Cam Ward has the 'eye test' of a franchise quarterback despite his poor debut stats

Cam Ward, if you look at his stats, you think he sucked. If you watched the game, you'd be like, there's something there... his receivers were dropping balls, his coaching was confusing at times... I'd be pumped, that Cam Ward looks like through one game, the eye test, it's there.

But they are the best team in the NFL. They won the Super Bowl. They're also the only team that's 1-0.

The Giants defense will be ferocious and cause problems for the league

Their defense is, is set up to be very good, especially kind of in a pass happy league they can get to quarterback... they can get sack fumbles, they can get, you know, get to the quarterback and really, you know, cause some problems.

The Cowboys family dynamic, not just skill, is what's missing for a Super Bowl run

They've always had the skill. It's just I need the collective will. Those three years we went 12 and 5, we had a good enough team... They had the skill, it was just not the collective will when we got to the playoffs. Hopefully that comes together.

George Pickens will be a phenomenal talent for the Cowboys playing with Dak Prescott

Phenomenal talent [George Pickens]... imagine what he must feel like Right now with a Dak Prescott at quarterback. Yeah.

Every college football game should be played on campus because neutral site games lack 'juice'

Alabama's players looked out of shape and lacked the necessary effort in their loss to Florida State

The most surprising thing... they didn't play with a lot of effort, they almost reminded me of guys that weren't in shape. Like they were loafing. They didn't run to the ball. It was like they just didn't care... the thing that made Alabama really good, which was the attention to detail, the effort, they didn't have.

Kalen DeBoer is not built for the SEC and will fail at Alabama

For whatever reason the coach doesn't fit Alabama... it takes a different kind of human to win in the SEC... I don't think Kalen DeBoer fits Alabama. Alabama fan base and the Alabama pressure is different and it fucks people up. And it fucked him up last year. I think it's gonna fuck him up again. He's not built for this shit.

Trey Hendrickson's contract raise is a win-win for both the player and the Bengals

Winning the Ryder Cup as a playing captain would make Keegan Bradley an all-time legend, perhaps better than winning a major
