Takes

Shane Steichen is the 2023 NFL Coach of the Year

Shane Steichen should be Coach of the Year. He's got my vote. He's had my vote for a while. Colts were over under six and a half wins. They're now gonna play for a win and get in... Entire resume should happen with the Eagles in conjunction. How bad the Eagles have [collapsed].

The Chicago Bears are building a winner identical to the 2022 Detroit Lions

The Bears are building something. I don't care what people say. I know people are gonna trash me. The Bears are building something. They're basically identical to what the Lions did last year and the fact that they almost made the Playoffs... Justin Fields. We're keeping Justin Fields. We're taking all the picks.

The Chicago Bears will be a good football team in 2024

The Bears are going to be good in 2024. I'm saying it right now. This team is playing fucking good football. Justin Fields looks good... I don't care that this might be a terrible soundbite for me next year, but I'm saying it right now and I believe it.

Nick Sirianni should be fired if the Eagles lose in the first round of the playoffs

If they lose in the first round... gone. Gone. I don't know what he does. Shane Steichen going on and doing what he's doing and then the offense looking what it is without him is insane. He has to be gone. He's so bad.

The Kansas City Chiefs are dangerous in the playoffs because everyone finally respects them less

I think they might be dangerous. Because I think that this is the one time where the Chiefs actually have the 'nobody believes in us' card that they can play... they will go through a dumpster to find disrespect. Now the entire world is talking shit about them... I think they're very scary in the Playoffs.

Kirk Cousins will return to the Minnesota Vikings next season

Is Kirk Cousins gonna come back? I think he's, I I would guess that he's gonna come back to the Vikings... He'd probably be okay with taking a pay cut just to avoid the nuisance of having to move your family to a new city... Kirk Cousins back to the Vikings. We're announcing that right now.

Joe Flacco is officially elite

Joe Flacco is elite. He is fucking elite. And the Cleveland Browns clincher playoff spot. Yes. And watching this game, the, the thought occurred to me, what if we had a Browns line, super Bowl?

If Joe Flacco wins the Super Bowl with the Browns, he must be a Hall of Famer

What if Joe Flacco wins? If Joe Flacco wins the super Bowl with the Browns, he has to be a Hall of Famer, right? Has to a hundred percent.

Connor Stallions has been working for the Baltimore Ravens since resigning from Michigan

Do you think that there's any chance at all that Connor Stallions has been working for the Ravens since he resigned from Michigan? I think it's not a 0% chance... I'm just gonna float it out there with absolutely no backing behind it. Besides the fact that McDonald's used to coach at Michigan. And Connor Stallions is a hardball guy for life.

Baker Mayfield should win NFL Comeback Player of the Year

He [Baker Mayfield] should win Comeback Player of the Year. Joe Flacco. I no disrespect to DeMar Hamlin, but why is he winning? He should not win Comeback Player of the Year.

DeMar Hamlin should not win NFL Comeback Player of the Year

I'll be the brave one and say, this guy shouldn't win the award... It is just a fact. He shouldn't win the award.

Antonio Pierce has earned the full-time head coaching job for the Raiders

I do think that Antonio Pierce has, has coached his way into being the full-time head coach. Agree. If they really wanna win this game, Mark Davis should announce before the game starts. Like you're giving away a scholarship like this, this Walk-on now has earned his position.

There isn't a single team in the NFL right now that can be fully trusted

I don't think there's a team you can trust right now in the NFL. You go down the list... I don't think there's one team that you can, you could say like, put my life on the line. They win this game.

Russell Wilson played himself out of a Hall of Fame career

We'll always have the danger witch. Yeah, he, he definitely played himself out of a hall of Fame career. Right. I don't know that, that's gonna be a tough one... Russell, Wilson is nowhere near top 10 now.

Oregon is going to destroy Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl

17 points is not win nearly enough points. They're so strong and he's so strong... They're way bigger than Liberty. So I'm, this might just be because I saw a bunch of football players up close and I'm like, oh, these guys are way bigger than they look on tv.

Having a clear vision is the most important tool for success in life

I put this number one in my book, be useful because I think that vision is the most important thing. If you don't have a very clear vision of what you want to accomplish in life, and if you don't have a very clear vision where you want to go, you don't have anything, you're just kind of like drifting around.

Admitting your mistakes is the only way to learn and improve

You learn, you know, sometimes even more from the failures than we do from the successes. And so we have to be very honest, when you fail, you have to be very, very honest... You've gotta go and just look in the mirror and say, you fucked up and here's what you did wrong. And then analyze it, and they take the blame for it.

The world is heading toward the AI future depicted in the Terminator movies

As we went on with time, decade after decade, all of a sudden I realized, oh my God, we are actually going in that direction. And what Jim Cameron wrote about is going to happen, you know, that the machines are now so sophisticated, so far ahead of human way of thinking that they are so far ahead.

The rivalry with Sylvester Stallone made both of them more successful and drove them to improve

Stallone by being so good made me better. So he gets, it's kind of like a competition. If you go to the Olympics and you're the only one that is running the a hundred meter sprint, you know, you're not gonna get the performance out of it as if, if a bunch of guys are chasing you. And so it's always kind of the competition that creates performance.

I will be in the best shape of my life when I turn 40

I have the double whammy of our birthday month is coming up and it's our last birthday in our thirties. And I am trying to tell myself that when I turn 40, I have to turn 40 in good shape in the best shape of my life... I'm going to put in a very concerted effort starting on Tuesday.

The Chiefs might be done

Are the Chiefs done? The Chiefs might be done. Is Travis Kelce, has he lost all of his skills? A lot of football to get to.

George Pickens is worth the headache

This was the George Pickens game. He had the Randy Moss stat line... it doesn't excuse everything George Pickens done this year, it just confirms that George Pickens is worth the headache because he has this in him.

Mike Tomlin will find his way to nine wins

Whatever you wanna say about [Tomlin], he will find his way to nine wins. He's gonna find his way to nine wins. They had to win this game to find his way to nine wins... the Mike Tomlin path is set.

The Bills are worth betting at 35-1 to win the Super Bowl

If you like the Bills to beat the Chiefs, take 'em 35 to one to win the Super Bowl because the AFC is wide open. And it's not saying that the Bills aren't, it's not saying the Bills are some world beating team. It's that the rest of the pack has come back to the Bills.

Jared Goff's stats are better than Matthew Stafford's this year

Jared Goff has 3,984 yards, 27 touchdowns, 10 interceptions. Matthew Stafford has 3,648 yards, 23 touchdowns, nine interceptions... Jared Goff more yards, more touchdowns, and only one more interception than Matthew Stafford this year.

I will match Big Cat's offer of Super Bowl tickets for Lions fans

Max, thank you. Huge for you, Max. You wanna match? I'll match. I'm matching for this year. Not saying like extending it to Infinity. This season. This season.

Joe Flacco is a better option for the Browns than Deshaun Watson

If he's healthy as he is right now, [Flacco] is without a doubt, a better option for your team than Deshaun Watson.

Mike Evans is a first-ballot Hall of Famer

Mike Evans is a first ballot hall of famer... If he plays for five more years... he would be in the list with Jerry Rice, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, and T.O. ... He will go down as one of the best receivers of all time.

Justin Herbert to the Bears for the #1 pick is the best possible trade

Justin Herbert for the number one pick would be the greatest thing in my life... You know that owner cares about getting fans in that stadium. If they can draft Caleb Williams... and then give the Bears Justin Herbert... I would do that in a second.

The Dolphins and Cowboys are both frauds

The Cowboys are frauds. Frauds, but the Dolphins are also frauds because all they prove that they is that they can beat a fraud... we didn't learn anything from this game whatsoever.

The Cowboys win that game if they have Ezekiel Elliott

The Cowboys, it's funny how the narratives work... if they have Zeke Elliott, I think they win that game. They have struggled in the red zone all year, and Tony Pollard around the goal line has been a disaster.

Bill Belichick will beat the Jets one last time then leave for the Commanders

If Belichick is going to the Commanders, Belichick will figure out a way to beat the New York Jets one last time... and then give the Patriots a worst pick, give his potential new team a better pick. That's my fanfiction world.

Taylor Swift ruined Santa Claus for thousands of children

Taylor Swift probably ruined Santa Claus for thousands and thousands of children across America today... my four-year old son Chris walked in and he saw Santa... Santa was in her box, and he said, dad, we just opened presents... how come he's on TV right now?

Antonio Pierce must be the permanent head coach of the Raiders

Antonio Pierce needs to be the head coach. His message before this game... was 'hatred, violence and pain.' ... There will be no better head coach for the Raiders... perfect culture fit.

The third-and-20 conversion to A.J. Brown saved the Eagles' season

There was one play that saved the season. It was after the pick six. They go to third and 20. That was the third and 20 to A.J. Brown was the play that saved the season. Because if they don't pick that up, they're fucked.

NFL MVP is stupid because it's decided in the last three weeks

This is why the MVP in the NFL is so stupid... it feels like it is decided in the last three weeks of the season every year. It's whoever has a big primetime game at the end of the year.

I will eat 50 Dairy Queen blizzards as my New Year's resolution

My New Year's resolution is I'm gonna eat more blizzards, Dairy Queen blizzards... New Year's resolutions are, to me, less about changing yourself for the better and more about just doing the things you like more... I'm thinking like 50.

Shohei Ohtani to the Dodgers is not more impactful than Jackie Robinson

Ben Verlander... said that Shohei Ohtani to the Dodgers is the most important signing in Dodgers history... Jackie Robinson? ... Pretty impactful. The word impactful was really interesting to us. Most important, most impactful.

The NBA is back to being irrelevant

Who's back? NBA being Irrelevant.

The Rams are officially a legitimate, good football team

I think we can say that the Rams are legit. Like they're, they're a good, they're a good team.

The Rams are officially a dangerous playoff team

I'm gonna say this, the Rams, I think they're officially dangerous. That's what they are. They're dangerous. Matt Stafford playing great ball.

Matt Stafford is a Hall of Famer

Matt Stafford is a hall of Famer and watching him play football is fun. Like his, the the throws he makes And, it, it's, it doesn't feel like it's gratuitous. It's like it's making some of these throws. 'cause he has to make these throws.

Dennis Allen is the worst coach in the NFL

We also need to talk about the fact that Dennis Allen might be the worst coach of all time. And that's not being facetious. That's not being like hyperbolic. That is, if you look at the stats, I think he is somewhere around the seventh to 10th worst coach record wise.

The Steelers will beat the Bengals in Week 16 because of their culture

This feels like to me and also no Jamar Chase for the Bengals and DJ reader, which will be very important in my opinion. This feels like the Mike Tomlin Steelers era is on the line. This is for the culture because it's, it's an underdog game at home. No one thinks the Steelers are good. They're very banged up and I think they're gonna win this game.

Bryce Young will win Offensive Player of the Week in Week 16

I think Bryce Young is gonna get offensive player of the week. Oh. Because the last two quarterbacks that the Packers have played against have done Offensive Player of the Week, baker Mayfield. And then the week before that Tommy Devito. Yeah. So, Bryce Young, next up Player of the week.

The NFC will win the Super Bowl

NFC will win the Super Bowl. ... Should just take the Niners to win the super Bowl even though it's a terrible lineup.

Ron Rivera will be fired by the Commanders

Do you think Ron Rivera will get fired? Yeah, I do.

Bill Belichick coaching for a team other than the Patriots is a looming reality

Could you see Bill Belichick coaching for any team, but the New England Patriots next year? I mean, I think it's a reality that's gonna, that's gonna come, you know, I won't believe it until it's done. But it it, when the media starts getting on this and starts talking about it where there's smoke, there's fire. And I just hope it's handled correctly.

Drops are contagious among wide receivers

Are drops contagious? They are. I, I, I, I honestly think it's not just one thing that you fix it, it, it comes down to, you know, guys working together to execute a play. ... It ultimately comes down to just practice and preparation.

The Ravens are the biggest threat to the 49ers in a Super Bowl matchup

Lamar Jackson is just a game plan killer. Right. You know, he can go take a game over, you know, and especially if he's, you know, Odell, when when the lights are bright, you know, odells gonna come out and he's gonna start bawling. ... I think they're a scary football team ... Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are 19 and 5 against the spread as an underdog.
