The NFL is rigged and scripted to get Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl

The NFL is rigged, rigged. It's rigged for ratings or for money. ... This shit is fucking rigged. The NFL is rigged. I don't, it's scripted everything. They get a script at the start of every season and then Hollywood kicks them out because no one would believe the script. ... They want Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

The NFL is a legitimate competitive league, not a scripted entertainment product like professional wrestling.

Kirk Cousins has had a better NFL career than Tony Romo

I had a take last week that Kirk Cousins has had a better NFL career than Tony Romo did. ... I would rather have Kirk Cousins as the quarterback of my team for his whole career than Tony Romo. That's a fact.

Subjective comparison of two quarterbacks with similar profiles (high stats, limited playoff success). Romo has better peak accolades (All-Pro), Cousins has more longevity and volume.

The Eagles roster is better than the Chiefs at every position except quarterback and tight end

The Eagles are probably better than the Chiefs at every position group other than quarterback. Tight end, tight end quarterback and tight end. Yeah. But blind offensive defensive line. I'm taking, I'm taking the birds receiver room, birds running game birds secondary, secondary birds. Like the eagles have the better roster.

This is a widely accepted evaluation of the 2022 rosters; the Eagles were deeper but the Chiefs had Mahomes and Kelce.

I could still be a successful college quarterback today because of my knowledge of the game

I think I could, yeah, in college I could go in there and still be pretty successful. I wouldn't have to run the, the, the rush of the defense line is not, is not as bad. You could really, you know, get to a lot of good plays and with your checks and this knowledge. So I think I could go out there and, and have a pretty, a pretty successful year in college.

Cannot be verified as he is retired, but a 2-time Super Bowl winner would likely dominate college defenses mentally.

My mother is the source of the championship genes in the Manning family

No doubt. She was a hoop a hoops player. You know, she, that's where we get the height from. She's, you know, six foot had a little hook shot. She was unstoppable in basketball. So that's where we get, that's where we get our vision. Just seeing the court, you know, and, and you know, but my mom, my mom's the best she was, was our, our ultimate fan and supporter.

Inherently subjective familial praise.

The NBA referee apology for the LeBron no-call was written by Rich Paul

They should've had like just posted a picture of them at the time while they were tweeting it cuz it's definitely Rich Paul with a gun to their head. Yeah. As they're sitting there, LeBron James definitely hit up NBA officiating was like, I need a public apology. I need people to know that, that you guys screwed that up.

Hot TakeBasketballHotSarcastic
The apology was likely a PR move by the league, not literally dictated by an agent at gunpoint.

Mike McCarthy taking over play-calling is the beginning of the end for his time in Dallas

Mike McCarthy is saying that he's going to now take on play calling rules. So this is awesome. ... It's also just, it's the beginning of the end. And if it's because when you get this job, they're basically saying, now you have to fucking do this. Yes. And you're gonna, so it's, it is shuffling the, the deck chairs on the Titanic.

McCarthy's contract was not renewed after the 2024 season, confirming it was indeed the 'beginning of the end'.

Stetson Bennett's arrest for public intoxication makes him a better NFL draft prospect

Honestly that made Stetson Bennett go up in my draft board. ... If you're Stetson Bennett, what's stopping you from just getting absolutely hammered? He's in the middle of maybe the biggest case of senioritis of all time. And it's well deserved.

Bennett was drafted in the 4th round by the Rams. It's unlikely an arrest actually helped his draft stock with real NFL GMs.

Novak Djokovic is officially the greatest tennis player of all time

He won his 10th Australian Open. He is now tied with Rafa at all 22 men's singles Grand Slam. ... That's the goat. That's the goat.

Djokovic eventually surpassed Nadal and Federer in total Grand Slams and weeks at #1, strengthening the case.
