Mac Jones is only the best backup quarterback prospect in the 2021 draft

Mac Jones is the best backup quarterback in this draft at the next level. He projects to be a top-tier, long-term backup.

While Mac Jones started for several seasons, he was eventually benched and traded to be a backup for the Jaguars, partially validating the 'long-term backup' ceiling.

This is officially the end for Jimmy Garoppolo on the 49ers

This is the end for Jimmy Garoppolo, I think we all can agree. We always joke about the vote of confidence that a coach will get, and that usually means the end... [John Lynch] said he has been a pro... That is such a bare minimum thing to compliment a guy.

The 49ers drafted Trey Lance third overall in 2021 and Garoppolo was eventually phased out and traded.

I will give Chris Simms my spleen if Justin Fields is drafted 32nd overall or lower

I will say, I will give Chris Simms my spleen if [Justin Fields] gets picked 32nd overall or lower. Exactly 32nd or lower. If it's 32nd or lower, Chris, my spleen is yours. It's probably in pretty poor condition.

Justin Fields was drafted 11th overall by the Chicago Bears, well before the 32nd pick.

The Patriots 'smoke' regarding trading up for a quarterback in the first round is for nothing

I feel like when it comes to the draft, there's always smoke. There's always, always, always like, 'this might happen, this might happen,' and then usually nothing crazy that happens. I feel like they're not going to do it.

The Patriots stayed at 15 and drafted Mac Jones without trading up.

Conor McGregor likely fought on an existing injury and aggravated it during the fight

I think it was probably hurt and probably aggravated it during the fight. Now, would it shock me to know that Conor McGregor tore his ACL in training and then he just pretended that it wasn't hurt? No, that wouldn't surprise me either. But I think it was probably something wrong with it and when he went out there to try to fight on it immediately, just it told him, 'no, you can't do this.'

While confirmed by some medical reports later, the exact state of his knee pre-fight remains a point of debate.

England was the much better team, but Erling Haaland is a one-man squad for Norway

England was a much, much better team. But... that guy that didn't pass the ball to Erling Haaland, give me a break. Haaland, you are a one man team and that's okay.

Subjective opinion on Haaland's role.

The World Cup being expanded to 64 teams is just a monetization play by Gianni Infantino

He wanted to turn it into American sports and he wanted to use this World Cup to learn how we're able to monetize every single facet of our sports. And the fact that it was somebody whispered like, 'Hey, you know, the NCAA tournament they used to do 64, everybody loved that bracket.' He thought about that and he was like, 'that's a great idea. I think I will, I'll try to do that.'

The World Cup expansion is a fact; the motivation is subjective but widely believed to be financial.
