Christmas Day is the official start of the NBA season

People start caring about the NBA on Christmas Day. That is the official start of the season. They should just start it at that point and then move on from there because, yeah, football, we own the fall.

The NBA season literally starts in October, but culturally, Christmas is the major TV launch point for many fans.

Manny Diaz is the perfect coach to bring Miami back because he is slightly shady

Manny Diaz is the perfect type of Miami coach where he walked in the door and was like, I'm bringing the U back. And then immediately started doing shit that pissed everyone off and was slightly shady. Manny Diaz had that boat party... He's doing the things that brings Miami back, so I'm all in on Manny Diaz.

Manny Diaz was fired after three seasons with a 21-15 record, failing to actually bring Miami back to national prominence.

The Turnover Chain is officially dead because Paul Chryst mocked it

I mean, the turnover chain. Paul Chryst killed it... Real swag is no swag. And he said, 'Turnover chain my ass.' I think when the Wisconsin head coach... says turnover chain my ass, it's over. And they tried it last year and it was weird and awkward. So I think it's over.

The turnover chain persisted for a few more seasons until Mario Cristobal officially retired it in 2022, but its 'cool factor' peaked in 2017/2018 as Big Cat noted.

Jewel was the Rihanna of her time

Jewel was Rihanna before Rihanna. I'll say it. [Big Cat: That strong?] Yeah.

While Jewel was a massive star, her career trajectory and genre (folk-pop) are very different from Rihanna's global pop/R&B mogul status.

Hue Jackson stunk as a head coach

I'm just kind over the Hue Jackson, everyone should feel bad for me, woe is me. You stunk as a head coach. You could be a good offensive coordinator. You stunk as a head coach. I think that's okay to say.

Hue Jackson's winning percentage as a head coach is one of the lowest in NFL history.

The Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich is one of the best sandwiches ever

Unpopular opinion that Popeye's chicken sandwich is good. I'll die on that hill. No, it's really good. And I need to have another one.

While 'best' is subjective, the sandwich was widely critically acclaimed and a massive commercial success.

Max Kellerman did not create the term 'BOAT'

Max Kellerman keeps talking about how he created the BOAT, and it's pissing me off... I think someone in the Barstool World slash Blake [Bortles] created it, and it's been around for five years now, and the fact that Max Kellerman thinks he just made it up on the spot yesterday is driving me insane.

Pardon My Take popularized the term 'The BOAT' for Blake Bortles as early as 2017, long before Kellerman claimed it on ESPN in 2019.

Baker Mayfield is going to be a stud

I got to say, there's this running back named Nick Chubb... And we have Baker actually. By the way, he is going to be... a stud. Oh, a stud.

Baker had a sophomore slump in 2019 but eventually led the Browns to a playoff win in 2020. However, his Browns tenure ended poorly, making 'stud' a debatable long-term label.

In the NFL you must make every kick inside 40 yards or you will be unemployed

In the NFL, you're expected to make everything inside of 40 yards. 10 out of 10. Or you're going to be unemployed. That's a fact. Those are your money kicks.

Field goal accuracy inside 40 yards is consistently over 95% for top-tier NFL kickers; missing these is a primary reason for being cut.

Justin Tucker has the most swagger of any current NFL kicker

Out of all the kickers in the game right now, which one do you think has the most Morton Anderson in them? Swagger? I would say Justin Tucker in Baltimore.

Justin Tucker is widely regarded as one of the most confident and statistically greatest kickers ever.

Zeke Elliott should sit out the entire 2019 season

If I'm Zeke, I'm sitting out the whole season. I got more power to Zeke on this one. Zeke, don't play this year at all.

Ezekiel Elliott did not sit out the season; he signed a massive 6-year, $90 million extension on September 4, 2019.

Aaron Rodgers is a try-hard loser for his Canada Boys outfit

Three years after that joke was funny, and probably like 10 years after that joke was funny, Aaron Rodgers hopped on. Classic. Way to go, dude. You fucking try-hard loser.

Subjective opinion on a player's sense of humor/fashion choice.
