DK Metcalf's muscles are too big and cause him to drop footballs

DK [Metcalf] dropped another touchdown catch, and we're beginning to think he might have a problem, that maybe his muscles are too big and they push the shoulder pads out. The ball hits the shoulder pads. He can't make body catches.

Metcalf has had occasional drop issues, but he remains an elite receiver; the muscle-bound theory is purely comedic.

A smart NFL team should hire Cam Newton as a specialist for two-point conversions only

What a smart team should do is they should just hire Cam Newton to be their all-time two-point conversion quarterback. Go for two guy. Go for two every single time, snap the ball directly to him, and he either runs... or he does a jump pass. Cam Newton is probably the best short yardage football player of all time.

Cam Newton was indeed used by the Panthers later in his career specifically for short-yardage/red-zone packages, though never exclusively as a two-point specialist.

Doug Pederson has officially entered the process of being fired

Doug Pederson has officially started the process of getting fired. And I say that because Doug Peterson said afterwards he prides himself on calling plays. But for the first time, he's mentioned that a change in play caller could be on the table.

Doug Pederson was fired by the Eagles on January 11, 2021, just over a month after this take.

Carson Wentz should fake a knee injury to preserve his career and sit out the rest of the season

If I were Carson Wentz, I would just fake an injury right now. I'd take the coward's way out... and be like, oh, my knee, it hurts. Oh, I have COVID. Oh, I got to sit out. And just... be like, next year we'll start fresh... just do a full flush, fake knee injury.

Wentz didn't fake an injury, but he was benched shortly after for Jalen Hurts and then traded to the Colts in the off-season.

Bill Walton's commentary only works at 11:00 PM; he is 'exposed' during daytime games

The problem is it's in the middle of the day. Bill Walton is exposed when he's in the middle of the day. It's usually 11 o'clock at night... and it's pretty much just you and Bill Walton. Right now, the whole world's kind of watching because it's sports during the day... we've got to get him off of this daytime slot.

This is a media critique and subjective, but many fans do associate Walton with the 'Pac-12 after dark' slot.

RG3 will definitely get injured during his start for the Ravens against the Steelers

RG3, we talked about this before the show. RG3 is absolutely going to get injured. I hope that he doesn't. But, I mean, I've never been so confident.

Robert Griffin III did indeed suffer a hamstring injury during the game and was placed on injured reserve shortly after.

Fraser Fir is the only acceptable Christmas tree; do not buy Douglas Fir or Spruce

Bottom line is get yourself a Fraser fir. Don't go for Douglas fir. Don't let them talk you into a fucking spruce. Worst of all, go with a Fraser fir as a former Christmas tree salesman, I can tell you. Actually, no one's ever a former Christmas tree salesman. For life.

The quality of a Christmas tree is subjective, though Fraser firs are widely regarded for needle retention.

Using aluminum foil on a grill is a mistake because you lose the 'fire' flavor

I like my steaks to stay juicy... but I've since been told that I need to sacrifice that to be able to get that true grill flavor. That was the last day I used aluminum foil ever. But that was my thought. But apparently it was a flawed thinking.

Most grilling experts agree that foil prevents the smoky char associated with grilling.

The best movies must tickle your funny bone, tug on your heartstrings, and blow your mind

In my opinion the best movies do three things: tickle your funny bone, tug on your heartstrings, blow your mind... any time a movie kind of leaves you laughing and crying and kind of makes you think too – I mean, I don't know how you beat that.

Cinematic quality is subjective.

World Chase Tag is a superior concept to Parkour and should be an Olympic sport

I want a sport where if you tag a guy, there you go. Where there's a winner and there's a loser... It's basically parkour, but with an element of tag. That's an Olympic sport... This sport, this tag sport, is ten times the sport of handball.

Tag is not an Olympic sport, and parkour was not added to the 2024 Paris Olympics (though it was considered).

You cannot know if a relationship is a 'rebound' until it actually ends

I think you don't know that it's a rebound until afterwards. In the middle of a rebound, it just feels cool... so a rebound could always be just a put-back dunk until you hit the ground. So you haven't hit the ground just yet, so it's impossible to know how to score it.

This is a philosophical observation on dating.
