There is a 100% chance Andrew Luck plays another snap in the NFL

I'm going to say there's a hundred percent chance that Andrew Luck plays another snap in the NFL. Oh, that's good. You know, why because I can basically keep saying it for the next ten years and by that time I'll be dead and yeah and just be like, oh why I put an expiration date on my own life and Andrew Luck's like potential of who you know, who's out there Andrew Luck. Mmm that will last far longer.

Andrew Luck never played another snap in the NFL after his 2019 retirement.

Andrew Luck's shoulder failed to heal because Indianapolis was the first city to get 5G service

There is a doctor out there. He specializes in holistic medicine... He thinks that Andrew Luck shoulder didn't heal correctly because Indianapolis was the first city in the country to get 5G service. And he thinks that all the data swimming through that City interferes with the Regeneration of stem cells. Oh, so he thinks that Andrew Luck's his shoulder is actually never going to repair because of that.

There is no scientific evidence that 5G service interferes with stem cell regeneration or caused Andrew Luck's injuries.

The NCAA intentionally picks unjust transfer stories to distract from their multi-billion dollar business

I actually think the NCAA depicts these stories specifically they're like, we need to find a way where everyone would think our ruling is completely unjust and bullshit rule that way. So everyone talks about that and not the fact that we make billions of dollars and you know, like extort everyone and and and basically run a entire corporation that is bullshit.

This is a subjective opinion on NCAA strategy, though the NCAA did eventually relax many transfer rules years later due to legal pressure.

Women are naturally designed to be football kickers

I think that women actually might have a natural advantage in their bodies when it comes to kicking because they don't have those clumsy testicles that you squish them. Sure when you kick true... They're probably designed to be kickers. I'm all for it. Let her kick Let her kick why not her.

There is no physiological evidence supporting this specific claim, and no woman has yet played as a kicker in the NFL.

The 'Seven-Year Bump' for NFL quarterbacks is real

Somebody actually put the stats together out there... they found out that nineteen out of twenty two quarterbacks entering year 7 had a better touchdown per attempt percentage... everyone except for Jay Cutler had a better completion percentage... Basically the seven-year bump is real.

While statistical trends can be found for certain cohorts, 'the seven-year bump' is more of a show-specific narrative than a universally accepted football principle.
