I am the biggest Carson Wentz super fan in the world right now

I've reached this point in my bargaining stage where I think I'm the biggest Carson Wentz super fan in the world right now. I've had some time to think it through logically... Carson Wentz's ceiling is better than any quarterback in that division. Now, all we have to do is to get him to play at his ceiling on an average basis.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
Carson Wentz's tenure with the Commanders was widely considered a failure, and he was benched/released after one season.

Carson Wentz is the best quarterback in exactly 73-degree weather

The average temperature last September in Washington, DC was 73 degrees. No quarterback has performed better from a yards per attempt standpoint in exactly 73-degree weather than Carson Wentz. Top 50 quarterbacks yards per attempt and exactly 73-degree weather, he is number one, 9.71 yards per attempt.

The stat is likely a factually correct but irrelevant cherry-picked data point provided by a statistical analyst for comedic effect.

Duke will make a run in the NCAA tournament

I do think that Coach K is going to get the guys together and they're going to make a run in the tournament though. Next week's tournament. The real tournament. I think Duke's going to the Final Four.

Duke reached the Final Four in 2022, Coach K's final season, where they lost to North Carolina.

Malik Willis has the most fuckable spiral in the 2022 draft

Number one. Malik Willis. God damn moon bomb. And the thing is, I love how the ball turns over on his long balls. It points up when it's going up and when it's going down, it points down and it looks like an absolute cruise missile.

This is a subjective aesthetic judgment about the way a ball looks in the air.

Malik Willis is a combination of Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen

Malik Willis has been said to be, in my opinion, a combination of Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. This is what the people are saying. If you look at Malik's throws from the combine, insane, absolutely crazy type stuff.

Malik Willis struggled significantly in his early NFL appearances and was traded to the Packers as a backup, nowhere near the level of Jackson or Allen.

Don't play middle-of-the-pack SEC teams in the tournament

I'm just saying this. Look at some of the teams that finished in the middle of our league right now, some of the teams that are going to be seated anywhere from five to nine or 10... I'm just telling you, you do not want to play some of those teams in the NCAA tournament.

The 2022 tournament saw varied results for the SEC; Arkansas reached the Elite Eight, but high seeds like Kentucky and Tennessee were upset early.

Jabari Smith is the best jump shooter I have ever coached

Go ahead and doubt [Jabari Smith]. Good luck. I'm just telling you do not doubt that kid. He is one of the greatest competitors that I've ever coached. He's the best jump shooter I've ever coached, and that's actually at any position.

Jabari Smith was the #3 pick in the NBA draft and is known for his shooting ability, though 'best' is subjective.

4th and 1 decisions are no longer hard in the NFL

It became obvious your team just gets ready to play fourth and two or fourth and one. So there's no like, it's not like, 'Hey, you really risked it there.' If you don't go for it on fourth and one, that's what everybody's doing. So to me, those aren't the hard decisions anymore. It's just become the norm.

Statistical trends in the NFL confirm that 4th down attempts have significantly increased and normalized over the early 2020s.

Road House is the greatest movie ever

Road House, like you ever seen Road House? Greatest movie ever. All time. All time. There's so many good one-liners.

Movie quality is inherently subjective.

Moana is a legitimately incredible movie

That movie is awesome. I don't know if anyone's seen Moana with the Rock. It's a legitimately incredible movie. I'm at the point now where I'm like 'How about Moana?' and [my son's] like 'Nah, Mickey Mouse.'

This is a subjective opinion on a movie's quality.
