Takes

Josh McDaniels is a great offensive coordinator who will eventually get a third head coaching shot

I think Josh McDaniels, he needs more respect. I've been saying that he's, he is a great offensive coordinator and we definitely, we whiffed on Wednesday's show when we talk about retread head coaches... McDaniels is, he is that guy that got the second shot, he's gonna get another shot.

The Dolphins will eventually play well enough that Mike McDaniel keeps his job for next season

I do think that it's a possibility that they play well enough where Mike McDaniel's the coach going in next year.

Jacoby Brissett is currently a better quarterback than Kyler Murray

He [Jacoby Brissett] has looked a lot better than Kyler Murray's looked this season. That's not—that's not a mistake. He's better right now.

The Lions are frauds who only score points against terrible teams

Every—this, it's a Lions suck fest because they score a lot of points against shitty fucking teams... This is just what the Lions do every fucking year. They score a lot of points against shitty fucking teams and everyone thinks that they're the best.

Joe Flacco is a lock to win the double revenge game against the Steelers

We're gonna start Joe Flacco. Rare double revenge game. Baltimore and Joe Burrows in the building.

LSU is a top-three job in college football and is better than the Alabama job

I caught a bunch of flack for saying I think LSU is a top three job in college football... I think it's a better job than Alabama... They've got more resources at LSU than there are at Alabama... Alabama doesn't have [boosters like Todd Graves] guys. They don't.

Ohio State vs. Indiana is the toughest matchup in the country for the Buckeyes

If I were to say of any team in the country, like what's the toughest matchup for Ohio State? It's Indiana... because they can run the football... Mendoza is also very good... That's gonna make life difficult on what I think is the best defense in college football.

Indiana can win the National Championship this year

I think Indiana is as—I think they can win a national championship. I really do. The, the, my question for them... is health and injury... If they're healthy, they're really good.

Alabama will not win the National Championship because they are too one-dimensional

Ba—Bama fans already hate me... Bama's not winning that game [against Ohio State]. The thing with Bama, I love what Alabama does throwing the football. They are not good enough elsewhere. So they're going to run into a matchup that is not favorable for them and they will lose.

The College Football Playoff committee is intentionally keeping JMU out because they don't want any 'presidents' in the bracket

I think it's a anti-PFT thing. I think maybe the college football playoff committee has gone woke and they don't want any presidents in their bracket. Makes sense. It's sad. I mean, just fast forward 20 years, Trump University probably will be blacklisted too.

Ohio State is significantly better than every other team in college football

I still think Ohio State is that much better than everyone else. And we'll find out though, Indiana and Ohio State feel like they're on a collision course.

The Eagles defense is nasty and Jalen Phillips was the missing piece to make them elite again

I think the Eagles defense is nasty... Jalen Phillips was a monster and they feel like they're rounding into that type of form again.

The Anthony Davis to the Lakers trade will be seen as a win-win in ten years

Rob Pelinka texted Nico Harrison and said something like, man, I I I would do it again because I I really think we both won... It was a good trade. In 10 years, they will be singing your praises.

My ceiling as a golfer might be higher as a lefty

I might be more... I can maybe my my ceiling is higher. Potentially left-handed more good at golf. My ceiling is higher. Damn. We'll see.

A 'hot blob' and an 'earth tilt' will make the Chicago winter catastrophic and uninhabitable

Apocalyptic winter might be upon us. Why? I think it's inhabitable winter. We might just have to go out of country... High pressure, massive ocean heat wave up in North Pacific. The blob... They're saying 2013-2014 had nothing on this blob.

Matthew Stafford will play for five or six more years

The way Matthew's playing right now, he's gonna keep going for another five, six years... Matthew's gonna be going another, I mean, as long as he wants to really.

Shohei Ohtani's 50/50 game in the 2024 NLCS is the best game ever played in sports history

[Ohtani's game] might be the best game ever played, maybe in any sport... especially when you consider the NLCS, you know, it's like, it's in the playoffs, you know? Yeah. I think he might be right.

Ayahuasca allows you to have real conversations with your ancestors in another realm

You go back, you go back and you have real conversations with your people. You know, you go to another realm... The medicine brought me places that definitely put me at peace with things that were, I had turmoil in my system.

Chemistry is the most underrated aspect of sports

Something very underrated about sports in general. People always underestimate chemistry. You know, we could talk about stats and the star player and this and that, but when you enjoy playing with somebody, I think those guys look, there's eight guys scoring 10 points on the bulls.

I can pass the bar exam without going to law school if I study for four months

I have irrational confidence in myself to be able to pass the bar exam. It doesn't make any sense. I just think that if I, if I tried for like four months... I think I can, I can be a lawyer.

The Commanders should not let Jayden Daniels play for the rest of the season

Under no circumstances should Jayden Daniels step foot on the field with this team this year. The defense is Yes, historically bad... I'm full on tanking. And, and there was a report last week that, that Jayden might come back after the buy. You should. I, I wanna be perfectly clear about this. Under no circumstances should Jayden Daniels step foot on the field.

Jonathan Taylor will win NFL MVP if the Colts finish with the best record in the league

If the Colts have the best record in the league and [Jonathan Taylor] has just an unreal season, yes. I I think he will get MVP.

The Kansas City Chiefs will miss the playoffs

Memes, did you say that maybe the Chiefs won't make the playoffs? I did. You wanna stand on that? Sure. Okay. Chiefs won't make the playoffs. Oh, you're saying the Chiefs won't make the playoffs. Whoa.

The Colts are the official AFC South champions

Let us be the first to say that the a FC South champs. Congratulations to the Colts. Congratulations.

The Chicago area will get three inches of snow that will be gone by Wednesday morning

I'll predict right now... I think we're gonna get three inches and it's gonna be gone by Wednesday morning.

The Panthers should never be favored in an NFL game ever again

We should just never, ever let the Panthers be favorites ever again... Probably makes anyone, never make 'em the favorite ever again.

The Patriots have an inflated record due to an easy schedule

Patriots look, they look cool. Patriots might have an inflated record due to their current schedule this season... I'm hearing around the league that your schedule might not have been the hardest.

The Patriots are a top-three team in the AFC

Where would you put them in terms of the best teams in the A, FC? One to three? One to three?

I am going to read Don Quixote cover to cover

I ordered it, I I'm gonna give it a shot... If I read the entire book cover to cover every single word, I will wipe the debt. Okay... I'm fucking, I'm I'm gonna be done with it by the time the punishment comes around.

The Buffalo Bills are officially broken

The bills are the bills. Okay. Because they have now dropped three of their last five games... The bills are broken. It was one of those games.

Caleb Williams has the clutch gene

Caleb Williams has that clutch gene where they're down 10 with six minutes left. He goes on a 91 yard drive and then goes on a 53 yard drive both touchdowns. And it's like, yeah, he, when the, when the lights get bright and the back is against the wall, he comes up with big plays.

It is coaching malpractice for Brian Daboll to play Russell Wilson over Jameis Winston

The fact that [Brian Daboll] has Russ Wilson starting or coming in second off the bench instead of Jameis, is it's malpractice as a coach. I think that's actually a worse mistake than losing four consecutive games where you have a lead by 10 or more points.

Matthew Stafford is the NFL MVP right now

MVP right now, I'd say Matt Stafford is the M-V-P-M-V-P. He's playing like an MVP right now. He absolutely is.

The Los Angeles Rams are the best team in the NFC

After watching everyone play, I, I think the Rams might be the best. They're number one in the NFC. Yeah.

Bo Nix is essentially the new Tim Tebow

I'm a believer. But the bow [Nix] wins football games. This is why we've been saying that he is Tim Tebow. Did you, you give him all the credit in the world for this and it was, that was a dog shit football game.

Wind is less impactful on football games in Denver due to the high altitude

Did you know that at altitude mile high, the wind doesn't have as much of an effect because the air is so thin. So if it's blowing 20 miles an hour, 20 miles an hour in Denver is like 25 miles an hour down at sea level.

Al Michaels' broadcasting mood is determined by the length of his flight to the stadium

My theory too on Al is that it just depends on how long of a flight he had to take. So when he's like at a Charger's vi the Charger's playing the Vikings, which was a blowout, he was pretty happy tonight... If he has to call next week Jets, patriots, we're gonna get a surly surly al Michaels 'cause he is gotta go cross country. He's gonna be pissed off.

The Jaguars control their own destiny in the AFC South if they beat the Colts twice

The Jaguars actually control their own destiny. If they could somehow beat the Colts twice, they will win the a FC South. I don't, I don't, I don't think the Jaguars are better than the cults. I just want that on the record. No, I'm just saying if you're looking for value, the cults have a difficult schedule and the Jaguars have a easier schedule and they play twice.

Feral cats are a significantly larger threat to bird populations than wind turbines

Cats are responsible for an estimated 365 million to 2.4 billion bird deaths per year in the US alone. And then wind turbines are responsible for an estimated 140,000 to 680,000 bird deaths annually... Feral cats are a problem. That's my, that's, that's the conclusion I came up with.

Wind turbines should be banned from the ocean because they destroy ecosystems

I'll stand up business on, on wind getting wind turbines out of the ocean. I don't really care one way or the other about the ones on land... I was on a boat off of Block Island and the captain was telling me about how a wind turbine broke and the pieces of the wind turbine were just completely destroying the ecosystem of the ocean.

Drake Maye's early success is inflated due to an easy schedule

Drake May's wins might be a little inflated. Do their easy schedule this year. Whoa... Hottest take, I guess hottest take about this game would be... definitely a may win.

The Italian race is essentially finished because they are too attracted to Latinas

He told me today that Italians were done in this country... because a lot of them are attracted to Latinas. And so then they have kids with Latinas and then there's no more Italians. Jerry just looked at his own kids and was like, man, Italians are done.

I would draft a generational cornerback over a generational pass rusher

If I had an opportunity at, you know, like a generational pass rusher with nobody behind them or a generational corner with decent rushers up front. I'm taking the generational corner... you cannot manufacture coverage. You can manufacture pass rush.

Caleb Williams is the most talented quarterback in the NFC North

I, I don't think it's unreasonable to say [Caleb Williams] is the most talented quarterback in the division... he's got a different kind of talent like the extension of plays, the throwing off tar off platform. Like that's big in today's NFL.

Solo dates are the superior way to experience the movies

I went on, I guess what someone called solo date the other day. I thought it was okay. I thought it was like a rec, a super normal thing to do... You ever, you ever go to the movies solo? Yes sir. All the time. That's great. I think that's the best way to go to the movies.

The Jets fleeced the Cowboys in the Quinnen Williams trade

You gotta haul. I would even say memes, I dare say fleeced. I think you fleeced the Cowboys.

Jerry Jones is the biggest loser of the NFL trade deadline

Jerry Jones is the big loser in all of this because he traded for a guy [Quinnen Williams] in on a season that things aren't going well. And then also watched Micah Parsons... it feels like Jerry Jones should have gotten more from Micah Parsons is my big point.

Notre Dame should not be ranked ahead of Texas or Oklahoma in the CFP rankings

I do think that the Oklahoma and Notre Dame Texas rankings makes no sense... Notre Dame's best win is against USC and their losses are Texas A&M and Miami... Texas's best win is Oklahoma and Vanderbilt... Oklahoma has also two ranked wins Michigan and Tennessee. Their losses against Ole Miss and Texas... it just doesn't make sense to me why Notre Dame is ahead of those two teams.

Kyler Murray will be a great quarterback on a different team in three years

I think in like three years, Kyler Murray will be a very good quarterback on a different team... picture this Kyler Murray on the Saints.

The Green Bay Packers are a dangerous team because they are 'desperate' off a bad loss

If you're playing the Packers next, you gotta watch out because he's [LaFleur] gonna fix this and they're gonna come out with their hair on fire... You don't want to play the Packers against the Packers off a loss.
