Joe Flacco stinks and the Ravens need to get him receivers

Joe Flacco. He stinks. They need to get him some receivers.

Flacco was benched later this season for Lamar Jackson as his performance continued to decline.

The excuse for Joe Flacco's entire career will be his lack of receivers

The Ravens just won't go out and get it [receiving help]. That's going to be the excuse for Joe Flacco for his entire career. Okay. Because he doesn't have receivers.

This remained the primary talking point among Flacco defenders until he left Baltimore and even through his later career resurgence in Cleveland.

Ohio State will kill TCU on Saturday night

Let's just say I think Ohio State's going to kill TCU on Saturday night.

Ohio State won 40-28. While a 12-point win is solid, it wasn't exactly 'killing' them as it was a competitive game for much of the night.

Texas will beat USC in their rematch

We think that Texas might actually beat USC. I think they will. This feels like Texas comes out and, hey, maybe they're not as bad as we thought they were.

Texas beat USC 37-14 on Sept 15, 2018.

The Lions have already quit on Matt Patricia

The Lions already quit on Matt Patricia. I think he's already lost the locker room. I'm going to go all the way there... They already hate Matt Patricia. They already hate that stupid backwards hat and the trash bag he wears.

Patricia's tenure was characterized by a massive rift between him and the players (like Darius Slay and Quandre Diggs), leading to his firing in 2020.

The Jets are overvalued after their Week 1 performance

Is this a major Ravens against the Bills situation where they're [the Jets] overvalued now? Correct. Well, guess what? I'm an idiot, and so actually all of my picks, I'm looking at them all right now, they're all basic picks.

The Jets lost to the Dolphins 20-12 in Week 2, proving they were indeed overvalued.

Eli Manning always plays well in Dallas

Doesn't it feel like every time that Eli [Manning] goes to Dallas... I feel like Eli Manning always plays well in Dallas, and I feel like the Sunday night game is when he has, like, the buzz, like, is Eli Manning? Is he back?

The Giants lost 20-13 to the Cowboys in that game and Eli had a mediocre performance (zero TDs, 1 fumble lost).

The Cleveland Browns will be a good spot once everything clicks

Once everything starts to click, that's going to be a good spot [Cleveland] because you look around that division... Baltimore's on the way down... Roethlisberger's got a couple years left... Cincinnati's always Cincinnati... Cleveland's going to be sitting there right at the right time to get good.

The Browns improved significantly over the next few seasons, making the playoffs in 2020 and remaining a contender, while the Steelers and Ravens entered transition periods (though both remained competitive).

Josh Allen has the best upside of the 2018 draft class

The best upside of the draft class is Josh Allen. [Big Cat: Josh Allen. Yeah, there we go.]

Josh Allen developed into an All-Pro and one of the league's best, easily outperforming Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Josh Rosen.

The 2018 Pittsburgh Steelers are a 'fucking mess'

The Steelers are a fucking mess. Le'Veon Bell. Antonio Brown. The fact that this is all happening within the first week or two, and they tied the Browns, and Big Ben is already injured, this team is a fucking mess.

The 2018 Steelers missed the playoffs, Bell sat out the whole season, and AB was traded after the season following a massive blowup.

NASA is only calling Pluto 'not a planet' to stay in the news

That was such a fucking classic. Is Pluto a planet? That was a classic NASA, like, we don't have enough shit to do, so we're going to make Pluto not a planet, and then in a few months we're going to be like, actually, just kidding, it is a planet... NASA likes to keep their name in the press.

Hot TakeMediaHotSarcastic
This is a satirical theory about scientific classification; there is no evidence NASA manipulates planetary status for PR.
