Browns fans are booing Deshaun Watson because he is playing bad, not just for personal reasons

Deshaun Watson [is] up in front of the media and saying, it has nothing to do with my play. It's personal. I actually think that it's, that's not true at all. I think it's both. I think there's, that's why they have to boo him so much. It's because it's not just personal. And it's not just the play. They gotta cover all their bases.

The boos are objectively a mix of both, but Watson's statistically poor performance in Cleveland is verifiable.

Every fan base would look the other way on Deshaun Watson's issues if he were playing at an elite level

I think the whole world knows it has nothing to do about the performance. It's a little bit more personal than that... Again, Deshaun it definitely is about, if you were Texans, prime Texans, Deshaun, I think a lot of Browns fans and every fan base for that matter, would look the other way. We all have a sliding moral scale. And it essentially is, is the guy good and is he playing for my team?

This is a subjective sociological observation about sports fans, though many historical examples (Kobe, Tyreek Hill) support it.

The Browns defense will be elite this year, but their offense is going to stop them from winning games again

The Browns defense is gonna be really good this year. And yet again, they're gonna be in a situation where their offense is going to stop them from winning games. And if they have like just an average quarterback, they could be an actually good team this year. Like I do think their defense would be that good.

Pending the outcome of the 2026 NFL season.

The college eligibility system is broken and needs a 'one and done' rule for turning pro

When you declare for the draft, when you get drafted, when you suit up in an NFL uniform, that's it. It's over. This is a, you cannot go back to college. Same with college basketball. When you play in the summer league, it's over. You're, you're not playing in college basketball anymore.

This is a policy opinion on how the NCAA should be governed.

Michael Block could have saved LIV Golf

If [Michael Block] was five years earlier, he would be on LIV. He would have been LIV. And he would've been elected... he probably could've saved LIV. He's exactly what LIV needs. He's a disruption to the game of golf.

LIV Golf continues to exist and Michael Block is on the Champions Tour.

I will have a six-pack by spring break

I'm going to get so locked during football season this year... I'm turning the last 15 years of my life upside down. This is going to be the season. I'm gonna get ripped. We're gonna have a six pack by spring break.

Historical data on PFT's fitness during football season suggests this is unlikely.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba will lead the NFL in receiving yards after the first three games of the season

Jaxon Smith-Njigba to lead the league in receiving yards after three games. I think Game one against the Patriots at home, national audience, big stage... then week two against the Cardinals and then week three against the Commanders. If their defense is half as bad as it was when they played last year, then he will probably have a pretty decent game.

The first three weeks of the 2026 season have not occurred.
