Fall starts when August ends

This is what I consider to be the start of fall. I'm a big September 21st truther. I think that fall starts when August ends.

Fall astronomical start is usually September 21-23.

Ohio State has a 0% chance of losing to Indiana

I said, nope, I'm just going to say it on the show. There's a 0% chance Ohio State loses this game [to Indiana]. So now if it happens, it'll be funny.

Ohio State won the game 49-21 on August 31, 2017.

Nick Saban would score 100 points on Lane Kiffin if they played

He's [Saban] not playing against Lane Kiffin. So make that 10-1. Saban would probably go like, he'd put up a 100 burger.

OpinionCFBHotSarcastic
While they played several times, Saban never put up 100 points on Kiffin.

NFL players should lose their Twitter checkmark if they get cut

They cut him before it was over, but he gets to keep the jersey picture, but I say that you should lose your checkmark. The NFL's a checkmark league.

This is a subjective opinion on social media policy.

Tiger Woods should only play par-3 courses to save his back

He needs to revamp his whole game a little bit because once he starts getting above a five iron is when his spinal column collapses like a termite mound. So he needs to just go to par three courses.

OpinionGolfMediumSarcastic
Tiger eventually won the Masters in 2019, proving he could still play full courses.

Men should cover up their legs and never wear shorts

Hot take. The once and future king of Mount Rushmore season, shorts. Cool take. I kind of hate shorts. I think men should cover up their legs.

This is a subjective fashion opinion.

Nick Saban smiles for less than two minutes after winning a national championship

Oh, fellas, you said two minutes. I'd take the under. I really would. That's a lock of the decade. Because even after we won the national championship, in the locker room, not kidding, we have the crystal ball in hand... He went into the locker room and said, 'hey, guys, great job... you know that's not how we play in the second half.'

Anecdotal but widely corroborated by other former Alabama players.

Alabama would have lost by 40 points to Texas in 2010 if Colt McCoy didn't get hurt

I think we would have lost by at least 40. It's in large part, too, because if you guys have been to the Rose Bowl in January, it's that humidity. It's the humidity in the air that gets you, and I'm just not sure we were conditioned well enough to hang if Colt didn't get hurt.

Hot TakeCFBScorchingSarcastic
McElroy is clearly being sarcastic here; Bama was the favorite and eventually won the game.

Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson will be part of a 'sneaky good' QB class

I have a feeling this year's class... all four have a chance to be sneaky good, I think, in the NFL... Pat Mahomes, Mitch Trubisky, Deshaun Watson, and even DeShone Kizer.

Patrick Mahomes became a future Hall of Famer and Watson was a superstar before off-field issues. Trubisky and Kizer were busts.

Auburn is the team to beat in the SEC if Alabama falters

If Alabama does not win the SEC title, what team does? Auburn. This guy, Jared Stidham, is the real deal by all accounts... Auburn offensively is going to be significantly improved.

Auburn did win the SEC West but lost to Georgia in the SEC Championship game.

Stanford is a surprise playoff contender for 2017

Watch out for Stanford... Bryce Love is a kid who is really, really talented... Stanford is a team that nobody's really talking about right now... they could be sitting there at 10 wins, 11 wins near season's end and on the cusp of a potential playoff berth.

Stanford finished 9-5 and lost the Pac-12 Championship, missing the playoff.

Under 4.5 SEC teams will finish in the AP Top 10

Over, under, four and a half [SEC] teams in the top 10 at the end of the season? I'm going to lean towards the under... I'm going to jump wholeheartedly on the under four and a half teams in the top ten.

The final AP Top 10 featured only three SEC teams (Alabama, Georgia, Auburn).

The New York Jets will win fewer than four games

Are you on board there? Under four [wins for the Jets]? Agreed.

The 2017 Jets exceeded expectations and finished with 5 wins.

The NCAA will investigate LaMelo Ball for selling shoes

Yes, this is going to pique their [NCAA] interest a little. If you take any dollar out of the NCAA's pockets, they will come down on you. So yes, I think the NCAA will look into this.

LaMelo eventually lost his NCAA eligibility and played overseas before the NBA.

A-Rod is attempting to transform Jennifer Lopez into himself

I think A-Rod is trying to turn J-Lo into himself. Because we all know that he loves himself... recently she's been doing a lot of workouts with him in the gym.

This is a comedic theory about celebrity relationship dynamics.
