Baker Mayfield has a broken hand

Baker's hand might be broken. That's why he's not playing so well... Are you reporting that Baker Mayfield might have a broken hand? From sources.

Fact ClaimFootballHotSarcastic
Mayfield did suffer a hand injury on Dec 1, 2019, later in the season, but there was no broken hand at the time of this episode (Nov 8).

The Steelers will make the playoffs

You were addicted to saying that the Steelers are going to make the playoffs. Oh, I'm still... I put them in my can't-lose program.

The Steelers finished the season 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

Pat Shurmur's days are numbered as Giants head coach

So there is precedent here when the Giants coach says they are built for losing, their days are numbered. Ben McAdoo, three weeks before he was fired from the New York Giants, talking about losing, I'm built for this.

Pat Shurmur was fired by the Giants on December 30, 2019, at the end of the season.

LSU will beat Alabama outright

I think LSU is going to, at bare minimum, score a touchdown for the first time in three years. I agree with that. And then I think they're going to win... I think they're going to win outright.

LSU defeated Alabama 46-41 the next day.

James Harden plays worse in cities with high-quality strip clubs

A person on Reddit did a deep dive... and came to the conclusion that if James Harden is in a city with an above-average strip club, he has a bad performance on the court... Credit to him for doing the research. And it shows a statistical correlation.

While it was a real analysis posted to Reddit that gained massive traction, it is a spurious correlation used for comedy.

The most important people to recruit in a living room are the mom and grandma

It's mom and grandma. There's no doubt about that now... They want to know the man in charge, is he going to make sure that he's in good hands?

This is a subjective expertise-based opinion on recruiting strategy.

Smart and tough players play in the NFL for a long time

Smart guy, tough guy. Smart guys, tough guys generally can play football for a long time.

The Buffalo Bills are fraudulent because their run defense is weak

Buffalo... you can run on that defense. So I'm going to be interested to see this weekend if the Cleveland Browns can help support Baker Mayfield by running the football a little bit on the Buffalo Bills defense.

The Bills finished the season 10-6 and made the playoffs, though they did lose to the Browns that weekend 19-16.

Christian McCaffrey will run all over the Packers

I think Christian McCaffrey is going to be able to run all over that team. They rank as one of the worst run defenses. This is the easiest run defense that he will have faced all year.

McCaffrey had 108 rushing yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, plus 33 receiving yards, though the Panthers lost the game.

Kirk Cousins performs worse in late kickoffs because he is a creature of habit

I think he's [Kirk Cousins] something like 8-22 when he plays an 8 or a 4:25 kick or later... He must be like super anal, like has this great routine, really comfortable with a 1 o'clock start. But once you get into like the later timeframes, he's just not as comfortable.

The Cousins primetime/late game record has been a long-standing statistical trend throughout his career.

The Steelers offense has no confidence in Mason Rudolph

They came out with the wildcat... to me that speaks of we don't have a lot of confidence in this guy... they spent our time teaching our running backs to throw the football in this Wildcat grouping... the team doesn't have a lot of confidence in him.

Rudolph was eventually benched for Duck Hodges later in the 2019 season.
