Jalen Hurts should be the MVP because of how badly the Eagles struggled without him

Jalen Hirst should be the MVP because of what we've seen from Gardner Minsu. Give him the mvp because the debate is always, if you took this guy off the team, what would they look like? Well now we know 13 and one oh and two.

It is 'winner talk' for a fan to want their team to lose for a better draft pick

If you're friends with someone who's a Bears fan, if you have a family member's Bears fan who thinks that they should somehow try to win week 18, you need to tell 'em to shut the fuck up. This is not loser talk. No, no, no. It's actually winner talk to try to actually set up your franchise to be in the best possible position to get the most possible picks going forward.

The Bears lost in Week 18 and secured the #1 overall pick, which they traded to the Panthers for a massive haul (including the pick that became Caleb Williams).

The New York media is the primary reason why Jets quarterbacks fail

I'm really trying to figure out, what is the reason why quarterbacks are having real problems succeeding in the New York Jets organization. I really do think it's the New York media that makes the jets bad. It would be funny to figure out what exactly is going on. I might do like a docu-series, like try to figure out what the hell's going on.

While the NY media is famously harsh, most analysts attribute the Jets' failures to poor drafting and coaching. This remains a highly subjective and debated 'fan' theory.

The eliminated teams playing teams that need to win over the final two weeks of this season are 63% against the spread since 1990. So essentially any team that needs to win and you're playing a dead dog team, it just always, it, it, it usually works out that the dead dog team's a little livelier than people realize.
