Takes

Jayden Daniels will break every single NFL quarterback record this season

I really believe Jayden Daniels is going to break all QB records this season... I think he's going to have 5,000 passing yards... I think he's going to have 1,600 rushing yards.

Chase Brown will finish the season as a top 5 fantasy running back

Chase Brown is just such a stud... I think [he] will be a top five RB. He's just, and by the way, when you had Coach Gruden on and he was talking about that offensive line, it just made me so excited.

The Colts are intentionally tanking the season to draft Arch Manning

I think it was [Stephen A. Smith] that said that the Colts are purposely tanking for Arch Manning... makes me think the Colts are tanking for Arch Manning.

CJ Stroud will suffer a significant regression in his second season

I think CJ [Stroud] is going to regress even more. Even more... I just think he's going to regress even more. And you know what really bothered me about him... when he big brothered Caleb [Williams] last year.

Jameson Williams will have double-digit touchdowns this season

I think Jameson Williams will have double digit tds this season.

Ricky Pearsall will become the 49ers' number one wide receiver

Ricky Pearsall is gonna be the wide receiver one and he's going as late as the eighth round. Hey, when are they gonna stop saying he was shot?

Christian McCaffrey should not be drafted in fantasy football this year

Not taking McCaffrey at all... We're still not drafting Christian McCaffrey... I can't do it guys. I'm sorry. I can't do it.

Tetairoa McMillan will be a top 3 wide receiver in the NFL for the Panthers

It could be [Tetairoa McMillan] man, he's gonna be a top three wide receiver. I know I mispronounced his name last time... I think the Tampa offense will stay there and love Baker.

Daniel Jones winning the Colts QB job is a decision made under duress by Shane Steichen to save his job

I believe this is a decision made under duress by Shane Steichen. He [is] very much on the Hot Seat. And he basically is in the worst place you wanna be is an organization where it's like, I'm gonna get fired. I gotta find a way to eke out like six or seven wins. And Anthony Richardson has struggled... But Daniel Jones gives you a higher floor.

Daniel Jones will be serviceable for the Colts and can win eight games

Daniel Jones, when I say he is gonna be good, I, I would be shocked if he was like a, a pro bowl level quarterback, but I think he could be serviceable... I don't think he's going to be one of the better quarterbacks in the AFC, but I do think he could be good enough to win like eight games.

The Super Bowl should be played in London to make it a bigger global event

It's a football field. It's the same dimensions, it's the same place. Hey, people are, have it so twisted where it's like, if we want this to be the biggest event in the world, we should have it in [London]... It's better for the sport. It's better for the show. It's better for us. It's better for everyone.

Giving the Super Bowl to another country is disgusting

The Super Bowl is the most important thing we do as a country. We, we create the Super Bowl every year. We have a season, a football season that creates the Super Bowl. To give that to another country is disgusting. I'm disgusted with you.

The Patriots will return to the Super Bowl before the Commanders

We'll be in a Super Bowl before the Commanders. No, we [will].

Number 47 is a terrible number for a quarterback

Great brand. Terrible number for a quarterback. Bear's a bad start. You can't. Big guy. You put, you put harder earned money on a, on a team and you see a quarterback coming out wearing number 47.

Terry McLaurin will sign his new contract today

I think Terry [McLaurin] is going to sign my prediction. My official prediction. I think he's signing today. Whoa. I think he's signing on Wednesday... The crazy bird inside my own brain is telling me he's going to sign today.

LeBron James isn't focused on basketball because he's golfing too much

My Hot Seat is LeBron James. It's been the off season. You know, he, he's old. He, he probably should be taking more time to get ready and prepared and get his body ready... and he's just spent the whole summer golfing. He's just not locked in. He's not focused on the task at hand.

Justin Herbert will have a breakout season because he's dating Madison Beer

I agree. I think this is actually Justin Herbert's breakout season. Yeah. Yeah. I like this like getting the hot girlfriend. He's now he's around.

Obama calls 'bullshit fouls' in pickup basketball

I heard from someone that's hooped with him [Obama]... I heard that He calls bullshit fouls... In pickup. It is Mark against his person. No, absolutely... Weak ass fouls and pick up basketball.

Being an American soccer fan is the 'worst kind of guy you could be'

Being an American soccer fan is like, it's the, it's just the worst kind of guy you could be. Really? It's just the most [lame]. I live in Brooklyn, and I like footy. Like, it's just like shut up, you know.

LeBron winning in the bubble didn't feel the same as a real title

When we won, won in the bubble. I've said this before, but like, I like looked into my heart like 30 seconds later I was like, it doesn't feel the same with him [LeBron]. Yeah. It really doesn't feel the same with him.

Corner camping is a legitimate and awesome strategy in Call of Duty

I think that's awesome. Yeah, it's great. You find a good spot where you kill... corner camping. I ended up winning. It was great.

Joe Flacco will start at quarterback for the Browns to buy the coaching staff time

I think what [Kevin Stefanski] is gonna do is start Flacco and then he'll continue to have [Dylan] Gabriel and [Shedeur] Sanders kind of like going shot for shot... he's gonna buy himself a couple weeks by having Flacco start.

Matthew Stafford will miss a few games this season due to injury

I think [Matthew Stafford] can start and finish the season, but I think he'll probably miss a couple games inside the season.

The New York Jets will break the NFL record for rushing attempts this season

I think the New York jets this year are going to break the record for rushing attempts. They did a drive yesterday where they only ran it... I think we're just gonna watch Army Navy every single week.

The UFC should implement a rule requiring submissions after prolonged ground control

I just think that if you take someone down for 25 minutes and wrestle them, you should have to submit them... If you wrestle someone for 25 minutes, you have to submit them. Or else it's impressively boring.

Betting on Tommy Fleetwood to win the FedEx Cup is a guaranteed loss

I believe in Rob [with two Bs] more than Tommy. I do not believe in Tommy... This is going to be a good bet because he's going to get down to like plus 300 at some point, plus 200. We'll be like, great bet. And then he's going to lose.

MLB realignment and getting rid of the American and National Leagues would be a mistake

Shut the fuck up. Get the fuck out of my clubhouse, Rob [Manfred]... I actually think they should do the opposite. They should get rid of Interleague play... Dial it back, but don't get rid of the leagues. That would be a mistake.

Expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 or 28 teams is way too many

I was fine with 12. I do think there's seasons when you can have those teams from that six to eight range where, hey, they're peaking at the right time. 24? No thank you. This would suck.

The Phillies' season is effectively over if Zack Wheeler is out with blood clots

I think [Zack Wheeler] is probably done for the year, which means that the Phillies are probably done. Blood clot sounds bad in his shoulder.

Tottenham will win the Premier League this year

Tottenham? Really? Yeah, it's their year... Man City? That feels like maybe a safer bet. But Tottenham.

London should host a Super Bowl and it would be a cool event for the sport

The British ambassador of the US is pushing for a Super Bowl in London. I am down for it... I just think London would be a cool city for a Super Bowl. Better than San Francisco. It'd be a cool event, fun week.

The 2019 LSU Tigers are the best college football team of all time

With Joe [Burrow], I think we could beat anybody. It's gotta be won on the field. Now they've had some other great teams, but I do believe with Joe and the team that we had, we could've beat anybody we played that year... I'd put the LSU team in front of everybody.

Arch Manning is as close to—or maybe even better than—Joe Burrow

Arch [Manning] is as close to or maybe as good as Joe [Burrow] as I've seen. Really. And I've never said that about anybody. I watched his practice, and I'll say this conservatively... Arch is the real deal.

The 'Mega Bed' changed my life

I initially scoffed it because it was a long day of travel. I was tired. It was late. But then the next day I was like, you know what Zac, we got a mega bed. You were right. We mega Beded... mega bed changed my life.

Mike Vrabel breaking up fights is a culture changer for the Browns

Mike Vrabel has broken up a fight at training camp. I love this. Yeah. So Vrabel broke up another fight. Dove in... I love that vrs is doing this... that's culture. That's a culture changer.

Sports fans will eventually be forced back to cable bundles due to the high cost of streaming

It sucks what they're doing to us as sports fans overall. Where we have to have every subscription, a million different channels... I think the government is gonna try to break 'em up... No, we're going back to cable. Yeah. We have to go back to cable. Yeah. They're gonna bundle 'em.

The Stanley Cup tumbler craze is overhyped because it is just a cup

We're gonna take Stanley cups, drinkware, the big fucking Stanley Cups that everyone goes crazy about. All the women love it. Don't understand the hypes... It's literally just a cup... they're almost like beanie babies, like the newer version of Beanie Babies where people collect different colors.

Soccer is the most boring popular sport in the world

Soccer? Don't under don't understand. It's the most popular sport in the world. Yep. By far. Yep. And I watch a game and it seems so fucking boring. Like I get the moment that you get the goal is very fun. But every other moment in between it is like, when are they gonna fucking do something?

Taylor Swift Easter Eggs are stupid and overhyped

We're gonna take Taylor Swift Easter Eggs. Not Taylor Swift. The music, we understand the music... I, for the life of me do not understand when Taylor Swift just like matches a couple numbers... and everyone fucking goes full investigative journalism mode... it's fucking stupid.

The Mona Lisa is an ugly, shitty, overhyped painting

We don't understand the hype of the Mona Lisa whatsoever. It's a fucking chick. And she's ugly. I don't get it... It's a fucking painting. It's so dumb. It's so hyped... It's a shitty painting. If you put that up in my house, it'd be like, take it down. She's ugly.

The hype around being an adult is unmerited; everyone rushes to grow up for no reason

Being an adult, I don't understand the hype on like being an adult. Everyone. You're as growing up. Everyone was like, I can't wait to get older, get older, get older. And I'm like, why are we rushing these things?... I don't get the hype on everyone wanting to age so quickly... I just, not all the aspects are the best.

AI is overhyped and will likely ruin everyone's life

I don't get the hype on ai. I feel like at best it's gonna just like, ruin everyone's life. Except for like a few people who will make all the money... I don't get why anyone is like pro ai... this could be really bad for everyone.

Joe Burrow will win the NFL MVP this season

NFL MVP this year... I just love Joe Burrow... This guy's close to winning a Triple Crown man past completion, percentage yards, touchdowns. And he gets outta trouble. He is tough as hell and he's such a cool guy, man. If they get a good defense, I'm not saying great if they get a good defense and get off to a good start... look out for Burrow into Bengals.

The Carolina Panthers are a team on the rise in 2025

A team on the rise I think is Carolina... I we're pounding the drum beat Bryce Young... And I did not know I liked him as much as I did. And when you look at his last three or four games, five games, it was impressive. Yeah. I love the additions they've made to their team on defense.

The Rams are not a good team without Matthew Stafford

I saw the Rams without Stafford a couple years ago. They're last in the league on third down. They can't make a yard. Yeah. The Rams are not very good at all without Stafford. I mean, let's just face it, that guy's a hell of a talent throwing the ball... there's a step down, big step down if he's not there.

Caleb Williams must speed up his processing to succeed in the NFL

Caleb Williams... His deep ball accuracy, his overall accuracy was not good. Yeah. His accuracy was not good. Hi. The clock in his head has to speed up man. He held the ball too long at Oklahoma. He held it too long at Southern County. He's holding it too long now. How do you coach that hard? You know?

The Buccaneers will win the NFC South and reach the NFC Championship Game

I like the bucks to easily win the south. And I think they're going to the NFC championship game. Don't for, don't forget they kicked Philadelphia's ass last year... This is a good team. Four straight division titles they've won and I think they're gonna be better this year.

The Green Bay Packers will win the NFC this year

I love the Green Bay Packers man. I think they have a lot of depth... Aaron Rogers was 27 when he won his Super Bowl. Favre was 27 when he won his Super Bowl. Jordan loves 32. And my guy Jordan loves gonna be 27 in a couple weeks. I think they have the defense... I like the Packers man.

The Rams will be good this year if Matthew Stafford can stay healthy

I think the Rams are gonna be good this year if Matthew Stafford can stay healthy. But the junk science does make you a little nervous if you're a Rams fan.

I am officially becoming concerned about Matthew Stafford's availability

Sean McVay last year or last week, he said that Matt Stafford could play in a game if we had one this week. And then today, Sean McVay said, I don't know if Matt Stafford could play right now. So Matt Stafford might have gotten injured in the hypothetical game that he could have played last week. I'm thinking about becoming concerned about Matt Stafford.
