Top NFL prospects should want to get injured in bowl games to reach their second contract faster

But if you're good enough, you actually want to get injured in that bowl game because you don't have to play your first year in the pros. And so you're one year closer to your second contract.

The logic is flawed as draft position (and thus initial guaranteed money) typically drops significantly with a major injury.

America is sick of Aaron Rodgers winning games in predictable, dramatic fashion

He will win a game late, and he will do it in dramatic fashion, and he will drop dimes and all that. I'm sick of it. I think America is sick of it, to be honest, if I'm just going to speak for America here.

This is subjective, but Rodgers' style of late-game heroics continued to be a major NFL storyline for years, though 'America' was likely more entertained than sick of it.

Jason Witten was hired by ESPN solely to mend the relationship between the network and NFL owners

Jason Witten is in place to mend the ESPN-NFL relationship, which makes sense... they put him in there, and it doesn't really matter if he's bad for the audience. It just matters that the rest of the owners and Roger Goodell likes him.

While Witten's hire was widely criticized for his lack of experience, the specific 'mending relationships' motive is a matter of corporate strategy that hasn't been officially confirmed but remains a strong industry theory.

The NFL referees are being bullied by the internet into not calling the game by the rules

The refs are getting bullied by the blogosphere and the twittersphere into not calling the game by the rules. I would have liked to see [Clay Matthews] get penalized for that [hit on C.J. Beathard].

Whether refs are 'bullied' by social media is inherently subjective.

JMU may not win again until the dog-poop bettor returns

JMU probably won't win another football game until that guy logs back on.

The prediction resolves when JMU's 2026 football season ends or the team wins another game, whichever comes first.

The Wizards are a one-through-eight seed team

I feel confident in my one through eight seed. Love that for the Wiz.

The Wizards' 2026-27 regular-season finish will determine whether this playoff-seeding prediction was accurate.

The Falcons can expose the 49ers defense

They might not actually be as good as we think they are on defense. I don't hate the Falcons at all in this game.

The 49ers' 2026 defensive quality and this Week 7 result can be evaluated against the skepticism expressed here.
