Peter King And Bill Nye Is A Fraud

Friday, November 10, 201711 takes

Color Rush Thursday was on fire with Seahawks lime green jerseys, Russ Wilson's fake concussion and Richard Sherman injury watch ( - ). We imagine what it would be like if Bruce Arians started wearing a G.I.L.I booty suit and NFL Week 10 Picks ( - ). Fantasy Fuckbois gets you ready for the weekend ( - ). Peter King joins the show to explain Jerry Jones and Ezekiel Elliot to us like we're 5 years old and we also ask him what happens when he decides to eat the twitter trash ( - ). Segments include Uhh Ya Think for OJ Simpson, Spinzone for ARod Corp, Hurt or Injured for Vince Carter and Ned Yost, Radio Wars for Mike Felger saying Roy Halladay's death was deserved, Humans vs the Sun and Bill Nye is a Fraud. Emergency Jimbo for Big Cat having another "accident" and the return of Roasts.

The NFL concussion protocol is a farce

The really bizarre one was Russell Wilson basically getting what seemed to be a concussion and then doing like a second in the concussion protocol tent and then going right back out there and then realizing that everyone watched him do that and the whole concussion protocol is a farce.

The NFL later fined the Seahawks $100,000 for failing to follow the protocol properly in this specific instance, validating the claim that the system was bypassed.

Players who airball a three-pointer in the NBA should be sent directly to the bench

Jeff Van Gundy had a Mike Greenberg's Dumb Rules that I fucking love. If you airball a three-pointer in the NBA, you should have to go directly to the bench. Yeah. I love it. It should just be a penalty box or something.

This is a subjective opinion about a hypothetical rule change.

Rudy Gay is the most apathetic star in basketball

There's no one who is as good at basketball but cared less about playing basketball than Rudy Gay. That guy was just so apathetic to who won or lost a game.

This is an unquantifiable opinion on a player's mindset.

Ezekiel Elliott will eventually have to serve his full six-game suspension

I'm assuming, what I've assumed all along, that at some point, Ezekiel Elliott's going to have to serve his six games. I doubt sincerely it's going to go to the Supreme Court. I can't believe the Supreme Court would think this is worth their time.

Ezekiel Elliott eventually dropped his appeal and served the six-game suspension later in the 2017 season.

Jerry Jones's threat to sue the NFL is a smoke bomb to hide his frustration with the national anthem issue

This is one of those things that I'm angry, I'm ticked off, and I'm going to do something about it. And what I'm going to do is threaten to sue... Although the vast majority of people who I know around the league are saying that Jerry was mad before the Ezekiel Elliott thing happened, very hard for me to take seriously the notion that Ezekiel Elliott has nothing to do with his anger and his venom right now.

Jerry Jones did eventually back down from his threat to sue after Goodell's contract extension was finalized, supporting the 'smoke bomb' theory.

Chuck Pagano will be the first NFL coach fired this year

If things continue the way they are, I think probably Chuck Pagano [will be the first to be fired].

Ben McAdoo of the Giants was actually the first coach fired during the 2017 season (on December 4). Pagano lasted until the end of the year.

Hue Jackson will keep his job in Cleveland because ownership wants to end the coaching carousel

I'm one of the few people in our business I really still think that Hue Jackson's going to make it. And I think he's going to make it because I'm going on something that Jimmy Haslam told me... He absolutely unequivocally does not want to continue this merry-go-round.

Hue Jackson remarkably kept his job through a 0-16 season in 2017, only being fired mid-way through the 2018 season.

Josh Gordon will play way more than 1.5 more games in his NFL career

[Josh Gordon games played left over-under one and a half?] Way over one and a half.

Josh Gordon went on to play several more seasons and dozens more games for the Browns, Patriots, Seahawks, Chiefs, and Titans.

Jeff Fisher and Rex Ryan will never coach in the NFL again

[Jeff Fisher and Rex Ryan coaching in the NFL over-under one and a half?] Way under one and a half [for both]. Who's hiring Rex?

As of 2024, neither Jeff Fisher nor Rex Ryan has been hired as a coach in the NFL since their last firings in 2016.

Bill Nye is a fraud who has been catfishing America for 30 years

He's a stand-up comedian that created this character that has no scientific background. Basically, Bill Nye has been catfishing America for the last 30 years. Right. So the fact that he says the sun is hot is further proof that it's cold. I would absolutely conclude that. But he's a proven liar. All he's done his entire adult life is lie to us.

Bill Nye does have a mechanical engineering degree but is often criticized by contrarians for his 'entertainer' background. The 'sun is cold' claim is scientifically false.

Twitter's 280-character limit is too much reading

280 characters is too many, too much reading. I agree. Just reading in general, I think they should have reduced it by half.
