Novak Djokovic is the one true tennis GOAT

Novak Djokovic the goat. Oh, oh, oh... officially passes Roger Federer in championships, major championships, one away from [Nadal] who just wins Mickey Mouse clay ones every single time... I think it's, it's firmly established. He is the goat.

While subjective, Djokovic later took the lead in total Grand Slam titles, strengthening the statistical case for this take.

Novak Djokovic will finish his career with 30 major championships

[Djokovic] is gonna end up with 30.

Djokovic currently has 24 majors (as of mid-2024). He needs 6 more to reach 30.

Baker Mayfield can still be a top 12 quarterback in the NFL

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I think that Baker [Mayfield] is still like, he could be a top 12 quarterback. I don't think he's a bust at all. I think that he was hurt last year.

Mayfield struggled in Carolina and was released, but later had a career resurgence with the Buccaneers in 2023, arguably reaching top 12-15 status again.

The rumors about Zach Wilson's personal life confirm he has 'that dog in him'

I think confirmed got that dog in him. He is a dog... If it's the truth, two consenting adults, what's the problem? I think this actually will get Zach Wilson more respect in the locker room.

Whether he has 'that dog in him' is subjective, though his play on the field remained poor thereafter.

Aaron Rodgers' new tattoo was designed specifically to impress Joe Rogan

It's a tattoo that was designed to impress Joe Rogan. Very clearly some sort of... It's a tattoo that he wants you to be like, what is that about? And then you have to strap in for three hours because he's going to tell you open your mind, open your heart tattoo.

Subjective interpretation of intent.

Chet Holmgren will get dunked on so hard this year it will deflate his cockiness

He's going to get dunked on once so viciously this year. It will, it will take 5% of the cockiness out of him. I was going to say that right now, you know, someone's going to just yam, got to pay her dues.

Holmgren missed his entire first season with injury and was eventually posterized by several players (like Anthony Edwards) in his 2023-24 debut season.

LeBron James and Steph Curry would beat Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson in a 2v2 because of the three-point shot

I think Steph Curry, he doesn't let LeBron touch the ball except to rebound. And then Steph, if he hits 40% of his threes, two is 50%... 100% more than one. I think mathematically they would dominate that game.

This is a hypothetical debate that can't be resolved.

People who wear SPF 50 sunscreen should just stay inside

I judge you if your SPF is 35 or plus... I want to put it on 50. I'm just immediately like, dude, just go inside. There's no reason to be outside. If you really can't handle this, just say you're not that guy pal. That's what I say to anyone who puts on 50.

This is a humorous value judgment.

Notre Dame will eventually be forced to join a conference for playoff access

If Notre Dame loses, you know, has their vote diluted for the playoff, they're going to join a conference... The second this happened the other day with the Big Ten adding USC and UCLA, I was like, okay, now this is it. This is when Notre Dame has to join a conference.

As of the start of the 2024 season, Notre Dame remains an independent, though realignment remains a constant threat.

North Carolina is the biggest 'tug of war' school for future conference realignment

North Carolina would be the biggest tug of war because the Big Ten and the SEC both want them badly. That's the one... North Carolina has long been coveted by the Big Ten and the SEC.

While realignment is ongoing, UNC hasn't moved yet. The interest from both leagues is widely reported by insiders.

I always bet the over on Bedlam no matter what

My favorite college tradition... betting the over in Bedlam, no matter what, no matter what. Oklahoma/Oklahoma State play, over, put it on your phone.

The 2022 Bedlam game went Under (28-13, total 41, O/U was ~64). The 2023 game went Under (27-24, total 51, O/U was ~61).

Texas is 'back' as soon as they get one big win in September

My threshold is one big win in September. They're back... If they cover against Alabama, they might be back. Yes, that might be what makes them back right there.

Hot TakeCFBHotSarcastic
Texas lost to Alabama 20-19 but covered the spread. They were declared 'back' by many after that, though they finished 8-5. They truly became 'back' in 2023 by making the Playoff.
