Takes

The Chiefs have regressed into a normal good football team that loses like everyone else

It's that the Chiefs, they're starting to lose games in ways that are familiar to every other team out there to every other fan base. It's they, they look like all of us now. I'm actually starting to think that it might kind of be their regression back to being just like kind of a normal good football team.

The NFL should have a commissioner for every division to run PR and attack ads

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a commissioner for each division? I mean, just had like commercials and stuff and you're like, yeah, hey, here at the AFC South, we actually played winning football now. ... I just wanna watch a football game and see just an attack ad on a certain division. Like, 'The NFC South sucks... they have the Bucs, but what else?'

LeBron James will not retire until the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles

I was talking to [Mark] Titus about it... he was saying that he doesn't think LeBron's gonna retire till 2028 when the Olympics are in LA. That's so much more LeBron. ... He will, that will be the last basketball. He plays the Olympics in 2028.

Conor McDavid's team-friendly contract was designed to make him easily tradable to a contender

This seems like it would be very easily tradable. Very, very easily tradable contract. He basically, I mean smart by him. If in a year and a half the Oilers aren't competing and he can go somewhere for a year and a half and it doesn't fuck up some team's cap.

Texas A&M is the most surprising SEC team that could run the table the rest of the season

I would say Texas A&M. I do think that they're legitimately good. ... They've kind of figured things out and gotten their act together the last few weeks. ... I'm not saying that they will, I'm just saying they strike me as a team that is much better than anybody truly expected.

Arch Manning looks like an unpolished freshman and is not ready for the SEC

I thought like the last few years sitting on the bench developing behind Quinn Ewers is like we were gonna see a much more polished player than what we have seen to this point. He just looks like a freshman even though he is now in his third year on campus. So I think that is very alarming.

Ohio State's defense is definitively better than it was last year

I do think there is an argument to be made that the defense is better than last year's defense. I think [Jim Knowles] is just confusing the ever living crap out of all the quarterbacks that he has faced so far. ... Once they get to the red zone, they're just absolutely clamping down and not giving up anything.

Michigan is a better team than USC and will beat them on the money line

I think the wrong team is favorite in Los Angeles. I think Michigan's a better football team than USC. ... I'm probably just gonna be on the Michigan money line. ... I think Michigan's just much better than they are along the lines of scrimmage.

The adults and coaches set the tone for a program, not the players

People always saying, well, players nowadays bullshit. Right? It the adults, the adults set the tone right and the players will follow. And we have the right kind of players with the right kind of mentality is full throttle every day, man. And you and you're honest, don't, we don't sugarcoat anything.

Awarding the Heisman Trophy before postseason games are played is bizarre

The only thing I would wish for the Heisman Trophy that it was awarded when all the games were done. That whole award before these postseason games are played is absolutely bizarre to me. Like, I don't, I can't comprehend it. Never will.

The Patriots have officially taken back control of the AFC East

Touchdown would be great. And the torch will be passed. It's, it's our, it's our division once again. Officially a torch passing.

The Denver Broncos are for real after their win against the Eagles

It felt like one of those, Hey, this is the win the Broncos needed... the Broncos are for real.

The Eagles' loss was due to an absolute gauntlet of a schedule catching up with them

I will say that the Eagles also have played just an absolute gauntlet of a schedule so far... at some point that caught up with them a little bit. And the Broncos are good enough to take advantage of that.

Dak Prescott is definitively in the MVP conversation

Dak is playing very good football... I would disagree with [Booger McFarland] because there's a couple guys who it's definitely close with, but Dak is definitely in the MVP conversation right now.

The 2025 Jets are the worst team in football

They're on the clock. It's over. This is the worst team in football. And probably the worst team I've ever watched.

Justin Fields is a loser

Justin Fields is perfect for this team... he's a perfect quarterback to lose games and that's it. That's all he is. He is a loser.

Daniel Jones is a Pro Bowl quarterback

Daniel Jones, he's playing fast and he's like, he's super confident... Let's just talk about Daniel Jones is a Pro Bowl quarterback. He's good at football.

Derrick Henry's struggles are primarily due to the absence of fullback Patrick Ricard

I think that the conversation is Patrick Ricard. He's a fullback. Patrick Ricard is the most important running back on the Ravens... Without him out there blocking for Derrick, it's a lot harder.

I am officially sick of the Cardinals' shit

I'm sick of the Cardinals' shit. I'm just am. It's not good. I just, I I am, I don't... I'm just, I'm done with the Cardinal shit. It's been a long time since I've like truly enjoyed watching the Cardinals play football.

Just bet the Lions every week because they are a covering machine

I read you the stats on Friday. Just bet the Lions every week all they do is cover. It doesn't matter the spread. They are a covering machine.

Jake Browning is exciting because you never know how bad his interceptions can get

I think he might now have flipped over into the side of quarterback where he's excited to watch because you don't, you just don't know how much worse the interceptions can get.

The Buccaneers are the most fun team in the NFL

The Bucks are the funnest team in the NFL bar none. So much fun to watch. Not even close.

Taylor Swift's new album is a flop

My other's back the week is Taylor Swift... heard it was a flop. From what I've seen, I, I would give it not her best... some are saying it's, it's chat GPT. It's it's, yeah.

The Yankees should not celebrate a wild card win

I don't think that the Yankees should celebrate winning a wild card round... I think every other team can do it. You're the New York Yankees. You're supposed to be the Yankees. The standard shouldn't just be winning a wild card series.

Pitching Matthew Boyd on short rest was an inexplicable mistake by Craig Counsell

Craig Council decided to pitch [Matthew Boyd] on short rest game one. He got absolutely lit up... I don't understand it. Why wouldn't you go bullpen? ... Short rest is for the end of a series, not the fucking first game of a series.

The Phillies' current competitive run is nearing the end

This, it's, it, it is nearing the end of our run. Like Zach Wheeler, who knows what he's gonna be when he comes back... Schwarber is probably gone. Ranger Suarez is probably gone.

Drake Maye will beat a team with a winning record for the first time this week

I think this is the week that that Drake Maye finally beats a team that's above 500. I think that he's done a great job getting to this place. I think he's ready. He's put in the prep. This is the week where Drake Maye beats a winning team.

The 49ers would have a Super Bowl by now if they had drafted Mac Jones instead of Trey Lance

If the 49ers draft Mac Jones like was rumored instead of Trey Lance, so many things are different. The 49ers probably win a Super Bowl. Mac Jones is one of the highest paid QBs in football. And we never find out just how good Brock Purdy is.

Aaron Judge will never be a true Yankee unless he wins a World Series

Aaron Judge has to win. He has to. Aaron Judge will not, he will not ever be a true Yankee... [he] has to win a World Series or else. Not a true Yankee. Probably not even. I'll take him out of the Hall of Fame. I won't vote for him.

The Tigers' series win erased the memory of the Guardians' historic 15.5-game comeback

Did the Tigers just erase that entire 15 and a half game comeback? I unfortunately think yes... when you lose then to the Tigers in three games, that's brutal. You caught them to then get the right to lose to them at home. You kept them alive to allow them to embarrass you.

The Cubs should always play afternoon playoff games and the Phillies should always play night games

I have a take about the Cubs games. I think the playoffs, whenever possible the Cubs should play afternoon games. And the Phillies should play night games... Because Wrigley Field looks awesome. Especially like in the sunset... the stadium is perfect for Twilight. And then Philly, the SEC environment... it works at the bank.

I am donating all my 50/50 raffle winnings plus an extra $25,000 to charity

I am gonna donate all the money and then some... I'm donating all the money and then more, I'm, I, I wrote Lavante a check for 75,000, which will hopefully get them back on their feet. And I'm just doing it. I'm the 50 50 is the love of the game... it was never about the money.

Shedeur Sanders is 'behind the eight ball' if Rex Ryan is getting in his head

If Rex Ryan is in your head, Rex Ryan talks on TV... He has nothing to do with the NFL right now... If Rex Ryan is taking up any space at all in your head to the point where you're gonna react to that in a press conference, I feel like you're already a little bit behind the eight ball.

The Browns will cover the +4.5 spread against the Vikings in London

I like the Browns to keep it within a field goal... the Browns defense obviously is elite top three defense in the NFL. The Vikings are going to blitz the fuck out of Dylan Gabriel. They're gonna confuse him. It's gonna be a lowest scoring game.

The 2024 Eagles are the worst 20-1 team in NFL history

Is this Eagle's team the worst 20 and one team in their last 21 games of all time... every, literally every negative thing that I've said about the Eagles this year has come from a place of extreme jealousy and also trying to stir Max up... I think the Eagles, yeah, they're the worst.

Jalen Hurts is the new Joe Flacco

I think he's, he's become the new Joe Flacco where he won a Super Bowl, but everyone's trying to fight. Is Jalen Hurts Elite sound off in the comments?

Marvin Harrison Jr. will break his first career tackle this week against the Titans

I am on, on tackle breaking watch this week. I think this is the week that Marvin Harrison Jr. breaks his first tackle... Kyler Murray, bad body language. Marvin Harrison, Jr. bad body language... after Sunday... people are gonna start to have that conversation.

The Commanders will win 'decisively' against the Chargers

This is a must win decisively game. I think that, I think we can win this game decisively. Commanders minus six and a half. Yeah. You should take that. I'm in, I'm in on it. I trust in Dan Quinn. Dan's gonna get it figured out.

The Patriots vs. Bills game will be a shootout

I'm excited. I'm really excited. I think this game is gonna be a shootout. I think it's gonna, you know, Patriots are gonna have to get a little bit lucky, but it's gonna be a good test... One score. Yeah... I love the Patriots team total over, I love the regular over.

I am betting the Patriots Moneyline to beat the Bills

I can I take the Patriot's money line? ... At some point, Drake Maye's gotta do it. I'm gonna go Patriot's money line. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah, let's go.

Changing the quarterback is the only way to send a real message to an underperforming team

You change your quarterback. Now you're sending a message to everybody. Like, whoa, we need to, we need to pick this thing up. And it wasn't anything against Carson Wentz, it was just the fact that we as a whole team, we weren't coaching and playing very well. I needed to do something to spark the team.

Being a backup quarterback is the hardest role to prepare for in football

It's probably the hardest position on the football team that still has to prepare like a starter, but is not playing... you're sitting there watching... and I never did this in Green Bay... but if that starter goes out with injury, I've gotta put the helmet on and go play. I don't want you to play like the starter. I want you to play like you.

The Guardians have team of destiny vibes this postseason

Tigers got in a little bit of trouble there in the ninth with Javi Baez having an error. Looked like the Guardians, like the Guardians, at least the way they finished the season, have some team of destiny type of vibes.

The Bengals should trade for Jameis Winston to save their season

We need Jameis so, so badly... At least Jameis is gonna sling it. At least he's gonna throw it... because it's a national emergency.

The Jets will not win a single game for the rest of the season

After last night's game, I don't think they're gonna win a game. I think they're gonna go... that team did not look like they could win a game.

Drew Allar will have a long career as an NFL backup but never be a starter

I think this man is going to have a Chase Daniel type career as a backup quarterback... millionaire, top 0.001% of quarterback to ever play the game of football, but never be the guy, a starter, but a great backup.

The Commanders' ceiling this season is a second-round playoff loss

I think at the best this team is going to be good enough to lose in the second round of the playoffs. That's the ceiling. I think that's the ceiling this year.

The Patriots' ceiling is a Super Bowl appearance if they beat the Bills

I would like to put Super Bowl appearance. Asterisk... I think we're gonna shock the world this Sunday and then anything's possible.

Penn State should stay the course with James Franklin despite big-game losses

I think Penn State is absolutely on the should stay on the same course. Nothing has fallen off... Everything about the first three quarters told me James Franklin can't do it, and then the fourth quarter happened. I think they played well enough in the fourth quarter to convince themselves that they can break through.

The top of the Big 10 is currently better than any team in the SEC

I think there's three teams in the Big 10 better than any team in the SEC right now. I think it's Penn State, Oregon, Ohio State. And I think the SEC as far as the top end elite Playoff contenders is down a step from where it was.
