The Eagles have a real legitimate shot at beating the Saints because of Nick Foles

Philadelphia all day. That's as a fan... As a real sports guy, we have a real legitimate shot at beating the Saints... And I say that because of Foles.

Jeff Fisher will not get another NFL head coaching job this year

Will [Jeff Fisher] get a job? No. ... If anybody is pursuing him, it is either being done very secretly or an owner is going to get to a spot where he says, you know what? I don't like any of these options. Let's go get Jeff Fisher. That's the only way it's going to happen this year.

I'm taking the Chargers. I think Gordon... I don't know... But you know how you get it done? A little turnover magic. A little turnover luck. Lamar Jackson might throw a pick.

NFL teams will figure out Lamar Jackson in his second year

Next year is going to be different. I truly believe that... the coordinators haven't had a year to see what they're doing. You look at a lot of the great running quarterbacks, their first year is pretty nuts, and then the second year, that's when you see if they're really that good.

Rob Gronkowski is no longer the same player and will be available this offseason

This offseason, I'd bet your money and my money, Rob Gronkowski is probably going to be available this offseason. And people are going to say, man, Gronk's available. But if you watch Gronk play, Gronk isn't the same Gronk anymore. Like he can't run the way he used to.

Patrick Mahomes' unorthodox fundamentals will eventually fail him as his athleticism dips

The league is going to catch up to Patrick Mahomes throwing sidearm. 20 years from now, when his athleticism starts to dip, you can't rely on bending, contorting your body and running sideways and throwing sidearm passes. You just can't. So I have my doubts.
