Takes

The Colts are frauds

If you're not a fraud, this is a game you win. [The Colts] are frauds. That was their game to lose and they choked.

Jackson Smith-Njigba is the best wide receiver in the NFL this season

I have been saying Jackson Smith-Njigba has been the best wide receiver this season for a month and it is facts. He's incredible... He's on pace to break an NFL record of 2,029 yards.

Miles Garrett should be the NFL MVP if he breaks the all-time sack record

Miles Garrett should be the MVP if he breaks the all-time sacks record, which it looks like he's on pace to break/smash/shatter... If Miles Garrett does all this on the Browns, that's equivalent to Lawrence Taylor doing it on crack.

Lane Kiffin will leave Ole Miss to coach LSU

I feel like it's gotten the point where you, if I had to guess I would say LSU. [Lane Kiffin] is probably gonna leave. I'm changing my, I know I said like two weeks ago I didn't think he was gonna leave.

Sam Darnold will eventually revert to his old, mistake-prone self because 'you are what you are'

Usually this league you are what you are. You're gonna have moments where you're up here... and moments when you're down here... eventually you're in the middle and that's who you are... [Sam Darnold] looked frazzled [last week] and that can't happen. It just can't happen in the big games... there's a Sam Darnold problem at least in my mind.

Dan Campbell's fourth-down aggression is 'aggressive stupidity'

Dan Campbell goes for it all the time... I'm okay with aggression. I'm not okay with aggressive stupidity. That's the [difference]... if he had kicked field goals the other night, would he have won the game?

NFL teams should be required to win at least four games to receive their first-round draft pick

Dumb rule: teams should have to win four games to get their first pick. So at the end of the season, a Raiders Monday Night Football game has actual consequences where it's like they need to desperately win this game to get their allotted first-round pick.

Billionaires who don't own a professional sports team are losers

I've said it a million times, I think it's a very strong take. If you are a billionaire and you don't own a professional sports team, you're a loser. ... The only reason you get that much money is to go buy a team.

This will be AJ Brown's last season with the Philadelphia Eagles

This is my gut feeling. I think this is AJ Brown's last season in Philadelphia. I think regardless of whether they win the championship or not, I think they're gonna move on from him. And Howie Roseman will continue to do what he's done masterfully, which is rebuild this team.

Pat Fitzgerald is the absolute best fit to be the next head coach at Penn State

Pat Fitzgerald. One blank. Agree. If the Penn State people can get past allegedly what happened at Northwestern... doesn't it make a lot of sense? ... I was ready to go outside and head to the Northeast and just get cold and frozen and play for Pat Fitzgerald.

The best way to surprise a girl with a proposal is to do a fake one at a sports game first

The surprise is already over because you already are planning it. ... The only way he could truly surprise you is doing it at a sports game... center court at a mid-tier college basketball game. ... He does a fake proposal to you at a sports game and then he's like 'piss you off! Just kidding!'

Raheem Morris is on the hot seat after five straight losses

I think that I've been hesitant to say Raheem Morris is on the hot seat. He's on the hot seat now. This is five in a row that the Falcons have lost.

I think the Rams are Super Bowl championship level team. 'Cause their defense is also elite... the Rams to me are the best team in the NFC right now.

Bo Nicks outplayed Patrick Mahomes... The Broncos are better than the Chiefs right now. Like, that's just a fact. And they are a legitimate threat and a really, really fucking good team.

The Chiefs are still going to figure it out and win the Super Bowl

It's the Chiefs. They're gonna win the Super Bowl. Whenever you think they're down, that's when they come back. Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, the Chiefs, they are gonna figure it out.

Josh McDaniels is a great offensive coordinator who will eventually get a third head coaching shot

I think Josh McDaniels, he needs more respect. I've been saying that he's, he is a great offensive coordinator and we definitely, we whiffed on Wednesday's show when we talk about retread head coaches... McDaniels is, he is that guy that got the second shot, he's gonna get another shot.

LSU is a top-three job in college football and is better than the Alabama job

I caught a bunch of flack for saying I think LSU is a top three job in college football... I think it's a better job than Alabama... They've got more resources at LSU than there are at Alabama... Alabama doesn't have [boosters like Todd Graves] guys. They don't.

Ohio State vs. Indiana is the toughest matchup in the country for the Buckeyes

If I were to say of any team in the country, like what's the toughest matchup for Ohio State? It's Indiana... because they can run the football... Mendoza is also very good... That's gonna make life difficult on what I think is the best defense in college football.

Alabama will not win the National Championship because they are too one-dimensional

Ba—Bama fans already hate me... Bama's not winning that game [against Ohio State]. The thing with Bama, I love what Alabama does throwing the football. They are not good enough elsewhere. So they're going to run into a matchup that is not favorable for them and they will lose.

The College Football Playoff committee is intentionally keeping JMU out because they don't want any 'presidents' in the bracket

I think it's a anti-PFT thing. I think maybe the college football playoff committee has gone woke and they don't want any presidents in their bracket. Makes sense. It's sad. I mean, just fast forward 20 years, Trump University probably will be blacklisted too.

The Anthony Davis to the Lakers trade will be seen as a win-win in ten years

Rob Pelinka texted Nico Harrison and said something like, man, I I I would do it again because I I really think we both won... It was a good trade. In 10 years, they will be singing your praises.

You go back, you go back and you have real conversations with your people. You know, you go to another realm... The medicine brought me places that definitely put me at peace with things that were, I had turmoil in my system.

The Commanders should not let Jayden Daniels play for the rest of the season

Under no circumstances should Jayden Daniels step foot on the field with this team this year. The defense is Yes, historically bad... I'm full on tanking. And, and there was a report last week that, that Jayden might come back after the buy. You should. I, I wanna be perfectly clear about this. Under no circumstances should Jayden Daniels step foot on the field.

Jonathan Taylor will win NFL MVP if the Colts finish with the best record in the league

If the Colts have the best record in the league and [Jonathan Taylor] has just an unreal season, yes. I I think he will get MVP.

Where would you put them in terms of the best teams in the A, FC? One to three? One to three?

I am going to read Don Quixote cover to cover

It is coaching malpractice for Brian Daboll to play Russell Wilson over Jameis Winston

The fact that [Brian Daboll] has Russ Wilson starting or coming in second off the bench instead of Jameis, is it's malpractice as a coach. I think that's actually a worse mistake than losing four consecutive games where you have a lead by 10 or more points.

Caleb Williams is the most talented quarterback in the NFC North

I, I don't think it's unreasonable to say [Caleb Williams] is the most talented quarterback in the division... he's got a different kind of talent like the extension of plays, the throwing off tar off platform. Like that's big in today's NFL.

Kyler Murray will be a great quarterback on a different team in three years

I think in like three years, Kyler Murray will be a very good quarterback on a different team... picture this Kyler Murray on the Saints.

Dabo Swinney will eventually leave Clemson for a fresh start at another major program

I think that he is John Calipari going to Arkansas waiting to happen... the writing's on the wall, the Browns, they've got eight of the top 150 draft picks in the next draft... maybe he takes a Florida State or something. Maybe he takes Florida.

Bo Nix is a better version of Tim Tebow

Is Bo Nix just a better version of Tim Tebow? ... I'm saying Tim Tebow for the Broncos was awesome. Tebow time was incredible. I'm saying better version.

Drake London is a top 5 wide receiver in the NFL right now

Since week four, I would put Drake London in my top five. ... If you were to get a guy for a game today, those are my top five: Jefferson, Jamar Chase, JSN, Puka Nacua, Drake London.

Mike McDaniel should be fired after the Dolphins' horrific loss to the Ravens

And Mike McDaniel you fired... it looked bad... they're just the most bad vibes team out there.

I see precision, I see design, I see, I see an attack that I just haven't seen in a while... Daniel Jones, like he knows exactly what he is looking at.

Terry McLaurin might be having financial problems because of a house lien

Did you guys see that there was a report that Terry McLaurin had a lien out on his house? ... I would say that there might be more to this story that's coming out. If you give 23 year olds $10 million, guess what? They're probably not gonna have $10 million when they're 30.

The Colts are currently the best team in football

The Colts are the best team in football right now. The Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. Those two things can exist.

Iowa could make the 12-team playoff if they run the table

I'll give you a a one that I think is really interesting and they're not even ranked yet... Iowa. Iowa's gotta run the table. But they're if they can beat USC they have to beat Oregon too... if you can beat both those two teams, you can win out and you will make the playoff at 10 and two with that record and that schedule.

Arkansas is a top-4 coaching job because of corporate NIL funding

My number four is, is gonna piss off some people... Arkansas. I looked at the John Calipari hire in basketball. Tyson Foods obviously putting a lot of the money toward that. They have massive corporate support there. Walmart's all over their field and all over their stadium. If they get their corporate money excited, you can be funded very well at Arkansas.

I am officially demanding a trade on behalf of AJ Brown

I side with AJ Brown. Yeah, I do. I do. It sounds like AJ his only crime. He's just too nice of a guy and he won't, he won't demand a trade. So I'll demand it for him. I'm demanding a trade on behalf of AJ Brown. Aj I will speak for you.

The Colts are currently the best team in the NFL

I was canned mid midweek last, last week by some what some are saying is maybe a corrupt commissioner. I was kicked from the league... He just like, sorry, had to drop you and because you didn't set the lineup how you should have set the lineup... The commissioner, coincidentally seventh place. I also wanna say commissioner, coincidentally first guy to make trades with the team.

The Blue Jays have no shot at beating the Dodgers in the World Series

I think [the Blue Jays] got no shot... I just don't think they have the—the Dodgers are too good. They don't have the pitching. [Kevin] Gausman would be [the Dodgers'] fifth starter.

Jahmyr Gibbs is the best running back in football

I have a take... Why are we never saying, and I'll fix this going forward, Jahmyr Gibbs is the best running back in football? Because I think he is. I think it is partially because his first two years he split a lot of carries with David Montgomery. Now it feels like they're like, alright, he is—that's one of the fastest I've ever seen someone on a football field.
