The Arizona Cardinals leaked Kyler Murray's contract to make him look bad

I think it was more along the lines of, he thinks it's disrespectful that somebody leaked the contract... because it doesn't make anybody look good. It doesn't make the Cardinals look good to be like, oh yeah, we just guaranteed 166 million to a guy that we have to monitor to make sure he is doing his homework every night.

The source of the leak was never officially confirmed, but the Cardinals eventually removed the clause following the backlash, supporting the idea that the leak backfired.

Jim Harbaugh's adoption stance is actually a long-term recruiting strategy to build a super team

He's essentially just opened the doors being like, I will take any babies that my team produces. And guess what? It's a lot easier to recruit your adopted sons than it is some random kid... He's building a super team for 20 years from now. Embryos are getting an offer letter to Michigan.

Hot TakeCFBScorchingSarcastic
This is a satirical interpretation of Harbaugh's pro-life comments and not a literal prediction of Michigan's roster in 2042.

You shouldn't be called a streaker unless you are fully nude

You shouldn't be allowed to be called a streaker unless you're fully committed and you go totally nude on it. I wanna just tip my hat to that individual... and not just running out there in a t-shirt having Al Michaels be like, and we're not gonna show you the streaker on the field. Cause I think that's bullshit.

This is a subjective definition of a slang term.

Julio Jones has gone downhill and no longer looks explosive

I feel like he's gone downhill as a player. Like he didn't look explosive last year at all. Well, the fact that he's 33 and he's like old and at the end of his career is just very, it's like a bummer just to think about.

Julio Jones finished the 2022 season with only 299 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns, confirming that his elite days were over.

The 'Notes App' social media post is a top-tier way to announce a career change

We're gonna go with posting a notes app on social media to announce a career change. Thanking everybody involved... a lot of people, public figures do this, right? They say goodbye via notes app. And it usually puts their name in the trending column. So I think it moves the needle.

This is a subjective ranking of a social media trope.

The Daily Show was the most dysfunctional place I have ever worked

The daily show was easily the most dysfunctional place I've worked because the network set it up the wrong way. They hired the executive producer first and then they didn't, they hired me second. And so it was very dysfunctional. I just ignored it and scored on the air and got out of there.

This is Kilborn's personal professional experience, which is a matter of factual record from his perspective.

I would pay any price for NBA League Pass

For the NBA league pass, I would pay anything. I have to watch those games. So I think it's like, I think it's 300 bucks. I don't know what it is, but don't tell Adam silver, but if it was higher I would pay higher.

Subjective personal value judgment.

Justin Fields is in such a bad situation that we might not know if he's actually a bad quarterback

He is going to be the perfect test case of if he's good, it's in spite of everything that's been stacked against him. And if he's bad, we're not even gonna know if he's truly bad because it's been that much of like, he has nothing. So I could totally see him being terrible for the bears and then getting a second chance somewhere else and flourishing.

This proved remarkably accurate. Fields was traded to the Steelers after three years where fans debated whether his failure was due to his own play or the Bears' lack of talent around him.

Wolverines are more closely related to seals and sea lions than they are to wolves

Wolverines are related to seals and sea lions closer than actual wolves.

Biologically correct. Wolverines are in the suborder Caniformia, but within the family Mustelidae. They are more closely related to Pinnipeds (seals/sea lions) than they are to Canids (true wolves).
