Moses Malone was the best overall rebounder in NBA history

Moses Malone was the best. The way he talked about rebounding... my thing was you got to know who on your team and know the type of [shot]... but it's a lot of hard work. Moses was the best overall rebounder.

I would average 20 points and 20 rebounds in today's NBA

I'd probably get 20-20. One thing about rebound now is the field goal percentage is probably down 3 or 4% than when we played... more three-pointers being taken, so that means maybe more rebound opportunities... They can't shoot, really. I mean, the shooting is bad.

P.J. Tucker is the toughest guy in the NBA right now

I don't know who tough. I mean, I ain't seen a fight. I see it by the hug and kissing... maybe Tucker. P.J. Tucker. I mean, I like the way he played, and he got up in KD, phased in, back down.

Michael Jordan is #1 all-time and LeBron James is #2

MJ1, LeBron2. They always want to throw a center at 30, so we're going to have to give it to probably Kareem or Shaq.

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.

The Buffalo Bills will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LVI

Well, my Super Bowl matchup before the season was Buffalo and Tampa Bay. And I think I'll stick with that for now... I think the Bills are the best team in the AFC. And the Cardinals are playing well, but I think Tampa Bay will get it together and start playing really well on defense.

The Patriots will round into form and flip a switch halfway through the season

I do think the Patriots are going to round into form. Now they have - clearly the Bills are the best team in the AFC East. But I do think the Patriots are going to be one of those teams where halfway through the season, everyone will be like, wait, this team, why are they getting points on the road? Why are people doubting them? Like they're going to flip a switch and everything's going to start kind of working a little bit.

Taylor Heinicke is a young Ryan Fitzpatrick

Taylor Heinicke is just a young Ryan Fitzpatrick because he's fucking psycho. He doesn't play by any of the rules... He loves throwing across his body. He loves throwing across the field. He loves almost getting sacked. It's crazy.

I am all the way back on Daniel Jones and I'm starting to think the Giants might be good

I'm all the way back on Danny Dimes... Something about that game was incredible... I now think the Giants might be good and it's a sickness of mine and it's obviously partly because I bet on them. I feel vindicated, but that was good Danny Dimes.

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 Panthers are not actually a good team yet

I think the Panthers are—and I told you I had my eye on them and I wasn't ready to say they were good and I'm not ready to say they're good because they've beaten the worst teams in the NFL... they took a step up in class today and it was not the same team.

The Cowboys are better than the Packers

The Cowboys are legit good. I think the Cowboys are better than you think they are. I think they're better than the Packers... Right now, I think they're better than Packers. Complete team.

The Lions will win at least one game this season

They'll get a win. They will get a win. The lions will get a win. They have the Falcons later and then they play the Packers week 17 who probably have already won the north... I'm going to say it right now. They'll get a win.

The Vikings will finish 8-9 and are the new version of the San Diego Chargers

I think maybe the Vikings are going to take the place of the Philip Rivers San Diego Chargers... It's always going to come down to the last possession... They'll finish like eight and nine and be like, alright, well, they could have finished 14 and three or they could have finished three and 14.

The Chiefs' shovel pass will get intercepted on a primetime game soon

I'm calling my shot. Like on a Sunday night, Monday night game, they're going to do the shovel pass and someone's going to intercept it... I think that's going to get blown up at some point and everyone's gonna be like, oh, look at them. They're trying to get too cute with it.

The Eagles are in trouble if they lose to the Panthers next week

I think actually next week, I'm going to call it right now. The Eagles at the Panthers. That might be a like loser leaves town game, because it feels like if the Panthers lose at home to the Eagles, they're not for real. If the Eagles ended up being one and four after starting one and oh, like there it's over.

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.

The Colts will win the AFC South

I think the Colts are gonna probably win the AFC South and I'm going to have to sweat out this pinky... the Colts are better than they've looked and today they finally looked halfway decent and they're going to start rounding into shape.

The Bills are the prohibitive favorites for the AFC if they beat the Chiefs next week

I'm so excited for next Sunday night because the Bills, if the Bills win in Kansas city next Sunday night, like they are the prohibitive favorites to win the AFC championship.

The Steelers have no offensive identity beyond three plays

The Steelers are so sad, so, so sad. They have two plays that they run all game. They run either Diontae Johnson or Chase Claypool streaking down the sideline... and Big Ben tries to throw a big looping pass... And then they have a dump off when they need six yards... they're just not a good football team.

The Packers are going to go on a tear and are a very good team

I think the Packers are very good. I really do. Unfortunately think the Packers... I think the Packers are gonna just go on a tear. And I mean, their office is very hard to stop and they play just enough defense that it's yeah, they're a really good team.

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.

The Cardinals will never win a big road playoff game in the cold

If you flash forward right now, and it is the last week of January and the Arizona Cardinals are going to Green Bay—come on. It just doesn't make sense in my brain. That some teams just, you don't make sense of them winning a big game on the road in a playoff environment.

Larry Fitzgerald will come back later this year and play for the Cardinals

I do think that [Larry Fitzgerald] is going to come back later on this year and play on the Cardinals... especially if there's an injury.

Trevor Lawrence has officially arrived in the NFL

Trevor Lawrence has officially arrived in the NFL. He played very well. This was officially his first game.

Urban Meyer looks miserable and doesn't like coaching in the NFL

Urban Meyer, what are you doing? Urban Meyer doesn't like coaching football. It was pretty apparent like in the first half... He just looks like he's miserable out there all the time. I don't know why he does it to himself.

The Bengals are officially on 'frisky watch'

The Bengals, I think are officially on frisky watch. Who is more frisky? The Bengals or the Panthers. I think the Panthers... The Bengals just joined the Panthers in the frisky watch.

The Buccaneers are going to kill the Patriots on Sunday Night Football

I think I do agree with you that the [Buccaneers] are probably gonna kill the Patriots. Do you think they're going to? The [Buccaneers] are sick. Yeah.

The moment might be too big for McCorkell Jones in Brady's Foxborough return

The moment might actually be too big for McCorkell Jones because he's obviously a rookie quarterback and he feels like he's got a lot of responsibility taking over this franchise... getting to see it up close and personal when you're going to have every fan at the stadium that's rooting for you also give a standing ovation to the guy that was there before you.

Mike Tomlin is a lock to cover or win as a 6+ point underdog

I'm taking the Steelers plus seven. I realized Mike Tomlin as an underdog... Mike Tomlin is a six plus point underdog is nine, three, and one against the spread. I think they win this game outright.

The Browns will beat the Vikings because Kevin Stefanski knows all of Minnesota's secrets

I'm going with the Browns minus two. I'm just going simply Kevin Stefanski was a coach for the Vikings for 14 years. He knows everything about them and Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney sack—visualize Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney running free off the edge for Kirk Cousins.

Kirk Cousins will turn back into a 'pumpkin' on Halloween against the Cowboys

I've actually identified exactly when [Kirk Cousins] is going to turn back into old Kirk Cousins... Halloween. I think he's going to have the entire month of October this year, and then on Halloween he's playing in against the Cowboys and he's got some tougher defenses that he's going to be going up against.

Dak Prescott is a great value bet at 13-1 to win the MVP

Dak Prescott, 13 to one to win the MVP because you got to look at the narrative comeback. Everyone wants, you know, America, especially the, the writers want the Cowboys to be good so they can talk about it.

The Washington Football Team's season is over if they lose to the Falcons

If the football team loses [to the Falcons], season done. Done. Because they have the hardest scheduling. And we just have, we have to get to December within like four games of 500.

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.

The Chiefs will 'clown' the Eagles and make them look like a clown show

My favorite is the Chiefs minus seven against the Eagles. They're going to absolutely clown [them]. No, literally they're going to make the Eagles look like clowns. Mahomes is going to run around like throw some fucking deep bomb.

The Ben Simmons holdout is unique because for once, the team is good and the player is the problem

This is uncharted territory because whenever you have a holdout or a guy demanding a trade it's because he's really, really good. And his team sucks and he's like the franchise won't support me. It's the exact opposite. The team is good. And Ben Simmons sucks. So it's like you have all the support. You are just the problem.

The 2021 US Ryder Cup team is the best of all time

I mean, it's hard to argue that we weren't. It's I mean, we put up the most points in history. I mean, selfishly I'm I might be just slightly biased, but until someone puts up 20 or 19 and a half points or 20 points, I think we have that right at this moment.

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.

I regret ejecting a fan for a 'get in the bunker' cheer; it was a soft move

It was definitely one of the moments I'm not proud of... of all things like that's the guy I chose to throw out. I clearly would not have had that over, but I wish I could have like made it an interaction... It was very soft. A hundred percent.

Alabama will beat Ole Miss but won't cover the spread in a shootout

I think it's going to be a shootout. I think Lane Kiffin is one of a kind and I think he knows Coach's [Saban] ways pretty well... I don't think the Tide's going to cover, but I think they win.

I guarantee I will win six tournaments on the PGA Tour this season

I'm going to go with six [wins]. [That's a considerable amount of wins]. I'm trying.

My AEW return at the United Center is the number one moment of my career

Number one easily, number one far and away. What that represented, what the moment was far and away. Number one moment in my career, easily, easily. It's like number one. And then there's a gap. And then there's number two.

AEW wins if they just focus on putting out a better product than WWE

The only thing we have to do is put out a better product and we win in my opinion. You know, we don't have a show that goes head to head on Mondays. We're not trying to quote unquote, put them out of business. My take on that is if we just focus on ourselves and we tighten up all our screws and we make our show better then we win.

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.

The Blackhawks will be back in the playoffs this year

I think [the Blackhawks] will be good. Seth Jones getting Marc-Andre Fleury for absolutely nothing... I think they'll be back in the playoffs this year. Let's say that.

The Cowboys are the best team in the NFC East right now

The Cowboys are the best team in that division [NFC East] right now, for sure.

The Cowboys are a good team

I think we can say though, without any, I'm not going to do any qualifiers. The Cowboys are good. They're a good team.

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.

Jalen Hurts might be the best backup quarterback in the history of football

I think Jalen Hurts might be the best backup quarterback in the history of football... great teammate, great teammate. So yeah, keep him around.
