I could land a commercial airliner if the pilot became incapacitated

If I got behind the wheel or what the stick of a 737 and I was able to talk to air traffic control, I honestly do believe that I would be able to land a plane. It's pretty simple stuff. It's not rocket science, it's air science.

The difficulty of landing a modern airliner without training is highly debated, but most aviation experts suggest a complete novice would almost certainly crash without previous simulator or flight experience, even with radio help.

Short people are crucial for conserving food and resources on our dying planet

Being short is better for the future... Not only do shorter people tend to live longer, but they're also crucial in conserving food and resources on her dying planet. The short are also inherent conservationists, which is more crucial than ever in this world of 8 billion. So basically if we were 10% shorter, we would save 87 millions of tons of food per year.

Fact ClaimLifeMediumSarcastic
The math behind smaller organisms requiring fewer calories is scientifically sound, though the 'conservationist' label is satirical.

There are wooly mammoth bones and ivory worth millions in the East River

There's a bunch of treasure in the East River... wooly mammoth bones, tusks, ivory. It's treasure. Millions. Billions. The treasure is on East 65th Street next to the FDR Drive in the water... we're gonna try to go get it.

While there is a historical story about bones being dumped there, expeditions (including some after this episode) have failed to find any valuable treasure.

We need less regular season and more playoffs in all sports

Do you know what we need less of? Is the regular season? We need more playoffs in all things. Playoffs aren't the best... Every league is expanding. And I get the argument like, you know, the making the playoffs means less, you're gonna have bad teams, but then when you start the playoffs, there's just more playoffs. And that fucking rules.

This is a subjective preference about sports structures.

Tom Brady is more likely than Aaron Rodgers to go on a deep playoff run this year

Out of the old guys in the NFC, who's more likely to go on a run right now? Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady? [Prisco]: Tom Brady. Because he's at home. I think that matters... At some point Tom Brady's gonna look like Tom Brady. Well, last week he finally did. So what's gonna happen in the first round of the playoffs? Who's going there? The Cowboys. And everybody's gonna sit there and say, oh, they're gonna, the Cowboys they're gonna lose to, to Tom Brady because Tom Brady and his team has figured it out.

Neither went on a run. Rodgers and the Packers lost to the Lions in Week 18 and missed the playoffs. Brady and the Bucs lost in the Wild Card round to the Cowboys 31-14.

Trevor Lawrence will be one of the top 3-5 quarterbacks in the league in a couple years

Trevor Lawrence is gonna be special. He's gonna be a special quarterback. He's gonna be one of the five, six best quarterbacks in this league. Maybe in a couple years he'll be one, two or three. That's how good he can be.

Lawrence has had ups and downs since this take. While he led the Jaguars to a playoff win shortly after this episode, he hasn't consistently been ranked in the top 3-5 by consensus in 2023 or 2024.

Urban Meyer is the worst coach in the history of the NFL

Doug Peterson... had to exercise the demons of the moron that was in front of him. I mean, that's the worst coach in the history in the National Football League. Urban Meyer with his bullhorn and his sophomore high school ways. Gimme a break. That thing was a disaster last year.

While subjective, Meyer is widely cited as one of the worst hires in NFL history due to his 2-11 record and numerous off-field scandals.

Special teams only account for 14% of a football game

It's not a third of the game either. It's a great myth. It's about 14% of the game. Punt the ball out of bounds. Kick the ball out of the end zone. Don't worry about any of that return crap... Make your damn kicks. It's your only damn job.

Based on snap counts, special teams usually make up 15-20% of plays, so 14% is a reasonably close estimate to prove his point.

Lamar Jackson will not get a fully guaranteed contract like Deshaun Watson's

No, you're not gonna fully guarantee. You can give him a lot of guaranteed money... He wants the Deshaun Watson deal. From what I heard and that they're not gonna fully guarantee. The owners in this league don't want to fully guarantee contract. They were all mad that they did that in the first place.

Lamar Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million deal in April 2023 with $185 million guaranteed, but not the fully guaranteed contract he was reportedly seeking like Watson's.

The Minnesota Vikings are frauds

I've said that word [frauds] before and I heard it got back to him and they weren't real happy about it. Look, I I, I've been... just as critical of Kirk Cousins. I, I think there's a glazed look that comes over his face in moments... there's the Look Rick [Spielman], there it is. You can see it.

The Vikings finished 13-4 with a -3 point differential and lost at home in the first round of the playoffs to the Giants, vindicating the 'fraud' label.
