Bill Belichick leaked the Josh Gordon suspension news to find a rat in the organization

Somebody was saying that Bill Belichick smells a rat inside his own nest. And he leaked that information to one person. And he was like, if this makes its way to Ian Rapoport's Twitter account, then I know that it's you, and it breaks my heart, but I know it was you.

Hot Take Football Hot Subjective

This is an unverifiable conspiracy theory, though Belichick is known for strict information control.

Jason Witten is clearly over his head and won't have a job at ESPN by the end of the year

I officially, officially feel bad for Jason Witten. He is so clearly over his head... And now I just feel bad because it feels like he's not going to have a job at the end of the year. And this is painful.

Opinion Media Hot

Witten finished the 2018 season but was widely criticized and returned to the Cowboys for the 2019 season, effectively ending his initial broadcasting stint after one year.

Trading for Demaryius Thomas makes the Texans a viable playoff contender

I think this actually makes the Texans a viable playoff contender. Well, okay. Three years ago. I want to caveat it by saying everything that I know about Demaryius Thomas, I stopped learning new things about him after the Super Bowl when they won.

Prediction Football Medium

The Texans went 11-5 and won the AFC South, though they lost in the Wild Card round to the Colts.

Urban Meyer will coach the Packers and Mike McCarthy will coach the Browns

The tip that I got, I think I said it last week, that the dominoes have started to fall. Hugh Jackson gets fired. Urban Meyer goes to coach the Packers. Mike McCarthy gets fired, coaches the Browns because of John Dorsey. And then Bob Stoops comes and coaches Ohio State.

Prediction Football Fire

Urban Meyer retired (briefly) before later going to the Jaguars. Mike McCarthy eventually coached the Cowboys. Ryan Day took over Ohio State. Matt LaFleur went to the Packers.
