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

The Eagles did not win the Super Bowl in the 2023 season; they lost in the Wild Card round to the Buccaneers.

Trading Tyreek Hill was a smart long-term move for the Chiefs

I also think the Chiefs made a calculated move to essentially say, we know that with Patrick Mahomes, he's gonna be the franchise quarterback for 15, maybe 20 years. We have to evolve and stay ahead of this like trading Tyreek Hill for a bunch of draft picks... I have no problem with like, people are complaining that they got rid of Tyreek Hill. Well, yeah, I think that was a smart move for the next five, 10 years instead of right now.

This is a long-term subjective opinion on management strategy.

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.

The Packers actually beat the Lions 29-22 on Thanksgiving.

Turkey belongs on Thanksgiving and you shouldn't try to replace it with steak

Turkey on Thanksgiving is what you do. You have to keep doing it. If you start doing steak on Thanksgiving, it now diminishes steak... Let's not try to reinvent the wheel. That's When, you eat Turkey. There's no other time really to eat Turkey. Eat steak all year.

Purely subjective matter of taste and tradition.

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.

Despite going undefeated, Florida State was famously left out of the 2023 College Football Playoff.

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.

Florio predicted the NFL would eventually face a massive gambling lawsuit over flawed injury reporting. As of February 2025, no such massive lawsuit has materialized, but 'eventually' makes this open-ended and not yet fully resolvable.

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.

Flacco did not win the Super Bowl with the Browns. They made the playoffs but lost in the Wild Card round to the Texans 45-14.

The NFL injury reporting system is a joke that may eventually lead to congressional hearings.

Florio said, meanwhile, the NFL injury reporting system is a joke as evidenced by Burrow's wrist injury being hidden. The joke will be on the NFL when Congress calls a hearing or a prosecutor convenes a grand jury. I would love to see that... if you want to get people behind you just bring Roger Goodell up and make him testify under oath.

While the NFL investigated and the Bengals were fined, no congressional hearings or grand juries were convened over the matter.
