The entire NFC South is a lot better than we expected it to be

I think that the entire NFC South is a lot better than we thought it was gonna be. The Saints have looked unstoppable in two [weeks].

The division was more competitive than in 2023, with three teams (Bucs, Falcons, Saints) finishing with 9 or 8 wins, though only one made the playoffs.

Justin Tucker is officially washed compared to his peak

Is Justin Tucker washed? Yes. He is washed compared to peak Justin Tucker. 100%. He's no longer Justin Tucker. He's no longer, 'Hey, we have a 50-yard field goal, we're gonna make it because we have Justin Tucker.'

Tucker finished 2024 with a career-low 78.8% field goal percentage, missing several kicks from 50+, supporting the idea that he is no longer his peak self.

This victory over the Lions might be Todd Bowles' signature win as the Buccaneers head coach

The Bucs, you called it the gutsy one of the week. I think this might be Todd Bowles' signature win. He won a playoff game, but I'm gonna give Todd Bowles his signature win this week. This is signature win for Todd Bowles. We've all been waiting for one.

While Bowles won a playoff game previously, this Week 2 victory was a major statement win against an NFC favorite.

The Buccaneers are currently the number one team in my NFL power rankings

The Bucs have now beaten two outstanding teams. I think I have the Bucs number one in my power rankings right now. Commanders and the Lions.

The Bucs finished 9-8 and won their division, but they were certainly not the #1 team in the league by season's end.

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.
