going to the Commanders.
