Most sports media coverage of NFL contracts is based on lies because they don't look at the real numbers

I can't believe how bad everybody still is with contracts. NFL contracts, the first headline's a lie. and then it's the guaranteed money, and then it's what's paid out in the first three years. So if Odell's asking for a certain number, what he's really doing is manipulating the media because the media doesn't seem to want to put in the time to figure out what's really being asked for in the contract.

He is objectively correct about how NFL contract reporting works; 'total value' is almost always a misleading figure compared to the guaranteed money.

NFL preseason doesn't suck; it's genuine, enjoyable football

It's such a treat every August because everyone's like, oh, the NFL preseason sucks. Guess what? It doesn't suck. No. It's football.

This is subjective; while most fans hate preseason, PFT and Big Cat's brand is built on loving even the most obscure parts of the NFL.

Saquon Barkley is a future Hall of Famer

Saquon Barkley, future Hall of Famer. His legs look even bigger in pads.

While Saquon has had a productive career and won a Super Bowl ring later, it is far too early to declare him a Hall of Famer based on one preseason game.

Josh Allen's passes are so powerful they will require drone cameras to track

They're going to need to devise new cameras. All-22 isn't going to be able to cover Josh Allen's passes. No. They're going to have to have a drone. They're going to get... Obama to fly a drone above the stadium... taking photos.

While Josh Allen does have an elite arm, standard broadcast cameras and All-22 have remained sufficient to track his passes without drones.

Lincoln Riley still has no signature win at USC

If you go through the Lincoln Riley résumé, this is a really long time since starting in '22 to not have that signature win. Give us one. Beat Oregon once and be like, 'Hey, look.'

This is an assertion about USC’s results under Lincoln Riley that can be checked against the record as of the episode date.

The SEC will regain its national-championship dominance

It was still hard for me to believe that they're just not gonna win national championships now because of NIL. That's the kind of parity. I think the SEC is gonna turn this thing back around where they're gonna start rolling through people again.

The SEC’s future national-title results remain unresolved.

BYU is ranked far too highly to be trusted

I was arguing Texas Tech being overlooked because at least they have some P4 wins in there. They looked like shit against Colorado. BYU is eighth in both polls. I'm not putting them in there.

Whether BYU deserves its ranking and can contend is evaluable over the 2026 season, which is not complete.
