The Dallas Cowboys are the best team that sucks in the NFL

Dallas is still maybe the best team in the NFL, which is insane. They're the best team that sucks. In the NFL. They're the suckiest best teams, too.

The 2016 Cowboys finished 13-3 and were the #1 seed in the NFC, though they did lose their first playoff game to Green Bay.

The Super Bowl will feature some combination of the Patriots, Cowboys, or Seahawks

And it sucks to say this, but it's going to be the Patriots and the Cowboys or the Seahawks. Slash Seahawks, yeah. So some combination of that, that's where we're going to be in Houston. And I don't feel good about it.

The Patriots did make it and won Super Bowl LI. The Cowboys and Seahawks were both eliminated in the Divisional Round.

Ed Orgeron is officially the greatest interim coach of all time

Is he officially the greatest interim coach of all time? His last head coaching stint at Ole Miss, where he went 10-25... he's won more games as an interim coach than a head coach.

At the time of the take, Orgeron was 6-2 at USC and 5-2 at LSU as an interim, totaling 11 wins, which was more than his 10 wins at Ole Miss.

Ohio State is not a lock for the College Football Playoff if Penn State wins the Big Ten

If Penn State beats Wisconsin... I think you're looking at either two Big Ten teams in or you're looking at Penn State in and Ohio State out. Now, that's very, like, no one agrees with me on this... Kirk Herbstreit, those guys are saying, no, they're saying, you know, Ohio State's a lock... And I don't know how they can comfortably say that.

The committee ultimately chose Ohio State (the non-champion) over Penn State (the Big Ten champion) for the 4th seed.

The average lifespan of an NFL player is longer than an average American

The average lifespan of an NFL player is longer than an average American. No, even an average American. Like, it's longer. They live longer, healthier lives than an average American. CTE or not.

While some studies (like NIOSH 2012) showed NFL players had lower overall mortality rates than the general population due to higher fitness and socioeconomic status, the claim is highly debated regarding quality of life and brain health specifically.

College players should be allowed to transfer without penalty if their coach leaves

A quick fix for the NCAA for me to make things fairer for the players is to let them transfer if their coach goes they should be able to go too let them go i agree with that

While not a specific rule for when a coach leaves, the NCAA eventually implemented the transfer portal and the one-time transfer exception in 2021, greatly increasing player mobility.

Tom Herman will win a conference championship before Ed Orgeron

Who wins a conference championship first? Tom Herman? Coach O? Oh, I think Tom Herman. Because Coach O is – I need to see who he's going to bring in to run his offense... But the road that Tom Herman has to take is going to be so much easier in the Big 12.

Ed Orgeron won the SEC and the National Championship in 2019. Tom Herman never won the Big 12 conference title at Texas.

The yellow first down line on TV is not an official line

People forget that the yellow line on the field isn't official. So people actually forgot that this weekend in the Ohio State-Michigan game. What? Great game by the refs forgot it as a matter of fact so they just said oh it looks like across the yellow line first down first down

This is a literal fact; the yellow line is a broadcast graphic and not visible on the field or used by officials.

Fox has a much better Thanksgiving broadcast than CBS because they use holiday graphics

CBS cheated us on that. I don't know if you saw it. But it came back. They didn't have it, and then Fox was like a bukkake of leaves on my face. Leaves and gourds just dripping... I actually got mad on Thanksgiving Day when I turned on the Lions game and it was just a regular scoreboard. How the fuck am I supposed to know it's a holiday if it's a regular scoreboard?

Purely a matter of broadcast preference.

Roger Goodell's failure to suspend Aaron Hernandez is encouraging other players to mimic him

Players are starting to do the Aaron Hernandez crack the safe money toss touchdown celebration. I have. So stay woke. Roger Goodell in his negligence and failing to suspend Aaron Hernandez despite being convicted of murder... he's emboldened the players to mimic Aaron Hernandez. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some more murders.

The NFL technically never suspended Hernandez while he was in prison because he was no longer under contract, though they had no intention of letting him play.

The 2016 Big Ten Championship game is rigged for Wisconsin to win

The Big Ten titles game is going to be rigged in favor of Wisconsin this time. Because last time, the 59-0 Ohio State. That was rigged. Wisconsin. Gary Anderson was fired recently. Left right away. It all makes sense.

Penn State won the 2016 Big Ten Championship game 38-31 over Wisconsin.
