Takes
The Rams play 'Mickey Mouse' football with their excessive pre-snap motion
I agree with with your take that they're playing too fast. That's gonna be Mouse football when man on Sean McVeigh gets in his Huddle's and then he has his players like shift around like it's a game of three-card Monte at a carnival just to confuse defense... not some rinky-dink Mickey Mouse Disneyland offense where you try to score more points than the other team like a fucking coward.
Jerry Jones should treat Mike Nolan like he's in prison until the Cowboys' defense improves
If you're a good owner and you've got someone as shitty as Mike Nolan that's still employed, he shouldn't be allowed to season his food or have any flavor. You need to treat him like he's in prison... until he either quits on his own or decides that he's going to get better and be accountable and start to make improvements. You take away all salt, pepper. He should not be eating hot food or spicy food at all.
It is incorrect to claim that shaming the Cowboys for not defending Andy Dalton is 'toxic masculinity'
There was a guy from Pro Football Focus who said that in my humble opinion attacking the Cowboys for not going after [Jon] Bostic who by any means wasn't a threat to Dalton anymore is toxic masculinity at its peak... meanwhile every person that's ever played football has responded and been like this is this is incorrect.
Dak Prescott's leverage increases every time the Cowboys lose a game without him
Jerry every time you try somebody else out there, he's making me money. This is Dak sitting back at the table like let my leg get healed up, you give me my money... Watching the team go without him, his head has calmed down. He's saying right now, 'Yeah, my money. I'll be there.'
Being an NFL media personality is more mentally exhausting than actually playing in the NFL
I get more tired at this than I did at playing... when the bodies are exhausted, the mind is still racing... But in this [media], when you're exhausted, you're exhausted here in the mind... the mind is shut down. I never was going to shut down after a long game on Sunday.
The Titans are a tier below the Chiefs, Ravens, and Steelers
I still don't think the Titans are like top top level AFC. This is not—if we're putting it into two tiers, I'm not saying the Titans are bad. I'm saying there's a tier of Chiefs, Ravens, Steelers, and I think there's a step down to the Titans.
The Buccaneers might blow up quickly because of the Antonio Brown signing
I am a little bit concerned about the Bucks after this because of Antonio Brown. I think Antonio Brown is insane... I think the Bucks might—things might get blown up real fast.
Clayton Kershaw should be the World Series MVP
Clayton Kershaw World Series MVP, why not? I'm hoping that well—no, he's not going to pitch on Tuesday. I feel like they'll give it to him, right?
The Patriots and Cowboys both need immediate players-only meetings
The Cowboys did that [players only meeting] last week, they should have broke the glass because it is a case of emergency, and the Patriots should be doing it Monday morning. They should be doing it tomorrow because somebody needs to stand up and talk and take control.
The Dallas Cowboys are dead
The Dallas Cowboys are dead. D-E-A-D dead. Mike McCarthy... six weeks into the season and there's already a mutiny. He looks like he's given up. [The Cowboys] are ridiculously bad.
Ezekiel Elliott is officially fat
Ezekiel Elliott. Is he fat? I think Ezekiel might be fat now. Well, yeah when he starts mumbling he is. And also the nose ring's gotta go when you fumble you gotta take it out.
Joe Buck did nothing wrong with his flyover comments
Recurring guest Joe Buck... our good friend... he's on the hot seat because some rat from the Fox Sports production crew leaked audio of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman talking about the flyover and how it's like a waste of jet fuel... he didn't say anything wrong, right?
Clayton Kershaw is the greatest postseason pitcher of all time
Clayton Kershaw has the most wins in my book of any starter in the last 25 years since the wild card came around. So yeah, he's he might be the best postseason pitcher out there of all time.
Lamar Jackson can't come from behind when trailing
Lamar, he's not really that great playing with a small lead either... we talked about him not being able to come from behind at all. Even if you're up by like two scores. He's just he's limited some time.
There are too many quarterbacks in the NFL right now
There are too many quarterbacks in the NFL right now. Yes, there aren't enough teams that have like a dire dire situation... We've got kind of a log Jam and come through... There's like I don't know maybe five teams where it's like, you know for a fact they're gonna be okay want a quarterback.
The Packers struggle when they step up in class against physical teams
This is the same issue the Packers had last year they step up in class. They step up against a physical team and they don't look like the same, you know team that was started this season 5 and over... but the Bucks played physical they Blitz they fucking play great defense. Aaron Rodgers look lost.
If Alabama loses to Georgia without Nick Saban on the sideline, it shouldn't count as a loss
If Alabama loses does it count? Is it a Coach K thing? Does Nick Saban not get this on his record? ... I unironically think yes. I think Nick Saban will get in front of the press and say exactly that. Be like, 'Hey, guess what? That wasn't my team. That was Steve Sarkisian's team.'
Derrick Henry is not a good short-yardage running back because his legs are too long
I agree with at the start of that game when they started feeding Derrick Henry the ball. [Billy] said Derrick Henry actually sneaky not a great short yardage running back. ... Legs are too long. ... Big guys just they can swallow them up.
DK Metcalf is like Calvin Johnson and Jerry Rice combined
DK Metcalf? Buy. I mean, the guy's Calvin Johnson and Jerry Rice combined and he's starting to become fully aware of what he can do.
Josh Norman should retire immediately after that Derrick Henry stiff arm
Josh Norman should retire like soon after that. Derrick Henry stiff arms are hilarious... he does like The Kill Bill the Five Finger Death Punch on you like Taps who with his fingertips and then your heart stops immediately and you go limp you go flying.
The Chargers are just the Seahawks but they lose at the end
The Chargers are the Seahawks. They just lose at the end. They are the JV low-rent version of what the Seahawks do—they play weird games, are always in it till the end, but they are just always on the losing end of those really weird strange fourth quarters. They invent ways to lose.
Drew Brees is officially washed
I am sticking with my Drew Brees has washed. What I'm saying is they have a Super Bowl roster and Drew Brees is probably going to be the thing that holds them back when they get in a playoff game against the pass rush... he's no longer at that level.
Justin Herbert passes the 'eyeball test' as a professional rookie
[Justin Herbert] passed my eyeball test right off the bat... he was a Pro's Pro. He was a precocious rookie. I like the Justin Herbert that I saw in the first few games. I don't want him to lose that edge.
Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porziņģis are cornerstones; the Mavs need one more piece for a title
We've got two cornerstones in KP and Luka... one one more piece, I think really gets us to competing for title just a question of whether or not we can get that player... defending really good Wing players, you know, the Bron's, the Kawhi's, the Paul George's... we need better Defenders that can also score.
Gen Z's lack of cable is the primary reason for declining sports TV ratings
Our biggest fan base comes from gen Z and younger Millennials... consume more basketball and NBA than any sport online but they don't have cable. They don't have satellite and so they couldn't even get ESPN and TNT. So that's a real problem for us... it's not about making excuses, the reality is this is just a different year.
The US should implement a $1,000 stimulus check every two weeks for a couple of months
The idea of thousand dollar stimulus every two weeks... when people have money to spend we can boost up the economy... That's not a long-term solution... but if you do it every two weeks for a couple months and you also make it you have to spend it or lose it... that puts money into the economy that has a multiplier effect.
Mike Zimmer made the correct decision to go for it on fourth down against the Seahawks
We 100% agreed together we watch the game and we said Mike Zimmer. This is a good move. Essentially we didn't even do it in a mass way. We said what do the Seahawks want the Vikings to do they? They want to kick they want the Vikings kick a field goal because they haven't stopped shit all night.
The Vikings are the 'best worst team' in the NFL
The Vikings are fraudulently bad... They're the best worst team in the league right now. It would not surprise me if the Vikings beat any team in the league.
The Raiders' victory over the Chiefs was a blueprint game for the rest of the NFL
The first thing that came to my mind when the Raiders beat the Chiefs I said to myself blueprint game... The Raiders got the blueprint from the Patriots and then executed the blueprint and now everyone else has the blueprint which is essentially have the best offensive line in the game run the ball really well make a few big plays.
Jimmy Garoppolo is worth exactly one point more than Nick Mullens or CJ Beathard
I really don't see the difference between Jimmy Garoppolo and Nick Mullens and CJ Beathard... How many points do you think Jimmy Garoppolo's worth like a starting healthy Jimmy Garoppolo? I'll Point. Yeah, probably a point. Yeah, they're essentially the same quarterback.
Rafael Nadal is the undisputed GOAT of tennis after his 13th French Open title
Rafa Nadal won the French Open today... 13 Roland Garros titles... Number 13 number 20 overall. I think searching Rafa ended the debate today. You know, he just unquestionable GOAT talk to me in five years.
The Eagles are better than their record indicates and will improve when healthy
A team I think that's easy to say is better than what the record is is the Philadelphia Eagles because of how injuries have derailed them and the performance of Carson Wentz thus far... when they get their offensive lineman back healthy... I think they're a team that's definitely better than what the record is.
The Tennessee Titans are not as good as their 3-0 record suggests
A team that's worse than what their record is... it's the Tennessee Titans. This is not a team that is undefeated three and oh in the NFL. They're a team that barely was able to come back and beat the Denver Broncos, beat the Minnesota Vikings... I don't think that this team is as good as what their record indicates right now.
It is better to be polarizing and polarizing than to be untrusted
It's better to be—there's no gray in this life. I mean, so it's black or white and polarizing and that's okay. It would be worse for me—it's okay if I'm not liked, it would be bad if I were not trusted. So that would really bother me, but I'm definitely trusted.
The Heat would have won Game 4 if Goran Dragic had played
I'm not going to make excuses and say this doesn't count as a finals win for LeBron, but you got to think that if [Goran] Dragic played this game, the Heat would probably win. Absolutely. I mean we can all agree on that.
I am rooting for the Houston Astros to make everyone angry
I'm a hundred percent rooting for the Astros. It would make so many people angry... so many Yankee fans angry and so many Dodger [fans]... it would make so many people angry that I think we have to root for that.
Doc Rivers will never be able to successfully ditch his nickname for 'Glenn'
He is going to get rid of the Doc Rivers nickname and just go by Glenn and somehow he thinks that that's just going to happen. Yeah, that doesn't happen. You don't go from a Doc to a Glenn because of anything.
I won't apologize for their 3-1 record, but I know in my heart that the Bears stink
I'm not going to apologize for three-in-one but I know in my heart of hearts of the Bears fucking stink. Okay. Are you happy? ... the Bears are just so predictable. Sometimes.
DK Metcalf is currently a top three wide receiver in the NFL
DK Metcalf where we ranking him top wide receivers because he's awesome. I'd say top top three that's lets you think that's a crazy draft pick for the Seahawks.
Josh Allen's haters have been proven wrong and their arguments are done
I actually think Josh Allen haters are kind of there's kind of done. They've admitted that the wrong. Yeah, they're like gospel, you know, they actually haven't they're like little Locus.
The Dallas Cowboys defense is ignorant and lacks passion
The Dallas Cowboys defense is ignorant is ignorant. ... it's the type of players that's out there that's putting his pathetic effort up. ... it's no want is no passion is no desire is no Playmakers.
Josh Allen is a bona fide baller but he is not a top five quarterback in the NFL
Josh Allen is not top 5 but Josh Allen is a bona fide baller. ... the kid is balling. He's leading. He's making plays.
I never gave up on Sam Darnold
I'm happy. I never gave up on that guy. But no, I did like Sam Darnold's toughness where he got body-slammed and I think he broke his shoulder but then went into the locker room was like, this might be my only chance to get a win this year. I have to play.
Small ball needs to come back to baseball
There's they need to bring back small ball. Nobody's playing small ball anymore. I sound like my grandfather... You get on first base, it's easy to steal second base. You get a seeing-eye single here and there, bring that shit back. Small ball wins. That's what it's all about. You got to zig while everybody else zags. No more bunts.
I am officially out on the Eagles
The Eagles are just, they're so sad. I'm done. I'm done. You're pulling the cord on him? Yeah, right. I can't. I'm thinking that they are the same team that won the Super Bowl and I'm just done, I'm done.
The Baltimore Ravens are the Houston Rockets of the NFL
Are the Baltimore Ravens the Houston Rockets of the NFL? Their analytics are Mickey Mouse-ish. By any objective measurement the Baltimore Ravens are awesome... and then in the playoffs the Chiefs are going to beat them by 40. They shit pump all the bad teams, but when the chips are down... they fall short.
Lavar Ball needs to be put on a boat and pushed out to sea so he doesn't ruin LaMelo's career
Lavar Ball is on the hot seat. LaMelo basically has to convince teams to just drown him out. They just have to put him on a medium-sized yacht, push him out to sea, no Wi-Fi, and just send him out until it's an appropriate time where he can't ruin your career.
The New York Jets head coaching job is the worst job in America
I think it's probably the worst job in America right now, coaching the New York Jets. I'm taking my name out of the hat unless I could just do it but not do it... I'll do it under the condition that I get to coach from the booth and I'm not showing up to work.
Drew Brees' mind is still there but his arm is completely buried
It's so sad though watching Drew Brees and I'm not going to pick on them because their offense looked a lot better than it against the Raiders, but when he does his mind is clearly still there. So that's why he can still be an average quarterback. He does not have dementia. His mind is completely buried. See the field and everything, but when he does the cock back and he's like, nope don't have it.
