Takes
The Powerball drawing is rigged because of the delay and lack of a live stream
Powerball rigged. So Powerball rigged. That's very suspect. Biggest Powerball in history... They delayed the drawing because officials need more time to complete protocols and they didn't live stream it.
I bet Tua Tagovailoa to win the MVP at 16 to 1
I made another bet—Tua [Tagovailoa] to win the MVP 16 to one. What's gonna, if Josh—this is, it is also based like, I hope Josh Allen's not hurt, but if he is hurt, Tua feels like he's got a lot of, lot of like people feel bad about the concussions. He's gonna have some, a lot of numbers.
Connor McDavid is the most dominant pro athlete in the world right now
Conor McDavid is the best pro athlete right now... Conor McDavid dominates hockey more than any other athlete in the world dominates theirs.
Cale Makar will be the greatest defenseman of all time
Kale Makar is number two... Kale Makar is the Conor McDavid of defense. He almost might be more valuable according to Wayne Gretzky... [Nathan McKinnon] said that this will be the greatest defenseman of all time.
The Blackhawks will likely trade Patrick Kane this season
Is [Patrick] Kane gonna get traded? That's a tough one. I would say yes. And they made it sound like it would happen at some point during the year... They'd be probably smart to trade him.
The Buffalo Sabres are a legitimate up-and-coming team with elite young talent
Things are changing in Buffalo. And Jack Eichel... there was so much baggage and drama there. It ended. They got a couple really good players in for him. And they've taken off and they have the youngest team in the NHL, I would say they have like six legit studs that are under the age 24.
The Colorado Avalanche will repeat as Stanley Cup champions
I think the abs [Avalanche] unfortunately will probably beat the Oilers again in the Western Conference final. And I'm picking the abs to win again.
Alex Ovechkin will definitely break the NHL goal-scoring record
Is Ovie gonna get the record, just yes or no? Yes. Definitely yes.
Dan Campbell says 'man' at least a hundred times a day
[Dan Campbell] says [the word man] at least, when we're in the building players, at least a hundred. At least. I know I'm sure he does it a lot in his interviews, but man, man, man. No, he does it a lot. Probably at least a hundred.
Justin Fields is a tremendous player and is exceptionally fast
Justin Fields, man, he's fast. He's fast, man. 80 yards running's incredible. I will [text you], I think he's a tremendous player.
The Jets are very much for real
The Jets get their statement win... if they can win one or even two of these three games against the Patriots, Bills, Patriots, they would have to be considered very much for real. I'm ready to consider them very much for real. Their defense is really, really fucking good.
The Vikings are the worst 7-1 team of all time
I think [the Vikings] might be the worst seven and one team of all time... we know that the Vikings are a good team, we know they're fine, but like Kirk Cousins, it's gonna be very difficult for us to ever fully buy in.
I will get Kirk Cousins' face tattooed on my ass if the Vikings win the Super Bowl
I'm gonna get Kirk Cousins' face tattoo on my ass if they win the Super Bowl... I will do the, I was wrong tattoo. If they get to the Super Bowl... I'll also convert to whatever denomination of Christianity Kirk Cousins is.
The Titans just have the Chiefs' number in the regular season
Chiefs Titans are win this game. Chief suck. Chief suck. Titans just have their number every regular season. They have their number.
Ayahuasca has given Aaron Rodgers too much perspective to be a successful quarterback
I think there are certain jobs that you should not want to have a lot of perspective if you're performing them... he says how like he's gained a lot of perspective how this year it's like, it's, it's great to see the people that I get to go to work with... If you're an NFL quarterback... you should probably be a perspectiveless psycho.
Georgia could beat the Green Bay Packers
I think it is time that we ask the question, could Georgia beat the Green Bay Packers? I think that they could hold the Packers to under 30 points. Aaron Rodgers wouldn't throw for 300 yards against them.
Justin Fields is officially the guy
I'm still, I'm still in. Just like, [Fields] is the guy. He is the guy. He's making throws... he is everything I've ever wanted... I'm on cloud nine. I'm excited for Bears games.
Justin Fields' current usage is gimmicky and not sustainable in the NFL
Do you think that the usage of Justin Fields is gimmicky or sustainable?... the way he runs is not like Lamar Jackson. It's not as elusive... he takes more impacts. He's a larger body... down the stretch we saw [Cam Newton] wasn't sustainable.
Frank Reich needs to be fired
Frank Reich needs to be fired. It's crazy that he fired the OC. He then benched Matt Ryan... everyone else is the problem except me... that was one of the worst offensive games. Everything about them is bad. They have to fire everyone.
Josh McDaniels, Cliff Kingsbury, or Frank Reich will be fired before the end of the season
Who gets fired first? There's actually three guys that can get fired at this point... It's Josh McDaniels, Cliff Kingsbury and Frank Reich. No way do all three of those guys make it to the end of the season.
The Falcons might have missed their window to win the NFC South
The concern I have as somebody that does have a future on the Falcons who win that division is we looked ahead at their schedule and... their schedule might be hardening in front of a very eyes. It is. It's getting harder... I'm agreeing that this might have been the moment and the moment might have passed.
The Patriots would have been better off keeping Josh McDaniels
The Raiders would've be better off if they had just hired Rich Bisaccia and the Patriots would've been way better off if they had just somehow kept Josh McDaniels.
I'm not counting the Buccaneers' win over the Rams as a real win
I'm not counting this as a win even for the Bucks. I think that this... the Rams, they're just fucking idiots. The Rams are just fucking morons. Sean McVay has become a fucking idiot... [Brady] managed to squeak out a shitty win at the end of a shitty game against a shitty team.
LeBron James is lying about when he started listening to Migos
LeBron today wore an outfit... a reporter asked him... he said 'I love Migos. I've been listening to them since I was in Miami in 2010.' The Migos didn't start putting music out until 2011 and they weren't really popular until 2013... just no reason to lie whatsoever.
Dimitri Bivol might be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time
I think Bivol might end up being one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time in the world. Maybe in of all time... honestly, for his legacy, which he deserves, I think he needs to fight Canelo again at 168.
Joe Burrow is a lock to cover after losing to the Browns
Joe Burrow is four and oh against the spread after losing to the Browns. Cause he always loses the Browns. So he bounces back. So go go with Joe Burrow there. Trust in Joe.
The Phillies will beat the Astros 7-4 in Game 5 of the World Series
I do think that the Phillies come out and they win tonight. I think they mash again... I'm going with Philly's seven Astros four.
The Phillies will no-hit the Astros in Game 5 of the World Series
I'm gonna say Phillies five Astros zero. They get no hit. Yeah, I just, I reversed it. I reversed the no-hitter on their ass.
Dan Snyder is officially going to sell the Washington Commanders
I've talked to enough people behind the scenes to know that Dan Snyder is in fact going to sell the Washington Commanders. Yesterday was no joke, the second best sports day of my entire life.
Max Duggan is one of the best players in college football right now
I think now [Max Duggan] is really developed into into a great quarterback. And I think one of the guys that's probably playing as well as anybody in college football right now.
Aaron Rodgers is legitimately bad right now and it is not a fluke
I think that this is like, it's not a fluke that [Aaron Rogers] sucks right now. If he wants to, this is a perfect excuse for him. Just be like, 'Yeah, my thumb is extreme. The doctor said that he is never seen a worse thumb than mine.'
Never bet on Tom Brady in a night game
The Tom Brady day verse night thing is very real and he is old. And so since he's gone to the Bucs, he's 22 and 12 against the spread at daytime and he's two and 11 against the spread at nighttime. So we gotta just make sure we never bet on Tom Brady at night again.
The next big football innovation is Triple Option integrated into the Spread
I think you're gonna start maybe seeing some teams start to run a little bit more triple option... get integrated in some of the spread things, you know, a little bit of veer concept as a run game into into a spread type of offense. You talk about a pain in the rear end defensively, that would be a tough thing to defend.
Teams that play the Panthers lose their following game
Do you know that teams that play the Panthers the next week, they're 0-7. Every team that's played the Panthers the following week, they lose their next game... You either you get beaten up by them and you're still sore going to the next game or they're just so bad that you think that this is what NFL football is like.
Sam Ehlinger is a gamer like Taylor Heinicke and looked amazing on tape
I actually watched his tape from Sam Ehlinger like play by play every snap he took and he looked amazing... He's a gamer bro. He's like what you think [Taylor] Heinicke is.
Rob Gronkowski was the most dominant college player ever
[Rob Gronkowski] was just the most dominant college football player that I'd ever been around... I remember thinking, you know, he's gonna go some to some NFL team. If he can stay healthy, he's gonna have a hell of a career. And he even surpassed my expectations.
The Seahawks will beat the Cardinals because Arizona sucks
Seahawks plus two against Cardinals. I hate the Cardinals. Seahawks win.
Kliff Kingsbury is officially a dead man walking at Arizona
It's so clear that Kliff Kingsbury's getting fired. I mean, the minute that Kyler Murray yelled at him on the sideline, like, I don't know. That's, I know they'll say like, 'Oh that's just football. We're just angry.'... Doesn't feel that way.
The Jets will cover the +12.5 point spread against the Bills because their defense is talented
I have the Jets actually... 12 and a half. I just think this game is gonna look a lot like think, think about what happened last week with the Cowboys and the Bears... I think that the Jets defense is really, really talented. Especially, I think they can get their front four can get to Josh Allen a little bit. Heat him up just a little.
Zach Wilson is 'overqualified' for the NFL and that's why he struggles
The guy is so capable of throwing absolute bombs and dimes that when he can't and has to make the start decision and not make a gigantic play... he's just so good... he's overqualified for his job. Seriously. It's like, it's like he's so talented that he doesn't like other, I got it. Like people with less talented arms work on being game managers.
Lance McCullers Jr. was tipping his pitches against the Phillies
Lance McCullers was tipping all of his pitches tonight. And you saw it from the start. Like Bryce [Harper], when he went yard, he told everybody in the Phillies dugout, he's like, This guy's tipping his pitches. A bunch of stuff went viral online where you could see like the high leg kick. You could see the back leg being straight and the Phillies hit all their home runs off sinkers curves, changeups things like that.
The Dolphins, Ravens, and 49ers are now officially 'all in' for the 2022 season
The Miami Dolphins have joined the ranks of the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers... I'm gonna say that those three teams especially are all in right now.
Jeff Wilson Jr. is the sneaky best move of the NFL trade deadline
I actually think Jeff Wilson is like the sneaky best move of the day because you have a running back who knows the Shanahan system who can now run Mike McDaniel's system. Like that was, that's one of those ones where it just, it's under the radar because there are bigger names.
The Broncos have officially surrendered on the Russell Wilson era and are in rebuild mode
The Broncos like match being Russ Wilson. Like, they basically were like, fuck this. We're we suck... we have such regret on everything that took place that we need to get picks back as fast as possible.
Justin Fields is officially the guy for the Chicago Bears
The argument that everyone made in the off season that the Bears were ruining Justin Fields by not getting him anyone. You can't then complain that they went and got [Chase Claypool]. I got my guy, I'm feeling confident about having my guy. I have, I have a guy. He is the guy... he's officially the guy. Build around Justin Fields. Everything else doesn't matter.
Justin Fields might still fail in Chicago because the Bears organization is capable of ruining him
Justin Fields might not pan out because the Bears might ruin him, but he is the guy... I believe I told myself me and my guy are gonna live forever.
The Brooklyn Nets are fundamentally unfixable, even with Ime Udoka
I don't think you get to worry about the Nets. And I know that what a sucks that Ime's gone because he is a very good coach. But the Nets are not, I actually do not think they're fixable. I really don't.
The 2022 Tennessee Volunteers are identical to 2019 LSU
I think that this Tennessee team is extremely close, if not almost identical to the LSU team in 2019. So far... they're comparing favorably and I think the comparisons are there for Hendon Hooker and Joe Burrow too. Both super old guys that stuck around.
LSU is the greatest college football team of all time
I mean [2019 LSU] were probably the best college football team of all time. Yeah. Yeah.
Kirk Cousins and the Vikings will not win the Super Bowl
I'm not going back. I've been on this take. They're not winning the Super Bowl. We will be right. I've been on this take for six years. My take on Kirk Cousins has not wavered and it never will.
