Malik Willis is the #1 free agent backup quarterback

Top quarterback free agents... Is it also Malik Willis? Malik Willis is, yes. So he's number one. Malik Willis one.

Willis was traded to the Packers in 2024 and performed well as a backup, but ranking him #1 over established vets is a subjective value judgment.

The Jets should trade three first-round picks to move up one spot and draft Fernando Mendoza

I heard that the Jets should trade three first round picks to move up one spot and get [Fernando] Mendoza. ... I think I probably would too if I was the Jets.

This trade did not happen, and the draft philosophy is satirical.

I will play twelve more years of professional football

I would love to play 12 more years. And that's just 12. [Big Cat: Wait, 12 more years, or 12 total?] 12 more years. I'm gonna be on 12 this year... I would love to. I'm halfway. In terms of my arm, it is just... I'm blessed... I'm gonna play 24 years.

The Patriots would have won Super Bowl 60 if the Cooper Kupp bobble had been challenged and overturned.

I don't know why they didn't challenge that in real time. That was like, that's a bobble. And then it was clearly was a bobble. If he didn't, if they didn't, if they reviewed it and it gets overturned, they didn't even get a field goal... I think we win. [Sliding doors effect].

The Patriots lost 29-13; it is highly unlikely one overturned catch in the first half changes a three-possession game.

NFL teams should hire gay GMs to avoid paternity leave issues

This is why I would, I would get a gay GM. Yeah. You don't have to worry about paternity leave. Be very meticulous when he is like studying the bodies going into the combine... GM's jobs are just to like, you know, like let this guy go gossip and be messy. Yeah. Like just unleash him on the league.

The take is satirical and refers to a workplace strategy that is not actually being implemented in the suggested manner.

Bo Nix's injury was a 'soft benching' by Sean Payton

The 49ers' high injury rate is caused by an electrical substation next to their practice field

He is afraid of dogs because he's worried that deep down inside... he's gonna have to tell his parents 'I'm a dog.' I think he's trying to suppress his inner dog because he knows if he becomes the dog that bit him, it's watch out world. He got bit by a dog as a child and became a dog.

Jayden Daniels is the worst quarterback from the 2024 draft class

My preemptive take of the year was right. Commanders would miss a playoffs and Jayden Daniels be the worst out of all the quarterbacks in 2024. [Big Cat: 'Michael Penix?'] He looked pretty good before the injury.

By most statistical measures and eye tests, Daniels was far from the 'worst' of the class, having won OROY in many circles.

Booger McFarland said the Broncos, Patriots, and Colts were more complete teams and better Super Bowl contenders than the Bills, Ravens, or Chiefs. The Chiefs (6-11) and Ravens (8-9) both missed the playoffs, so he was right about them. However, the Colts collapsed from 8-2 to finish 8-9 and missed the playoffs entirely. The Broncos (AFC 1 seed) and Patriots (Super Bowl appearance) were strong, but the Bills also made the playoffs and won a wild card game. The take was partially right (Chiefs/Ravens bad, Broncos/Pats good) but wrong about the Colts being a complete team.
