Hard Knocks has successfully made me believe in the Detroit Lions

I'm hopeful for Detroit. I think hard knocks has successfully made me believe in the Detroit lions. Now I I'm going to be probably very wrong about that as anyone who's ever rooted for Detroit lions knows, but I'm at that point where like, yeah, I can see, I can see the lines making some noise.

The Lions finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs in 2022, though they did finish the season very strong, making the take partially right in spirit.

Honolulu blue is an electric shade of blue that doesn't get enough credit

Just as an aside, watching the hard knocks with the lions, Honolulu blue doesn't get enough shoutouts for being a great shade of blue. Like it's always Carolina blue. Yeah. Honolulu blue is electric.

A 9-8 record for the Detroit Lions would be the equivalent of a Super Bowl

If they can get you to believe in the Detroit lines, like even if they just go, if they go nine and eight, that's a super bowl for Detroit. Like what a story that would be.

The Lions actually finished exactly 9-8 in the 2022 season.

Zach Wilson will show out in week 15 because Aiden Hutchinson's mother is attractive

Are the jets playing against the lines this year? Because if so, Zach Wilson is absolutely gonna show out in front of his mom... I'm putting the Bon on Zach Wilson on that one. Cuz I know, you know he's at home. He doesn't have anything else to do. He's he's recovering from surgery. He's watching this episode. He's put a big fat circle in week 15.

Zach Wilson started week 15 against the Lions but threw a critical late interception and the Jets lost 20-17. He did not 'show out'.

PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan overplayed his hand and had zero leverage against LIV Golf

He also overplayed his hand. Yeah, of course. And everyone's like, yeah. Okay. You know what? You know, what's better than, than winning. The fortnight challenge is getting a hundred million guaranteed. So Jay Monahan just needs to be like, listen, I fucked this one up. I'm firing myself... It's a classic case of really overplaying your hand and thinking that you had all the leverage in the world when you actually had zero.

Ultimately correct, as the PGA Tour later agreed to a merger framework with the PIF (LIV's backers), essentially admitting they couldn't beat them financially.

MLB should cover up steroid use for players who are great for the game

David Ortiz was like, they, they just shouldn't suspend him because he's so good at baseball. And he is a face of the game... That's actually that's that makes more sense than what his own dad is doing. David Ortiz is right. It's like, if you're awesome at baseball, they should just cover it up.

NFL Blitz without delayed hits is like porn without nipples

NFL blitz is back. There's they're selling it without delayed hits though. Which is stupid... It's basically selling porn with no nipples. I'm a big time like go woke, go broke guy. Yeah, no one's gonna buy NFL blitz minus late hits. That's the only reason.

While the game sold to collectors, it lacked the cultural impact of the original, supporting the idea that the 'sanitized' version lost its soul.

Shohei Ohtani is on one of the most irrelevant franchises in professional sports

Show Otani has been incredible... And he just completely lost by being on like one of the more irrelevant franchises in all professionals. Like Anahi, there's no reason that nobody cares about Anaheim, right? Like they are a big market. Kind of, they stink.

The Angels failed to make the playoffs again and eventually lost Ohtani to the Dodgers in free agency.

The NFL purposefully scheduled Christmas Day games to screw over NBA markets

NFL is game, right? They did it so that each market is fucked by the NFL... Celtics, Sixers, Nicks, sons nuggets, Lakers, Mavs... Packers are playing bucks. They just fucked. It's it's so great. They just like, oh, here are your top teams that you're gonna use for Christmas day. We're gonna steal 'em.

The NFL's 2022 Christmas tripleheader obliterated the NBA's ratings, proving the strategy was intentional and effective.

Sam Hinkie was too unapologetic about tanking and didn't play the media game well enough

Because [Hinkie] didn't play the game with us, we got more mad at him. Yeah. Like he definitely could have done it and done it a different way. Been better with the media been more open pretended he wasn't really doing it even though everybody like teams are tanking, but we don't wanna be told it. It's fucking crazy. Right? And that's why like it to me is a, is a clear relation to how politicians talk to us.

The Golden State Warriors are going to be even better this season

I think the warriors are gonna be even better. Ooh.

Incorrect. The Warriors finished as the 6th seed and were eliminated in the second round by the Lakers in 2023.

I have zero sympathy for Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving because they don't play in enough games

Sean Marks is the guy when you, you basically were like, Hey sign Deandre Jordan... You're getting everything you want and then you still want everybody fired... Just play in the fucking basketball games. And maybe things will work out... I have no sympathy for any of those guys. Whenever I see anybody on TV being like, well, you know, they could have done a better job with their buy level exception and I'm like, stop fucking talking. It's about one thing the guys don't play in enough games.

Italy will win the World Cup this year

I like Italy this year... America's my second team behind. Behind Italy. I'm gonna root for Italy. I think Italy. I think this is Italy's year... Italy's just too good.

Italy failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup after losing to North Macedonia in the playoffs.

European food is healthier than American food because it is less processed

But because it's non-processed yeah. Is that what's going on? Cuz they're they don't the cigarette thing over there is out of control... I think it's less processed food. I think whenever it, I was, I was teeing you up there. I think the research would tell you is just the service is not what it is here.

Supported by general nutritional studies comparing EU and US food standards.

Parallel parking in a manual transmission car should be an Olympic sport

Parallel parking should be an Olympic sport either. You're good. Or your bad... No old school parallel parking. When you get it in one shot, best feeling in the world. Especially when, like, if you're in a big city... Give him a, a manual transmission too. Yeah. Just watch chaos ensue.
