Takes

The 49ers will bounce back and win some football games in 2025 after their 'season from hell'

I feel like we brought most of our offense back and we should be able to score points because we basically went entire season without Christian McCaffrey... now that he's back, pair him with myself, Kyle Juszczyk, Jauan Jennings, Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall... Williams is still pretty good too. I think we're gonna win some football games and it's gonna be pretty fun.

Jalen Hurts will play with a chip on his shoulder next year despite winning Super Bowl MVP

I love that everyone still thinks Jalen Hurts sucks because it's just like if everyone thought he was good, he just still will have a chip on his shoulder even though he won Super Bowl MVP.

Bengals rookie Shamar Stewart has all the leverage in his contract holdout

Shamar Stewart Bengal's first round pick... could reenter the 2026 NFL draft. If he remains unsigned and the Bengals don't sign him by the deadline... Shamar Stewart has all the cards. He can just train for a year.

Deebo Samuel is fat and slow now

I never said specifically that he was fat. I just referred to him as Fat Deebo. He's fat. He could be also everyone who's going just send screenshots of how fat I am... Fat Deebo rolls off the tongue. At least you got Fat Deebo.

I would rather be down 3-0 in a series than 3-1 because of the lack of pressure

It does sound stupid, but I just think vibes wise, 3-0, I know what you're saying. 3-0, you can kind of sneak up on 'em. 3-1, you can't... when you're down 3-0, if you can win game four and five, all the pressure flips back.

I personally guarantee Terry McLaurin will be on the Commanders next season

I personally guarantee that they're gonna pay him more guaranteed money and he's gonna be a commander next year. And that's a guarantee.

TJ Watt is unhappy in Pittsburgh and wants to leave

TJ Watt... he's gonna cost a lot of money. I think he's unhappy and I think he wants to go... I could imagine TJ Watt wearing a Green Bay Packers jersey.

The Anthony Richardson experience in Indianapolis might already be over

Anthony Richardson is hurt another shoulder injury to the quarterback... I feel like this could be Daniel Jones... I just feel like the Anthony Richardson experience might be over.

Joe Flacco will start Week 1 for the Cleveland Browns

Probably Joe Flacco. Yep. Just because that's the guy who you can get ready with fewer first team reps in August... I believe that they're gonna try to move Kenny Pickett before the training camp opens... Flaco will start week one and then once one of the other two guys is ready, they'll put that guy out there.

Bill Belichick will eventually coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I feel like Belichick has been eyeballing the bucks... The Buccaneers are willing to do kooky things if they think it's gonna make them better... It would make sense if you can hand him a talented team in a weak division where he could cobble together enough wins to get to the playoffs.

I'm anxious that CJ Stroud's arm soreness will become a long-term worry.

I'm not worried about him yet. But I am worried that I might end up worried about him. Pre-worried. I'm worried that I'm gonna be worried about him. Yeah. I think they call that anxiety.

Justin Fields gives the Jets a chance because of his mobility

I guess my question is, you know, do we have a chance? I mean, he's a great guy. He is a runner. Right? At least we got a runner. I always have faith.

The Carolina Panthers are destined for the Super Bowl because Ohio State won and Jennifer Lopez is getting divorced

2024 Ohio State wins the National championship. The Panthers have a losing record. Next year, 2025, the Panthers open up with the Jacksonville Jaguars again. Also in 2002, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce... 2014 Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce... 2024 Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck. It seems like the Carolina Panthers gonna be the Super Bowl.

The Chicago Bears roster has enough built-in talent to win 3-4 more games just by having a competent staff

Everything Chicago has done the last couple years... I thought Chicago had the most built in wins based on their current... how many wins are there just built into that roster? I thought Chicago had the biggest spread... there's three or four wins built into that roster like that [with Ben Johnson].

Brock Bowers is the best tight end prospect to enter the NFL draft in 15 years

I think [Bowers] is the best tight end prospect to come out of the draft in the last 10 years, 10, 15 years. Like, and his rookie year matched it, if not exceeded it, which was pretty incredible.

Jordan Hudson was Bill Belichick's 'rebound' from his 'divorce' with Tom Brady

When Brady and Belichick broke up, I think we spent a lot of time using the word divorce. I think Bill might have treated it and processed it like a divorce. At the time where he's like my main, my main thing is gone now. Time to find some new strange. [Belichick] spent decades watching Tom Brady spin that thing and he is like, there's gotta be one heir apparent. And that's Jordon.

Jim Irsay was the first NFL owner with the 'balls' to stand up to Dan Snyder

I will never forget the fact that he is the first owner to have the balls to say fuck you to Dan Snyder when Snyder threatened to blackmail every other owner. And he goes, yeah, try me. 'cause everything that I've done is out in the open.

The NFL should not ban the Tush Push

I'm opposed to banning the tush push. Just figure out a way to stop it. ... It's very unfair to to ban it. You can't ban it a play because one team is way better at it than every other team.

The NFL should not change playoff seeding to be strictly based on record

They are proposing to do playoff seating one through seven strictly based on record... I hate this. ... the division winner should get a home playoff game, that should be it. ... I'm just scared that once... the NFL will do is change everything so that more people watch.

The Buffalo Bills will somehow avoid the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs this year

Is this the year Buffalo somehow avoids Kansas City in the playoffs? ... means someone would've to lose or somebody... but somehow they don't meet. ... somehow the Chiefs and the Bills will miss each other in the playoffs.

The New York Giants will win 7-9 games and be better than people think

I think the Giants are gonna be better than people think. ... I think that defense is gonna be elite. Their, their defensive line has just monsters on it. So I think they might be one of those teams where... they go jump up to 7, 8, 9 wins.

Caleb Williams has good judgment for realizing the previous Bears coaching staff were 'morons'

I was wrong for thinking that Caleb Williams always wanted to be a bear, but I was right that Caleb Williams is the guy because he knew better than anyone that Shane Waldron and Matt Eberflus were fucking morons. Like he has good judgment.

The NFL should never allow division games to be played internationally

I think it is absolutely bullshit to have any division game played international... That is so stupid.

The Bears and Commanders will meet in the 2025 NFC Championship game

This is January 25th and it is the Washington Commanders against the Chicago Bears for the NFC championship. Wow. That is my game of the year. Putting it all on the line.

Never trade for a wide receiver from Mike Tomlin

Never trade for wide receiver from Mike Tomlin because Mike Tomlin is trading his wide receiver for a reason. And that means that Mike Tomlin is done with his wide receiver and he doesn't want him anymore. And you can go back. Deontay Johnson, chase Claypool, Antonio Brown... Mike Tomlin when he's like, I'm done with the, with, with, with the wide receiver. That's, it's over, it's damaged goods.

George Pickens will go insane if CeeDee Lamb dominates the targets

If CD Lamb starts getting the lion's share of the targets and Pickens isn't involved in the game plan, he is going to blow his head off. He is gonna go fucking insane even by George Pickens standards because he always wants the ball... even when he is getting the ball a decent amount, he still flips out.

Aaron Rodgers will sign with the Steelers on May 15th

They're waiting. Aaron Rogers is a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers... he's just waiting for the schedule to come out. Then he will sign with the Steelers and make it official... I think we're gonna get Aaron Rogers on the Steelers on May 15th.

Caleb Williams being seen with supermodels makes him a QB1 over Jaden Daniels

Caleb Williams was in Miami and he got out of a car at a restaurant with three different like supermodels. Hell yeah. That's that's that's a QB one you want. Yeah. That's QB one actually. That's Aura. Not a helicopter mom. 24-year-old.

Abdul Carter is a loser for trying to take legendary Giants players' retired numbers

Is Abdul Carter a loser? I it's very weird. A weird tumble guy of all time... to on day one, go into your new company and be like, I want the numbers of the two most famous guys that everybody loves. Right. And, and again, the first one I get it, take your, shoot your shot. The second one... it's weird. He can't go his own way.

Dion Sanders is Father of the Year for getting Shedeur mocked as a first-rounder when he was a fifth-round talent

Dion Sanders actually father of the year because he got his fourth round son mocked as a first rounder. Yeah. That's pretty crazy. You don't usually have that happen where a guy ends up going pick 1 44 is mocked in a lot of mocks is a first rounder. So credit to Dion.

Joe Flacco will start Week 1 for the Cleveland Browns over Deshaun Watson and Dylan Gabriel

I think that [Joe] Flacco might start week one. And Flacco is an big underdog to do that too. I think he was like, plus seven 50 last I checked. Yeah. So I, I like the quarterback room.

The Giants completely changed their negative reputation in just three days of the NFL Draft

The Giants have had the roughest reputational year that a team can imagine... And in the matter of three days, Joe Shane and Brian [Daboll] have completely changed a conversation around this team where like every Giants fan is like back on board and they're like, let's go.

The Falcons cannot keep Kirk Cousins as a backup with his current salary following the Michael Penix Jr. pick

I can't imagine the Falcons week one paying Kirk Cousins that salary and having Michael Penix be the starter... if you're the Falcons, you can't have that guy with that salary as much as they say it... that guy can't be on the ri, he's a great teammate in the whole thing and he showed up to Spring Camp, but you can't be paying him that number to be a backup.

Xavier Restrepo will be the #3 receiver for the Titans and record 60 catches as an undrafted rookie

I watched a lot of Miami. I don't understand [how he didn't get drafted]... That guy makes a play every single time they throw it to him... Isaiah [Xavier] Restrepo is gonna be like the number three receiver and he'll have 60 catches and he'll be a great NFL player.

Lamar Jackson will win a Super Bowl and is effectively the 'Cooler Peyton Manning'

I'm not worried about it whatsoever. He's [Lamar Jackson] gonna win a Super Bowl... I'll just, I mean I, the comp I keep making is just Peyton Manning. He's cooler Peyton Manning. He's fucking electric in the regular season.

The Jaguars fleeced the Browns in the trade to move up for the number two pick

The Jaguars trade was crazy. That was a pretty nuts trade. Fleeced, fleeced. I saw some of the different draft conversion charts. Some people were saying it was an all-time fleecing.

Travis Hunter is a sport-changing player who will alter the trajectory of the game

There are players you can target and acquire who will alter the trajectory of a game. There are players that you can target and acquire that alter the trajectory of a football team. There are very few, and it's rare to be able to target and prioritize a player who can alter the sport itself. This is a sport-changing player. So the game will never be the same.

The Browns made a smart move loading up on draft picks and taking Mason Graham

I love what the Browns did though, because the Browns getting more draft picks. They, they are in, you know, purgatory right now... Load up some draft picks and still get a stud with Mason Graham... I just like what the Browns did. Credit to the Browns.

The Browns should take Shedeur Sanders in the second round to start their rebuilding process

In the second round, use one of these picks. Get Shedeur [Sanders]. Shedeur is gonna be extra pissed at the Steelers. They could still take Shedeur. They could take... That's what I'm going with here, Big Cat.

I would die for Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye

[Hank] was crying. Said he was gonna die for Drake Maye. I would die for Vrabel. That's pretty good, Hank. I fucking love him.

Armand Membou is the best offensive lineman in the draft, better than Will Campbell

Memes were saying essentially that the Jets got a much better offensive lineman than the Patriots got. Who's the best o-lineman in the draft Memes? Our guy... Armand [Membou].

Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart are two really good picks that change the Giants' dynamic

I love what the Giants did. I love what they did. They need a quarterback... The Giants got Abdul Carter who I think's a really good player. Now you got Brian Burns, you got Thibodeaux, you got Dexter Lawrence... And then they have the guts... they move up and they take Jaxson Dart. I think those are two really good picks for the Giants. And if they come through that, that changes their dynamic of their team.

Travis Hunter will be a receiver in the NFL, not a two-way player

I just don't know what they're gonna do with [Travis Hunter]. I really think he's a receiver. I think he can impact the game and help their quarterback at receiver. I think you're whistling Zippity do do out your butt if you think he's gonna play both ways in the NFL... We really have to be crazy to think a rookie's gonna come in here and do that right away.

Malaki Starks is a clutch, game-changing player and a big pickup for the Ravens

Selfishly, I love what the Ravens did, man. I love Malaki Starks... He has this presence about him. He's a great communicator. He's big, strong, experienced. He's just a clutch game changing player. And for the Ravens to get him and pair him with Kyle Hamilton... I'm telling you, that was a big pickup for Baltimore tonight.

James Pearce Jr. was a major disappointment this year for Tennessee

I want to love [James] Pearce. I don't see Pearce as a run defender yet... I thought he was a major disappointment this year for Tennessee personally.

Hunter Renfrow will be back on an NFL roster this week

Hunter Renfrow was a favorite draft pick of mine. He's gonna be back. He watch this week. You're gonna see a transaction. I love it. He'll be back in football. He belongs in the league.

Ashton Jeanty is a better pure runner than Bijan Robinson

I actually think [Ashton Jeanty] is a better pure runner in terms of contact balance churning out yards after contact than Bijan Robinson. There's been six running backs going the top 10 in the last 10 years of the draft... [Ashton Jeanty] is absolutely worth the pick.

It is more likely that only one quarterback is drafted in the first round than three

There's a growing sense that it's more likely that one quarterback gets drafted in the first round than three. Cam Ward one, Jackson Dart two, Shedeur Sanders three, Tyler Shough four, Jalen Milroe five.

Matthew Golden is the best wide receiver in the 2025 draft class

Number one receiver, Matthew Golden. Route running, crispness, 4.29 40-yard dash... top end speed great... caught a crease, he's gone. Vertical speed adjusts to the ball. I like Golden one.

I would never close the door on teaming up with Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan on a coaching staff again

[Teaming up with McVay and Shanahan] I think it'd be great... Absolutely not [closing the door]. I don't know if they could coexist, you know, being in the same division all these years. But I hope that's possible.
