Takes
PFT CommenterThe Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl
Raiders Chiefs, Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl. Chiefs are minus 11 and a half... Their offense is humming.
MaxIf the Eagles lose to the Vikings, their season is dead
This is the do or die game. If you lose third week in a row, to Carson Wentz... if they lose this game, I think it comes crumbling down.
Dianna RussiniThe Eagles are not currently trading AJ Brown
Right now, I will tell you 'cause it just was something that I was part of the last few hours. They they are not trading [AJ Brown].
Jon GrudenBaker Mayfield would be the NFL MVP if the season ended today
We were on that Fox show and they asked me who I thought the MVP would be and I said, if we did it today, it'd be Baker. And I just compare him to Brett Favre when we were in Green Bay. He brought life to the huddle.
Jon GrudenTy Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year
Ty Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year. He's not making everyday throws now. He's pushing it down the field. He's getting outta trouble. He's got a soul about it, man.
Jon GrudenThe Steelers have arguably the best fourth-quarter pass rush in the NFL
The Pittsburgh Steelers are another team that I'm really excited about. I think they have arguably the best fourth quarter pass rush. They got three ends that can kick your ass.
PFT CommenterThe Mariners are a team of destiny
I do feel Team of Destiny Vibes from the Mariners. Now their destiny might be to just get waxed by the Dodgers in the World Series. But I do think that Seattle's gonna get there.
Big CatThe Falcons are really legit
I think they [Falcons] might be really legit. They had two interceptions, four sacks, like they were all over the place. Held the Bills to two for nine from third down. I think they're really legit.
PFT CommenterI still think the Commanders are going to make the playoffs at 3-3
I still think when all is said and done, 'cause it's a long season, we do have a very hard schedule from here on out. I still think that we're gonna make the playoffs at three and three. I think that that's definitely a possibility.
Big CatThe Bears are unequivocally no longer a bad football team
I would say the Bears are not a good football team, but they're unequivocally no longer a bad football team. And that is a very important distinction to make in the progression of a team.
Big CatIndiana is going 12-0
America, be ready and maybe have a sit down and have a conversation with your children... about 12 and oh Indiana, because Indiana is so fucking good. Indiana is gonna go 12 and Oh get prepared.
HankThe NFL is rigged to favor the Chiefs
The NFL is rigged. There was a study, UTEP did a study. It's statistically proven that the Chiefs... have gotten way more favorable calls in that timeframe. And they did the research that that did not happen with other dynasties in the past.
PFT CommenterThe World Cup draw will be rigged for the United States
If anyone could pull it off, Trump doesn't care about soccer. Oh he does. He he's, he took the ball from FIFA. He's been bragging to everybody about how he got the World Cup. Make that happen buddy. Iceland is the smallest country to qualify for the World cup.
Big CatSherrone Moore wearing a blue-collar jacket is a cheap knockoff of Jim Harbaugh that won't work
He has his blue collar jacket on and he basically was like, Hey, I'm back to work. It worked for Jim Harbaugh because Jim Harbaugh had won... This feels like a cheap knockoff and it's not gonna work. He's appropriating working man culture.
Jeff PassanThe Dodgers vs. Brewers series is a proxy war for the future of baseball's economic system
This is not just the Brewers versus the Dodgers. This is the future of baseball as we know it in a proxy war because whoever ends up winning this series, the other side will use this when the MLB goes to a lockout and fights for a salary cap.
Jeff PassanThe impending MLB lockout will be the defining story of baseball next year
This is going to be the defining story of baseball next year. So hopefully people understand that this is gonna be a big deal... owners essentially lock players out, say you cannot report to work. And then it just becomes a staring contest.
Matt LeinartCJ Carr will be a top-five draft pick
CJ Carr's a stud. I think that this dude's gonna be a top five pick in the next couple years. So if you do take away the run now you gotta deal with the pass. That's something they didn't have to do last week.
Matt LeinartVirginia will make the College Football Playoff
Virginia guys is like Brady, Quinn. Like, they, they might make the college football playoff dude. Their schedule's awesome. They'll be 11 and one. And if they lose to Miami in ACC like 11 or 10 and two, whatever it is, they might be, that's the one team dude I think that's the one team that no one is talking about.
Big CatAaron Glenn has quit his job as Jets coach
I think [Aaron Glenn]'s quit. I think he's quit. I think he realizes how bad this team is and he's just trying to get games over with, get the first overall pick and then try to get guys in.
HankThe Broncos are making a deep playoff run
I'm just thinking in the Broncos making a deep playoff run. I, this defense is really good man... I think I'm, I'm backing on the Broncos. Yeah. Buying some Broncos stock.
MemesBreece Hall will be traded to the Chargers or the Chiefs
I think Breece Hall's gonna go to the Chargers or the Chiefs. Al Lazard's probably already in Pittsburgh. Yeah. Both Quinn and Quincy. The Williams brothers. They're gone. Most likely.
Big CatMike McDaniel will get fired as Dolphins head coach
I don't know. They're, they're just a bad vibes. I mean they're, he's he's gonna get fired so... I think he's a good, he's gonna be a good offensive coordinator somewhere else.
PFT CommenterDrake Maye might be legit
What if Hank was right about the passing of the torch game? What if, what if Drake Maye has just... I, there is a part of me that's like Drake Maye, might be legit. Legit. And it has less to do with my quarterback, but more to do with the fact that I don't think that America is ready to handle Patriots fans with a big ego. Again.
Big CatI am starting to like Spencer Rattler as a quarterback
I kind of, I kind of am starting to like Spencer Rattler... Spencer Rattler didn't play bad and he had a couple, like, there was a, there was one pass that he made that was a perfect pass that just was dropped in the end zone. Like I Spencer Rattler might be Okay.
PFT CommenterThe Browns should start Shadeur Sanders to see what happens
Best case scenario, [Shadeur Sanders] goes out there and he's, he plays pretty good. Yeah. And then you could trade him. Like the, you have nothing to lose... Just, just roll the dice on [Shadeur Sanders]. Yeah. Yeah. Again, nothing to lose. Best case scenario, it doesn't work out. Then you send Gabriel back out there, you continue to not win games.
Big CatThe Ravens could be 6-6 after starting 1-5
I think the Ravens could be sitting at six and six even though they're one in five right now. I think they could be sitting at six and six... That to me looks like at minimum five in one with a healthy Lamar.
Big CatThe NFC does not have any bad teams this year
The NFC does not have, they have not great teams. They have, they have some bad, bad ish teams, but everyone's, I mean, the Saints are the worst team and they're frisky. Yeah. It's a better conference for sure. Yeah. It just feels like, like top to bottom.
Big CatThe Colts are a legitimately good football team
The Colts are just fucking good. I don't know what else I, I feel like people are waiting for the shoe to drop. The Colts are five in one... Peyton Manning played on some really good offenses. They're good man. They're good. I, again, I think people are just waiting for it to not work, but I think they're just really good.
PFT CommenterLosing close games consistently is a sign of bad coaching
If you keep losing close games, that's usually a sign of bad coaching. Yeah. And if you look at the teams that had the worst, like the, the most like one score losses last year, you're looking at guys like Matt Eberflus... That's usually a sign that that guy is probably not gonna stick around very long.
Big CatBaker Mayfield is the current NFL MVP frontrunner
Baker Mayfield. That's it. It's Baker Mayfield... Baker Mayfield, they don't have the, the, the Bucks don't have Mike Evans. They don't have Chris Godwin... Baker Mayfield. Not, not MVP candidate MVP, he might be a front runner right now.
Big CatThere is a 0% chance the Cubs resign Kyle Tucker
There's a 0% chance they resign Kyle Tucker. Kyle Tucker gave a quote after the game that has never, there's never been a guy who has been more gone than Kyle Tucker was gone in that moment... That's the most goodbye you could possibly have.
Big CatThe Penn State firing of James Franklin was necessary
James Franklin fired Penn State... You had to because Ir because they're gonna have to recruit and get, like, you can't fire your coach... where's he gonna get drafted? I don't, I don't know. He should've left late. He's gonna, he would've been a first round pick if he went last year.
MaxEvery Philadelphia sports team should be blown up and started from ground zero
Done. Everything's done. Blow it up. Blow up. Start every single team from ground zero. No, I, every single one of 'em, I'm done with the union.
Big CatAaron Judge's postseason home run is a footnote if the Yankees don't win the series
Aaron Judge hit that home run. Listen, that one foot. I said it. If they [the Yankees] don't win that series, it is a footnote and it is absolutely a footnote.
MaxThe Phillies' loss to the Dodgers is the worst in playoff history since Bill Buckner
It's the worst loss in playoff history since Bill Buckner. He should have gone to first. That is a play that you would be shocked to see on a little league field.
MaxJalen Hurts looks like the worst quarterback in the NFL
Jalen Hurts looks like the worst fucking quarterback in the NFL. He's a bad quarterback right now.
PFT CommenterThe New York Giants are finally fun to watch
The New York Giants are fun as fuck. It's weird, isn't it? You expect them to occasionally pop up and be a good football team, but in a very boring way. And this is a team that like, I wanna watch more Giants football games.
MaxSaquon Barkley has been horrible all season for the Eagles
Saquon also all of a sudden sucks. Now that no one's talking about that. He's horrible. He's been horrible all year. The whole team sucks. Everyone sucks.
PFT CommenterTravis Hunter the wide receiver would beat Travis Hunter the cornerback
Travis Hunter, the wide receiver we think could beat Travis Hunter the cornerback. Yes. Get toasted.
PFT CommenterThe Lions might be the best team in football
If you throw that [Packers] game out, you would look at this [Lions] team and be like, they might be the best team in football. Yeah. And I would not, I would not argue with you about that.
Tyler BiadaszJonathan Taylor is a top-three human being in the entire world
He is a workhorse, and what he's done in the NFL too is awesome to see. And man, his ability speaks volumes and he's even a way better person than he is a player too. Like, no, he is the most genuine human being. [He's a top three human] in my opinion. [In the entire world].
PFT CommenterThe Blue Jays are the only team with the mental criteria to beat the Dodgers in the World Series
I ran a mental simulation last night to, 'cause I was pissed off. 'cause it seems like the Dodgers were gonna win the World Series and there's nothing anybody else could do about it. I did 2000 mental simulations. I was laying in bed envisioning a team that I could picture beating the Dodgers in the World Series. And the only team that fits my mental criteria is the Blue Jays.
Big CatThe Cubs will be the only team to get swept in the Division Series
I think the Cubs are screwed because I saw Tom Fornelli our good friend who's on later on in the show, who does not like the Cubs tweets. So we're gonna get three out of four of the DS series as sweeps, and now the Yankees won. That means a Phillies are gonna win and the Cubs are gonna be the only team that gets swept.
