Eli Manning's career outside of his two Super Bowl runs was remarkably average

A remarkably average career outside of those two. If you can spend your entire career... 15 years. If you can go exactly 500 after 15 years of playing football, that's super impressive. It's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Average.

Eli Manning finished his career with a exactly .500 regular season record (117-117), supporting PFT's claim of 'remarkable' averageness.

Eli Manning is a Hall of Famer because Super Bowl wins carry the most weight

The Super Bowl carries so much weight that I am totally fine with Eli Manning definitely being in the Hall of Fame because of those two runs. And they were incredible runs.

Eli Manning has not yet been inducted (he first becomes eligible in 2025), but the take is a long-standing debate topic.

Lorenzo Neal should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Lorenzo Neal, eligible for the Hall of Fame. Go vote for Lorenzo Neal right now. It's been like 10, 15 years since we've had a real fullback get in. Lorenzo Neal should fucking be in the Hall of Fame.

Lorenzo Neal has not been inducted into the Hall of Fame as of 2024.

Eli Manning will play again this season after Daniel Jones gets hurt

He's going to play again this year. Daniel Jones is going to get hurt, and Eli Manning is going to come in and win the Giants a meaningless game.

Eli Manning did play again in 2019 after Daniel Jones suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 13. Eli started two games (Weeks 14 and 15), winning the second against the Dolphins.

The Jets' season is already over after Sam Darnold's mono diagnosis and Trevor Siemian's injury

The point is the Jets' season is over. Luke Falk is not going to be the guy. I would assume he's not going to be the guy.

The Jets started 0-4 and finished 7-9, missing the playoffs.

Jalen Ramsey will definitely play in Thursday night's game against the Titans

He will play in Thursday night's game. I'm going to put a guarantee. If he gets traded? Yeah. Because he'll get traded to the Titans.

Jalen Ramsey did play for the Jaguars in their Thursday night win over the Titans on September 19, 2019, before being traded to the Rams weeks later.

The Jaguars would be crazy to trade Jalen Ramsey

I think the Jaguars would be crazy to trade him. Crazy. I mean, he's really, really good. Really, really good.

Complaining on Twitter about your food being stolen is a dickhead move

I'm blaming her [Lizzo] for complaining online about it because that's a dickhead thing to do. As a fellow curvy person, you never want to tweet about your food not being there... I feel like you're just setting yourself up to get dunked on.

This is a subjective moral/etiquette take.

Mike Leach will get involved in the political meme wars of 2020

He's [Mike Leach] just getting into the meme game. He's just getting into it and watch out world. He's going to as soon as he catches up... he definitely will be in the political meme wars of 2020.

Mike Leach did occasionally tweet or retweet political content and memes leading up to and during 2020, though his 'participation' was more erratic than a full 'warrior'.

Super teams have always been a part of the NBA

Super teams have always been a part of the league. You know, in the 80s, Showtime, the Lakers, Robert Parrish, Larry Bird, you know, Kevin McHale. I always tell people, the Lakers had Ron Harper. Ron Harper won five championships. They don't even mention Ron Harper.

While the method of formation (free agency vs. trades/draft) changed, the existence of teams with multiple Hall of Famers is a historical fact in the NBA.

The Spurs intentionally turned off the AC during Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals

[Big Cat]: Do you think the Spurs intentionally turned off the AC in that final? [Bosh]: Absolutely. Of course. That's like Red Auerbach was known. If you're in Boston, the fire things that come off or whatever... I mean, he never denied it, right? But yeah, if I'm them, I'm trying to win.

The Spurs officially attributed it to an electrical failure. While widely speculated by fans, it has never been proven as intentional.

LeBron James cramps more than people realize because his muscles are so dense

I knew Brian [LeBron] was going to cramp, though. Yeah, because his muscles are so dense. He cramps, like, more than you think, you know, because he's so big.

Cramping is a known recurring issue for LeBron (e.g., 2012 and 2014 Finals), and Bosh's insight as a teammate is considered credible.

Space Jam 2 is going to suck

He's [LeBron] doing Space Jam 2, man. It's going to suck. Yeah, for sure. He'll ruin it.

Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) received generally negative reviews from critics (25% on Rotten Tomatoes) and many fans, widely considered inferior to the original.

Chris Bosh earned over $31,000 for every rebound in his NBA career

Chris Bosh totaled 7,592 boards, and on the court, he earned $239,063,622. Do the math. Bam. That's more than 31 grand per rebound. Not too shabby.

The math checks out based on reported career earnings ($242M total, around $239M on-court) and career rebounds (7,592).

If a man finds an outfit that works, he should wear it every time

If you're a guy and you find something that works, you run that play until it doesn't work anymore. He got a girlfriend who feels secure enough in the relationship to introduce him to her family. That shit's working.
