Takes

Florida is being slept on in the SEC and Dan Mullen can overperform with less talent

I think Florida in the SEC is being like pretty slept on. I know from a talent level, they're not at the Georgia, Alabama, or even the Texas A&M level, but you look at Dan Mullen and what he's always been able to do with teams even with less talent.

Bijan Robinson is a better player than Najee Harris

I think Bijan Robinson is a perfect fit for what we saw Najee Harris do in that Alabama offense last year. I think Bijan is a better player than Najee Harris.

My 2021 College Football Playoff field is Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, and Oregon

I am doing the least chalky chalk I can, as far as my official predictions. I've got my playoff being Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and Oregon.

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. The Power Five.

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?

James Franklin would be magnificent as the head coach at USC

I think James Franklin would be magnificent at USC because the one thing that USC, that you really need to take advantage of if your goal is to win national titles... you need a guy who's really good to try to bring that talent in like Pete Carroll was doing... I think James Franklin is one of the guys who's capable of doing it to be blunt.

Lock of the Week: Illinois -4.5 vs UTSA

My locker of the week this week is actually Illinois minus four and a half at home against UTSA. That is a straight up disrespectful line... to get that at under a touchdown, it's like, I don't think Illinois is some juggernaut now because it beat Nebraska, but they are definitely a touchdown better than UTSA.

Justin Fields will be the Bears starter by Week 3

And Justin Fields prediction go quick? Week three. [Week three start].

Muhammad Ali is the most famous and most loved person on the planet

Muhammad Ali is the most famous and the most loved person on the planet. I'd want to know, I'd want to know how that happened.

I am going to partially ditch wearing my sunglasses on camera

I told him something that I've been thinking about for a while here, which is the sunglasses at, at some point can be a big hindrance to me... So I'm trying to think of ways to partially lose the glasses. And I'm also thinking that people are going to be pissed when they see my eyes, at least for a little bit. Not because they're like free guys. I think I'm a pretty normal looking guy.

Hard Knocks sucks this season

We have watch hard knocks and it sucks. And I don't know what we're doing, but we're here for the people, right? That is our dedication to you.

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.

Bill Belichick would sign a 'super spreader' if he thought they could help the Patriots win games

Bill Belichick would sign someone who was like a super spreader of vaccine if he was really good at quarterback. Cause all he cares about is winning football games. And that's the number one thing.

Cam Newton's 2010 season at Auburn is the greatest performance by a college quarterback I've ever seen

Cam Newton again, he's a great quarterback in the [past]... I'd say it probably the best college football quarterback I've ever seen play his, his last season at Auburn when he was playing with an entire offense of guys who didn't play in the NFL and took them to the national championship is like Mount Rushmore of seasons in college football.

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.

Dan Campbell is bridging the gap between meatheads and analytics by going without a kicker

What I love about this, I absolutely love this about what Dan Campbell is doing. He's like accidentally proving, you know what horseshoe theory is and politics that the far left and the far right. Are exactly the same. He's doing that with meat heads and analytics people like he's going to go for two every time without a kicker.

The Bears will not be good this season regardless of who starts at quarterback

I don't actually care that Andy Dalton is starting the season in the fact that I think the bears probably aren't going to be good anyway. So it's not going to be the deciding factor between making the playoffs or not.

Cam Newton will not sign with another NFL team immediately after being cut by the Patriots

I don't think that he's going to sign with any team like immediately. I don't think that's going to happen.

The Wisconsin Badgers will be very good this season

Badger's going to be good this year and that that's me. Just probably reading, ready for a fucking, you know, sword in my heart on Saturday afternoon. But I actually do think they're going to be very good.

Booing is an underrated and productive part of sports culture

I love a good boo. I don't think that we should be legislating booze in this society. BU is a very productive thing to do. It's a fun thing to do. And at the end of the day, it's just somebody making a noise at you... I love a good boo-boos are underrated.

Mets fans are really mad at Francisco Lindor, not Javier Báez

Javi Baez is actually not the one that I don't. I don't think Mets fans are actually mad at Harvey because Harvey is a rental. This is all Francisco Lindor. He signed a 10 year, 300 plus million dollar contract. He's ABI by his best friend. He's been doing the thumbs down. That's the guy that I think Mets fans are truly mad at.

The PGA Tour's statement about banning 'Brooksy' chants actually hurt Bryson DeChambeau more than it helped

The PGA just fucked [Bryson] even more though by issuing this statement... it's insane. Bryson very clearly went to the PGA and was like, 'Hey, can you guys do something to put a stop to this?'

Coach Prime is objectively better than Hard Knocks

Coach prime. It's like a Barstool version of hard knocks. Deion Sanders, Jackson state. It's out now. It's better than hard knocks objectively. No bias.

Jake Paul likely wrote a 'no drug testing' clause into the Tyron Woodley fight contract

It came out that there was no drug testing for that fight. Jake Paul probably wrote it up.

Jake Paul showed physical signs of PED use during the Tyron Woodley fight

I didn't want to say anything, but in Caleb's interview you can see acne right around is like, just really bad. But what about his nipples? Very, I mean, everyone saw that. Anyone can see their ConEd. Super [ConEd].

Tommy Fury is a terrible boxer despite being incredibly attractive

Tommy fury is the most attractive man in the world and a terrible boxer. ... I don't think [he'd fuck Jake Paul up]. He fought someone who was like eight inches smaller than him and he wasn't able to knock [him out].

Jake Paul will never fight a real boxer who is actually his size

The thing is he can fight Tommy fury next. Knock it out. No, he will not [fight] someone his size... [and he's] a really good boxer.

LeBron James is no longer the most influential player in Cleveland Cavaliers history because of Tacko Fall

LeBron is no longer the most influential player in Cleveland Cavaliers history because they signed taco fall today. Oh, you might steal the spotlight to be a witness. That's tacos, billboard coming to town, baby.

I am officially never drafting a Cleveland Brown again

I actually, I broke up with the Browns I'm will no longer be drafting Browns. I understand that [they have a talented roster]. And listen, you're going to find out with a lot of my tics. That's where I go wrong is that I quit them right before they become... it's like breaking up with someone just before they [get rich].

I am never drafting a New York Jets player again (with very few exceptions)

I will never be drafting jets again. Although I may draft Corey Davis and I may draft that guy [Michael] Carter, just because there's no jets except for two jets, no jets, but they're going to be on bench.

I will always draft the Ravens defense in fantasy regardless of the round

I have to have the Baltimore. I have to have the Ravens defense teams, like no matter where they are... you gotta have the Ravens.

Never draft a Vikings running back in fantasy football

I can't look at a Viking's running game and I know that's like crazy because they have superstars on that team. ... I didn't know what switching your children was until I heard a running back from that team talk about it... it really shook me and I can't look at it.

Never draft a Bears kicker

I will say this never draft the bears, kicker ever. As long as you live ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, ever. It's the moose. It's what will ruin a team. It will bring down, it will bring down family. It will bring down dynasties.

The Buccaneers will repeat as Super Bowl champions

I'm probably going to pick them to win it again. I can't think of a reason not to. You definitely have to pick them to get there out of an NFC that isn't nearly as top as heavy as the AFC. The question is, can they win against the best team that the AFC has to offer?

Darnell Mooney is a sleeper for the 2021 season

Dan Darnell Moni with the Chicago bears, they got, obviously knows all about him fast. If Justin Fields take the rain sooner, rather than later, I think that offense is good enough to maybe have two relevant wide receivers.

You should kiss your boss to avoid work talk on the golf course

Just try to kiss him in the middle of your round and be like, I always get horny when I play golf. And then he'll never invite you something about the holes. Either and if, and if they don't give it to you lean in for a kiss and then if they kiss, you just say sexual harassment or 50% raise, ask for the kiss.

Nebraska football is a complete and utter dumpster fire under Scott Frost

Nebraska is a complete and utter dumpster fire. I don't know what you do. They, I don't know if you saw the graphics... but Scott Frost is now nine and 18 in big 10 football games, zero bowl games. He has the second worst record of any head coach in Nebraska history. And it's a complete failure.

Nebraska needs to run the dirtiest, most unethical strength and conditioning program to win games

Seriously, if you're the next Nebraska coach, just buy all the steroids, just get all the steroids. If you get caught, I guarantee you that Cornhusker fans will not give a shit. If you get caught running the dirtiest strength and conditioning program in the history of college sports... it would be less embarrassing if you're Nebraska to get caught cheating than it is running whatever you have been running for the last 10 years.

Brett Bielema will be a good coach at Illinois

I credit to Brett Bielema because I actually think he's going to be a good coach at Illinois. And he plays Bret Bielema ball... that drive to start the second half where he was like, I'm just gonna run the ball down your throat for 75 yards was vintage Bielema.

Chip Kelly only brought back the visor because he finally has a team that can compete

I'm a firm believer in weirdos, like Chip Kelly. Like he purposely didn't put on the visor until he knew he had a team that could compete. And now he's like, alright, I got my guys I'm ready to roll visor.

Manchester United fans should feel dirty about Cristiano Ronaldo returning just to chase penalties

Cristiano Ronaldo is back at Manchester United... he basically last, last second of the transfer window [decided] 'where can I go get the most amount of penalties? I'm going to go back to Man U.' I, I don't, you know, Man U fans, you should feel dirty. You should feel bad about it yourself.

Arsenal is a trash franchise and I'm officially 'Arteta Out'

Man U's a trash franchise, although I'd still rather cheer for them than Arsenal at this point... they stink. I'm Arteta out now. I think they should bring back Wenger.

Mac Jones is the most NFL-ready rookie quarterback in his class

One thing that I've heard and I love this line of dialogue. People saying, you know what, Mac Jones, he's not going to be the best rookie quarterback, but he's the most NFL-ready rookie quarterback right now.

The Eagles will start the season well, but will fall off once the league figures out Jalen Hurts

Philly's gonna play decent to start the season... and everyone's gonna say, 'wow, look at Jalen Hurts.' And then they're going to, because they don't have the super talented roster, then they're going to fall off and everyone's going to say, 'well, the league figured out Jalen Hurts.'

Tua Tagovailoa has to make the playoffs this year to show he's a successful quarterback

I think the Dolphins have like a playoff caliber roster... I think too, it has to show something this year. Oh, I think they need to make the playoffs. I do.

The NBA should return to best-of-five series for the first round of the playoffs

I think MBA absolutely should go back to the best of five... Dikembe Mutombo shocked the world... those are the moments that you get.

Trent Dilfer was coaching hard, not committing physical assault in his viral high school video

I hate the argument you never put your hands on a player it's like grabbing a guy by shoulder, grabbing him by the elbow. Come on. Are we really going to get upset about that. Obviously, if it's like punching choking... this, there was no malicious intent in this.

Coaches like Brian Harsin worrying about elevators is exactly why Nick Saban continues to dominate college football

Every time we hear something like this [Brian Harsin banning elevators], it makes you realize why Nick Saban just keeps kicking everyone's teeth in. Cause these guys are worrying about elevators and stairs and Nick Saban is just rolling out five star recruits... and just demolishing people.

Sam Ehlinger would have beaten out Trevor Lawrence for the starting job if not for his injury

Unfortunately, Sam Ehlinger is out with a tweaked ACL... The Sam Ehlinger beating out Trevor Lawrence prediction has not come yet for now.

College football has the best regular season but the worst postseason in sports

We have to fix it. It's gotta get better. The best regular season, the worst post season right now in sports. So that has to be fixed. But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy when teams get together.
