The Green Bay Packers are dead

Today is Friday, November 16th, and the Green Bay Packers are dead. They are. The Packers gave it their all. They really tried hard, but to fall short and to punt fourth and two with three and a half minutes left... I just do not understand that ever.

The Packers finished 6-9-1 and missed the playoffs. Mike McCarthy was fired shortly after.

Aaron Rodgers has lost his magic

I think it's time for us to put the done shit on them. I think they're done. I think the magic has gone away from Aaron Rodgers. Listen. I think the pendulum has swung.

While Rodgers had a down year in 2018, he went on to win MVPs in 2020 and 2021, proving his 'magic' was not gone.

Aaron Rodgers is passionless and nonchalant about his throws

Aaron Rodgers is an exceptional talent... But doesn't it feel like he is very nonchalant about a lot of his throws? He does the flick the wrist thing. And he can do it better than anyone, and it feels like he just is very nonchalant about a lot of his throws.

Body language is subjective, but Rodgers' performance remained elite for years after this.

Todd Bowles will get fired

I'm doing some PFT premonitions here... Here's what's going to happen. Todd Bowles is going to get fired. No, that's not it. That was in the front of my neck. That was my Adam's apple.

Todd Bowles was fired by the Jets on December 30, 2018.

The NFC Wild Card round will feature Kirk Cousins vs. the Redskins

My actual premonition, first round of the playoffs, is going to be Kirk Cousins' revenge game against the W-Word Redskins. I'm saying the NFC Wild Card... Vikings are going to win the Wild Card. Oh, and the Redskins are going to win the East.

The Redskins went 7-9 and missed the playoffs. The Vikings also missed the playoffs at 8-7-1. Neither predicted outcome happened.

The Patrick Mahomes ketchup-shaming in the media is a Chicago conspiracy

I think that this is something that's been planted... by you Chicago elitist types who hate ketchup, and you are dead set on finding something wrong with Pat Mahomes so that you can be like, actually, Mitch is better.

This is a satirical conspiracy theory that cannot be factually proven, though it highlights the real Mahomes/Trubisky draft debate of 2018.

The Cowboys-Falcons loser is eliminated from the playoffs

Loser leaves town... Cowboys-Falcons. That's the game. The loser of that game will officially be eliminated, similar to the Seahawks-Packers game.

The Falcons lost and finished 7-9, missing the playoffs. The Cowboys won and made the playoffs. The take was correct for the loser.

The Cowboys will give their fans just enough hope to break their hearts

The Cowboys can't go out in a normal way. They can't lose and not make the playoffs by just being bad. They have to do it in a heartbreaking way. So we have not heard the last of the Cowboys this season.

The Cowboys won the division but lost in the Divisional Round to the Rams, arguably a standard 'heartbreaking' exit.

Never bet on the Oakland Raiders

Don't bet on the Raiders. Also, here's another tip. I bet on the Raiders like five times this year. They will find new ways to reach levels of incompetence that we have not seen in this country in the last 200 years.

OpinionFootballMediumSarcastic
The 2018 Raiders finished 4-12 and were one of the worst ATS (Against The Spread) teams that year.

Bol Bol will get injured this season because he is too tall

My sit-up is Bol Bol. This guy is way too fucking tall. There's no way he makes it this whole season without getting hurt... he wears short shorts, so it makes him look even taller.

Bol Bol suffered a foot injury in December 2018 after playing only 9 games, ending his season.

Kyle Shanahan's offensive installs are outrageous

Every install meeting that [Shanahan] does is absolutely outrageous... he explains it so fast. He'll go through 60 plays in about 15 minutes and then you guys got all that, and we're out on the field practicing.

Shanahan's complexity and offensive success are widely documented by players and analysts.

Pancaking a defender is better than catching a touchdown

If you can take a defensive end and bend him over backwards and put his back on the turf, that's one of the greatest feelings of all time.

This is a subjective preference of the athlete.

Nick Saban definitely uses the internet and is lying about it

I think he does have all those things... I just feel like that's a guy who has the internet who's ashamed of having the internet... he always says rat poison... how does he find this stuff out if he doesn't have the internet?

While Saban maintains he doesn't use it, it's widely believed his staff monitors it for him, making the 'no internet' claim a technicality at best.

Mike Wilbon thinks analytics have hijacked baseball

Wilbon... actually thinks that we're under an analytics hijacking... Analytics have hijacked his sport, baseball. And he says that we've gone so far and we undervalue wins. He doesn't care about ERA... He cares about wins.

Wilbon did publicly state that wins should matter more and deGrom shouldn't have won.

If a podcast lasts seven years, it is Radio Hall of Fame worthy

If you do a podcast for more than seven [years]... the 95% of podcasts go for exactly one month and end. And then the other 5%, if you can get past seven years, then you're officially Radio Hall of Fame worthy.

This is a subjective standard for hall of fame worthiness.

Chinese food lacks cheese because of lactose sensitivity in Asia

I actually know the answer to this. Because Asian people, by and large, are more sensitive to lactose. So when they first opened up ice cream shops and stuff like that over in China, most people got sick and went out of business.

Lactose intolerance is significantly higher in East Asian populations, which historically limited dairy in those cuisines.
