3X SB Champ Willie McGinest, Dungeons And Dragons And We Kill Billy

Wednesday, July 15, 202010 takes

These next 2 weeks all the sports are hanging in the balance. Madden ratings, bubble snitches, and hockey is doing a great job of telling us nothing. (-) Hot Seat/Cool Throne including plague squirrels and Will Smith's entanglement. (-) 3X Super Bowl Champion Willie McGinest joins the show to talk about Cam in New England, Culture change in locker rooms, and Brady on the Bucs. (-) We finish picking up on our Dungeons and Dragons adventure and Billy Football is in DEEP shit. (-)

The text exchange between 50 Cent and Will Smith about Jada's 'entanglement' was real

I would bet money that it was real... Because it's 50 Cent and he's absolutely reckless. He's reckless.

The screenshot was confirmed to be a photoshop/parody posted by 50 Cent for comedic effect, not a real private DM exchange.

If a bear can use nunchucks, a gorilla can fly a Black Hawk helicopter

It turns out that bears actually can use weapons... If a bear can pick up a nunchuck, a gorilla can pick up a fucking rocket launcher. A gorilla would be able to fly like a Black Hawk helicopter if a bear is able to use these martial art weapons.

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
While bears and primates can be trained to use simple tools, there is no evidence of a gorilla piloting aircraft.

George Kittle should call himself a quarterback on Twitter to cash in on Mahomes money

George Kittle has said he will go to training camp no matter what... He should just change his position in his Twitter profile... He should just call himself a quarterback. Try to cash in on this Patrick Mahomes money.

Kittle signed a 5-year, $75 million extension in August 2020, making him the highest-paid TE at the time, though still far below QB money.

The 2020 NFL season is definitely happening

All indications point that there is definitely going to be an NFL season, and we are preparing for that as the NFL... Everything that I'm told is that we are definitely having an NFL season.

The NFL season did proceed on schedule in September 2020.

Cam Newton will prove he's still an MVP with the Patriots

Cam now has a huge chip on his shoulder and he's in a position to go to a great organization and prove that he still can be Cam Newton, the MVP that we saw a couple of years ago... If he buys into [the Patriot Way], he can be a part of something really good.

Cam Newton struggled in 2020, throwing only 8 touchdowns to 10 interceptions as the Patriots missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

USC's standard should be winning National Championships, not just the Pac-12

It's not about the Pac-12. It's about national championships... Our goals is national championships. Um, and we, we can go ahead and take the Pac-12 along the way, but the echelon should be national championships all day, every day.

Since this take, USC has yet to win a National Championship (as of the end of the 2024 season).

The next two weeks are make-or-break for the return of sports

I feel like this next week and a half, two weeks, is going to be make or break for the next six months to a year. We have baseball hopefully starting next Thursday, basketball bubbles going, scrimmages about to start, hockey, and then training camp. If these can go off without a hitch, I think we're back.

Major sports leagues successfully returned in late July and August 2020 (the 'Bubble' era) and completed their seasons.

The Washington Redskins should change their name to the Red Wolves

The Redskins are changing their name, hopefully, to the Red Wolves. Dan Snyder, if you're listening, the Red Wolves is the way to go for this.

The team initially became the Washington Football Team and eventually the Washington Commanders. 'Red Wolves' was rejected, reportedly due to trademark issues.

Mitch Trubisky's 75 rating in Madden 21 is insane

Mitch Trubisky's a 75 in the new Madden. Insane. He was 79 last year. Goddamn.

Rating a player in a video game is subjective, but given Trubisky's performance in the 2020 season (he was eventually benched for Nick Foles), 75 was arguably generous.

Brooks Koepka will have a great Thursday and Friday at the Memorial Tournament

I think, not to put pressure on Brooks, but I expect it. A very good, very good Thursday and Friday from him. He rises up against those guys.

Koepka shot 72-75 (+3) on Thursday/Friday at the 2020 Memorial Tournament, barely making the cut. He finished T-62 for the tournament.
