Derek Carr is extremely awkward on Hard Knocks

Hard Knocks is back. Derek Carr is awkward as fuck... It's very clear that the message the Raiders are trying to send is Derek Carr is our quarterback, and we're going to give him a lot of air time, and we're going to show how tough he is, including bullying his two young kids to fight in the living room while they're playing basketball. That felt scripted.

Subjective opinion on a TV portrayal.

Jon Gruden will prevent anything interesting from being shown on Hard Knocks

It's very obvious that Jon Gruden is not going to let them show anything that's remotely interesting. We just have to hope for next week with Sean McVay trying to out-Gruden Jon Gruden.

The season was generally viewed as less explosive than expected despite having AB and Gruden, though some moments like the feet injury were notable.

Antonio Brown used his kids on Hard Knocks to rehabilitate his public image

Antonio Brown, I forgot about this part. Starting the entire Hard Knocks episode, basically trying to erase the fact that he went crazy for three months and every teammate of his in Pittsburgh hated him by showing us how cute his kids are. They're very cute. And you know what? It worked. It absolutely worked.

Subjective observation of media strategy.

Rich Paul is a great disruptor for challenging the NCAA establishment

The NCAA has created a new rule... any agent that wants to talk to a player... has to have a bachelor's degree. Rich Paul does not... As much as it pains me to say this, I love it. Because I love people who make the establishment super nervous. The NCAA has been just milking everyone forever. Having a disruptor in there... is great for everyone because NCAA will have to change if Rich Paul keeps disrupting.

The NCAA eventually rescinded the bachelor's degree requirement following public backlash, proving Paul's influence as a disruptor.

Kobe Bryant being ranked 13th for the 2010s decade is fair

There was the all-decades list for the 2010s and Kobe was 13 on it, which I honestly think is like fair... If you're looking at the whole decade, his body of work over the 2010s is not like [first team].

The NFL 100 logo is terrible and looks like it belongs to an expansion league

My hot seat is the NFL 100 logo. I'm already sick of it... It's not that cool of a logo to begin with, but they've put it everywhere so far this year... It looks a little bit like an Expansion League football logo... like the AAF logo if it was designed by somebody with a head wound.

Michael Crabtree didn't sign with the Cardinals because he feared Aqib Talib

My cool throne is Michael Crabtree. So Michael Crabtree decided not to sign with the Arizona Cardinals yesterday... It would have been a terrible move for him because he would have had to play against Aqib Talib twice. Oh, he didn't want that chain snatched. Yeah, the Dunn chain was about to hang over his neck, and Aqib Talib was about to swipe it off.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
While funny, Crabtree eventually did sign with the Cardinals later that August and played against Talib's Rams, so the 'thanks but no thanks' didn't stick.

Feral hogs are a legitimate national problem that needs to be addressed

Someone brought up a very actually the the like the most fair point that's ever been brought up he was like what about the 30 to 50 feral hogs that run in my backyard and terrorize my children... apparently they're a real problem they just run and just they will kill you they're mad they're insane so we need to do something about the feral hogs.

Feral hogs are indeed a major invasive species and agricultural problem in many US states, particularly Texas.

Melted cheese is the ultimate cheese hack for any food

Any type of cheese, if you melt it on top of something, makes it instantly better. I will go with melted. Just melted.

Nacho cheese is better the more unrealistic and neon it looks

I'm going to go with nacho cheese... I love it the more unrealistic the cheese is. Like the more yellow, the like neon yellow color you get with stadium nachos. Love that shit... like the radioactive goo.

Goat cheese is 'chick cheese' and not for guys

Goat cheese? Are you kidding me? That's chick cheese, bro. I disagree. That's a big time chick cheese.

The Ticonderoga Number 2 is the standard for coaching pencils

We're definitely a Ticonderoga number two. That's our standard right now. Never deviate from that... It's really just a good writing utensil.

Patricia was consistently seen with this specific brand and type of pencil during his tenure.

Tom Brady selling his home is 'Trouble in Paradise' for the Patriots

Tom Brady. He is putting his house up for sale, which is always sign number one that he might be the new coach of Alabama... Anytime any celebrity gets involved in selling their house, you have to connect that dot just a little bit. It's kind of weird.

While the Alabama part was a joke, Brady did leave the Patriots the following March, making the house sale a legitimate omen.

MLB's black and white jerseys are heinous but a genius marketing move

Way to stay relevant baseball. It's Players Weekend, and they have the new jerseys... This year... Straight black and white. I actually think this is a genius move by baseball. They're heinous, the jerseys. But genius move to get everyone to talk about them.
