Mike Zimmer made the correct decision to go for it on fourth down against the Seahawks

We 100% agreed together we watch the game and we said Mike Zimmer. This is a good move. Essentially we didn't even do it in a mass way. We said what do the Seahawks want the Vikings to do they? They want to kick they want the Vikings kick a field goal because they haven't stopped shit all night.

The Vikings failed to convert and lost the game, but the take is a subjective defense of strategy.

The Seahawks defense is so bad that they cannot go deep in the playoffs

Russell Wilson is incredible and maybe when Jamal Adams is out there the Seahawks will look better. But from what I saw. I saw from the Seahawks and watching them. You know, I think we've watched every single one of their games and that defense doesn't get fixed. They can't they can't win a plate like they can't go deep in the playoffs.

The Seahawks finished 12-4 but lost in the Wild Card round to the Rams, essentially proving the 'no deep run' prediction correct.

The Vikings are the 'best worst team' in the NFL

The Vikings are fraudulently bad... They're the best worst team in the league right now. It would not surprise me if the Vikings beat any team in the league.

The Vikings finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs, fitting the 'good bad team' description reasonably well.

The Raiders' victory over the Chiefs was a blueprint game for the rest of the NFL

The first thing that came to my mind when the Raiders beat the Chiefs I said to myself blueprint game... The Raiders got the blueprint from the Patriots and then executed the blueprint and now everyone else has the blueprint which is essentially have the best offensive line in the game run the ball really well make a few big plays.

While the Chiefs lost this game, they went 14-2 and made the Super Bowl, suggesting no real 'blueprint' was successfully replicated to stop them in the regular season.

Defenders are hesitant to hit Patrick Mahomes hard because he is so well-liked

I have a take that I'm working on. It's not ready yet. But essentially if people want to help me with this trying to find some film I think Defenders are not hitting Mahomes as hard as they possibly can because no one wants to be the guy that hurts Mahomes. It feels like when he starts running there are times in a game where he'll scramble. And he'll like they'll almost all agree to give up the play at the same time.

This is a subjective conspiracy theory that cannot be definitively proven or disproven.

The Eagles are going to win the NFC East

If you're an Eagles fan sitting here on Sunday night after week 5, you're you're winning this division. I really do think you're sitting there saying we're in a good spot.

The Eagles finished last in the division with a 4-11-1 record. The Washington Football Team won the division.

Jimmy Garoppolo is worth exactly one point more than Nick Mullens or CJ Beathard

I really don't see the difference between Jimmy Garoppolo and Nick Mullens and CJ Beathard... How many points do you think Jimmy Garoppolo's worth like a starting healthy Jimmy Garoppolo? I'll Point. Yeah, probably a point. Yeah, they're essentially the same quarterback.

Jimmy G was benched in this game and struggled with injuries, but the 'one point' valuation is a subjective Vegas-style estimate.

The Dolphins might make the playoffs with Ryan Fitzpatrick

Imagine if the Dolphins make the playoffs that's just the dolphins with Fitzpatrick make the playoffs. We could only be so lucky... I could see nine and seven might not get them in the AFC so tough.

The Dolphins finished 10-6 but missed the playoffs due to tiebreakers. They also transitioned to Tua Tagovailoa later in the season.

Rafael Nadal is the undisputed GOAT of tennis after his 13th French Open title

Rafa Nadal won the French Open today... 13 Roland Garros titles... Number 13 number 20 overall. I think searching Rafa ended the debate today. You know, he just unquestionable GOAT talk to me in five years.

Nadal eventually won 22, but Novak Djokovic has since surpassed both with 24 Grand Slams, making this take factually dated.

LeBron James is officially the second-best basketball player of all time

I still think MJ's better but like LeBron is incredible. Yeah, he's won four titles. What can you say? ... He's the second best player of all time. That's really nice honesty.

The GOAT debate is entirely subjective.
