Morning international games ruin the day for functional human beings

When you have the morning game, it fucks up your entire day as a functional human being. You wake up early, you can't do anything because you're watching the football game. And then guess what? When that football game's over, you have to watch another football game. Roger Goodell hates church.

The impact of morning games on productivity is subjective.

The Steelers offense is for real now that Aaron Rodgers is getting the ball out fast

Steelers offense actually looked for real. Maybe this is what the Steelers offense is going to be, is Aaron Rodgers getting the ball out insanely fast. I think I saw the stat, it was 2.17 seconds to throw. He just was whipping it around. It didn't matter because the Steelers' offense looked better than it has in a while.

Whether an offense is 'for real' is a season-long judgment.

Mike Tomlin absolutely lives in his fears despite his favorite catchphrase

Mike Tomlin, one of his favorite quotes to say is, 'we don't live in our fears.' Bullshit, dude. You do live in your fears. You had a fourth and maybe a half a yard on the opponent's 39 yard line and you punted. Everyone in the world is going for this. Just maybe go for it.

This is a subjective assessment of a coach's philosophy versus his actions.

Jalen Hurts is in the elite company of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers with 18 straight wins

Jalen Hurts has now won 18 straight games that he started and finished. And the only other guys who've done that are Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and now Jalen Hurts.

This stat refers to Hurts' regular season winning streak as a starter.

It should be illegal for the Eagles to run fake tush pushes

I think that should be illegal for the Eagles to do. Leave the real tush push, they should not be allowed to do fakes. It's just like an ethics code. You are better than everyone at the tush push. Do the tush push. Don't do the fake tush push. That's almost cheating in my eyes.

The legality of a play is a matter of league rules, but the take is a suggestion for a change.

The future is now for the Giants with Jackson Dart and Abdul Carter

If you're a Giants fan, you gotta be pretty pumped about this win because you're like, holy shit, this defense might be legit and we might have a quarterback. Abdul Carter said it after the game. He said, 'the future is now' talking about him and Jackson Dart.

The long-term success of the Dart/Carter era is yet to be determined.

James Cook is an elite running back who needs more respect

I just wanna respect James Cook more. Since the start of last season, including playoffs, James Cook has 2093 total yards from scrimmage and 26 touchdowns. He has a touchdown in eight straight games this season. He's awesome. I just love watching him run.

Cook's statistical performance is verified; his 'respect' level is subjective.

Drake Maye has signs of playing better in year two than Tom Brady did

We got a long ways to go, but [Drake Maye] has signs, he plays better in year two than Brady did. Year two was a Super Bowl win, but he wasn't lighting it up as the quarterback.

Directly comparing a young QB to the GOAT is almost always incorrect in the long run, though Maye's 2025 stats may be better than 2001 Brady's.

The Patriots are the best team represented on the show

Best team on this show. [Patriots]. If we win Sunday? Yeah. Eagles have a hard schedule. I ride with my guys.

Hot TakeFootballFireSarcastic
Comparing the Patriots to the 4-0 Eagles is highly debatable and likely biased.

The Lions are a scary, complete football team

Lions 34, Browns 10. This is why the Lions are so scary. Because this was such a let down spot... Browns have a good defense. Doesn't matter. They'll just fucking work you and work you with their defense. Work you with their offense. The Lions are a complete football team.

The Lions' completeness will be judged by their postseason success.

The Colts beat themselves in a win-and-loss paradox against the Rams

Can we still say the Colts are undefeated because they beat themselves? But they did get a win and also still a loss. They're four and one right now because they beat themselves... The Colts had 10 players on the field. You can't beat yourself more than what the Colts did today.

OpinionFootballMediumSarcastic
Logically, they lost the game. The 4-1 claim is a joke.

The Ravens will win their division despite starting 1-3

I actually think that the Ravens are gonna make the playoffs. I think they're probably gonna win that division too. I don't think that's even that hard of a take.

The Ravens' divisional outcome is pending.

The Ravens are no longer Super Bowl contenders

I'm more saying I'm done with the Ravens in terms of like being a Super Bowl contender. I think they'll go to the playoffs, but I just don't... I feel like their flaws just keep coming up. I officially moved the Ravens into my 'Do not trust this team, do not believe their lies' [category].

If the Ravens don't make or win the Super Bowl, this is correct.

Sunday Night Football ties should be illegal

Sunday night football ties should be illegal. You have to end the day with a winner and a loser. I demand satisfaction to end the night. I need a winner and a loser.

The legality of ties is a rule choice; the take is a value judgment.

Team Europe won the Ryder Cup because they actually like each other

I just feel like Team Europe, they like each other way more. Definitely. And it actually matters in this type of tournament... They were embracing like a guy coming back from war. It just felt like our guys... it felt contrived. I just don't think our guys care or like each other.

Chemistry's impact on a golf tournament is inherently subjective.

If you care about the Super Bowl halftime show, you're not a football guy

I'll say it. If you have a hot take, a really strong opinion about the Super Bowl halftime show, you're not a fucking football guy. You showed yourself. You're an anti-football pussy. You gotta watch film at halftime. You gotta figure out what to bet in the second half.

Definition of a 'football guy' is subjective and satirical.

The Mets are spineless pussies who couldn't get it done

The Mets are just a bunch of spineless pussies and they just couldn't get it done. Pete Alonso was out the door before the game ended. They're gonna get their teeth kicked in by the Dodgers.

The Mets' spinelessness is a character judgment; their performance against the Dodgers is pending.
