The NFL is literally rigged for money and views

NFL is rigged for views for money. Yeah. It is... They literally changed the rule book to make offense better. Correct? Yes. It is, it is rigged for money.

While the NFL is a business that optimizes for revenue, 'rigged' implies pre-determined outcomes, which is unproven. It's a classic PFT semi-satirical stance.

The Washington Commanders head coaching job is actually a very good job

The mess is gone. We don't have the mess... You've got Josh Harris, good owner, he'll spend money, we're gonna get a new stadium... I think about the Washington job as still being a good job because you've got a new owner, new stadium coming, possible new team name. You have the most salary cap room in the NFL, and you have the number two overall pick. It's pretty good.

While subjective, the salary cap and draft assets are objectively strong points for a new coach.

I was wrong: Brock Purdy is much better than Jimmy Garoppolo

I would like to correct myself at the end of the show. We, we were talking about Jimmy G and Brock Purdy. I did. I was like, oh, was Jimmy G's be, you know, is he that much worse than Brock Purdy? That was wrong. Brock Purdy's much better than Jimmy G... Brock Purdy is better both with his legs with taking shots.

Purdy led the 49ers to the Super Bowl and has superior stats and mobility.

The Ravens' AFC Championship loss is much worse than the Lions' NFC Championship loss

I think that Ravens loss is so much worse than the Lions... I think it's so much worse because the Lions, and it sounds cliche, they, they died on their sword. They did what they do and it didn't work... The Ravens squandered a incredible opportunity as a favorite at home to beat Patrick Mahomes that they may never get again... Your game plan stunk.

This is a subjective comparison of fan/organizational misery.

If Messi wins the 2026 World Cup, he is the GOAT of all sports GOATs

So if he wins the World Cup again, I'm prepared to say he might be the GOAT GOAT. Like the GOAT of GOATs. Right now I think Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali are both tied for the GOAT GOAT... But Messi could get on the Mount Rushmore of GOAT GOATs.

Messi has reached the 2026 final in this transcript. A win would make him a back-to-back champion, making the GOAT claim very strong.

France will beat England in the World Cup third-place game, giving England the all-time record for third-place game losses.

England has, they've got the possibility to set the all time record for most third place game losses. Right now they're tied with Brazil with two. If they lose another one, then that would mean that they have that record on their own. And if you look back through history or at least recent history, three of the last five champions of the World Cup go on to win the third place game the next year. So that would mean that France would win this third place game and England would etch their names into history.

Pending the outcome of the 2026 World Cup 3rd-place game between France and England.

Warde Manuel is about to be fired as the Michigan Athletic Director

I think Warde Manuel's about to get fired... They've leaked a few things to the media regarding the investigation and in the things that they've leaked, they've squarely pointed their finger at Warde Manuel and been like Warde knew the entire time.

The outcome of Manuel's tenure and the NCAA investigation at Michigan remains to be seen.
