The Raiders and Giants draft grades are an automatic F every year

You can pencil in the Raiders for an F every year. You can pencil in the Giants for an F every year. You can pencil in the Redskins usually for an A every year. And that usually works out pretty well for us.

This is a sarcastic comment on how they assign grades, not a verifiable prediction of performance, but for 2019, both teams made highly criticized picks.

Al Davis being dead is the only reason DK Metcalf wasn't a top-10 pick

By the way, credit to the entire NFL and the draft process for not picking DK Metcalf top 10, being like, hey, this guy's really good at running in a straight line. He's really jacked, but he can't do anything else that makes you a good receiver. And when I say credit to the NFL, I mean Al Davis is just dead.

Metcalf proved to be an elite receiver, making this take partially incorrect regarding his skill set, although the Al Davis comparison is humorously accurate for the era.

The narrative that Josh Rosen is a bad teammate is complete bullshit

The whole Josh Rosen is a terrible teammate, terrible human being is like the biggest runaway narrative of all time. Josh Rosen is a little abrasive. He's a little arrogant. He thinks he's smart... Aaron Rodgers, kind of the same guy... I haven't seen, nobody from the Arizona Cardinals said anything bad about him, right? His teammates seem to really like him.

While Rosen's talent failed to translate, teammates rarely criticized his character after the trade, supporting Big Cat's point that the 'bad guy' narrative was mostly speculation.

The Dolphins made a smart move by taking a risk on Josh Rosen

The Dolphins did something smart. Okay, if [Josh Rosen] is bad, you got a guy who's drafted 10th overall last year for a fucking third round pair, second round pick. It's worth a risk.

Josh Rosen was a complete failure in Miami, starting only three games and throwing 1 TD to 5 INTs before being replaced.

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.
