1. Im in love with John’s rant on Lamar because its how I feel and i feel like no one else gets annoyed by the lamar sympathizers

2. People do not actually know Josh Allens stats. For QBs under 30, he has multiple NFL all time records. SB or not, he will be a first ballot HOF when he retires without question.

3. While the Bengals have awesome offensive personnel the organization, i.e. the ownership is notoriously cheap and is always considered a bad place to work. ThThis was the case with the Lions until Martha Ford stepped down and boom they are now an up and coming organization with a chance at a Superbowl the year. One example I heard from an interview with a former Lions player was that Martha Ford made all the players leave when they were taking pictures for the organization. Like she couldn't be around them. Ownership matters and the Bengals job looks good on paper until you factor in the ownership.

4. Lamar beats good teams constantly.. 49ers? Lions? Buccaneers? Bills? Bengals in a shootout twice?

5. John is making lunch great again with these drop times

6. Bill to Bengals would be SO AWESOME TO WATCH

7. “I won’t play back to backs”
   “Late to everything”

   That is completely nuts to me. 0 self awareness and leadership

8. Let's be honest, Josh Allen should have won MVP last year… Lamar does try to prove he can throw against Mahomes and go toe to toe with him and he forgets to play his game. If they don't win it this year, the Ravens should fire Harbaugh. No QB/HC duo has won a SB if they don't win it in their first 5 years together.

9. It’s straight tragic watching Burrow do superhero shit every week and still losing. Belichick would have that defense in a way better place. I don’t think Zac Taylor is a “bad” coach per se, it he’s clearly not able to elevate that flawed team, and the bengals need an above replacement-level guy

10. If stefanski gets fired I’d put top dollar on him being one of if not the first coach to get a new job

11. Thank God he said something about these Lamar riders gosh it’s getting outta control

12. I live in Philly and I know you are very familiar with Philly having spent time here working with the Eagles, Joel Embiid has never taken care of himself and has been an out of shape diva his entire career and people just defended it because they were desperate for a star. Joel Embiid never would go down low into the paint, he is a pick and pop player who is ALWAYS out of shape.
    LeBron making super teams and not working on improving his game and acting entitled and above the game really did filter down to all these guys. LeBron is drunk on steroids that’s how he is doing this still. LeBron has never worked hard to expand his game it’s why he has not won more. Now you have his ass son in the league. The NBA is basically WWE, but you don’t have to be able to wrestle or entertain the fans.
    Causing WWE they are competitive to have the most entertaining match for the fans and you have to actually be able to wrestle.
    But Embiid is a symptom of the modern NBA. He’s not serious, he is an immature man like all these coddled guys are, totally entitled – it’s why the fans have abandoned the NBA because the NBA has abandoned the fans. The NBA now functions for man baby divas not basketball fans. These guys act like social media influencers that are put upon if you ask them to actually play basketball and try.

13. The conversation isn't polarizing. You all continue to suck Josh Allen's socks. And LJ has had a better career.

14. Yeah, that team in buffalo that Lamar and the ravens beat the piss out of this season, or both games against Joe burrow who gets every excuse under the sun, wasn’t a real team I guess

15. Its an interesting theory, but really stupid in reality. You really think cheap ass Mike Brown would pay Bill the exorbitant salary that he demands/commands?!?! No way he would!!

16. Don’t talk hoops if you barely watch the league. To call Embiid one of the most overrated players in the history of the NBA is insane. You wanna say the dude chokes. He can’t stay healthy. He is lazy. All fine. Dude won an MVP (whether u agree or not) and at his peak was averaging more than a point a minute for a season

17. league better not let that happen, Belichick paired with Burrow will be a dynasty. Joe will be putting up LSU numbers at the NFL level, and Belichick will have another dynasty.

18. The last team to go to 3 straight Super Bowls were the Patriots against the Falcons, Eagles and Rams, winning 2 of those and losing against Foles because BB's defense went to sleep and wasted the best statistical SB by a QB.

19. Am the same – whatever it is I have to be on time, massive thing for me. Weird thing is the rest of my family are almost always guaranteed to be late (as is my best pal).

20. my dad always said…if you're early you're on time, if you're on time your late, and if you're late you're fired

21. Regsrding the steelers hard to call them a good team when they lost at-home to the cowboys

22. Remember last year at this time no one had Penix,McCarthy and Nix going in round one. QBs will always get pushed up.

23. Comparing Nba players to Nfl player when it comes to "choking' in the playoffs is such an ignorant take lol. Football is a 1 one and done and basketball is a 7 game series.

24. I don't care for hatless John.

25. The Cowboys better offer him $12-15 million per. No established coach is taking that job.

26. The stocks of Carson Wentz and Jimmy Garoppolo are really low right now, but I could see both of them getting a job as a one year bridge guy for a team that drafts a raw QB prospect in the 3rd or 4th round.

27. The Bengals aren’t paying that Belicheck contract lol

28. No days wasted better work John! 37:00

29. Mahomes beats everyone in January lol

30. Best Josh>Lamar take I’ve heard!!❤❤

31. Idk why people act like this guy is awesome hes ok at best lol not even close to colin

32. Draft Travis Hunter and play him as a Wide out and if the defense has an injury at the Corner position then you play him

33. John keeps bringing up that Trevor is constantly hurt, meanwhile he’s started 59/62 games in 3.5 years. Compare that to Burrow who started 52 games in his first four years

34. Bill is the right man for the job. Gets to coach the closest guy to Brady

35. Burrow's Defense picks off Mahomes in OT and Burrow is considered clutch and Allen Loses the toss and is a bum… Come on… Teams win QBs help. Allen is a great QB! Lamar has lost games when Allen's team has let them down… Love them both and they are amazing but Allen has to do it all and Lamer just doesn't play well in tight spots… Burrow won cause the defense was clutch more than Burrow took games over in the end… Allen is great.

36. Hands down the best sports videos out there

37. It’s about time my broncos get a little love. It’s been a long 9 years so I get being left in the basement but I can confidently say the future is bright.
