Leicester City is a fraud if they don't defend their title

If you don't defend your title, you're a fraud. Let's just put our cards on the table here, Leicester City. If you don't defend your title, you're a fraud.

Leicester City finished 12th the following season, failing to defend their title. In the context of PFT's satirical criteria, they are 'frauds'.

The English Premier League's relegation is the greatest rule in all of sports

The English Premier League has the greatest rule in all of sports with relegation. Every other league should have relegation. The fact that they have relegation trumps all.

This is a subjective opinion about sports rules.

Does LeBron James have the it factor and the clutch gene?

My question is, does LeBron have the it factor? I don't think people are talking about this enough. He's won a couple championships, but the years that he won it, was he really the it guy? Did he really have that clutch gene?

LeBron went on to win the 2016 NBA Finals in historic fashion later that season, proving he had the 'it factor'.

Chris Bosh is a first-ballot Hall of Famer because the Basketball Hall of Fame lets everyone in

The Basketball Hall of Fame lets in basically anyone who played basketball for more than 10 years. So Bosh is a first ballot then. There's really no rhyme or reason... 50% of the basketball world is a Hall of Famer.

Chris Bosh was indeed elected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility (2021).

Chris Webber was definitely betting on the Thunder-Spurs game

Chris Webber, I'm pretty sure Chris Webber was betting on this game because I've never heard anyone so emotionally invested in a game... It was clear that Chris Webber had money on this game.

While Chris Webber's broadcast was highly emotional, there is no public record or proof that he had a wager on the game.

Laremy Tunsil should quit social media and just play ball

Quit social media. Lock yourself away. Just hang with my guy Pouncey down there. Hang with Tannehill. Hang around good guys like that. And you know what? Just do your thing because all that other stuff has nothing to do with football.

Tunsil went on to have a successful Pro Bowl career, largely moving past his draft night controversy.

Kickers and punters are not actual people

Kickers are not people. We can get Pat McAfee on here right now. Kickers are not people. I love kickers. Kickers are my boys, but they are not people. They are kickers. Punters... they're in the same boat.

This is a comedic/subjective take on positional value in football.

Nebraska football is an unsuccessful program if they aren't playing for championships

I want to see them back. I want to see them, you know, if Nebraska isn't playing for national championships, it's an unsuccessful year.

Nebraska has not played for a national championship since Incognito's era, making every year since 'unsuccessful' by his standard.

Jay Glazer is better than Adam Schefter because Schefter is a 'nerd'

Did you pick Jay instead of Schefter because Schefter's a nerd and everyone wants to give him a swirly? 100%. Glazer's the man... Jay has so many relationships. He is so dialed that anything big goes through Jay.

This is a subjective preference for one NFL insider over another.

The Green Bay Packers drafted a serial killer and he's the biggest bust in NFL history

People forget that the Green Bay Packers drafted a serial killer. In 1974, they drafted a legit serial killer. His name is Randy Woodfield... Would you say he's like the biggest bust in NFL draft history?

The Packers did draft Randy Woodfield in the 17th round of the 1974 draft. Calling a 17th-round pick who never played a 'bust' is comedic exaggeration.

Ryan Leaf and Johnny Manziel are bigger busts than a serial killer

I think Ryan Leaf and Johnny Manziel still are bigger [busts].

Steroid users should be allowed to use them as long as they don't work out

I think for steroids, you should be able to use them as long as you don't abuse them... If you use steroids, you can't lift any weights. This is the Pardon My Take 'use it, don't abuse it' rule. If you use it, stay out of the gym.

This is a comedic proposed rule change.

Pablo Sandoval is 'hurt' because he's fat, not 'injured'

I'd say he's hurt. I wouldn't say he's injured. I think his whole body is... he's just so out of shape. He's like, 'ow, I slept on it funny, I'm out for the rest of the season.' That's a fat guy thing. You start making up injuries in your brain.

Sandoval actually required surgery for a labrum tear, which usually qualifies as an 'injury' rather than just being 'hurt'.

Pablo Sandoval will be just as good from the right side as the left side next year

So his right hand is going to be getting a lot of exercise. He's got a wipe, J-O, you name it... flash forward to next season, he might be just as good from the right side as he is from the left. So keep an eye on that.

Sandoval's career continued to decline and he never regained his previous form from either side of the plate.
