Hard Knocks sucks this season

We have watch hard knocks and it sucks. And I don't know what we're doing, but we're here for the people, right? That is our dedication to you.

The 2021 Hard Knocks season with the Cowboys received mixed to poor reviews for being overly focused on Jerry Jones and lacking drama.

Cam Newton is no longer a starting-caliber quarterback

I don't think he's a starter. He wasn't a, he wasn't good enough to be a starter. I mean, he was a starter last year, but he wasn't, he didn't play like one for the majority of the year. I objectively think cam Newton's good anymore. He objectively was bad for the majority of last season.

Newton struggled to find a consistent starting role after being cut by New England, briefly returning to Carolina but failing to reclaim his former MVP form.

Cam Newton would still be on the Patriots if he were vaccinated

I think if cam Newton was vaccinated, he'd still be on the team.

While Bill Belichick denied the vaccine played a role, many analysts noted that Newton's absence due to protocols allowed Mac Jones to secure the starting job.

Dan Campbell is bridging the gap between meatheads and analytics by going without a kicker

What I love about this, I absolutely love this about what Dan Campbell is doing. He's like accidentally proving, you know what horseshoe theory is and politics that the far left and the far right. Are exactly the same. He's doing that with meat heads and analytics people like he's going to go for two every time without a kicker.

OpinionFootballMediumSarcastic
The Lions did eventually sign a kicker, but Campbell became known for being one of the most aggressive fourth-down coaches in NFL history.

The Wisconsin Badgers will be very good this season

Badger's going to be good this year and that that's me. Just probably reading, ready for a fucking, you know, sword in my heart on Saturday afternoon. But I actually do think they're going to be very good.

Wisconsin finished the 2021 season 9-4, which is a decent but not elite season by their standards.

Mets fans are really mad at Francisco Lindor, not Javier Báez

Javi Baez is actually not the one that I don't. I don't think Mets fans are actually mad at Harvey because Harvey is a rental. This is all Francisco Lindor. He signed a 10 year, 300 plus million dollar contract. He's ABI by his best friend. He's been doing the thumbs down. That's the guy that I think Mets fans are truly mad at.

This sentiment was widely shared among sports media and Mets fans during the controversy.

Coach Prime is objectively better than Hard Knocks

Coach prime. It's like a Barstool version of hard knocks. Deion Sanders, Jackson state. It's out now. It's better than hard knocks objectively. No bias.

This is entirely subjective, though the Deion Sanders era at Jackson State was highly compelling content.

Jake Paul used performance enhancing drugs for the Tyron Woodley fight

It came out that there was no drug testing for that fight. Jake Paul probably wrote it up. I didn't want to say anything, but in Caleb's interview you can see acne right around is like, just really bad. But what about his nipples? Anyone can see their ConEd.

While there were rumors about lack of testing, Jake Paul has never failed a drug test for a fight.

Tommy Fury is a terrible boxer despite his looks

Tommy fury is the most attractive man in the world and a terrible boxer. That's that's my, I think he'd fuck Jake Paul up. I don't, I, I don't think so. He fought someone who was like eight inches smaller than him. And he wasn't able to knock [him out].

Tommy Fury actually defeated Jake Paul in February 2023, though many still critique his technical boxing skills.

I am officially never drafting a Cleveland Brown again

I actually, I broke up with the Browns I'm will no longer be drafting Browns. I understand that [they have a talented roster]. And listen, you're going to find out with a lot of my tics. That's where I go wrong is that I quit them right before they become... it's like breaking up with someone just before they [get rich].

The 2021 Browns finished 8-9 and were a disappointment in fantasy, making this a locally 'correct' strategy for that season.

Never draft a Bears kicker

I will say this never draft the bears, kicker ever. As long as you live ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, ever. It's the moose. It's what will ruin a team. It will bring down, it will bring down family. It will bring down dynasties.

OpinionFootballMediumSarcastic
Cairo Santos actually became very reliable for the Bears, though Jerry's rule is more about the 'curse' than individual stats.

The Buccaneers will repeat as Super Bowl champions

I'm probably going to pick them to win it again. I can't think of a reason not to. You definitely have to pick them to get there out of an NFC that isn't nearly as top as heavy as the AFC. The question is, can they win against the best team that the AFC has to offer?

The Buccaneers lost to the Rams in the Divisional Round of the 2021 playoffs.

Darnell Mooney is a sleeper for the 2021 season

Dan Darnell Moni with the Chicago bears, they got, obviously knows all about him fast. If Justin Fields take the rain sooner, rather than later, I think that offense is good enough to maybe have two relevant wide receivers.

Mooney had a breakout year in 2021, recording over 1,000 receiving yards.

You should kiss your boss to avoid work talk on the golf course

Just try to kiss him in the middle of your round and be like, I always get horny when I play golf. And then he'll never invite you something about the holes. Either and if, and if they don't give it to you lean in for a kiss and then if they kiss, you just say sexual harassment or 50% raise, ask for the kiss.

This is satirical advice and would likely lead to termination, not a raise.
