Sean Payton is still the 'shadow coach' of the New Orleans Saints

I stand by my take that Sean Payton is like a shadow coach of this team because he didn't expect to not be coaching this year. I think you saw the Taysom Hill touchdown run that had Sean Payton's fingerprints all over it.

Payton remained under contract but was retired; while the team used his existing systems, there is no evidence he was actively coaching from the shadows.

Justin Herbert is to blame for the pick-six because he should have known Gerald Everett was gassed

I'm gonna blame Justin Herbert for that pick-six and not [Gerald] Everett, because he should have known that Everett was tired and asking out of the game and he should have gone to somebody else. If Justin Herbert's the guy that he's supposed to be... then he needs to be able to make the decision to go somewhere else with that ball and not to your receiver who's puking all over himself.

The pick-six was the turning point of the game, and while Herbert threw the ball, Everett was clearly signaling to the sideline he was gassed, which is widely considered a coaching or personnel failure.

Brandon Staley has 'blue-pilled' himself into becoming a conservative coach

It's almost like Brandon Staley flew too close to the sun last year. And you know how in the Matrix you get red-pilled or you get blue-pilled? ...Brandon Staley blue-pilled himself and he's going back to being just like a normal conservative coach. Punting on fourth and short, fourth and third. I don't like that. I like Brandon Staley a little crazy.

Staley's 2022 season was indeed statistically less aggressive on fourth downs compared to his historic 2021 pace.

The 2007 college football season was the best season of all time

Sometimes you don't know that you're experiencing the season of a lifetime until like 20 years later and then you look back on it. [2007]... Holy shit, what a year. I'll just watch like a compilation of everything that happened in the 2007 college football season and just sit there for like 20 minutes being like, 'Oh yeah, I remember that. That was awesome.'

While 'best' is subjective, the 2007 season is widely regarded by college football historians as one of the most chaotic and memorable in the sport's history.

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
