The NBA purposefully tried to cuck the NFL during Super Bowl week

I saw somebody tweet something out like, I've scored the first four days of Super Bowl week as 10-8, 10-9, 10-8, 10-9 in favor of the NBA... This is our week, NBA. You sons of bitches, NBA. You did it again.

The NBA frequently dominates the news cycle with trades during Super Bowl week, specifically the Porzingis trade in 2019.

The Rams are impossible to bet against because it is a Wade Phillips 'Dad Game'

Wade Phillips dedicates one game a year to his late father, Bum Phillips. The Rams, or sorry, Wade Phillips' team's defenses, 7-0 in Bum Phillips' dedication games. He is dedicating the Super Bowl to Bum Phillips... I don't know how you can bet against the Rams now. It's a dad game.

The Rams lost Super Bowl 53 to the Patriots 13-3, so the 'Dad Game' streak did not result in a win.

The NFL is running a 'long con' with referee John Perry to make the Patriots win

In Rams games, [John Perry is] 7-0. In Patriots Super Bowls, Patriots are 0-1. So is this also an NFL long con where they planted John Perry in 2007 to basically ref for a decade-plus and be really biased towards the Rams so that everyone would be like, oh, the Rams are going to win this because the NFL is corrupt. Oh, switcheroo, the Patriots won.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
While meant sarcastically, the Patriots did indeed win the game, 'correcting' the referee trend Big Cat mentioned.

The Rams would win if both teams played a perfect game because they have more talent

I'm stuck with the same thought over and over. The Rams are the more talented team. But the Patriots, at the end of the day, it's still Brady and Belichick. If they both play perfect games, I think the Rams will win because they have more talent overall.

Subjective comparison of talent vs. result. The Patriots won a defensive battle, suggesting talent alone didn't decide it.

Todd Gurley will fade in the second half of the Super Bowl due to his knee injury

I think you're going to see one of those situations where Todd Gurley, awesome in the first half, fades in the second because his knee or whatever's going on... I think the adrenaline maybe a couple shots whatever he comes out hot and then when you need him in the fourth quarter it either is C.J. Anderson in his thick ass booty or the rams are in trouble.

Gurley was a complete non-factor the entire game (10 carries for 35 yards), barely playing as the injury proved to be significant.

The Patriots are going to kill the Rams in the Super Bowl

I think Pat's going to kill him. I know we love Jared on the show. Good friend of the program. But the fact that he is, like, listening to all our episodes... it seems like he's not, like, as focused. McVay is going to get beaten by Belichick in some way, shape, or form at some point during the game.

The Patriots won but 13-3 is hardly 'killing' someone in terms of score, though it was a defensive masterclass.

Official Score Prediction: Rams 24, Patriots 20

My official pick is 24 to 20... Rams 24, Patriots 20.

The final score was Patriots 13, Rams 3. PFT was wrong on both the winner and the total points.

Picking the Patriots is the 'integrity' pick to avoid gambling embarrassment

The first thing you want to do is obviously pick a winner. The second thing you want to do is make sure you don't get embarrassed. So I guess my official pick would be the Patriots because I feel like when you get to the end of the game, it will be embarrassing if you have the Rams and the Patriots do what they've always done.

The Patriots won, validating the 'avoiding embarrassment' strategy.

I would throw for 6,000 yards and 60 touchdowns in today's NFL

So I'm going to just say I would carve it up. Throw for 6,000, you know, 60 touchdowns and have fun, especially with my guys like Duper and Clayton... and there was no bubble screens. Pass interference was like a different monster back then too.

Purely hypothetical, cannot be proven or disproven.

I take full credit for Jim Carrey's career

So it really wasn't about me. It was about what I did for Jim Carrey, because if it wasn't for me, no one would know who Jim Carrey is. That's kind of how I take all full credit for Jim Carrey's career.

While Marino was a big draw, Carrey was already a rising star, making the claim jokingly hyperbolic.

The Monday after the Super Bowl should be a federal holiday

We all are in agreement, obviously, that the Monday after the Super Bowl should be a federal holiday. Correct. Move President's Day. Abraham Lincoln's dead. He won't care. I promise. He probably would have been a big football fan.

This is a subjective opinion on public policy/calendar management.

The Knicks traded Porzingis for cap space they will definitely fail to use

The Knicks traded Kristaps to the Mavs... Basically, a cap space move... they are now going to try to go all in on Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, name any free agent, and the Knicks will be rumored to get them. And they won't get them because James Dolan is still the owner.

The Knicks famously failed to sign Durant or Irving in the 2019 offseason; both went to the Brooklyn Nets.

Tony Romo will be the Cowboys head coach in 2020

I did hear, though, that the Cowboys aren't going to extend [Jason] Garrett. So he's going to be a lame duck next year. You know what that means. Coach Romo. Coach Romo in 2020.

Tony Romo never became the Cowboys head coach; Mike McCarthy was hired in 2020.
