Takes

The Bears should trade Justin Fields to get younger assets

Maybe I could trade the fields because I want to get young... [He] seems like he's been very promising for the last, at least six months or so... But we could maybe get like a lot of other options in exchange.

Justin Fields is a really good quarterback as long as he has protection, but he has problems when he is stationary

I really think that these fields are really good. So as long as long as there's people protecting him in front, he's gonna be fine. Okay. Way more problems when he is just stationary.

The NFL should add a universal bye week in December to push the Super Bowl back to the Sunday before Presidents' Day

The universal bye should be enacted. We should push the season even a further week back so that we have the Monday after Super Bowl off with President's Day... you should have a bye week that there's no NFL football in one week sometime, maybe in like early December so I can get their Christmas shopping in, reset with their family.

I hope the Bears get a stadium with a dome

It is very difficult to adjust to it [the cold], especially with the wind... I hope we just get a dome. I don't, I don't care if we're at Soldier Field, I don't care if we're in Arlington Heights. I, I I hope we get a dome on those.

The 'Sod Father' George Toma intentionally sabotaged the Super Bowl field to favor the Kansas City Chiefs

George Toma, the Sod Father... He worked for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has two Super Bowl rings. He's a Kansas City resident. He's a Kansas City Chiefs fan... me and Lamar Hunt were so close. This is again before the Super Bowl against the 49ers that they won... I'm just presenting facts that if you would like to cope, this might be how you'd want to cope... Eagles defense had a player slip on 38% of Patrick Mahomes drop backs... the Chief's defense had a player slip on only 14%.

I will be a Chicago Bear for life

I'm a bear for life. Bear for life. Okay. There we go. Bear for life.

I want the Bears to draft Jackson Smith-Njigba

I'm going with my man, Jackson Smith-Njigba. You know, I've seen, I've seen him in action, I've seen how he can separate himself like that and you know, his just body control is, is crazy. And you know, he didn't get to play this past year... but, you know, one guy that I would love to have is Jackson Smith-Njigba.

No quarterback wearing a visor has ever won a Super Bowl

We've got a, a theory on this show. Well, it's not really theory, scientific fact that no quarterback that's wearing a visor has ever won a Super Bowl... mostly it's a swag. Yeah, right. Exactly... So if the Eagles do lose, maybe we think about getting rid of the [visor].

Eric Bieniemy must be the world's worst interviewer since he keeps getting passed over for head coaching jobs

At this point, I don't know what to think about Eric, but he must be the world's worst interviewer of all time. I, I don't know what's, what's been happening with him... there's gotta be some reason why he's been through this every single off season and he's never gotten the gig.

Eric Bieniemy might be bombing head coaching interviews on purpose to stay with the Chiefs

I think he's bombing him on purpose. I really do. Because I think that being the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs is better than being the head coach of like 20 franchises. So he's like, yeah, I'll just go through the motions bomb this interview, and then I'll get to go be the offensive coordinator of Patrick Mahomes and, and keep piling up Super Bowl wings rings.

Aaron Rodgers will come out of his darkness retreat and realize it's cool to just keep making $40 million to play for the Packers

Aaron Rods is doing his annual, I left the last game of the Packers saying, I don't know what's in the future. I'm gonna go into a four day silent hut and, and do drugs... congratulations Aaron Rods in advance for coming out of his retreat and realizing that Yeah. It's pretty cool to make 40 million a year to be the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

The Chiefs were the better team in Super Bowl 57 and Patrick Mahomes is definitively the best player in the NFL

The chiefs were the better team. They were. And Patrick Mahomes and that offense and that offensive line and what Andy Reid did in the second half, they scored on every single possession... [Mahomes] is the guy. He has two Super Bowl wins in five years. He is 27 years old. He's fucking insane.

Patrick Mahomes is officially a 'tough motherfucker'

Patrick Mahomes two mvp, two Super Bowl MVPs... we can also add tough motherfucker to us. I think he's officially, he's a tough motherfucker now, right? He is the quintessential gamer.

The grass was the LVP of Super Bowl 57

I would like to award the very first ever part of my take L v P... The l v P of Super Bowl 57 was the field. Yeah. Was the grass so bad? They put in new grass two weeks ago... Tahoma 31 Grass. And it was mid, that grass was mid, it was bad.

The Eagles' 2017 Super Bowl win is like a delicious bag of heroin that Philly will never taste again

In some ways it makes the Super Bowl that we won five years ago, just a fucking delicious bag of heroin that we tasted once that we'll never be able to taste again. That we're just chasing after in this, this hellish like riddle that we're just living in.

Patrick Mahomes has a shot at being the best quarterback of all time

He's got two Super Bowls. Yeah. In five years... He's got a shot [at being the best quarterback of all time].

Jalen Hurts is definitively a franchise quarterback and no one can say anything bad about him

Jalen Hertz did look really good. Jalen Hertz was phenomenal. That's, that's one thing that you can walk away is being like, no one can say anything bad about Jalen Hertz anymore.

Jason Kelce is definitely retiring

Jason Kelce is definitely retiring. That was his last... I love Jason Kelce. I'm gonna miss him so much.

The NFL is going to outlaw the Jalen Hurts QB sneak (tush push) next year

You know what's, what's wild is I'm pretty sure the NFL is gonna outlaw that play next year... because who really writes the rule book? It's Jerry Jones. And Jerry Jones, he plays in the division against you guys.

I'm going to wish Orlando Brown Jr. into existence as a member of the Chicago Bears

Orlando Brown Jr. tweeted me a picture from the bus... holding Lombardi with a beer... I just replied saying, can't wait to root for you in Chicago next year. So that's one of those ones I'm just gonna wish him into existence so he's a Bear.

The Philadelphia Eagles will win Super Bowl 57 by six points

I got birds by six.

The Kansas City Chiefs will beat the Philadelphia Eagles 32-26

I wanna pick the Chiefs... 32-26.

There will be no 'doinks' (hitting the uprights) on any field goal or extra point attempt in the Super Bowl

I'm taking no doinks. The field goal on an R and extra point. If there's a doink, it pays out What? Hank plus 410, 420... I'm no doinks so I'm loading up and I think it's minus 540 on the Barstool Sportsbook.

Total players to attempt a pass in the Super Bowl will be over 2.5

Total players to attempt a pass over two and a half plus one 30. Yeah. And you have the added bonus this year of both quarterbacks being a little dinged up. So that, I mean there's gotta be a trick play.

A player will record an 'Octopus' (scoring a TD and the following 2-point conversion) in the Super Bowl

I also like this one... there to be an octopus. Yes. Plus 1150. I'm going, yes. An octopus is a player scoring a touchdown and then scoring the next play, two point conversion.

The Washington Commanders deserve partial credit for the Eagles making the Super Bowl

I feel like after that game [loss to the Commanders], I feel like that got our attention back somewhat refocus us... [PFT: partial credit for the Super Bowl should go to the Washington Commanders?] Pretty much. Yeah. I'll take lighten the fire. Be in the catalyst.

I will play two more years of football before retiring

I keep telling people like two more years... I don't want to like fade away like, and start declining and just keep, I don't wanna steal money... two years I'm good.

I hope to never wear another uniform besides the Pittsburgh Steelers

[Jersey Jerry: Could you ever picture yourself in another uniform?] No. I hope I never have to.

The Super Bowl is a 'can't lose' game for Nick Sirianni, not a 'must win'

I disagree. You think it's can't lose? They're Yeah, it's a can't lose. Because if you, if you lose, then what? ... If you're Nick Sirianni, you lose the Super Bowl, you're gonna be known as Super Bowl losing head coach. You can't, you cannot lose that game if you're Nick Sirianni.

Tom Brady is not actually retired

This was my hot seat because I actually think it's hot seat. The Tom Brady retirement. He's not, he's spending an entire year off. He's basically admitting that he's not gonna start broadcasting games till 2024. He's not retired... This feels like he's just leaving the door a little bit open.

The Eagles are in a 'can't lose' situation where everything makes too much sense

This is a can't lose. It's starting get to a point where I like the Eagles so much in this game that it's like there's no way that like there's no way this is going to happen. It makes too much sense that the Eagles are going to win this game.

I'm the greatest defender ever for a single season or game

For one single game? Or are you talking about for one single season that which player would you want? Because that's different. I mean, I'm, I'm never gonna argue for the longevity of my career... But for one season or one game, I, I'll, I'll put myself in that argument.

T.J. Watt will be a better player than me if he stays healthy

If he stays healthy and, and I, I hope he stays healthy and I hope he does. He'll break every record I got and he'll absolutely be a better player than me. There's no doubt for a single season, for a single, like being able to do everything. I I I won't give up that title.

Kirk Cousins' Pro Bowl victory proves he can win big games

Kirk Cousins leads NFC to a comeback. So there you go. All the haters that say Kirk Cousins can't win a big game. He just won the Pro Bowl Flag Football challenge.

The Eagles will win Super Bowl LVII

I mean regardless... I mean you guys [Eagles] are gonna win.

The Buffalo Bills will reach at least one Super Bowl during the Josh Allen window

I think they'll be in one, at least one. Cause [Josh Allen] is really good. And he was hurt... but they're the best three [Mahomes, Burrow, Allen]. I'm very confident that they'll [get in].

Andy Reid will coach the Chiefs for at least five more years

I would think... Will Mahomes play more than five more years? Yes. Let's hope so. I'd be surprised if, if [Andy Reid] is not driven by... where am I going? If I have [Mahomes] and I have this set up.

The Chiefs will beat the Eagles 29-26 in Super Bowl LVII

I'm gonna pick the Chiefs... Could it be 31 27? Yes it could. About 29, 26 having a schwam. Yeah, that's a schwam score... I'm gonna give you guys the nod with the score.

Tom Brady is the GOAT of retirements

It's back-to-back retirements, two consecutive retirements for Tom Brady. He's the GOAT at that too. Not a dynasty, but a nice little run.

There is a 25% chance Tom Brady comes back from retirement

I listen, Tom Brady. Thanks. It does feel like he's officially retired this time. Would we say, you said 25% chance he comes back. I still think he can come back.

No one will ever win seven Super Bowls again

He is the greatest quarterback of all time. I know that there's now debates going around... Tom Brady was seven and three. I don't think anyone will ever win seven Super Bowls again.

Tom Brady’s career was the direct result of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand

He's the walking embodiment of the butterfly effect... Gabriel Prince [Gavrilo Princip] got assassinated or assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand... It immediately led to Tom Brady's career in the NFL. Started all of it.

Everyone at the Cowboys is about to get fired because Jerry Jones is talking about 20-year timelines

I don't know what the Cowboys, it feels like everyone's about to get fired because why else would you talk like this? Jerry Jones... said he wants Mike McCarthy to coach the Cowboys as long as Tom Landry... Steven Jones today said he wants Dak to be their quarterback for the next 10 years.

I am betting $8,500 on the Eagles to be a good friend to Big Cat

I've decided, I'm going... I need to be a good friend. Would a good friend root against his buddy to lose $200,000? No... So I've decided... I'll put 8,500 on the Eagles.

Kirk Cousins has a ceiling and is never going to lead a team to a Super Bowl win

I gotta say the guy [Cousins] played pretty well... The problem is he's like Dak, he's got a cap and he's not, he's never going to take you all the way. He's going to do something stupid in the end. He's going to check down when you gotta go.

Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the league and there is no debate

Who do you think's the best quarterback in the league right now? It's Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. I don't even think it's a debate.

I still believe Carson Wentz has some good football left in him

I still believe in Carson... You don't jump ship on somebody that quickly [Colts]... I still believe that he's got some good football in him. I'll take him on the Vikings, man.

Sean Payton is the perfect coach to fix Russell Wilson

If you're the Broncos... Sean Payton's worth more than the 29th pick when [Russell Wilson] has been so bad and you've invested in Russell Wilson. You gotta figure out a way to fix him. Yeah. That's the biggest piece. Like who, who better to fix a short quarterback whose arm might be losing a little bit of the steam? Oh, how about the guy who coached a short quarterback whose arm wasn't the strongest? He's the perfect guy.

Sean Payton will be a decent coach in Denver but won't win a Super Bowl with Russell Wilson

So the vibe that I'm getting is that he's gonna come back. He's gonna be a decent head coach... I think he knows how to run a team. So it's gonna be a completely different look for the Broncos as opposed to what they dealt with this year... But I don't see him winning Super Bowls in Denver. At least not with Russell Wilson.

The Kelce brothers facing off in the Super Bowl is genuinely wild and not overstated

The Kelce Brothers, it's gonna be talked about nonstop... it's actually very crazy. It's really cool that they are the first two brothers to face off in a Super Bowl and they're both really fucking good. I actually think it's wild.
