Michigan was the best team in college football this year by a large margin

Washington fans, as much as it sucks right now, I just wanna say this, Michigan was always gonna win that game. That is what Michigan does... I really truly believe Michigan was the best team by a large margin in college football this year.

Michigan finished 15-0 and won the championship, validating their claim as the best team.

College football is ultimately about who is the best at cheating

I also think this proves that cheaters win, like in the, in the long term, everybody cheats. All right. This is not just Michigan. Every school, every major school in the country, they cheat in certain ways... college football is about who is the best at cheating. And Michigan was really fucking good at cheating.

The take is subjective and satirical in nature regarding the culture of college athletics.

Firing Mike Vrabel was a stupid move by the Titans

Mike Vrabel fired by the Titans. I don't know, I think that's a really stupid move by the Titans... Mike Vrabel has had insane amounts of success with Ryan Tannehill as quarterback. Find me another coach could get the, or Ryan Tannehill to the AFC championship game.

It is an opinion on a coaching move, though Vrabel was a highly sought-after free agent coach (though he didn't land a head coaching job immediately).

Cutter Gauthier is a 'pussy' for refusing to play for the Flyers

That guy's a cutter's a pussy. That's a, that's a fact. Because... he told Philly that he wanted to play for Philly and then change his mind two months later.

This is a purely subjective insult based on sports fandom.

I'm out on Boeing airplanes until the safety issues are addressed

Boeing airplanes... had an explosive decompressor at 16,000 feet... So if it's, I don't know what kind of flights we have planned soon. But if it's Boeing, I ain't going. I'm out. I'm out on Boeing anytime soon.

Safety concerns regarding Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft led to temporary groundings, justifying the concern.

NBA officiating in the Celtics-Pacers game was 'very questionable' after reversing a clear foul

Last night against the Pacers... Jalen Brown had a game tying shot attempt that they call the foul. They reviewed the tape, he clearly got hit in the head. They reversed it, gave the pacers the ball back... very questionable. Very, very questionable.

The NBA L2M report later confirmed that Buddy Hield should have been called for a foul on Jaylen Brown.

The Rams visiting the Lions has 'upset' written all over it

The Rams. The Rams coming to Detroit because... this game to me has upset written all over. And I think because of the way the Rams are playing... Matthew Stafford is under center, a lot of play action... they've got enough to go carve you up.

The Lions defeated the Rams 24-23, so the upset did not happen, though it was extremely close.

The Eagles offense has become 'very predictable' and lacks answers for pressure

I feel like if I was playing defense against the Eagles, that I would just be calling their plays out... they're just very predictable... When they came after him [Jalen Hurts]... they had no answer... their answer is Jalen getting outta the pocket and scrambling and running, which was a disaster last week.

The Eagles were subsequently blown out by the Buccaneers in the Wild Card round, largely due to an inability to handle the blitz, confirming this analysis.

Jim Harbaugh is definitely leaving Michigan for the NFL after winning the title

Oh, he is gone. He's gone. He's going to win a Super Bowl championship. It's already, like, his mind's already, like they might celebrate today and have some fun in Ann Arbor. They should, but I think he's on his way to the NFL.

Jim Harbaugh accepted the head coaching position with the Los Angeles Chargers on January 24, 2024.
