Tom Brady created the TB12 Method as a cover for the fact that he just plays Madden constantly to master situational football

I think that the TB12 thing might be completely bogus in that I don't know how much of the actual exercises he does, how much of the diet he does... I think Tom Brady just spends all his time playing Madden. And he created TB12 to be like, 'this is the reason that I'm so good.' And he just plays Madden constantly to figure out these end-of-game situations. Because he's perfect in them.

Brady is famously dedicated to his actual diet and exercise regimen; the Madden theory is a comedic bit.

I would absolutely take Matthew Stafford to be the Bears' quarterback

What do you want for your birthday? Let's get you Matt Stafford. I would take that. Absolutely. We got the number one podcast. Let's get you Matt Stafford. We'll get Matt Stafford.

Opinion Football Medium

Stafford was traded to the Rams, not the Bears.

Matt LaFleur's decision to kick a field goal on 4th and goal was the most cowardly move ever

The most cowardice field goal of all time. Matt LaFleur, I do not understand what you're doing. The decision to kick a field goal with [2:10] left, three timeouts, down eight on the seven yard line, fourth and goal... so that you can seemingly go from needing a touchdown to needing a touchdown... was so beyond [stupid].

The Packers never got the ball back with a chance to win, effectively ending their season on a decision that minimized their win probability.

Kicking the field goal was the best path for the Packers to win the game

A touchdown on fourth down plus two-point conversion plus defensive stop for overtime was less likely to win than three points on fourth down and an onside kick or a defensive stop, two-minute warning, three timeouts, plus touchdown for a win. So kicking the field goal is the best path to win.
