Takes
Josh Allen is a true postseason 'winner' who raises his level of play, while Lamar Jackson has consistently underperformed in the playoffs.
Josh Allen is a winner. He has overperformed in the playoffs. Lamar Jackson has underperformed. [Lamar] has underperformed... Josh Allen is a winner.
The fourth-down spot for Josh Allen in the AFC Championship was a first down and total bullshit.
The spot. I did not agree with the spot. That did suck though because if the Bills got that first down, it felt like they were gonna go down and score and be up nine. I thought the spot sucked. Fourth and one... they do Josh Allen sneak and the far line judge, I believe ruled it pretty much close to a first down. The closer line judge had a completely different interpretation... I thought it was a first down. I thought it was bullshit.
The Buffalo Bills may have reached their absolute ceiling with Sean McDermott and might need a new coach to finally win a Super Bowl.
Is there a chance that they've [the Bills] hit the wall and to get through the wall they need something different? I don't think you fire him, but I just, it it did feel like this game was another winnable Bills game that coaching and defense... like it hurt them.
If you truly believe the NFL is rigged, you should just bet all your money on the Chiefs.
If it's rigged. If you truly believe it's rigged, then why don't you just make a fuck load of money betting on the Chiefs? That's me personally. That's what I would do.
NFL teams should never allow a first-time head coach to select their own General Manager.
It's also unprecedented for first time head coach to be able to pick their gm. I don't really blame Liam Cohen at all on this... but it's unprecedented for a first-time head coach to be able to pick their gm.
Success in the NFL requires prioritizing your own interests because the league is a cutthroat business where 'nice guys' don't last.
I just think it's such a cutthroat business that if you don't look out for yourself, you're kind of like, you can't be a nice guy in the NFL. You know, that's really what it comes out. You can't be a nice guy in the NFL.
Jerry Jones no longer wants an Alpha coach; he wants someone who will just do what he says.
Jerry Jones, the Jerry Jones from the nineties... that guy doesn't exist anymore. He just wants a coach that will just follow whatever he says and guess who's gonna follow whatever he says. The career assistant who is down the hall. He'll never. Thank you for the opportunity, sir. Ever since Bill Parcells, he's not gonna hire someone who is gonna have that Alpha Energy and be like, this is my show.
Madison Keys' victory over Aryna Sabalenka proves that America is once again a dominant force in professional tennis.
Ariana Sabalenka, notorious best women's tennis player. Got number one seed... Got smoked by Madison Keys, American 19th seed in the tournament. Major upset. USA Aussie Open Champion America's back.
Duke is a formidable team, but their dominance is skewed by the fact that the ACC is currently a weak conference.
Duke is a problem, but the ACC fucking sucks. So I'm just gonna tell myself that they're good only because they're killing everyone in the ACC.
College basketball needs 'asshole' coaches like Dan Hurley to be interesting.
College basketball needs asshole coaches. That's what it was built on... I need a coach K, I need a like as much as I hate Coach K, he has that that like, ah, I hate him. I wanna root against him. Dan Hurley is that if you hate him, that's good for college basketball. So I want him to do whatever he wants to do.
Jaden Daniels is a better quarterback than Jared Goff and Jalen Hurts
My quarterback is better than yours. That's what I told him to give [Jared Goff]. Well guess what I'm gonna say against the Philadelphia Eagle, my quarterback is better than yours. So at the end of the day, the quarterback position sometimes with fine state.
The NFC Championship is a must-win game for the Commanders; they aren't guaranteed to be back next year
Everybody's saying that the commanders, you know, this is the start. They'll expect to be back. I disagree with that. This is you, when you're in the NFC championship game, you have to need to win. I'm declaring it's a must win game.
The Bills must let Josh Allen be 'Superman' and attack early to beat the Chiefs
I hope the Bills let Josh Allen just fucking chuck it. And I hope they let him just be Superman... to win this game, you gotta just, you gotta like step on them early and never let them back in it. Because if you let this be at one possession game in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs are gonna win.
Jaden Daniels is a Jedi force multiplier who makes everyone better
We got a Jedi, a quarterback Jedi 5. The, the, the ultimate force multiplier. It's, it's changed everything... He's shown you, I am the ultimate force multiplier. I'm gonna make everybody around me better no matter what.
Steve Spagnuolo belongs in the Hall of Fame as a defensive coordinator
If you get three in a row and this defense plays well again, I think Spag should probably be considered for the Hall of Fame at that point. I agree... I don't know how you can have a list without him pretty high on the defensive side.
The National Championship game should be played no later than January 10th
January 10th should be the latest they play the national championship. You can't have it. You can't have four NFL teams left and still not have a national title champion for college football. It just feels weird. It feels off. It's stupid.
Hiring Ben Johnson literally changes everything for the Bears and they are 'all the way back'
If I were to say what I was gonna really feel... I would say that hiring Ben Johnson literally changes everything about this franchise and it's all the way back... This hire is so different than what, what the Bears are usually able to pull off. And he was, and the guy's a fucking boy genius.
Sports should normalize a 24-hour window for sore losers to act out
I think we need to normalize more like bad losers. Like let 'em, let 'em be sore losers for a minute... I think we should have like a 24-hour hour shock clock for big games fans and, and players alike that anything they, they should be able to say whatever they want and it shouldn't count long term.
Travis Kelce remains elite because his mental game compensates for declining athleticism
Even as you've seen maybe his athleticism come back a few notches the last few years, he's still just as effective because of how smart he is. Zone coverage, he's gonna be able to find those holes. Patrick's gonna be able to look around the field and then find him.
Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa, and Brock Purdy are system-dependent quarterbacks
There's other guys that you could sprinkle around and put 'em in the right systems. And I think Tua is like that. I think Brock [Purdy] is like that. I think Jalen [Hurts] is probably like that, where if you get 'em in the right spot, then they can be as good as anybody. But you can't necessarily pick them up and drop them in any situation and have them be elite.
The Ravens lost to the Bills because they failed to run Derrick Henry on the goal line
Why the fuck did we throw the ball? And when we were first in goal, where the fuck did we run it four times? Why the fuck did we bring Derrick Henry if we're goal line and they're not gonna throw the fucking ball?
The Texans got absolutely screwed by penalties against the Chiefs
The first thing can be that the Texans got absolutely screwed by penalties. And the second thing that can also be true is the Chiefs deserve to win this game because they outplayed him... But if you're a Texans fan, you have every right to bitch about that for the next week straight.
Dan Campbell is not a 'winner' until he wins a Super Bowl
I'm just not giving him the label of Dan Campbell winner... He's a good coach, but not a winner. [He needs to win a] Super Bowl. That's what I said the first time.
Patrick Mahomes purposely baits defenders into illegal hits for flags
[Mahomes'] thing where he lets up on purpose to try to get goat players into hitting him is bullshit. It's bullshit. Like you can't, it's so hard for defenders to hit a quarterback in today's NFL... he was scrambling and like almost stood still waiting for a guy to hit him illegally or hit him out of bounds.
NFL defenses have officially figured out Patrick Mahomes
What we're seeing Patrick Mahomes do this season, this might be the NFL figuring out Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Because when he had Tyreek Hill and he was putting up all those crazy stats and numbers, that was before Defenses adjusted... and they won 15 games.
Jaden Daniels is the best quarterback in the NFC
I think Jayden is, God. Jayden is, he's the best. I think he's the best quarterback in the NFC. I think he's probably top five in the NFL.
Jaden Daniels would have failed if the Bears had drafted him
I also think that if Jaden Daniels was drafted by the Bears, he wouldn't have been good. That's neither here nor there. This is more about Jaden Daniels... circumstance and everything around it matters.
The hierarchy of AFC QBs is Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, then Burrow
I like that we've got a nice clean hierarchy for now though of AFC quarterbacks. Goes Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and then Joe Burrow. If [Burrow] was in the playoffs, he'd just probably be beating everybody.
The Bills and New Orleans are essentially sister cities
Buffalo and New Orleans that is the same city and it doesn't make sense, but it does. Like Buffalo is gonna win a Super Bowl. It shouldn't be in New Orleans... They're both drunk. Yeah, that's what he was going for. One has like huge tits that they show every couple times a year. The other likes beef on weck and wings. They're sisters though.
Losing to PFT and the Commanders in the playoffs is worse than losing to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl
Losing to Hank is worse than losing to PFT... but this is worse [than the Super Bowl]. The Super Bowl was, was the opening of a window and you lose to Mahomes and as much as it sucks it's Patrick Mahomes. [PFT] would have to look at you every single day pretty much for the rest of his life.
Divisional Round is the best sports weekend of the year
This is my favorite sports weekend of the year. Because in Wild Card weekend, sometimes you have, you get some lopsided matchups. Divisional round, you get the prestigious teams, you get the elite teams.
Dion Sanders to the Cowboys would be an incredible story for the NFL
I want it because it would be just an incredible story for the NFL. Having Dion in the NFL, especially for the Dallas Cowboys, would be awesome. I wanna see Dion interacting with Jerry Jones... Dion will not be pushed around by Jerry Jones.
If you think Justin Herbert is a bad quarterback, I question whether or not you watch football
I mean, if you really think that Justin Herbert is a bad quarterback, I question whether or not you watch football. I do.
Returning punts is the scariest play in football because of the high risk of a game-changing turnover.
Returning punts is the scariest play in football for me. Because I feel that it has to be the highest percentage play of turnover. It's very easy to turn the ball over on a punt and it completely changes the game.
To beat the Detroit Lions, you have to match their aggression and go for it on every fourth down.
To beat the Detroit Lions, you have to be the Detroit Lions. Right. So, you gotta go for it every fourth down... the tone of a possession where an offense has four downs is uneasy for a defense.
Sean Payton is one of the greatest coaches in NFL history and remains elite due to his situational intelligence.
I think Sean Payton's one of the greatest coaches to ever coach in my opinion. He's so ball smart. He got all those situational nuggets from [his mentors] and then he puts his very physical caveman edge on it.
Sean McVay is one of the best coaches of our generation
I think Sean McVay is a wizard. I really do. I think Sean McVay is one of the best coaches of our generation. I think he is that good.
I would take Mike McCarthy as the Jets head coach immediately
Oh yeah, I would, I would take him in a, in a second. Yeah. He, he three straight seasons of 12 and five. The Jets haven't had a winning record in 10 years.
I am confident I could tackle Booger McFarland if given enough time
I'm confident that I could tackle you [Booger McFarland] if you gave me enough time. ... I would simply want it more. That's the key is you just have to want it more than the other guy. ... I would kind of do the Olay and let him get right by me and then jump on his shoulders and then he'd have to carry me like a backpack and then hopefully slow him down for somebody else.
Jalen Hurts is like a burger with no cheese or condiments — he's missing the 'extra' factor
It's like having a a, a hamburger with no cheese on it and no condiments... it's a burger. Everybody loves burgers. But is the burger really that good without the condiments?... Unless you're five years old, nobody really eats a plain burger. I think that's Jalen Hurts. Like Jalen Hurts is like the burger, but we just continue to wait when we are gonna get the toppings... we haven't got the in and out double double animal style since the Super Bowl.
NIL and the transfer portal have ended the era of SEC and Clemson dominance in college football
I think the years and the ages were the SEC and to a certain extent the ACC would Clemson dominate college football is over with. And you, you look no further than the transfer portal and NIL because no longer can these teams in the south stack their rosters because I'm not gonna wait two years to play when I can go to Penn State or Oregon or Michigan and I can play right now.
Jaden Daniels is already a top 10 quarterback in the NFL
To me Jaden Daniels is already top 10. He's already a top 10 quarterback.
Power Slap is the most successful business I have ever been part of in such a short time
The most successful business I've ever been a part of in such a short amount of time. [Power Slap]
I'm buying all the Justin Herbert stock right now
I'll say this right now, and this isn't me defending Justin Herbert because he was terrible on Saturday. I will buy all the Justin Herbert stock right now... If you think that he's just like a terrible quarterback, that's fine. I still think he's pretty good.
The Chiefs aren't as good as their 15-win record suggests
The Chiefs could lose this game [against the Texans]. They're not as good... They're not as good as their record says they are... if you stacked 'em up against the other teams that had similar records over the course of history, like they would be the worst one.
Justin Tucker might be the Ravens' biggest weakness right now
They are as close to a complete team as you can get. With the exception, maybe they're kicking game... They're so good right now that Justin Tucker might be their biggest weakness.
You can't win in the modern NFL without a high-level offense
You can't really win... You can't win in today's NFL without an offense.
