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 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.

Christian Pulisic was a 'no-show' and looked like he didn't care against Belgium

Christian Pulisic, the long anointed Captain America future face of this league for American soccer. Absolute no show of a game, I would say worse than a no show of a game. And then he checks himself out. Just looks lackluster, looks like he doesn't care at all. Had the most turnovers on the field of anybody. That played just really, really, really bad.

Subjective evaluation of Pulisic's effort and performance.

The US will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer

People will never close the skill gap. USA will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer.

Historically, the US has struggled to produce technical talent on par with Brazil or Europe.
