The Dolphins aren't built to win in the cold and will struggle once the weather turns

I'm going to start buying into the whole storyline of this team [Dolphins] isn't built to win in the playoffs once the weather turns cold... I can't wait until they break out like the candy ass Aqua uniforms and you've got people actually doing that take of like, I don't think that the Dolphins can win in wintertime.

The Dolphins lost at Buffalo in December and then lost in Buffalo again in the Wild Card round in cold conditions. This take proved prescient for that season.

Frank Reich is officially on the hot seat and could be the first coach fired

I think Frank Reich is officially on the hot seat... nothing tells you that more than the quotes that he had after the game... I don't know what—I do think Frank Reich is now up there for coach to be fired first.

Frank Reich was fired on November 7, 2022. While Matt Rhule was actually the first coach fired (Oct 10), Reich was fired mid-season shortly after.

The Bears should run the triple option because nobody can defend it in pro football

The Bears should run the triple option. People would not be able to defend the triple option... you can't tell me that teams would want to play the triple option in pro football.

The Bears didn't switch to a full triple option, though Fields' rushing became a major part of the offense later that season. They finished 3-14.

The Giants are a borderline playoff team if they get a few bounces

I'm a believer in the Giants with a couple bounces here and there being like a borderline playoff [team]. They can be feisty.

The Giants did indeed make the playoffs and even won a Wild Card game against the Vikings.

The overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension is the smallest piece of justice the United States has ever received from FIFA

The United States has never benefited from FIFA's corruption before, and it feels like we've been left out of that party. If this is our taste of the corruption, and all the corruption is just overturning a suspension that should never have been given in the first place... it's the smallest piece of justice that the United States could ever get from FIFA.

The USMNT did successfully have Balogun's suspension rescinded during the 2026 World Cup.

The sensor chips inside soccer balls are bullshit and not perfectly aligned with the cameras

I'm so deep into this chip in the ball thing, I've become convinced that it's all bullshit. The sensors, yes, they're there and yes, they pick up on stuff, but there's no chance that it is perfectly aligned with the 50 cameras that are running concurrently in the stadium on live TV at any given time.

This is a subjective claim about technical precision, though PFT expresses strong doubt.

Brandon Aiyuk is in a bad space mentally and will not be signing with the Washington Commanders.

The Washington Commanders have released Brandon [Aiyuk] today from the contract that he didn't sign with us and was never going to sign. Things got kind of weird over the weekend. So [Aiyuk] was saying like talking shit about Jayden's mom... I think that should probably put an end to the Brandon [Aiyuk] to the Commanders rumors. But I was never really on board for it, it's been weird for quite some time with Brandon. I hope he gets whatever help he needs. It doesn't seem like he's in a good space mentally. And it seems like even his best oldest friends have tried to help him and he just burns those bridges too.

Subjective opinion on Aiyuk's mental state and burned bridges, plus a prediction about not going to the Commanders.
