Takes

The Bears might be back and could beat the Packers next week

The Bears might be back. I'm just going to say it right now. I know that I only have a week to say this because they have to play the Packers on Sunday... But I have also told myself I think the Bears might beat the Packers because that's Soldier Field.

I think Geno Smith might be a franchise quarterback

I think Geno Smith, I think he might be a franchise quarterback.

I am officially 'standing my ground' on the Steelers against the Broncos

My personal stand my ground game where if the Steelers don't win this game, I am done not only with the Steelers this season, but done betting on them, just pretending they don't exist. This is the game that if they have any pulse left, it's a pulse check. If they have any pulse left, they will win this game.

The Cowboys are currently #2 in the NFL if we used BCS rankings

If we did BCS rankings for the teams right now, I think the Super Bowl would maybe be the Cardinals versus the Cowboys because the Cowboys have the best loss. I think the Cowboys might be number two in the BCS.

Deontay Wilder is a pathetic loser

I don't hate the guy. Guy's a pathetic loser. So how could I have any anger with him at all?

Garrett Cole will be chased from the Wild Card game after only two innings

Garrett Cole getting chased after two innings would be great. Schwarber going yard off Cole, hitting the ball 500 feet.

Urban Meyer will not finish the season as the Jaguars head coach

Is this going to end Urban Meyer's career in the NFL before the season's over? I think it's more Bobby Petrino than Nick Saban. I really do. I think this is bad, man. And it's not just because of this. There's been so many other things that have gone on... I think it puts Urban Meyer in a position where maybe he would resign. Maybe they work out a little bit of a settlement.

I am all the way back on Daniel Jones and the Giants might be good

I'm all the way back on Danny Dimes... Something about that game was incredible. He was like, there are so many times where I'm like Danny Dimes is going to throw a pick, Danny Dimes is going to fumble. He was awesome today. Saquon Barkley was awesome. The Giants, I now think the Giants might be good and it's a sickness of mine.

Trevon Diggs should be in the MVP discussion and is the Defensive Player of the Year

I think that Trevon Diggs, if the season ended today, should get credit and consideration for MVP. Five interceptions in four games... He is the defensive player of the year right now, and he should be in the MVP discussion. At least he's really, really good.

The Jets will shellack the Falcons in London

I actually, this may be over, you know, can over-confident but I think they're going to shellack the Falcons in London.

Ben Roethlisberger might retire in the middle of the season

I really think Big Ben might just - he should just retire halfway through... I'm going to say it right now. I think it's bad, man. It's bad... I don't want to watch you every Sunday. Depressing. It's depressing.

Panthers vs Cowboys Under 51.5 is my lock of the year

My under, this is almost a lock for me actually. In my Billy metrics. This is my first, my lock of the year so far. Panthers Cowboys under 51 and a half... every single game that the Panthers have played in this year, the total has been exactly 33.

Max Homa's Fortinet Championship win should have an asterisk

I'm glad you brought it up. Cause I was going to bring it up, but yeah, I think it's got to be right? [Not a real tournament]. Yeah man, I boy, I hate to do that to Max. I mean, you could also argue that it really wasn't even Max because with that mustache, it doesn't even look like him.

WWE fosters a culture where wrestlers are encouraged to step on each other's necks

Vince always fostered this, this a culture where he wanted everybody at their throat. He wanted people stepping on your neck to get to where you are and ahead of you and all that other stuff. And now I think there's wrestlers on both sides who were like, whatever, let's all go get pancakes.

Jalen Hurts might be the best backup in the NFL for the next decade

I think [Jalen Hurts] might be, here's something nice about Jalen Hurts. I think he might be the best backup in the NFL for the next decade.

Bryce Young cannot win a national title with a TikTok name

I'm gonna say it, I'll bet Bryce Young not gonna win the title this year. Bryce Young is a TikTok name.

Joe West is a baseball great and deserves appreciation

Joe West is what we need. He's an all-time great. Joe West is baseball. And if you don't like Joe West, you got a dump in your pants.

Jimmy Garoppolo will be traded mid-season

I do agree with you though. I think that the clock is ticking on Jimmy G. It just feels like Jimmy G gets traded mid season.

The Buccaneers are going to beat the Patriots by 30 in Tom Brady's return

My gut feeling is like the Bucs are going to beat them by 30... There's no great signs, there's no great throws, there's no good drives. They didn't get a first down until like the second quarter.

Matthew Stafford will be in the Hall of Fame

I actually feel really good about my take, my long standing take that Matt Stafford is going to be in the Hall of Fame... if he can figure out a way to get to a Super Bowl or even win a Super Bowl ring, then it's like, he's a hall of famer.

Davis Mills is not an NFL-caliber quarterback.

There's a lot of stuff that I'm sure Davis Mills is really, really good at... but playing NFL quarterback isn't one of them.

The Las Vegas Raiders are the most fraudulent 2-0 team in the NFL.

The Raiders are the most fraudulent 2-0 team... I don't know if they're that good. I think they're okay. They're not that good.

Officials changed how they called the game in the second half of the 2015 National Championship.

I'm pissed because the officials changed out. They called the game from first to second half... Coach K worked really hard... and they changed how they called the game and I will say that to my dying day.

Oklahoma is a big time fraud

I do think that Oklahoma's big time fraud. Yeah. Big time fraud. They, they just, they don't look good at all. Like Spencer Rattler was, he's got the name. I thought he was going to be great. Mostly just because of the name... but he hasn't looked great.

An NFL team will draft Bo Nix in the second round

I'm also starting to buy back in on the fact that some team is going to draft Bo Nix in the second round. It's going to happen... and it's going to be terrible.

If you haven't been to the dentist in over three years, just never go again

Anyone who has not been there for more than three years, just never go again ever... she was the dental hygienist was just ripping up my mouth, blood everywhere. And she was like, if you did, if you came in every six months, none of this would have happened. And I was like, well, what if I just never came in again? None of this would've happened... I would recommend it to all of you... It is absolutely the worst.

Mickey Sudo might beat Joey Chestnut in the next Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest

Mickey Sudo only ate 45 hot dogs for the Nathan's hot dog eating contest. So she was able to eat way more bratwurst, even though they're bigger... if these trends are correct, Joey Chestnut might get knocked off this next hot dog eating contest. I'm just saying by a woman.

A scientific study proves that squirting is actually just pee

There was a study done on squirting where they hook an MRI machine up to someone's bladder... and the bladder's empty. Wait. So it's piss. It came from the bladder.

Zach Wilson will eventually be out of the NFL and working at Barstool Sports

Zach Wilson is going to be a very funny thing that happens to this podcast. As you attempt to find a way to spin this... he will end up on this podcast when he's out of the league... and then we're like, oh man, like, he's going to get a job at Barstool in a couple of years when he's had a leak, it's going to be Billy and Zach.

Urban Meyer will leave Jacksonville to take the USC head coaching job in a few weeks

Urban Meyer afterwards released a statement... And it might not be me because I'm going to take the USC job in a few weeks. But the rest of this group, they're going to get this thing flipped.

Daniel Jones is the fastest player in the NFL

He's the fastest player in the NFL that's what next gen stats taught us last year he was faster than Lamar Jackson

Saquon Barkley might not be good anymore

I just want to shout out real quick because I had a take today that Saquon Barkley... Maybe is he not good? I don't know. But he's been injured... it's also like you watch him play, and there are times you're like, wait, what is he looking at?

The Jets will upset the Patriots in Week 2

Jets are going to win. It's going to be upset. [Zach Wilson] is a guy who can beat the Patriots.

Max Verstappen was at fault for the crash with Lewis Hamilton at Monza

Max's car is literally on Lewis's head, and he just walked away... I said Max is a jerk... Max obviously drives to the edge... I would say my rule of thumb is nine times out of 10. If you drive over another guy's head, it's probably your fault.

Urban Meyer will leave the Jaguars for USC if they start 2-7

If the Jaguars start – I'll even say if they start – 2-7, there's like a 50% chance that Urban Meyer leaves for USC. If it's like 0-6, yeah, I think it's pretty likely.

Matt Nagy has lost credibility with the Bears locker room by benching Justin Fields

I do think that we're getting close to the point where Matt Nagy is going to lose credibility with his team if he doesn't play Justin Fields. He's already lost it.

Urban Meyer is going to ruin Trevor Lawrence

I'm in the camp of the Jaguars are going to ruin Trevor Lawrence and it starts with Urban Meyer. This Urban Meyer thing. They looked undisciplined. We've heard the reports that people are like, yeah, it kind of sucks to have to play for a guy like Urban Meyer in pro.

The Buffalo Bills will beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl

And it's the Buffalo Bills winning it all, beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Joe Tryon will be the Defensive Rookie of the Year

I think defensively, I think Joe Tryon is going to be the rookie of the year. That kid's unblockable. ... of all the guys I saw in training camp, he was the most impressive rookie of all of them.

You either have 'it' as a quarterback or you don't; sitting and learning doesn't help

You either have it or you don't. ... Everybody always says, well, Aaron Rodgers got the watch for a couple years before he played, and it really helped make him a better quarterback. No, it didn't. You either have it or you don't.

Justin Jefferson will be the best receiver in the league by the end of the year

Justin Jefferson is going to be the best receiver in the league by the end of the year.

The first person to live to 200 years old has already been born

They think the first person to live to 200 has already been born. There have been studies that have been done. No, Big Cat, you didn't read the studies that I read.

A silverback gorilla could defeat an elephant by choking it out

I'm going to go elephant versus silverback gorilla. If the elephant can fucking get on his back and get him in a chokehold... [A] gorilla can tap out an elephant.

Terrell Owens would suit up and play in a Jackson State game if allowed

[Terrell Owens] would do it. T.O. would do it.

Coach O could face a Gene Chizik-style quick firing if LSU doesn't improve

Let me remind you of a name, Gene Chizik. Gene Chizik won a national title in 2010, went undefeated, was fired in 2012. So it is possible that this happens [to Ed Orgeron]. And what was disturbing about LSU was the defense... They're either going to get this worked out... or we're having the Gene Chizik conversation midseason.

Smoking an analog cigarette is cool as fuck

Smoking a cigarette. Yeah. Smoking a cigarette looks cool. Very harmful. I don't care if it's vape these days, but smoking, smoking, smoking an analog cigarette is cool as fuck. It's cool. It is.

A Group of Five team will never make the College Football Playoff in the four-team format

No, a Group of Five team... as long as the playoffs stays at four teams, a Group of Five teams never get again, period. I don't care who they play or what we have to remember who put the playoff together. Yeah. The Power Five. Why did they put it together? For money. They are not going to willfully share that money with a Cincinnati or a Boise State.

Wisconsin will beat Penn State by double figures

I got a take that I'm trying to get out in front of here... Penn State, Wisconsin, Wisconsin wins by double figures. James Franklin hot seat. True or false.

Cam Newton is no longer a starting-caliber quarterback

I don't think he's a starter. He wasn't a, he wasn't good enough to be a starter. I mean, he was a starter last year, but he wasn't, he didn't play like one for the majority of the year. I objectively think cam Newton's good anymore. He objectively was bad for the majority of last season.

Cam Newton would still be on the Patriots if he were vaccinated

I think if cam Newton was vaccinated, he'd still be on the team.
