NFL coaches who challenge pass interference are fucking morons

If you're a coach and you challenge pass interference you are a fucking moron. All that the rule has done is just figured out which coaches were dumb and it's given more time for advertisements for the NFL.

The rule was so poorly implemented and the overturn rate was so low that it was widely considered a failure and was removed after one season.

Daniel Jones is just a slightly shittier update of the Eli Manning model

Daniel Jones, who is he really is Eli Manning if Eli Manning like he just a little bit shittier version. They updated the model and he has the same type of fumbles interceptions. He can run a little bit.

Daniel Jones has continued to struggle with turnovers (fumbles and interceptions) throughout his career, mirroring Eli's career-long trend.

Daniel Jones needs a vice like smoking or video poker to improve his play

I think Daniel Jones biggest problem is I don't think he has a vice. I think he needs to maybe be a smoker or I don't know like video poker or something a gamer. Because it just feels like he's a little too plain. His vice is literally just throwing interceptions. So you need to shift that vice to something else.

This is a humorous character analysis that cannot be proven or disproven, though Jones has remained notoriously 'plain' in his public persona.

Pat Shurmur will be fired after this season

I feel like this is probably the he's gonna be done after this year. You have to move on and yeah Pat Shurmur... it's all kind of coming to a head.

Pat Shurmur was indeed fired by the Giants on December 30, 2019.

The Giants went 2-5 for the remainder of the 2019 season following the cat incident.

Anthony Davis will sign with the Bulls in free agency next year

Anthony Davis was at like a school speaking... and he called Chicago the mecca. And he said they asked about like him coming back to Chicago to play and he said I am a free agent next year, but we will see. Door is wide open. Those are just fans already sick LeBron. Those are just facts.

Anthony Davis signed a 5-year, $190 million contract extension with the Lakers in December 2020 and never joined the Bulls.

The word 'Boomer' has jumped the shark

Boomer just the word Boomer has invaded like meme and American culture to a point where like I'm sick of it. It's kind of jumped the shark a little bit. But now it's at one of those things where it's like so mainstream it's like harambee after like two months where I was funny in the beginning.

Memes by nature have short lifespans, and 'OK Boomer' did indeed fade from mainstream cultural relevance shortly after the 2019 peak.

Imagine Dragons music should be in the public domain

I think if it's Imagine Dragons Imagine Dragons should just be in the public domain there should not be the other attack. They got to protect their art like what those guys make beautiful beautiful art Imagine Dragons The Beatles Mozart and happy birthday.

This is a satirical suggestion and not a legal reality.

Angela Duckworth is just monetizing the fact that untalented people are too dumb to quit

I saw who wrote the study and it was Angela Duckworth Who is the lady that wrote the grit book. She is grit exploitation. She is the big grit industrial complex. Most of us out there learn to appreciate grit because we had to because we lack talent and sports... we're also dumb enough to not quit. So therefore that's a good quality and I'm going to call it grit and she comes along and she's trying to make money off it.

This is a philosophical critique of a psychological theory.

Coach K is not as good a head coach as Roy Williams

I think that Coach K is not as good a head coach as coach Williams has interesting. I think if you look at what Coach K's tenure at Duke... While Roy Williams has been at UNC by any measurement. You can say that Roy Williams has been more successful.

During the period from Roy Williams' arrival at UNC in 2003 until their retirements, Williams won 3 titles (2005, 2009, 2017) while Coach K won 2 (2010, 2015). This supports Big Cat's 'success' metric.

Tom Izzo is overrated because he hasn't won a title since 2000

Tom Izzo is overrated. That's because he's other... He just hasn't won the big one. This is coasting. He's coasting.

Izzo is a Hall of Famer with 8 Final Fours, but his only title remains in 2000. Fans who prioritize championships might agree, but most analysts consider him elite.

Mike Francesa definitely farted on air

This is well. There's a two parts that he definitely farted. Number one. That's not a question. He then also in like the last play he had he farted on Tuesday and announced his retirement on Wednesday. That's how quickly it happens.

The 'Francesa fart' remains one of the great internet debates of that era. Francesa denied it, but the audio is widely cited as proof.

Marc Trestman's start to his NFL coaching career was statistically better than Matt Nagy's

Through 23 games and their NFL career one coach has 7,472 yards of offense the Has 7,887 yards of offense... Congrats? You took Marc Trestman. One was Matt Nagy and the other was Marc Trestman. That's interesting.

Statistical comparison of the two coaches over their first 23 games shows Trestman had significantly higher offensive yardage and scoring totals.

If you are threatening to fight someone on Twitter, you must give your home address, not the team facility

My problem with what [Jermaine Whitehead] did. Not that he threatened people... My problem is he said meet me at this address and then gave the facility address. If you tell someone to meet you somewhere. It has to be your house, right? Man up.

NFL players can't just claim to have a broken hand on social media if it's not on the injury report

He's joking playing with a broken hand because that's something you like should actually be able to tell everyone like hey actually have a broken hand. They're making me play was he on the injury report? No, I don't know. So middle Freddie kitchens might be in trouble.

The NFL has strict injury reporting guidelines, and a player claiming a broken hand that isn't on the report would trigger an investigation.
