Week 10 gave us clarity on who the actual good teams are in the NFL

I have one word for you for Week 10. You ready for it? Clarity. We actually know who's good now... it's basically the Vikings, the Rams, the Eagles [and] the Saints.

The four teams listed (Eagles, Vikings, Rams, Saints) all finished the season with 11+ wins and made the playoffs, with the Eagles winning the Super Bowl.

Rex Burkhead is a rich man's Danny Woodhead

I liked what Bill Belichick was doing with Rex Burkhead tonight... he's a poor man's Danny Woodhead, which technically makes him a rich man's Danny Woodhead, if that makes any sense at all.

While Burkhead was a solid contributor for the Patriots, he never quite reached the elite pass-catching production level of Danny Woodhead's prime years.

The Jaguars and Rams are both going to the Super Bowl

The Jaguars and the Rams are, knock on wood, both going to the playoffs. Super Bowl... The Rams are a legitimately good team... The Jags' defense is unbelievable.

Both teams won their divisions and made the playoffs. The Jaguars reached the AFC Championship, and the Rams reached the Wild Card round. Neither made the Super Bowl that year (though the Rams did the following year).

I would still rather have Myles Garrett over Deshaun Watson

I'd still rather have Garrett over Deshaun Watson, though, because he's injury prone. True. Who's going to produce more this year?

While Watson was better early on, Garrett has had a far superior and more consistent career as a multi-time All-Pro and DPOY, while Watson's career was derailed by injuries and off-field issues.

Ben Roethlisberger fakes a limp whenever he feels tired or cold

When he feels tired, Ben's like, I got a limp... somewhere in the back of his lizard brain, it's like, you need to show these people that you're injured... He's not smart enough to fake a limp, but [it's his] lizard brain.

This is a subjective character assessment of Roethlisberger's playing style and public persona.

If the NFL kicks Jerry Jones out, he will start a better football league with guns and steroids

I'm rooting for this simply because if Jerry Jones gets kicked out of the NFL, he is going to start the greatest fucking football league ever. XFL will be back... Guns, steroids, and that butter sauce you get with your pizza at Papa John's.

Jerry Jones was never kicked out of the NFL, and he never started a rival league.

The Miami Hurricanes are officially back

As a team, Miami is officially, officially back. Now, Hank said it last week. The U. But they are now back.

Miami lost their final three games of the season (Pitt, Clemson, Wisconsin) and haven't returned to that level of national relevance consistently since, showing they weren't truly 'back'.

Wisconsin is only in the playoff hunt to eventually lose to Ohio State by 40

There's just a fat, slow lineman up north that's just like, hey, guys, can I come in? That's Wisconsin just waiting to get in. Waiting to lose to Ohio State by 40 with me in attendance.

Wisconsin did lose to Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship, but it was a close 27-21 game, not a 40-point blowout.

Lefty quarterbacks suck at throwing the football

Horny Brook [Alex Hornibrook], there's something about him when he passes. He's terrible. He's got that weird left. He's a lefty. The way that he passes with his left hand just doesn't look natural. Lefties suck at throwing the football.

This is a subjective aesthetic and performance opinion, though generally, left-handed QBs have become increasingly rare in the NFL.

The Boston Celtics are officially back

My who's back of the week is the Boston Celtics. Oh, great. They won 12 in a row. They're in first place in the Eastern Conference.

The Celtics finished with 55 wins and reached Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals that year.

Coleslaw is both a salad and a liquid that keeps you hydrated

Coleslaw is the rare food that is both a salad and a liquid at the same time. So if you eat enough coleslaw, you stay hydrated.

Fact ClaimFoodMediumSarcastic
While coleslaw contains water from the cabbage and dressing, it is not considered a hydration source by any nutritional standard.

Facial expressions in impressions are a 'cheat' to make people believe the voice is better

The facial stuff is all a cheat. If you can do the mannerisms and the stuff with your face, it's a total cheat to get people to believe the voice is better than it is because people will start to see.

This is a professional observation from a veteran impressionist about performance psychology.

The NFL pylon rule is stupid and should be changed to a Quidditch-style hoop

I have a dumb question... why do pylons exist?... everyone keeps fumbling while reaching for the pylon... what they should do... They need to make them little like hoops that you can throw the ball into the hoop. And that counts as a touchdown... it's the safest play in football.

The NFL did not adopt Quidditch hoops as of the latest rules updates.

The boat picture officially jinxed the New York Giants franchise

The Giants are 1-9 and have been outscored by 113 points since the famous boat picture... Even Cam Newton knew you had to get on board the Titanic... I am fully on board with the theory that the boat totally jinxed the entire franchise for the Giants.

The Giants had one of the worst records in the NFL for the five years following that picture, effectively ending their decade of competitiveness.

If a singer sucks at an open mic in Texas, you're supposed to tackle them

I found out that it was at an open mic [the Josh Beckett incident]... I feel like at an open mic in Texas if the guy sucks you're kind of you're supposed to tackle him. Yeah that's true he just was like a deputized bouncer.

Tackling performers is illegal and not a standard social practice in Texas.
