Kevin Durant is leaving the Warriors the second the season is over

I'm of the mindset that Kevin Durant's gone the second the season's over.

Kevin Durant did indeed leave the Warriors in the summer of 2019 to join the Brooklyn Nets.

There are only three quarterbacks in the NFL worth a 4-year, $140 million contract

There are three quarterbacks in all the NFL that you would give this deal to... Aaron Rodgers already got it. Russell Wilson just got it. Patrick Mahomes is the third. There's not anyone else. You can't think of any other guys.

While subjective, the QB market exploded shortly after this with many more players getting similar or larger deals, though Mahomes, Wilson, and Rodgers remained the top tier at the time.

Ryan Tannehill will finally take the 'next step' this year

Time for [Ryan Tannehill] to make that next step. He will make the next step this year. And Mariota will get hurt. Yes, he will.

Tannehill actually did take the 'next step' in 2019, replacing Mariota (who got benched/injured) and winning Comeback Player of the Year while leading the Titans to the AFC Championship.

Capitals losing 5-0 is better than a close overtime loss

If it was a 4-3 overtime loss, I would be a little bit more worried. But the fact that I was rooting for it to get worse... 5-0, you can just wipe that one off. You can just say, wasn't our night, fellas.

The Capitals ended up losing the series to the Hurricanes in 7 games, so the blowout didn't necessarily help them reset.

The Chargers will never win a Super Bowl in their Baby Blue jerseys

They're never going to win a Super Bowl in the Baby Blues, but it looks great. I'm done believing in the San Diego Chargers.

As of 2024, the Chargers have still not won a Super Bowl.

Daniel Jones will be the second quarterback taken in the 2019 NFL Draft

Daniel Jones from Duke, 6'5", 220, 6'5". John Elway just took off his pants, is rocketing up the mock drafts... But he might be the second guy taken.

Daniel Jones was indeed the second quarterback taken in the 2019 draft, going 6th overall to the Giants (behind Kyler Murray and ahead of Dwayne Haskins).

Archie Manning is behind the Daniel Jones hype to protect Eli Manning's job

Very clearly Archie Manning [is behind this] because the Manning family is fucking in love with Duke's coach [David Cutcliffe]... And this guy is just somebody that's been around Peyton and Eli for long enough that Archie's like, he's my third boy... He knows how to keep this guy under control and not be good enough to take Eli's job for at least five years.

Hot TakeFootballFireSarcastic
While Jones did go to the Giants, he took Eli's job in just two weeks of the 2019 season, debunking the theory that he was there to protect Eli.

Neil Armstrong is a more significant Purdue alum than I am

I'd say that's pretty significant, though, what Neil Armstrong accomplished. So I'd have to put him up there [above me].

Brees is an NFL legend, but Armstrong's lunar landing is universally considered a more significant historical event.

Blake Snell was actually having sex in the shower when he hurt his toe

Dude, you're having sex in the shower. Like that was a really long way of just saying, hey, I was having sex in the shower and I stubbed my toe.

This is purely speculative and meant for comedic effect, though Snell's actual story involved a granite decorative stand.

Christian Yelich will ruin his swing if he participates in the Home Run Derby

Real talk. It's going to mess up his swing if he competes in the home run derby... You're going to fuck up your swing.

Yelich did participate in 2019. He had a great second half but dealt with a back injury, making this take partially supported by superstitious fans but statistically debatable.

Max Kellerman farted on 'First Take' because he's terrified of Stephen A. Smith

I think he did fart, and I think it's because Stephen A. Smith has just been owning him with debates... Kellerman is scared of Stephen A. Smith. He is absolutely frightened by the very sight of him.

The 'fart' remained a viral mystery; Kellerman later denied it, but the social dynamics of the show were a frequent joke on PMT.

The Raptors should trade Drake to break the Drake Curse

The Raptors should trade Drake. He's a big mad. I think he's upset.

Hot TakeBasketballMediumSarcastic
The Raptors did not trade Drake and actually won the NBA Championship two months later, effectively ending the Drake Curse.
