Patrick Mahomes won't be good for at least a month into next season following his ACL tear

Mahomes tore his ACL on December 14th... I think he'll play week one. I don't think he'll be good. I think he'll, he won't be good for a month.

Will be resolved by Mahomes' performance in the first four weeks of the 2026 NFL season.

I would rather have the Eagles lose in the first round than miss the playoffs

I want to get a first round blowout so that next year could be Super Bowl... Preferably by the Bucs, but I don't think it is possible to play the Bucs in the first round.

This is a subjective preference about playoff results and future Super Bowl cycles.

The AFC is wide open this year

This is the most wide open AFC... You're only scary teams are the Chiefs and the Ravens... It is not a gauntlet.

The competitiveness of a conference is subjective, though result-based analysis can support it later.

I would take Bill Belichick as the next head coach of the Commanders

I would take Belichick. I just wanna say that for the record. I, I think Bill Belichick is a good head coach and I would like to see him coaching my team. I, especially if it's instead of Hank's team.

Belichick was eventually let go by the Patriots after the season, but the Commanders hired Dan Quinn instead.

I want Jim Harbaugh to be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears more than anything

I think I want [Jim] Harbaugh in Chicago more than anything I've ever wanted in my life.

Jim Harbaugh eventually left Michigan for the NFL, but he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers, not the Bears.

I looked at the evidence and it might have been a DeMar Hamlin body double at the Bills game

I don't think he's dead. But [it] was very snowy. That shot conveniently... why was he wearing goggles? He had a sheisty... I'm just saying like it was just, there was just like, I looked at the evidence. I'm just raising it so we could have the conversation.

There is no evidence to support the body double theory; DeMar Hamlin has made numerous public appearances since then confirming his identity and recovery.

It's a law of the universe that long-haired quarterbacks don't win Super Bowls

It's not even really long hair curse. It's just a demonstrable fact that long hair quarterbacks have never won a Superbowl... It's a law of the universe.

Historically, Super Bowl-winning QBs have almost exclusively had short hair. Kenny Stabler and Patrick Mahomes (who has curly/longer hair but not 'flowing') are the closest exceptions.

Odell Beckham Jr. will sign with the Seahawks

I think he's going to be a Seahawk, based on the way that DK answered those questions earlier when he was like, no, we're not claiming off waivers. That tells me that he knows that they're going to sign him as a free agent.

Odell Beckham Jr. signed with the Los Angeles Rams on November 11, 2021.

OBJ going to the Bucs would significantly increase their Super Bowl chances

What team would Odell go to that you actually think it increases their chance significantly to win a Super Bowl?... It would be the Bucs because... Antonio Brown, there's something up with him. Plot twist, Antonio Brown is unreliable this season.

OBJ went to the Rams and won a Super Bowl. While he didn't go to the Bucs, Big Cat was correct that Brown was unreliable (Brown walked off the field mid-game later that season).

Zach Wilson has a 'laser arm' and his high throw velocity is a sign of potential success

Zach Wilson also had the fastest throw this week... laser arm. Yeah. Set it. Keep that in mind. That's good. In the first two weeks he had a 59.99 mile per hour pass.

While the velocity stat may be true, Zach Wilson's 'laser arm' did not prevent him from becoming one of the most statistically unsuccessful quarterbacks of his era.

I would probably give up a pinky for a Bears Super Bowl, but I don't want to lose the fun of the chase

Would you give up a pinky for the Bears to win a Super Bowl? Yeah, probably I would... but I don't want to have that fun taken away. Like, why would I do that to myself?

The Bears have not won a Super Bowl since this take was made.

I am officially an ex-NFL kicker because I was once offered an NFL-adjacent tryout.

I'm going to claim that because I was offered a tryout, I'm now an ex-NFL kicker.

PFT did receive a tryout offer from the XFL and worked with specialists, but he never actually played in or made an NFL roster.

The Jaguars should trade Nick Foles for a 6th round pick and go all in on Gardner Minshew

Trade Nick Foles? Absolutely. Dude, I would trade him for a six-round conditional pick. ... [Gardner Minshew] is amazing. Why would I not be [all in]?

The Jaguars did eventually trade Foles to the Bears in March 2020 for a 4th round pick, confirming Chaps' desire to move on, though Minshew eventually lost the starting job in 2021.

I always thought Nick Foles was going to be a huge bust in Jacksonville

To be completely honest, my excitement about the Nick Foles era was completely fake. It was fake. I thought that he was going to be a bust. I thought that he was going to be a huge bust in Jacksonville where everything was perfect for him in the Eagle system.

Foles' tenure in Jacksonville was a disaster; he played in only 4 games, threw 3 TDs vs 2 INTs, and was traded away for a 4th-round pick after one season.

Gardner Minshew is going to be a good quarterback

He wasn't elevating anybody else. He was just getting the ball out on time and things like that. I thought maybe he could do that in Jacksonville, rely on the defense... so I think Gardner's going to be okay. I like Gardner. I like his accuracy.

Minshew finished 2019 with 21 TDs and 6 INTs, becoming a fan favorite and proving he could play at the NFL level.

The Houston Texans will never win a Super Bowl

The Texans will never win a Super Bowl.

The Texans have not won a Super Bowl since this take was made. However, 'never' is a very long time, so it's currently pending.

Everyone must watch the Super Bowl

You can't not watch the Super Bowl. Like, you can't... In two weeks' time, you're going to want that football back. Don't take it for granted.

I will get a tattoo of Blake Bortles' face if the Jaguars win the Super Bowl

I proclaimed tonight that if you win the Super Bowl, I will get a tattoo of your face somewhere on my body. Wrist, preferably.

The Jaguars did not win the Super Bowl during Bortles' tenure.
