Sam Bankman-Fried is the latest Bernie Madoff

My hot seat is crypto in general. Sam Bankman-Fried from FTX is the latest Bernie Madoff right now. It's been in the news. He had I think about $40 billion and now he has $0 because his entire platform went bankrupt.

The Marcus Jordan and Larsa Pippen relationship is MJ's final revenge on Scottie Pippen

I just imagined MJ being like, did you hear all that shit about Scottie saying that LeBron's better than me? Go hit up Larsa. Yeah, let's, let's start this relationship Dogs. That's tough.

Trent Williams is tipping 49ers plays based on his pre-snap stance

Trent Williams, a tackle on the 49ers apparently might be tipping Pass or run plays by his stances. Some of the difficulties in the running game with Deebo Samuel specifically might be because of Trent Williams tipping off plays with his stance. Shout out that Twitter user, he went through the all 22 and found this tell.

Sean McVay is not leaving for TV and will return to coach the Rams next year

All the talk of him doing TV and all that shit, like he's in. This isn't how he's gonna be going down. He's at this crossroads of the season and his whole thing was like, I can't go out like this.

Tua Tagovailoa is a serious MVP candidate because voters are fatigued by Patrick Mahomes' greatness

I think they're all hungry for something new and a great new storyline. So I think Tua... they rally around it. Mahomes could conceivably win it every single year. And I don't think anyone would blink an eye. But people like new stories too.

I'm not done with the Bengals yet; they are a team no one will want to play in the playoffs

I'm not done with the Bengals. They're outta the playoff right now. I just think burrow's the real deal. And I think that team... they're coming out of [their bye]. I really do think that they're gonna be a team no one wants to play.

Justin Fields should be the #1 pick in a re-draft of the 2021 quarterback class

I think Fields is one. Fields is one, but solely cost... and they're finally building the offense around him obviously.

The best way to handle multiple ex-hookups trying to slide back in is to invite them all to the same birthday party

You just gotta invite 'em all and see who hangs around the longest. It's kinda like in the reunion episodes of Love is Blind when they just get everybody in a bar together and get 'em drunk. They all just start fighting and one person will eventually go home with a person.

Justin Jefferson is the best receiver in the NFL

Justin Jefferson is the best receiver in the NFL and, and I'm confident in saying that what he did in that game, the catches he made, the fourth down catch he made was one of the craziest catches I've ever seen.

The new "Moneyball" is pairing fast wide receivers with quarterbacks who only have 95% arm strength

I think that's what Mike McDaniel learned. He's like, we can absolutely hack the rule book if you just run faster than everyone and then probably maybe get underthrown just a little bit... and then you start working your way back to the ball you get interfered with. I'm just saying... that is the new Moneyball. It's just fast, fast wide receivers with like 95% arm strength quarterbacks.

The Vikings aren't total frauds, but they are "fraudulent adjacent"

I don't believe that the Vikings are complete and total frauds. I think that they're partially frauds. They're fraudulent adjacent. I am worried that they would get to the NFC championship game... because the way the NFC is shaking out, it feels like if the Vikings will get that second seed and whoever is the seven seed is going to be a team that we think about as like, 'ooh, watch out for them.'

The Vikings will win at least one playoff game this season

The Vikings will probably win a playoff game and we, we will get nervous at that point. I'm worried about the Vikings because they will have home, home field advantage to the NFC. They will probably win a playoff game.

Making mistakes is just part of the Josh Allen experience and you have to let him play freely

That's just the Josh Allen experience because what he does well, you have to let him play freely. I as, as bad as those look, I do believe in... you take the good with the bad and sometimes there are some bad throws, but that's just how he play. Like you can't, you can't put him in a box. If he stopped, if he stopped playing recklessly, it would, I mean it would take away all the joy of watching Josh.

The Buccaneers will win 10 games and host a home playoff game

The Bucks now have everything in front of them where if they don't totally fuck up, we're gonna be sitting here. They're gonna have a home playoff game in January. [Based on their schedule] They're a 10 win team.

The Chargers' powder blue uniforms might be "candy ass" and not conducive to winning

I have an unpopular take about them [the Chargers]. I love their uniforms. I do. I don't know if their uniforms are actually conducive to winning though. They might be candy ass. I love them... but I, I remember a study was done a long time ago that showed that teams that had like aggressive color schemes tend to win on average more than teams that didn't.

Justin Fields is not a fluke and is officially the guy for the Bears

Justin Fields has been looking phenomenal. He looked phenomenal again today... It's not a fluke. It's becoming, this is what he is. I can't wait to see some more top end talent around him because he is kind of carrying everything right now.

Kadarius Toney will eventually become a major weapon in Andy Reid's shovel pass game

You can already tell Andy Reid is just so happy to have a new toy... once he fits in to that certain degree, then like you see Travis Kelce, like Tyreek Hill was getting all those different iterations of the inside shovel pass around the goal line. That's gonna be once you know, that's when it's real between Andy and Toney.

The Saints should stop starting Andy Dalton and play Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill instead

I'm so sick of watching Andy Dalton. You have a bad football team, you are two and six. There is nothing going on with this season. Why aren't you? At least you have option one. Taysom Hill. Fun. Option two, figure out if Jameis Winston could be the future. Let him play. You know who's not the future? Very nice guy, Andy Dalton.

If the Saints have to start Andy Dalton in primetime, I'm going to jump in front of a bus

I gotta keep my composure cuz again, I'm going... if I have to watch Andy Dalton in primetime, I'm gonna jump in front of a bus. I I will watch a bus... what you getting run over by a bus? Yeah. Yeah. For, for pmt views.

The Giants will win 10 or 11 games and make the playoffs

The Giants are seven and two. I looked at their schedule. I think they're gonna win 10 games, maybe even 11. Like when you're seven and two, you're this we're we're almost at Thanksgiving. It would take a lot of fuck ups to not make the playoffs at this point.

If Tua wins a Super Bowl, he will be the greatest Dolphins quarterback ever just because it would piss off Dan Marino

I'm rooting for Tua more than anything to win a Super Bowl because it would really piss Dan Marino off. He would instantly become the best quarterback in the history of the Miami Dolphins. Easily over Dan Marino. He's a two. Dan Marino's a one [in our wins-based rating system].

The Dolphins have a master caution light blinking regarding their kicker

This is their blinking light that, that we're not making a big deal about right now. It's like a master caution light is going off in the corner. It's gonna create problems for you down the road when you're playing in serious games that matter. Because that guy [Jason Sanders] stinks.

Russell Wilson would be the worst quarterback in the NFL to take drugs with

I actually think that Russell Wilson would be the worst quarterback in the NFL to take drugs with. Oh my God, any drug doesn't matter. Like, can you imagine Russell Wilson on cocaine? How fucking annoying he would be... He would two seconds in be like, Do you guys feel it?

Josh McDaniels is the worst coach in the NFL

And then he's just been objectively by the numbers terrible. 7-24 [as a head coach]. The worst coach in the nfl. So very bad coach. McDaniels bad coach.

Derek Carr will eventually leave the Raiders for a new team and find success like Matthew Stafford

I wouldn't hate seeing Derek Carr in a year or two getting one of those like Matthew Stafford... getting a team. I, I've reached the point where I, I honestly do feel bad for Derek Carr... anywhere except for there. Like just get him out. He seems like a genuine guy. People like him.

Colt McCoy is a top-tier backup quarterback for mid-season starts

Colt McCoy is definitely in the top level of backups in the NFL. Colt McCoy is the best quarterback to have come in a game in the middle of November and do a surprise start and win you a game out of nowhere. That's his job as a backup. And he does it well every single year.

The Rams are officially cooked

The Rams are officially cooked. I'm calling them cooked. They're done. I don't, we haven't done done chain in a while, but they're done. Yeah. They're, yeah. I'm, I'm confident in putting the done chain on them.

The Packers are off the mat and will go on a run

The Packers are now officially off the mat. Yeah. We we told you that Aaron Rogers... and now I'm very nervous that they're off the mat, gonna turn a corner, all that shit. Fully expecting the Packers to go on a run now.

I have zero faith in Dak Prescott to win a big game

I also just, I don't know if, and this game wasn't on Dak, I just don't, I I don't have like a ton of faith in Dak as a big, Do you have a ton of faith in Dak as a big time quarter? Like win a big game guy? I do not have a ton of faith in Dak.

Hammer the over in the first game. Toledo plays up and down UAB Jelly Walker, we talked about it.

I think the Falcons are going to win 28 to 17. And I think that, you know, the Falcons will end this weekend in first place of the NFC South.

The Texans won't lose to the Giants by more than 10 points

I don't think the Giants are a team that beats teams by more than, you know, a field goal. ... I don't think that the Texans lose by more than 10 points ever. ... they lost by 11 to the Eagles, but that was covering, I'm counting that as less than 10. I feel like the Texans are a chippy team. The Giants are, they're probably gonna win this game by like four points.

Mike McCarthy is a worse coach when he has extra time to prepare

I wonder what his [Mike McCarthy's] stats are like off of bye week. ... I feel like if you give him too much time to cook something up, he really gets in his own head. He starts breaking out all the tricks, but not the good tricks. ... Mike McCarthy is a great head coach when he's trying medium. ... When he's really dialed in... it will be detrimental to everything you want to do.

I'm hammering the Bucs against the Seahawks because of their defense

I'm going with the Bucs. ... The Bucs. It's not never a bet on Tom Brady. The relapsing, It's a bet on their defense. I still think their defense is very good. I think their defense gives the Seahawks a lot of problems.

There is an 80% chance the over hits in the Bills vs. Vikings game if Josh Allen plays

It's a mathematical almost certainty this hits, I put it at 80%. Wow. That the over hits. And here's why... if Josh Allen plays in this game over 44 is a guaranteed winner.

Austin Ekeler will score three touchdowns against the 49ers

I'm going to again say that Austin Ekeler is going triple dick. This shit out of him. The Niners are gonna be airtight triple dick. Let's go.

Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira could be one of the greatest fights ever if Adesanya is aggressive

Israel Adesanya... has never lost at 185 pounds, but as a kickboxer he lost twice to this man [Alex Pereira] and once was knocked out rather violently. ... If he approaches this with a more aggressive tenor, this could be one of the greatest fights of all time.

Mac Jones is definitively not the guy to lead the Patriots long-term

I would put a tattoo bet on it right now that [Mac Jones] is not gonna realize anything resembling long-term NFL success. ... everybody locally in Boston understands that he has a C arm at best. Like he's a good leader of men... but that only goes so far.

Lamar Jackson is better than Michael Vick

I don't need Michael Vick to tell me that this dude [Lamar Jackson] is gonna be better than Michael Vick. And was there no room for improvement for Lamar once he got to the league? Like how did so many teams fucking miss on that?

Patty Pimblett must change his lifestyle to reach the top 10

I think the question for me is, is he [Patty Pimblett] gonna adopt the championship lifestyle 24/7/365 that will allow him... you can't eat after. ... it's not sustainable. ... eventually to realize top 10 type success in what is our toughest, deepest division, he's gonna have to make some lifestyle changes.

The betting line for Molly McCann vs. Erin Blanchfield is out of whack

I will though just say that the Molly McCann price to me seems out of whack. Erin Blanchfield's a great grappler but minus 400 given what Molly has done of late, that surprises me.

Lamar Jackson is the clear pick among his draft class's quarterbacks

Lamar Jackson, like, did he not pass the eye test for you guys at Louisville? ... he was one of the best college quarterbacks I've ever seen. ... if he actually hits free agency... every team should be knocking down the door outside of like, you know, the Bills and the Chiefs to try to get Lamar Jackson.

I bet on the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl at 13 to 1

I have made a wager on the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl at 13 to one... Everyone's like, Oh, you know, no one's gonna be able to keep up with the bills and the chief's offense. Why not defense? Why aren't we looking for defense?

Lamar Jackson will pull a 'Joe Flacco' and win the Super Bowl in a contract year

Wouldn't that be so Ravens too? I was about to say for Lamar [Jackson] to win the Super Bowl in a contract year... And they have to pay him the Flacco. That would be, he would pull a full Flacco on you.

Carson Wentz was not the problem in Indianapolis; it was everyone else

I think I actually take Carson Wentz's side in the breakup. Because like they remember how much they bashed him and were like, he's not a leader. He's the reason we lost the Jags. Now that we've moved away from it, you know, eight months and we've seen some more stuff. I think Carson Wentz was not the problem. It was just all the other guys.

Sam Ehlinger is a 'coach killer' because Frank Reich was fired shortly after he was named the starter

Is Sam Ehlinger a coach killer? So he steps in and then immediately like two weeks later, boom, Frank Reich's fired. A lot of people are saying it. I just wanted to give a platform to it.

If Jeff Saturday goes 4-4 for the rest of the season, he will likely get the full-time head coaching job

If Jeff Saturday does even a halfway good job with the Colts for the rest—if there's eight games left in the Colts season, I think if he goes four and four he probably gets the job. He cut the line.

The Colts hired Jeff Saturday as bait to eventually lure Peyton Manning to be the GM

My conspiracy theory says that they hired Jeff Saturday because they want to hire Peyton Manning to run the team to do a GM in the future... Now Jeff Saturday is a real life puppet of Peyton Manning as the head coach just to bring the rest of Peyton Manning's body from the wrist all the way back to be the, to be the general manager.

Brian Kelly will create an LSU program that consistently beats Alabama

This now feels like it could be Brian Kelly could create a team at LSU that consistently can beat Alabama. Not one year where you have the like this incredible, incredible team and talent. It's no, every year LSU should be able to compete with Bama.

Washington will beat Oregon this weekend

I think that Washington was gonna beat Oregon this weekend though. Washington has not been good... I think they're gonna beat Oregon this weekend.
