My College Football Playoff final four includes Western Michigan

My Final Four, by the way, I don't know if you guys care about it, but it has Clemson, Ohio State, Washington, Western Michigan. And we're just going to give the title to Alabama.

PredictionCFBMediumSarcastic
The final four was Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, and Washington. Western Michigan did not make it.

The Browns are a dark horse for the College Football Playoff

I think the Browns are a dark horse, too. They can make some noise.

Hot TakeCFBScorchingSarcastic
The Browns are an NFL team and cannot play in the College Football Playoff.

Jeff Fisher's next job should be Supreme Court Justice or the Pope

We're trying to figure out a fun game to play is what's Jeff Fisher's next job. How can he up this one? The first one is Supreme Court Justice. He basically is a Supreme Court Justice right now... He could be the Pope. Pope Fisher? Yes, Pope Fisher.

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
Fisher never held either role; he was fired by the Rams a week after this episode.

The holiday outrage crowd is officially back

I think the holiday outrage crowd is back. We got people pissed that Zales put a lesbian couple on their holiday ad. We have people pissed that CVS and Macy's aren't more Christmas friendly. Starbucks cups... the war on Christmas crowd.

This is a subjective observation of cultural trends during the holiday season.

Snow football is the best football to watch

The Packers game, Bears game. Those are the best games to watch. Snow football. Love it. It's fun to get excited for the first snowfall and then just be miserable for four months straight.

This is an inherently subjective opinion on viewing preferences.

Mixing caramel and cheese popcorn is the correct way to eat it

Oh, I like to eat them both [caramel and cheese popcorn]. Then lick my hand, then put my hand back in.

Food preferences are subjective.

The popcorn debate will be featured on Mike and Mike within two weeks

I'm going to call my shot. The popcorn debate is going to be featured on Mike and Mike within the next two weeks. Anytime you can introduce a bracket, it's going to do wonders for water cooler talk.

The outcome is unknown, but it serves as a satirical commentary on ESPN's content style.

Neither Penn State nor Wisconsin will make the College Football Playoff

No, neither team is going to get in [to the Final Four]. And the committee, let me tell you how this works... they wouldn't have put Michigan at number five if they really were anticipating putting the winner of this game in.

Correct. Penn State won the Big Ten but was ranked #5, missing the playoff. Wisconsin also missed.

Penn State will win the Big Ten Championship game

I like Penn State. I know you didn't ask me, but I'm going to go on the record and say Penn State, and then nothing else changes in the Final Four.

Correct. Penn State won the game and the playoff top four remained unchanged.

Clemson is the only team with the speed to match up with Alabama

The team, when Ohio State beat Alabama a couple years ago... athletically they had the players to match up with Alabama. And I think right now that Clemson fits in that same mold. The only team that I don't like against Alabama really is Washington. I just don't think that they got the overall team speed to run with Alabama.

Clemson defeated Alabama in the title game, proving they could match up athletically, while Washington lost handily to Alabama in the semifinal.

You have to give a college coach four years to build a program

I really think you've got to give a guy four years. Because when you go into a job... there's commitments. And so you honor those kids. And they may not fit in offense, defense, scheme-wise to what you're going to do.

This is a subjective philosophy on athletic department management.

Jimmy Butler has gotten better every single year of his career

Jimmy Butler has gotten better like every single year of his career. And I know you're a hater... He's been awesome. He is the Bulls team.

Statistically, Butler improved his scoring and all-around game every season from his rookie year until his final season in Chicago.

Ezekiel Elliott is eating cereal, not soup, in his 'feed me' celebration

I saw somebody say, look at Ezekiel Elliott eating that cereal... he does his little soup celebration every time he gets some yards. I thought it's soup. Nope. It's cereal.

Elliott has confirmed he's simply 'eating,' but has leaned into cereal motifs in marketing, though the original intent was broad hunger.

Ezekiel Elliott's 'feed me' celebration is problematic because of world hunger

This celebration is kind of problematic. A lot of people out there don't have food. They're hungry. They don't have soup. They don't have cereal. Ezekiel Elliott's just out there wasting it. He's basically saying, look how rich I am. I can eat.

This is a satirical moral judgment, not a verifiable fact.

Steve Kerr is directly financing terror by admitting to using marijuana

By buying that marijuana... Steve Kerr is directly financing terror. So I don't know if there's a case to be like a Rico thing they could investigate, the Warriors, but it's not a good look.

This is a satirical accusation.

Announcers are drawing telestrator dicks on purpose to drive ratings

I think that announcers are drawing telestrator dicks on purpose to drive up ratings. Because there's one thing that you can't draw when you're doing a telestrator and that's a dick. And they do it every time. Every single time it's a dick.

While phallic drawings are common accidents, there is no evidence they are intentional rating-drivers.
