I'm officially a believer in Dan Campbell and the Lions

I'm a believer, I'm officially ready to say it, I'm a believer in what Dan Campbell is doing to Detroit... being able to turn around a franchise like that is way harder than I think a lot of people think that it is.

This was extremely prescient. The Lions became one of the best teams in the NFC over the next two seasons, winning the division in 2023.

Winning close games makes the Vikings more dangerous for the playoffs

I think it's actually good that the Vikings are winning all these like super close games and not blowing anybody out. I actually think like learning how to win in weird ways... All that high pressure practice that they're getting in during the regular season is gonna be very good for them in the playoffs.

The Vikings went on to lose their first playoff game at home to the Giants, who were 9-7-1, in exactly the kind of close game PFT said they were prepared for.

The Jets will trade Zach Wilson

I think they're gonna end up trading [Zach Wilson] because the way the teams united behind Mike White, I mean Garrett Wilson I think tweeted or said in post game, I'll go to work, I'll get to work something special about that boy talking about Mike White.

While Wilson was benched for 2023 for Aaron Rodgers, he wasn't actually traded until April 2024 to the Broncos. This take was eventually right in spirit but the Jets held him longer than expected.

Brian Daboll played too conservatively by punting in overtime

He really pus it out in overtime with the punt that he calls... It was fourth and three on the Washington 45 yard line minute 42 seconds remaining in overtime a tie game 20 to 20 and he decided to punt the ball away.

The game ended in a tie, which is a verifiable result of the decision to punt.

Getting excited for the NFL schedule release is for pussies

I can't get it up for the schedule release because it's—if you explained what the schedule release was to Vince Lombardi, he'd call you a pussy and spit in your face.

The schedule release is a highly watched media event, though many analysts share the sentiment that it is overblown.

The NFL should release one game schedule per day for the entire off-season

The NFL, they should do, they should draw it out even longer. It should be one game that Roger Goodell releases per day for the entire off-season. And then at the end of it, he's like, okay, let's play some ball.

This is a procedural suggestion that has not been implemented by the league.

The Preakness Stakes should move its date to three weeks before the Kentucky Derby

Why doesn't the Preakness just say, screw it to the Kentucky Derby and schedule their main race for like three weeks before the Kentucky Derby? You wanna play hardball? Yeah, you could play hardball. I feel like if you, if your horse wins the Preakness, if it was scheduled for before the Derby, you're not skipping the derby. No, you gotta run in the derby.

This is a hypothetical scheduling proposal to solve the issue of horses skipping the second jewel of the Triple Crown.
