TJ Watt is currently the man carrying the torch for the Watt family

I think we need to do a torch update just on the Watt family. Who is carrying the torch? Whose man is carrying the torch in the Watt family right now? Because I think it's TJ.

TJ Watt did go on to have a Hall of Fame caliber career, often outshining JJ's later injury-plagued years, making this quite prescient.

Gambling on the NFL is the hardest thing in the entire world

And two, gambling on the NFL is the hardest thing in the entire world, and no one should ever do it because it's god-awful.

NFL betting is widely considered one of the most efficient and difficult markets to beat long-term.

Week 2 in the NFL is a must-win for 0-1 teams because 95% of playoff teams avoid 0-2

So 95% of playoff teams avoid going 0-2. So if you do the math, that makes week two a must win.

While the stat is generally true (0-2 teams rarely make the playoffs), calling it a literal 'must win' is a standard sports media exaggeration.

The Seahawks offensive line is still dog shit

The other big takeaway that I had was that the Seahawks offensive line is still dog shit. ... I don't know where he [Tom Cable] finds the offensive lineman that he has, but they all suck. They always will suck.

The Seahawks finished 2017 with one of the lowest-ranked offensive lines in the league (often ranked in the bottom 3 by PFF).

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
