Brad Stevens is not on the hot seat even if the Celtics get swept

If the Celtics lose game three is Brad Stevens coaching for his job? No. Mmm. I wasn't gonna say that Hank I'm being serious is Brad Stevens on the hot seat right now? No if they get swept? No, no, he's not on the hot snot on my season.

Brad Stevens remained the Celtics coach for several more years before moving to the front office; he was never fired during this period.

The Bengals have officially found their franchise quarterback in Joe Burrow

the Bengals confirmed have their guy. Which is the greatest feeling in all of football when you can say to yourself, we've got our guy Joe [Burrow]. Jobber looks awesome out here.

Joe Burrow indeed became the face of the franchise, leading them to a Super Bowl the following season.

Aaron Rodgers performs better when he's playing with 'no-name' receivers

Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers the pettiest person in the world... I think he actually performs better with no name guys, because then it's like, oh look what Aaron Rodgers is doing again with these same like undrafted or like late round pick wide receivers. Isn't he? Just the greatest?

Rodgers won the MVP in 2020 with a roster many claimed lacked weapons outside of Davante Adams, supporting the 'pettiness' narrative.

The 'Bigger Than Ben' documentary is better and more timely than HBO's Hard Knocks

Summer Ben Roethlisberger being able to update in faster time than Hard Knocks is really an indictment of HBO Sports. Yes, that place is really falling down hill, huh?

Subjective comparison of media products, though Hard Knocks has faced criticism for becoming too polished/sanitized compared to raw YouTube content.

The Bears will beat the Giants by 10 points in Week 2

I'll say it for you. I think the Bears win this game by 10 points. I'm very nervous for this game. But I'm nervous for every Bears game.

The Bears won 17-13, a margin of 4 points, failing to meet the 10-point prediction.

The Jets are the 'disgusting' underdog pick of the week against the 49ers

I kind of like the Jets here... Once having the same thought and everyone's betting the 49ers... this is going to be my dog of the week. It's the hold your nose. This is disgusting. You're going to hate yourself at like 1:35 on Sunday when it's 17 to three 49ers, but you're not dead yet.

The 49ers blew out the Jets 31-13. The Jets did not cover the +7 spread.

Tom Brady will have a massive 'get right' game against the Panthers

I think Tom Brady's going to eat this week and everyone's like, oh my God Tom Brady's back. Yeah Bruce Arians did the classic Bruce Arians thing where he just spent the entire week making fun of Tom Brady.

The Bucs won 31-17; Brady was solid (217 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT), though Leonard Fournette did most of the scoring 'eating'.

Tyrod Taylor is a 'rebound' quarterback who provides stability but never wins games

He is the epitome of an average Quarterback, but he's somehow worse than average Quarterback... He doesn't make the mistakes that bad quarterbacks make... He just won't do anything... Tyrod is the rebound quarterback. They take right after you get done with a crazy person that just fucked your brains out.

Tyrod Taylor's career continued to follow this exact trajectory (Bills, Browns, Chargers, Texans, Giants) as a bridge/backup starter.

Bill O'Brien general manager should fire Bill O'Brien head coach

Bill O'Brien general manager of the Texans is firing Bill O'Brien head coach of the Texan. I would love to see it... It's the opposite of Bill Parcells when he was in Dallas and said if you're going to ask me cook dinner, then at least let me shop for the groceries.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
Bill O'Brien was fired from both roles just a few weeks later in October 2020 after an 0-4 start.

Ryan Tannehill is a fantasy lock for 250 yards and 4 touchdowns

My starting this week is Ryan Tannehill. If one thinks the Titans are running team, he's putting up forties and 250 yards minimum this weekend minimum, bro.

PredictionFootballHotSarcastic
Tannehill threw for 239 yards and 4 touchdowns. He hit the TD mark but was just shy of the 250-yard 'minimum'.

Always Sunny at its peak goes toe-to-toe with any show ever

I would say it's definitely top three funniest shows of the last 15 years always sunny at his Peak goes toe-to-toe with any show or greed ever.

Subjective opinion on show quality, though Always Sunny is widely regarded as an all-time great sitcom.
