Takes

Patrick Mahomes is the best player ever, but Tom Brady is still the Greatest of All Time.

I already think [Mahomes] is the best player ever, but he's not the greatest quarterback of all time. I think accomplishments have to weigh a ton, and so Brady gets to be called the GOAT. I think that if they pull off the three-peat, you can, and someone wants to say he's now the greatest of all time, it's at least an allowed opinion.

Jalen Hurts' performance in Super Bowl 57 was the best individual performance ever for a player who also made the play that lost his team the game.

The best game Jalen Hurts ever played is that Super Bowl game. And I would argue it is the single best game any player has ever played that also included them making the play that lost their team of the game. I think of all the games where one guy made a totally unforced catastrophic error that cost his team a championship, he played the best in that game.

Sean McDermott should not be fired

Sean McDermott still has his job. I don't think he should be fired now. The dust has been settled... He's a very, very good coach. But you have to also look at what he's done in the playoffs and how much those losses just stay with a man.

Getting your ass kicked in the playoffs is better than losing a close game

I think it captures the moment perfectly. It's... the two guys on the bus meme. One is really pissed off. Doom and gloom. The other guy's super happy. The guy that's pissed off is losing a close game. The guy that's super happy is getting your ass kicked. So getting your ass kicked is better in those situations, I think than being like, oh, you know, we were one play away.

The Chiefs' defense is overrated while their offense is underrated

The Chiefs' defense is a little overrated. I'm gonna say it right now. I'm gonna dig into some numbers for you, but I'm gonna say it... Their rush defense has not been incredible in the back half. Now the problem is for you and the Chiefs is their offense has gotten a lot better. I think their defense is above average. And I think people think that their offense is average. And I think that's also above average.

Anyone who says they are boycotting the Super Bowl is a liar

I'll say this loud and clear. I'm, I'm always gonna watch the Super Bowl. You, it's the last football game of the year. And anyone who says they're not gonna watch the Super Bowl, you're a fucking liar. That's, you're just a liar. You're gonna watch the Super Bowl. You might not talk about the Super Bowl. You might complain about the Super Bowl. You're gonna fucking sit down on Super Bowl Sunday.

Jimmy Butler is an absolute locker room cancer

I mean he's old and he's proven himself time and time again to just be an absolute locker room cancer can't even win.

The Warriors should have just resigned Klay Thompson and stayed old together

I don't even think like, this is why this revisionist history just fucking should have just resigned Klay and just gotten like, you have to pick a lane. Like just maybe just get old together. And just be like, all right. It was fun, but everyone got to stay together... if you know you're not gonna win again, just go nostalgia.

Ashton Jeanty should have won the Heisman

The person who should have won the Heisman, Ashton Jeanty... Travis Hunter had a pretty good season... [but] Ashton Jeanty shoulda won the Heisman.

Kyle Pitts is never going to happen

Kyle Pitts is never gonna happen fast. [PFT]: I like that. That's the best point that you've made.

Getting old is primarily about 'giving less of a fuck'

I think the number one thing is giving less of a fuck. That's the number one thing with age that is so much better. Where it's like, I don't start dressing better, but it's like, I don't care. I got kids. I got a good life. I don't give a fuck.

I refuse to count Jayden Daniels' last interception against the Eagles as a real stat.

Jayden played awesome. I thought he played great. We're not counting that last interception. If he throws a pick on this last drive, it doesn't count. I agree with that. It counts for Quinyon Mitchell... but that doesn't go against Jayden's stats in my book.

Vic Fangio is an elite defensive coordinator whose game plan perfectly neutralized Jaden Daniels and the Commanders' offense.

Vic Fangio is an incredible defensive coordinator. It was very clear from the jump that their entire game plan was, let's just take away [Jaden Daniels'] first read and make him go through his progressions... Vic Fangio is just, I mean he's a great defensive coordinator and [he was] dialing up blitzes when he had to.

Nick Sirianni has proven he is one of the best coaches in the NFL.

Nick Sirianni as a head coach, this is his fourth season. He's the first head coach to win the NFC two out of his first four years in the last 40 years. He's 48 and 20 all time, which is the highest winning percentage of any active head coach... Sirianni has proven that he's one of the best coaches in the NFL.

Josh Allen is a true postseason 'winner' who raises his level of play, while Lamar Jackson has consistently underperformed in the playoffs.

Josh Allen is a winner. He has overperformed in the playoffs. Lamar Jackson has underperformed. [Lamar] has underperformed... Josh Allen is a winner.

Former owner Dan Snyder is likely watching the Commanders' success from England and is absolutely miserable about it.

Dan Snyder not only like, is aware of the commanders... he's living in England and he's fucking pissed off and so angry about all of it. I'm glad you're pissed. I hope you watch every second. I hope that your life is just tormented from this point forward.

The fourth-down spot for Josh Allen in the AFC Championship was a first down and total bullshit.

The spot. I did not agree with the spot. That did suck though because if the Bills got that first down, it felt like they were gonna go down and score and be up nine. I thought the spot sucked. Fourth and one... they do Josh Allen sneak and the far line judge, I believe ruled it pretty much close to a first down. The closer line judge had a completely different interpretation... I thought it was a first down. I thought it was bullshit.

The Buffalo Bills may have reached their absolute ceiling with Sean McDermott and might need a new coach to finally win a Super Bowl.

Is there a chance that they've [the Bills] hit the wall and to get through the wall they need something different? I don't think you fire him, but I just, it it did feel like this game was another winnable Bills game that coaching and defense... like it hurt them.

If you truly believe the NFL is rigged, you should just bet all your money on the Chiefs.

If it's rigged. If you truly believe it's rigged, then why don't you just make a fuck load of money betting on the Chiefs? That's me personally. That's what I would do.

Taylor Swift would never allow Travis Kelce to propose to her on the field after a Super Bowl.

I was just thinking he wouldn't actually, after I said it, I realized Taylor would never allow it to happen. But I was thinking of like confetti. No, I just that that thought of all that scene disgusted me, but I don't think, I think they would do it in a little more classy way.

NFL teams should never allow a first-time head coach to select their own General Manager.

It's also unprecedented for first time head coach to be able to pick their gm. I don't really blame Liam Cohen at all on this... but it's unprecedented for a first-time head coach to be able to pick their gm.

Success in the NFL requires prioritizing your own interests because the league is a cutthroat business where 'nice guys' don't last.

I just think it's such a cutthroat business that if you don't look out for yourself, you're kind of like, you can't be a nice guy in the NFL. You know, that's really what it comes out. You can't be a nice guy in the NFL.

Jerry Jones no longer wants an Alpha coach; he wants someone who will just do what he says.

Jerry Jones, the Jerry Jones from the nineties... that guy doesn't exist anymore. He just wants a coach that will just follow whatever he says and guess who's gonna follow whatever he says. The career assistant who is down the hall. He'll never. Thank you for the opportunity, sir. Ever since Bill Parcells, he's not gonna hire someone who is gonna have that Alpha Energy and be like, this is my show.

Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll are destined to be career-long rivals who will inevitably follow each other to the same divisions.

Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll are destined to just go against each other. I love that. They, no matter what, they will always follow each other. This time it's Pete Carroll following Jim Harbaugh. Obviously we had Stanford and USC... then Pete Carroll to the Seahawks, Jim Harbaugh to the Niners, and now Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers and Pete Carroll to the Raiders. They just, they have to be together.

Madison Keys' victory over Aryna Sabalenka proves that America is once again a dominant force in professional tennis.

Ariana Sabalenka, notorious best women's tennis player. Got number one seed... Got smoked by Madison Keys, American 19th seed in the tournament. Major upset. USA Aussie Open Champion America's back.

Duke is a formidable team, but their dominance is skewed by the fact that the ACC is currently a weak conference.

Duke is a problem, but the ACC fucking sucks. So I'm just gonna tell myself that they're good only because they're killing everyone in the ACC.

The Eagles have a better roster than the Commanders at almost every position except for quarterback

The Eagles have better players at almost every position except for the most important position. And that's quarterback. And I keep coming back to like... I think the Eagle's defense is better than what Jayden Daniels has played in the last two playoff games.

The Bills must let Josh Allen be 'Superman' and attack early to beat the Chiefs

I hope the Bills let Josh Allen just fucking chuck it. And I hope they let him just be Superman... to win this game, you gotta just, you gotta like step on them early and never let them back in it. Because if you let this be at one possession game in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs are gonna win.

Liam Coen leaving the Bucs for the Jaguars head coaching job shows how much he hated Trent Baalke

If, if, if they get Liam Cohen, like how much did he hate Trent Baalke? A lot. Really smart by Liam Cohen to be like, I'm not gonna do this job if you keep this guy here. Fire that guy. Yeah. And we'll talk.

Jaden Daniels is a Jedi force multiplier who makes everyone better

We got a Jedi, a quarterback Jedi 5. The, the, the ultimate force multiplier. It's, it's changed everything... He's shown you, I am the ultimate force multiplier. I'm gonna make everybody around me better no matter what.

The under-talked-about key to the Bills' success is their offensive line

The Bills offensive line I think has played fantastic all year. Yeah, I think that's really the under talked about part of, you know, we see all the chatter now with Buffalo. People say we don't have weapons... well your offensive line is probably, aside from Josh Allen, your best offensive weapon.

Steve Spagnuolo belongs in the Hall of Fame as a defensive coordinator

If you get three in a row and this defense plays well again, I think Spag should probably be considered for the Hall of Fame at that point. I agree... I don't know how you can have a list without him pretty high on the defensive side.

Vetoing the marathon was a mistake; the nine-darter challenge is going to be significantly harder

I should have vetoed the nine Darter. Yeah. And I didn't. And now I am going to deal with the consequences of my own action... I am concerned that at a certain point my arm is gonna get like to a point where I can't throw... The marathon would've been the much easier choice.

Ohio State was the best team in the inaugural 12-team playoff

Ohio State has done it. $20 million roster. Incredible team... they kicked the shit out of everyone in the playoffs. They were the best team in this playoffs.

The National Championship game should be played no later than January 10th

January 10th should be the latest they play the national championship. You can't have it. You can't have four NFL teams left and still not have a national title champion for college football. It just feels weird. It feels off. It's stupid.

Aaron Glenn is the number one coaching candidate on the market

If we sign Aaron Glenn, we got the number one guy on the market... He was the number one coaching candidate on the market.

Jayden Daniels is the best quarterback in the NFC Championship game

What matters is that we have the best quarterback in this game who's capable of doing things that other quarterbacks aren't... He's the hottest quarterback in the league right now.

The point spread does not matter in the Commanders-Eagles NFC title game

I think you can throw out spreads don't matter in this game. It doesn't, the spread does not matter at all unless the Eagles win by a field goal.

Sports should normalize a 24-hour window for sore losers to act out

I think we need to normalize more like bad losers. Like let 'em, let 'em be sore losers for a minute... I think we should have like a 24-hour hour shock clock for big games fans and, and players alike that anything they, they should be able to say whatever they want and it shouldn't count long term.

Novak Djokovic is the undisputed GOAT of tennis

Carlos Alcaraz... he got fucking worked by Kovich the goat. Djokovic is 37 years old and I thought, big bad Carlos Alcaraz, no one can beat this guy. Not so fast.

Travis Kelce remains elite because his mental game compensates for declining athleticism

Even as you've seen maybe his athleticism come back a few notches the last few years, he's still just as effective because of how smart he is. Zone coverage, he's gonna be able to find those holes. Patrick's gonna be able to look around the field and then find him.

Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa, and Brock Purdy are system-dependent quarterbacks

There's other guys that you could sprinkle around and put 'em in the right systems. And I think Tua is like that. I think Brock [Purdy] is like that. I think Jalen [Hurts] is probably like that, where if you get 'em in the right spot, then they can be as good as anybody. But you can't necessarily pick them up and drop them in any situation and have them be elite.

The Ravens lost to the Bills because they failed to run Derrick Henry on the goal line

Why the fuck did we throw the ball? And when we were first in goal, where the fuck did we run it four times? Why the fuck did we bring Derrick Henry if we're goal line and they're not gonna throw the fucking ball?

Boxing would become the most popular sport if all sports memories were erased

Boxing would be pretty, you'd be like, holy shit, these guys are just beating the fuck out of each other. Yeah. Boxing would be pretty sick.

The Texans got absolutely screwed by penalties against the Chiefs

The first thing can be that the Texans got absolutely screwed by penalties. And the second thing that can also be true is the Chiefs deserve to win this game because they outplayed him... But if you're a Texans fan, you have every right to bitch about that for the next week straight.

Jaden Daniels is the best quarterback in the NFC

I think Jayden is, God. Jayden is, he's the best. I think he's the best quarterback in the NFC. I think he's probably top five in the NFL.

Jaden Daniels would have failed if the Bears had drafted him

I also think that if Jaden Daniels was drafted by the Bears, he wouldn't have been good. That's neither here nor there. This is more about Jaden Daniels... circumstance and everything around it matters.

The hierarchy of AFC QBs is Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, then Burrow

I like that we've got a nice clean hierarchy for now though of AFC quarterbacks. Goes Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and then Joe Burrow. If [Burrow] was in the playoffs, he'd just probably be beating everybody.

The Bills and New Orleans are essentially sister cities

Buffalo and New Orleans that is the same city and it doesn't make sense, but it does. Like Buffalo is gonna win a Super Bowl. It shouldn't be in New Orleans... They're both drunk. Yeah, that's what he was going for. One has like huge tits that they show every couple times a year. The other likes beef on weck and wings. They're sisters though.

Losing to PFT and the Commanders in the playoffs is worse than losing to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl

Losing to Hank is worse than losing to PFT... but this is worse [than the Super Bowl]. The Super Bowl was, was the opening of a window and you lose to Mahomes and as much as it sucks it's Patrick Mahomes. [PFT] would have to look at you every single day pretty much for the rest of his life.
