Takes

Shane Steichen should be the NFL Coach of the Year

Shane Steichen is coach of the year. That touchdown play, the Michael Pittman touchdown where they ran a fake rub route was like so perfectly—I'd have to imagine they had run that rub route a bunch of times and then to save the fake for that exact moment was ran to perfection.

Joe Flacco has an elite spiral and I'm bullish on him taking the Browns to the playoffs

Joe Flacco actually looked good today. The spiral was sick. He has an elite spiral. He was hitting dudes downfield. He had a connection with Elijah Moore. Flacco was still throwing the fuck out of the football today. I'm bullish on Joe Flacco. I think he's definitely better than DTR or PJ Walker. I could see Joe Flacco taking this team to the playoffs.

Jordan Love is actually good and the Packers will make the playoffs

The Packers are going to go to the playoffs and Jordan Love is good. And it's fucking bullshit. He looks so much better than he did at the beginning of the season. He's come along and it's bullshit. He looks comfortable. He is doing fucking Rodgers shit. The whole thing is bullshit. Nothing in life is fair.

Every NFC South coach who doesn't win the division will be fired

Whoever wins the NFC South will not fire their coach going into next season. Agreed. Every other team will... I'm not saying that they should... we can say the entire NFC South is coaching for their job.

The 49ers will beat the Eagles this Sunday, but the Eagles will win the NFC Championship rematch

The Eagles have the defense... played 92 snaps on Sunday. That's a lot of snaps... I feel like the Niners have this game circled more than the Eagles can. And I think that like, this will be the NFC championship game in the Eagles will probably beat them in the NFC championship game. But I feel like this Sunday it's Niners.

I will never officially retire from the NFL

I don't think I would ever retire. Oh. Oh... I'm one of those guys... if I were to come back at that particular point in time, it would be just for the fans... I'm just waiting on somebody to tick me off.

Florida State will get screwed out of the playoff because of ratings

Florida State will get fucked... they want to have big names in this playoff. And right now, Florida State, even though they are a big name traditionally, they don't have the same buzz as like a Texas would have. So I'm just thinking that Florida State will get fucked unless they win by like 40 points.

The Packers will probably get to 9 or 10 wins and make the playoffs

The Packers are gonna probably get to nine or 10 wins. And I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna have to kill myself... I think Jordan Love might be good... at five and six, I don't know, man, I'm a little nervous.

The Dolphins will be 11-3 heading into Christmas

Listen, [the Dolphins] have a chance to really get in a groove here. They've Commanders, Titans, Jets. Ooh, there, there's a very good chance they're 11 and three heading into Christmas.

The Panthers won't win another game

I don't think the Panthers are gonna win a game again... at Buccaneers: loss. at Saints: loss. Falcons: loss. Packers: loss. at Jaguars: loss. Probably Buccaneers again [loss].

Rashee Rice will emerge as the primary receiver for the Chiefs

This is the old visualization trick... it's late December. And Aaron Andrews is like, talk to me about how these young receivers have come along. And then they show a highlighter Rashee Rice just like ripping people up. And that's exactly what's gonna happen.

The Eagles are already Super Bowl champions

Congratulations to the Eagles for getting the one seed. I don't see them losing the Max. Congratulations. Eagles. super Bowl champions.

The Lions will whop the Packers on Thanksgiving

I don't think the Lions offense will look bad that bad, two games in a row. I think this might be a whopping by Lions. I think WIC qualifies as a whomping... I think it's like 17 plus in the NFL.

Dolphins will kill the Jets on Black Friday

I said this on Sunday. I'll say it again. I think the Dolphins, they have been taken out a, a fraud watch for me. I think they're very much for real and I think they will kill the Jets. We have Tim Boyle. It's Tim Boyle time.

You cannot leave an undefeated Florida State out of the College Football Playoff

If Florida State can be kept out if they're undefeated? I don't think you can... They won't leave out an undefeated Florida state. I'm pretty confident. And if they do, like everything's a mockery. Because you, you, it doesn't matter who's starting quarter, if they win all their games in a Power five conference, like you're essentially saying games don't matter.

The NFL will eventually face a massive gambling lawsuit over flawed injury reporting

I've been sounding that alarm... If you're gonna make millions from legalized gambling and you're gonna have an injury reporting system that is flawed, that is broken, that isn't enforced, and somebody eventually hides an injury... If I bet on the Bengals and the Bengals hid that information, that would be very relevant to me... they've gotta enforce that rule or they're gonna end up in a massive lawsuit. It's just a matter of time.

Bill Belichick will be the Commanders head coach in 2024

I think what'll happen behind the scenes, over the course of the next six, seven weeks, they'll work out a deal... Watch Bill Belichick to the commanders after the season. I believe it's gonna happen.

The Falcons will win the NFC South starting with a win this Sunday

I have a theory. I think the Falcons are gonna be good... after the buy. I think it starts right now... I think they're gonna win the NFC South. I think it starts on Sunday.

The Bills will make the playoffs and win 2 of their next 3 tough games

I think the Bills are gonna win. I think the Bills are gonna win two out of their next three. Which are at Chiefs. At Eagles at Chiefs versus Cowboys. I think the Bills are going to make the playoffs... everything that could've gone wrong to start their season went wrong... I think the Bills are gonna get back in the conversation.

If Joe Flacco wins a Super Bowl with the Browns, he's won two and he's definitively elite — I put a thousand dollars on it at 50-to-1

It would be so awesome if Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl with these Browns. As of Friday I put a thousand dollars future on the Browns thinking that they were gonna get Joe Flacco. So it pays out 50 to 1. If Joe Flacco wins a Super Bowl and he does his normal Joe Flacco thing where he doesn't make any mistakes, gets the pass interferences — that would contribute so much to the Flacco discourse. At that point he's won two Super Bowls. He's elite.

Joe Flacco winning a Super Bowl with the Browns is a real possibility

It would be so awesome if Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl with these Browns... I put a thousand dollars future on the Browns thinking that they were gonna get Joe Flacco... I'm making money on Joe Flacco.

The Steelers' season is over if they lose to the Bengals next week

They're not, the season's not dead yet. But if they drop, if they drop this next game at the Bengals season's cooked.

The Texans can win the AFC South

I think that the Texans can win the division. Because they play the Jaguars next weekend... If they beat the Jaguars, they I believe are in first place in that division.

Tyreek Hill will break the single-season receiving yards record

Tyreek Hill... is on pace for 2077 yards, which would be a record, obviously the extra game. No one's ever had 2000 receiving yards in the NFL in a season.

Brandon Staley will be fired during the season

I think he's probably candidate number one for in season firing... It feels like it's happening soon.

The Bills will make the Super Bowl and lose to the Cowboys

My overly direct take is that I think the Bills are gonna make the Super Bowl... And then lose to the Cowboys... I think they're gonna rally and and make a deep run.

The Chiefs -2.5 against the Eagles is stealing money

My overly direct take Max is the Chief's minus two and a half tonight stealing money. Patrick Mahomes at home. Andy Reid off of buy can't. All they gotta do is win the game pretty much.

Joe Flacco will lead the Browns to an AFC North title

My overly direct take guys, is that Joe Flacco will lead the Cleveland Browns to an AFC North Division Championship.

Jayden Daniels should and will win the Heisman

Jayden Daniels. Eight touchdowns... against Georgia State... He is now the favorite to win the Heisman... I don't think that you can honestly make a case that it should be anybody except for Jayden Daniels.

Jim Harbaugh will leave Michigan for the NFL after this season

I think that him accepting his punishment is a sign. He might be on the outs, which I'm excited for. Except he might go to the Chargers, which I'm not excited for.

The Bengals' season is effectively over following Joe Burrow's wrist injury.

Joe Burrow looks to be out for a very long time. I, it is a UCL injury. Couldn't grip the football. Just the biggest bummer. And now it looks like we will not get the Bengals or Joe Burrow, more importantly Joe Burrow in the playoffs... the Bengals season is over.

Israel Abanikanda is set to take over the Jets' backfield.

Izzy season? Izzy, the running back. They released Michael Carter and they're giving Izzy a shot. The bills can't stop the run... I'm gonna have to bet on him to score fucking a Memes.

The Rams will exceed their win total and make the playoffs.

He [Whitworth] already said the Rams are making the playoffs this year. He still stands by it. I think they're gonna win more than seven and a half games this year.

The Washington Commanders will make a playoff run in the NFC.

I think Washington's gonna make a run. I like Washington making a run... I think Sam Howell's the guy is only getting better. I truly believe that.

The Buffalo Bills stink and will not make the playoffs this year

The Buffalo Bills stink. They might be dead... I don't think they're gonna be in the playoffs. They have a really tough schedule. They're five and five now and it feels like everything, whatever it was, it was... something is very broken.

Jayden Daniels should win the Heisman Trophy

Jayden Daniels should be the Heisman... He's the best player in college football this year. And that's what the award should be. It shouldn't be a team award.

There is a 50/50 chance JMU gets to play in a bowl game

It's about 50 50. So they are ineligible to play in the postseason. However, if there are not enough bowl eligible teams in college football this season, then they will allow teams that are not eligible due to technicalities to play. Got it. So that's, that's a real thing.

Eagles vs. Chiefs on Monday Night Football will be the highest rated game of the season

I'm gonna say Eagles Chiefs Monday Night Football is going to be the highest rated game of the season moving forward. Ooh. Also there's a potential of Taylor appearing. In Prime time standalone. It has to be Super Bowl rematch.

David Tepper might fire Frank Reich this week

I think that there's a chance that David Tepper fires Frank Reich this week. David Tepper did not look happy in the booth... He's a micromanager. He has a pair of brass testicles on his desk that is a man that will fire somebody... I would be surprised if Frank Reich lasted the entire season.

Will Levis will be an elite NFL quarterback

I've seen enough. Will Levis will be an elite quarterback.

The Dallas Cowboys will demolish the New York Giants

I actually think like the Cowboys minus 17 is too low because I just don't know the Cowboys defense. This is what the Cowboys do. They kick the shit outta teams like this. They're going to demolish the Giants.

Downfield laterals are the next major offensive innovation in the NFL

I'm a firm believer in a downfield lateral because it's just, you need to practice it... It is a hundred percent on board... The downfield lateral is probably the next way that we're gonna see more of these explosive plays.

The Baltimore Ravens will win the Super Bowl

Baltimore... Complete team. Todd Monkin offense... Lamar's playing at a different speed... the fact that their defense is playing [well].

Both Georgia and Alabama will make the College Football Playoff this year

I think we're gonna end up with Georgia and Alabama in the Final Four. I could be wrong.

The Heisman will come down to Bo Nix vs. Michael Penix Jr. in the Pac-12 championship game

I think the Heisman is gonna just come down to if Oregon and Washington play in the Pac-12 championship game, Bo Nix or Michael Penix who plays better and it would be so awesome if Bo Nix won the Heisman.

Craig Counsell to the Cubs is a sign the team is ready to spend and compete for World Series titles again

I also think this is the sign that the Cubs are ready to start spending and start competing for World Series again. Because you're not Craig Counsell... you don't go to the Cubs, your rival... unless you have a deal in place from Jed and Tom Ricketts being like, 'Hey, we're going for this.'

The Baltimore Ravens are the best team in the NFL

I would just like to admit right now the Baltimore Ravens, I think they are the best team in the NFL. I think the ra it to my ears. I have them, they're my Super Bowl pick. I I think the Ravens are the most complete team.

The Commanders will finish 9-8 and make the playoffs

I'm now talking myself back in the playoffs. Ooh. Because someone's gotta get that seventh spot... I think nine [wins]. I'm going to be honest and say Loss at Ramps. Win. At Jets Win. Okay. There it is. Yep. Niners loss. Cowboys Win. Wait, that, that's still eight... run it back and count again... That's nine. That's fine. and we're in the playoffs as the 17th.

I'm going to bet on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl after they lose a few games

I'm going to bet on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl after this stretch. 'cause they're gonna lose a couple of these games and that's fine. Max, that's fine.

The Buffalo Bills might not make the playoffs

The Bills have a tough schedule. The Bills might not make the playoffs... they play the Jets who they always struggle with at home. Then they have to play at Eagles. At Chiefs versus Cowboys at Chargers... That's a pretty tough four games.
