Noah Lyles is the Hater of the Year for his comments on the NBA

Noah Lyles... might have to do that as a Takey Hater of the Year. Because he was the one who before the Olympics said, you don't win a world championship if you win the NBA championship. That's not the world... He definitely got cut playing basketball. He's got some very deep seated anger for any ball sport.

Hater of the Year is a show-specific award; Lyles remained a polarizing figure throughout 2024.

Watching Caleb Williams play made me realize Mitch Trubisky and Justin Fields were never the guys

Watching Caleb Williams play quarterback made me feel like the dumbest person in the entire world forever thinking that Mitch Trubisky and Justin Fields were the guys. 'Cause it looks so different. I know it's preseason. I know it was only a few plays, but it just looks different. He's confident, poised, reading the defense.

This is a subjective realization of personal feeling, though Caleb Williams' success relative to the others will determine if the comparison holds.

Jayden Daniels reminds me of rookie RG3

My own experience watching Jayden [Daniels] on Saturday... that one throw he had oh, so sick... He reminds me of RG3 in the RG3 good times. It's been 30 years since I've had a quarterback that for longer than like 10 weeks I could really root for and really think this is the guy.

Comparison is subjective, though early results for Daniels have been positive.

Joe Milton should have been a top 10 pick and is a sixth-round steal

Number one I had Joe Milton. 'Cause Joe Milton is fucking awesome... History repeats itself. That guy, how did that guy last until the sixth round? That guy should have been top 10. Patriots get a six round steal.

Milton eventually made the roster but did not start over Drake Maye or Jacoby Brissett, making the 'steal' status highly questionable.

LeBron James could play in the NBA until he is 50 if he wanted to

I think he could play another five years... If he embraced being like, I'm not gonna be LeBron James, but I'm gonna play till I am like not good enough to play in the NBA. I think it'd be 10 years... LeBron, if he wanted to play basketball at 50 years old, could probably make an NBA roster.

LeBron is currently 39; this will take over a decade to resolve.

LIV Golf should allow all steroids and make the tour totally rule-free

I was shocked to know that Liv had a steroid policy... You have no rules. You play golf with shorts. They should, if you're the Liv Tour, make everything legal. Have it be steroids, but golf. Tackling. Yes. And a football and pylons.

Hot TakeGolfScorchingSarcastic
LIV Golf has not adopted a pro-steroid policy.

The 2024 Rams won't predict their record but aim to win more than they lose

We're gonna try to win a whole lot more than we do lose... As far as predicting the record, I got no idea for you. Every year is a brand new brand new year. If you would've told me last year we're gonna be three and six at the bye, I would've told you you're crazy... then we went seven and one after that.

The Rams' record will be determined at the end of the 2024 season.

Manny Ramirez is a Mt. Rushmore steroid user for getting caught with female fertility drugs

I'll take Manny Ramirez. The way he got caught was very funny... he was taking like a female fertility drug. They had a system to kind of get by the testing that was foolproof. Manny Ramirez just forgot and like took it on the wrong day. Came in, got tested, got busted.

Ramirez's suspension for HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a matter of record.

LeBron James is on steroids because of his size and longevity

I will go with LeBron James. I mean, how is he not on steroids? That big. I'm not throwing a flag. That's probably an honorable mention. I mean there's, that's probably an honorable mention.

There is no public evidence or failed tests to support this claim, making it purely speculative/incorrect in a factual sense.

Secretariat was definitely on steroids

I'm gonna take Secretariat. Some would say the the greatest athlete of all time. But its heart was like three times too big. We've documented that tirelessly on this show. Secretariat definitely on steroids. Randy Moss, white, Randy Moss agreed. Chances are very, very high.

OpinionRacingHotSarcastic
Secretariat's large heart was attributed to the 'X-factor' gene in an autopsy, not steroids, though the claim is a show staple.
