The Houston Texans might actually be better without J.J. Watt

And we're all have to wonder, are the Texans better without J.J. Watt?

The Texans finished 9-7 and won a playoff game without Watt in 2016, but statistically and historically, the team was always significantly better with the 3-time DPOY healthy.

The great uniter in America is watching Tony Romo look miserable

America can always get behind watching Tony Romo look miserable. That is the great uniter here in America. And we're used to seeing it after he throws a fourth quarter interception... This time it was when they were winning and he was trying to put on that happy face. And it turns out that Tony Romo putting on a happy face is actually the saddest thing you've ever seen.

This is a subjective opinion about public perception of Romo during his career.

If Wisconsin wins out, they will lose to Alabama by 50 in the playoffs

This is a classic year where I start to tell myself, oh, maybe the Big Ten is really going to be back. And then one of those teams, probably Wisconsin, if they can win out, goes to Alabama, plays Alabama, and loses by like 50-7 or something like that.

Wisconsin did not make the 2016 College Football Playoff; they went to the Cotton Bowl and beat Western Michigan. Alabama lost in the championship to Clemson.

We need to bring back the BCS because computers don't have chaos

Computer's fault for ranking these teams too high. We need the BCS back. Is there a bug in the system? You know when there was never chaos? Russians are hacking the BCS system. Never had chaos. I know I agree. Forget that, let's bring it all back.

The BCS has not returned, and the playoff system has only expanded since this take.

Home PAs should trick Russell Wilson by pretending to be the voice of God

Russell Wilson is the kind of guy that you could imagine a PA guy getting on the mic and going, 'Russell, this is God. I need you to throw an interception.' And Russell Wilson would at least consider that might be God... He thinks God talks to him. There are ways that you can exploit that.

This is a satirical hypothetical scenario that never happened.

Every NFL team that passed on Dak Prescott will be draft shamed forever

Dak Prescott has been named the starter. He was drafted 135... You could have had Dak Prescott. And people will remind you every single day... Everyone gets draft shamed now that Dak Prescott is officially the starter and a superstar.

Dak Prescott's status as a 4th-round steal is a recurring talking point in NFL media, especially for teams like the Bears who passed on him.

I don't like Jay Feeley and think he's the worst

I don't like Jay Feeley. I don't like Jay Feeley... I hated him before he got on TV and sounded awful... [He] comes in and goes, 'tough kick here.' Okay, thanks, Jay. 'Yeah, looks like a little wind.' Yeah, way to go, Jay.

This is a personal opinion about a colleague's personality and broadcasting ability.

Andrew Luck apologizing to defenders is a mind game

He says, like, 'good hit.' I think it's a mind game. Keep him friendly. That's what I try to do... Try to keep on the good side. But Andrew's at that point where I need to do that. Andrew doesn't need to do that... Gotta be the only guy in the league that does it.

Andrew Luck's politeness was well-documented by many players, though whether it was a deliberate 'mind game' remains subjective.

Chris Boswell's failed onside kick was an attempt to become a meme

They were doing it to become a meme instead of winning a football game. Bang. Maybe that's the thought. I don't know why you would do it. I don't know why else you would do it... I attempted it a couple of days in practice and thought I'd throw my ACL.

Boswell's kick failed miserably, but his intent (meme vs. strategy) is a matter of interpretation.

Gladiator fights to the death would draw huge ratings

If there were to be actual gladiator fights on television... I'd watch. I think it would draw huge ratings. Like, yeah, fight to the death. Someone's got to die. Someone's got to die... Someone's got to die within 10 minutes. Or else they both die.

While speculative, historical evidence from Roman times and the popularity of combat sports support the idea of high viewership.

Conor McGregor is the most electric athlete in all sports right now

Is Conor McGregor the most electric athlete in all sports right now? I think he is. I actually think he is. He's the one guy in the world where I have to watch everything he does... what Conor McGregor does is not only the fight, but it's after the fight. You have to watch what he says. He's unbelievable.

In 2016, McGregor was arguably the biggest star in sports, winning two belts and leading to the Mayweather fight. It's a matter of opinion but was a dominant sentiment at the time.

Magic Johnson is healthier than LeBron James because he conquered AIDS

I would make the case Magic Johnson might be a little bit more healthy [than LeBron]. Like the guys, he's conquered AIDS. 25 years. But I guess they didn't factor AIDS into this equation. But still.

The take is a joke comparing the ability to survive a once-terminal illness with general athletic longevity. It's not a serious medical comparison.
