Dan Snyder is the best talent evaluator in the history of the NFL

I don't do overreactions, but Dan Snyder is the best talent evaluator in the history of the National Football League.

Dwayne Haskins was a major draft bust and Snyder was widely criticized for his interference in the pick.

Kyler Murray is lying about The Great Gatsby being his favorite movie

I'm pretty sure Kyler Murray is the kind of guy that likes the Great Gatsby because he thinks Gatsby's cool as hell right? And he like throws these sick parties and he's just a boss. He does the Leo dance 15 years after it was cool... There was nothing cool about that book or that movie.

Subjective opinion on personal movie taste.

NFL teams should wait until a training camp injury occurs before trading Josh Rosen

They've got to wait until someone gets injured. A Teddy Bridgewater injury—we don't root for injuries, but that would be one to trade him. It's still going to be very awkward to have Josh Rosen and Kyler Murray in the same QB room if he somehow stays on the team for the next three months.

The Cardinals traded Josh Rosen to the Dolphins the very next day (April 26, 2019) for a 2nd round pick and a 5th round pick, so they did not wait for a training camp injury.

The Giants drafted Daniel Jones as a genius move to keep Eli Manning starting

It was actually, when you think about it, a genius move by Dave Gettleman because what he did here was he drafted a guy who everyone, all the Giants fans, he'd be like, look, we drafted a guy top 10. We have our quarterback of the future. He's just going to suck. And we can keep Eli going.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
Daniel Jones replaced Eli Manning as the starter in Week 3 of the 2019 season, so the pick did not keep Eli going for 5 years.

Daniel Jones is actually an unacknowledged member of the Manning family

I think there was some hanky-panky that went on, and Archie's got another kid running around by the name of Daniel Jones... Daniel Jones is the most fucking alias name I've ever heard. Absolutely. He is a Manning. He's Manning through and through.

This is a humorous conspiracy theory and not factually true.

The Jaguars defense will be dominant after drafting Josh Allen

Josh Allen. Seventh pick, Jaguars. Jaguars D is going to be so fucking good. I can't believe he fell to this.

Josh Allen had a very successful rookie season with 10.5 sacks and made the Pro Bowl, although the Jaguars team overall struggled (6-10).

This is the final year of the Golden State Warriors dynasty

This is the end of the Warriors. Like this is their last run. They either win the title this year and go off as three in a row, all that shit, or they lose and everyone goes their other way and hates each other.

The Warriors lost the 2019 Finals and Kevin Durant left for the Nets, ending that specific era, though the core won again in 2022.

Duke players only chose the school for the degree, not because of illegal payments

So essentially Marvin Bagley and Zion Williamson were on the open market to be bought, but all of a sudden no one was able to buy them except for—oh, Duke. I figured it out, though... they decided to go for the diploma, a long-term investment, as opposed to a quick infusion of cash.

Hot TakeCBBScorchingSarcastic
The take is satirical; Duke was later implicated in the same investigations and the 'degree' argument is a mocking of NCAA PR.

April has the worst weather of any month because of its inconsistency

April has the worst weather of any month... Because you can't fucking plan for it. It's cold. It's still the winter. Then it's hot. Then it's cold again. Then it rains... I would rather at least know January's going to suck no matter what.

Inherently subjective take on weather preference.

NFL draft picks cannot be accurately graded until three or four years after they happen

I always like the draft grades that are going to come out on Monday. Teams are going to get A's and B's and C's and D's... but they don't circle back three or four years after. Because that's when you really grade the draft.

Widely accepted logic in sports evaluation.

The Night King is bypassing the Battle of Winterfell to attack King's Landing

The most common theory that people sent us... is that the Night King is on his way to King's Landing, like pulling a little hezy hay. He's going to King's Landing while the rest of the army of the dead fight it out at Winterfell.

The Night King was actually present at the Battle of Winterfell and was killed there by Arya Stark; he never went to King's Landing.

Bran Stark is an annoying character who ruins every scene he is in

Bran, I hope that fuck gets skull fucked in the middle of the field because he's so awkward. It's the guy in the wheelchair. I know Lieutenant Bran. He's so annoying. He ruins every scene.

The Game of Thrones series finale will end with everyone turning into happy zombies

Everything else is fine. All right. That's the M. Night Shyamalan twist... Everybody just turns into a zombie and they're happy forever. They can't go in water, so you at least have that.

This did not happen; the White Walkers were defeated in episode 3.
