The Broncos and Seahawks combined will have fewer than three playoff appearances in the next five years

How many playoff appearances will the Broncos and the Seahawks have combined in the next five years? I guess see extra, a little different timeline now... Okay [three times] yeah, because it's got a good defense.

As of 2024, Seattle has 1 appearance (2022) and Denver has 0. They need 2 more combined in the next few years to hit the mark.

The Miami Heat are the best and most complete team in the Eastern Conference

I think the Miami Heat to me are the best team in the East... To me the most complete team to me, and again, this is health dependent... I think the Heat is the team to me, health aside where I'm like that team has the least amount of question marks.

The Heat earned the 1-seed but lost to the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Redick was close but ultimately incorrect as they didn't win the East.

The Celtics are legitimate contenders to win the Eastern Conference

Celtics are back. They had some trouble early in the year... they have fully figured it out. Their defense is unbelievable. I think right now they're second in the league defensively. Beginning of the year, I didn't think that the Celtics had a shot to win the East. Now I do.

The Celtics won the Eastern Conference in 2022 and reached the NBA Finals.

The Dallas Mavericks are officially contenders to win a championship this year

Are we officially contenders? For sure. I mean, you know, it takes time to adjust to a new coach. We're 18 and six over the last 24 games. Our defense is top three and our offense is top 10. If you're a top 10 offense and a top five defense, you have a chance to compete for a title.

The Mavericks reached the Western Conference Finals in 2022, placing them in the final four teams and validating their status as title contenders.

LeBron forcing his way onto Bronny's team will stunt Bronny's growth

Bronny Jr. is probably going to not even want that dude... if you see any of the draft projections or watch him play, it's like, he's good. He's not lottery pick good. But someone's going to spend a first round pick on him cause they can then get LeBron... there's a chance it could really suck for Bronny.

Bronny was drafted 55th overall in 2024 and faced immense scrutiny as the son of LeBron, with early performance struggling in Summer League and G-League assignments.

I do find it kind of interesting how everybody's like the bangles are gonna be back here for sure... just say that out loud to yourself... given like, whew, who's in the AFC right now. I, if you, if we said bet, you have to bet next decade. The Bengals go to X amount of Superbowls... over one and a half, you'd take the under all that all day. And that's, it's not disrespectful to the bangles... because the chiefs are that good. The bills are looking that good, sir. Herbert, it looks great. Lamar Jackson got forgotten about.

Matthew Stafford will eventually be a Hall of Famer based on his career passing stats

I'm not saying that. I think that Matt Safford is like an incredible hall of fame quarterback. I've my, my statement has simply been that he will, his career will be there by the end... mass, Sanford's going to end up like top six all time and passing. So, and he's also going to, no, one's saying that he's right now, if he retired, he would be a hall of Famer... My argument was always under the assumption that he plays until he's, I don't know, like 38, 39.

Matthew Stafford is now an automatic Hall of Famer

Matthew Stafford is going to be a hall of Famer. It's almost automatic now. Cause he has it... all the stats are there and then he's got the ring. That's it. If you put him now, if he plays three, four more years, pick a quarterback with one Superbowl, he's going to have a better resume overall.

Stafford has high volume stats and a ring, though his lack of All-Pros/MVPs still makes him a debate topic; he is not yet eligible.

The NFL will force Stephen Ross to sell the Miami Dolphins

I think that they're going to force him [Stephen Ross] to sell the team. I think this is the only way that an owner could be forced to sell. Because owners have so many skeletons in their closet that they're never going to vote another guy out... But when you start involving like changing the outcomes of games and bribing coaches, things like that. I feel like this is, this is a great excuse for owners to try to sell the team or try to vote them out.

As of early 2025, Stephen Ross still owns the Miami Dolphins. He was suspended and fined following an investigation into tampering, but not forced to sell for the tanking allegations.
