Dan Campbell might be the first interim head coach to win a Super Bowl

I personally think he might be the first interim head coach to win a Super Bowl.

Andy Dalton is elite and we're past the Joe Flacco debate

I can sense that paradigm shift as well. We're not talking so much about Joey anymore. We're talking about Andy. Is he elite? 6-0 sounds pretty good, but I'm a what have you done for me in September, what have you done for me through January kind of guy.

Alex Smith's dad is Bruce Smith - people forget that

There's guys like Alex Smith, you know, his dad, Bruce Smith. People forget that.

Water makes you weak - real football players do swish and spit

When I was a high school football player, I used to always tell the underclassmen that water makes you weak. So we do like swish and spit.

Brandon Weeden and Chris Weinke regressed because they won too many games in college

You've got players like spring chickens like your Brandon Weeden's and your Chris Weinke's, two young fellows that made it to the NFL, but they had won too many games in college, and they quickly regressed and kind of became garbage.

Playing on more dangerous surfaces makes football safer

We're making the game less safe by no longer playing it on concrete. And now we're adding like a new bar to the face mask every week. And it's counterintuitive, but if you look at it from a macro point of view, which I am, if you want players to care about their safety a little bit more, then you need to force them to play on more dangerous surfaces.

Joe Flacco is elite because he literally blew out the Superdome scoreboard

My subsequent investigation determined that the 21-point first-half beatdown that Baltimore hung all over the 49ers was the highest first-half point total in the Dome that year, up until that point. The scoreboard simply couldn't handle all the electricity needed to keep up with Flacco's lightning, quick-release and high-voltage offense. Quite simply, he blew the scoreboard out. That sounds pretty damn elite to me.

Nick Saban was right to not sign Drew Brees to the Dolphins

Nick Saban gets a bum rap for bailing out on the Dolphins. He recruited Dante Culpepper. But in reality, Drew Brees' shoulder, it was the sword of Damocles, and it was hanging by a labrum. If Saban had brought Brees to Miami, then the entire franchise would be hamstrung by that big contract, and they wouldn't be able to go out and afford impact players like your Mike Wallace's and your Ndamukong Suh's that they're bringing to town.

Concussions aren't real

Concussions aren't real. Well, I probably had my brain nicked up a couple times, but if you can pee straighter than you can see after having sex, then that just means you're doing it wrong.

Terry Bradshaw was the first NFL player to thank God, making all pre-1972 players blasphemers

My understanding is that the honor belongs to Terry Bradshaw. It was after the Immaculate Reception. And if you look at it from the other way, you can honestly say that every player that played in the NFL before 1972 is probably burning in hell for blasphemy.

Joe Montana was the first white quarterback to win a Super Bowl after a black quarterback won one

A lot of people forget this, but he was the first white quarterback to win a Super Bowl in NFL history after a black one won one.

John Fox's name literally translates to 'Fox Toilet'

John Fox's name, look it up in the dictionary, literally translates to Fox Toilet. And if I were him, I'd be more worried about plumbers than numbers.

PFT and Danny Woodhead are the same size so PFT could play in the NFL

That's actually about my exact size, too. You probably have a little bit more lean mass than I do. We're the same size, so basically you're saying that I could play in the NFL if I wanted to.
