Kyler Murray is done with the Arizona Cardinals

I gotta believe that Kyler is done in Arizona. Yeah. Has to be. Right? Yeah. He's the, I assume there's like a line out the door of, of quarterbacks that are like, they'll be the next McVay, right?

The 49ers are good enough to overcome multiple turnovers from Brock Purdy

The to be up at half after your quarterback throwing three interceptions... it just shows that the Niners are starting to, you know, they're they're good enough that they can overcome those things.

The loser of the Chiefs vs. Cowboys Thanksgiving game is eliminated from playoff contention

I personally say eliminated from playoff contention... to the loser of this game. You can't have the number five in the win column at Thanksgiving. You can't do that.

The Chiefs' 18% success rate in clutch situations is the worst of any NFL team in the last decade

If you make the criteria that if it's within eight points... in the final five minutes of regulation... the Chiefs... success rate is, I believe [Mahomes] is two for 10... That means they have an 18% success rate in those clutch situation plays. 18% would be the absolute lowest of any NFL team over the last eight years... the worst mark of any team in the last decade per the Athletic.

James Franklin is leaving a $50 million buyout because he has a competitive drive to coach, not just for the money

I feel like you don't get to a point where you are successful enough to get a $50 million buyout unless you have that like killer instinct, competitive drive. ... James Franklin's going after being an awesome coach, coaching, he needs football to live.

Wind is less impactful on football games in Denver due to the high altitude

Did you know that at altitude mile high, the wind doesn't have as much of an effect because the air is so thin. So if it's blowing 20 miles an hour, 20 miles an hour in Denver is like 25 miles an hour down at sea level.

Feral cats are a significantly larger threat to bird populations than wind turbines

Cats are responsible for an estimated 365 million to 2.4 billion bird deaths per year in the US alone. And then wind turbines are responsible for an estimated 140,000 to 680,000 bird deaths annually... Feral cats are a problem. That's my, that's, that's the conclusion I came up with.

Yamamoto is the first pitcher to win 3 World Series games since Randy Johnson in 2001

Yamamoto is not human. ... Denny comes back and pitches game six and then he comes back and wins game seven. It's insane. ... Randy Johnson in 2001, Mickey Lolich in 1968, Bob Gibson in 1967 and Lou Burdette in 1957. ... He won three games in the World Series, hadn't been done since I think Randy Johnson.

The Tennessee vs Oklahoma game is a playoff elimination game

I'd say the game that intrigues me most is a pure playoff elimination game in Knoxville... Tennessee, Oklahoma, absolute winner is alive, loser is dead. And the Oklahoma fans very down on Brent Venables. They'll love him if he wins.

Aaron Glenn first win as an NFL head coach also Math guy... he showed a couple games that he's a math guy. Yeah. The Bucks game. He went for two... He's an analytically sound, but it worked.

What if Hank was right about the passing of the torch game? What if, what if Drake Maye has just... I, there is a part of me that's like Drake Maye, might be legit. Legit.

The Steelers should win the AFC North

And with that defense, it, it could be, I mean, they should win the north. They should win the north.

I think the Cubs are screwed because I saw Tom Fornelli our good friend who's on later on in the show, who does not like the Cubs tweets. So we're gonna get three out of four of the DS series as sweeps, and now the Yankees won. That means a Phillies are gonna win and the Cubs are gonna be the only team that gets swept.

The Chiefs have regressed into a normal good football team that loses like everyone else

It's that the Chiefs, they're starting to lose games in ways that are familiar to every other team out there to every other fan base. It's they, they look like all of us now. I'm actually starting to think that it might kind of be their regression back to being just like kind of a normal good football team.

Ohio State's defense is definitively better than it was last year

I do think there is an argument to be made that the defense is better than last year's defense.

Once they get to the red zone, they're just absolutely clamping down and not giving up anything.

The Browns will cover the +4.5 spread against the Vikings in London

Marvin Harrison Jr. will break his first career tackle this week against the Titans
