Under the NFL's new overtime rules, you should choose to kick if you win the coin toss.

Now we're gonna have to recalibrate because you win the coin toss. You don't want the ball first. Correct? 'cause then you want to know if you need to go for two on a touchdown.

Strategically, many analytics experts agree that knowing what you need (FG or TD) and having the ability to go for two to win makes the second possession superior.

The NFL will eventually ban the Tush Push.

It's gaining momentum though. That's the problem is now they're up to 16 teams that voted to ban it... I I feel like at some point it's gonna be banned.

The NFL did not ban the tush push for the 2024 season, though the debate continues annually.

Deshaun Watson will start fewer than two more games in his NFL career.

So is Deshaun Watson over under starts Deshaun Watson has the NFL for the rest of his career. Three and a half. I was gonna say one and a half. Maybe like a random.

As of the 2024 season, Watson is still starting for the Browns, though performance and injuries remain issues.

Buzz Williams moving to Maryland is a smart move to reset his coaching clock.

So this move, I believe was a smart move by Buzz in the fact that the SEC has gotten a lot better. He has kind of maxed out what he's got at Texas A&M... So why not move and reset the clock? Pretty good. Yeah. Also like you're basically resetting the clock with a new fan base who is hungry for someone to say I love you.

Buzz Williams did not actually leave Texas A&M for Maryland; this was part of the episode's April Fools news segments.

Maryland basketball is currently a stepping stone job.

And here's what sucks for Maryland is that Maryland should not be a stepping stone job. No. Maryland should be a job that a guy should want to stay at for a long time. But as of right now, guess what the reality is? It's a stepping stone job.

This is a subjective evaluation of a program's prestige.

Pardon My Take will end in 21 years.

I'm gonna retire in 20 years. 20. You have 20 years of Pardon? My Take left... I kinda like walking away in 21 years... 30 total.

Only time will tell if PFT sticks to this 21-year timeline.

Auburn felt like a special team early in the season after competing physically with Houston.

We had to play an an incredibly well coached, hard playing Houston team where we were gonna find out whether we were gonna be physical and tough enough... once we were able to beat Houston or at least be on compete with 'em, we felt like this team had a chance to be pretty special.

Auburn did indeed have a successful 2024-25 season, making a deep tournament run as Bruce Pearl predicted.

I believe I can win the Masters.

I think so. I mean, last week was a very big turning moment for me... Right now, I mean, sky's the limit. I feel good and I like the course. I've got the record for the front nine. I just need the record for the back nine, and hopefully we can put it all together. I feel very good.

The 2025 Masters results will determine the outcome of this take.

I am officially betting on Min Woo Lee at the Masters.

I think I'm gonna bet, bet on you at the masters. I think, I think I'm now in the Wu-Tang clan. I feel like I gotta back you because you hit the ball a mile, which I love. You got the mullet, you got the mustache, you're Australian... just know that.

Depends on whether Min Woo Lee wins or places high enough for the bet to cover.
