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.

The Rays are playing an exciting brand of baseball

It's a very, very exciting brand of baseball. And I'm gonna miss it when it's over. So I did not wanna sweep, so thank you.

This is a subjective assessment of style and cannot be definitively judged.

The Cowboys are a bad football team

The Cowboys are a bad football team. And I can't wait for people to start to say like, this is when, look at the schedule. Dallas is gonna put some wins together.

The quality of a team is partly evaluative, though the season's playoff result could test the narrower claim that Dallas is not a serious championship threat.

Performance-enhancing drug shortages may explain dominant teams falling off

There started to be severe, severe supply chain issues when it came to performance enhancing drugs and peptide shipments coming to the United States. I just think it's interesting.

This speculative causal theory is not established by the transcript or otherwise verifiable from the available context.
