Cam Newton was never given a decent wide receiver besides Steve Smith in Carolina

Cam Newton like was the Panthers... He also never had a really good wide receiver besides Steve Smith and got screwed out of probably some great years of his prime carrying a bad Panthers team to the Super Bowl in 2015... throwing for 35 touchdowns and running for ten touchdowns... and his wide receivers were Ted Ginn, Devin Funchess, Corey Brown and the 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery. That's incredible.

Newton's receiving corps outside of Greg Olsen (TE) and early Steve Smith was notoriously thin during his prime years, supporting this take.

Cam Newton will sign with the New England Patriots

Patriots number one. I'd still like to see him [in] Chicago, but Patriots number one.

Cam Newton signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots on June 28, 2020.

Jon Gruden will want to sign Cam Newton because he falls in love with every QB he broadcasts

That's a big time Jon Gruden move. I could see Gruden going after [Cam Newton] because Gruden probably fell in love with Cam Newton watching him in the booth on Monday Night Football. That's what Gruden does is if he broadcasts a couple of your games where you play well, he's just like he instantly will fall in love with you.

Cam Newton signed with the New England Patriots, not the Raiders.

John Elway only signs quarterbacks he would want his daughter to marry

John Elway tends to like guys that are like coaches' sons... John Elway tends to like guys that he would set up to marry his daughter. John Elway is the kind of guy that he likes a quarterback that walks in the door and you're like, oh that guy he is a coach on the field.

The Broncos' history of drafting/signing QBs under Elway (Paxton Lynch, Brock Osweiler, Joe Flacco, Drew Lock) heavily favored a specific physical and cultural archetype.

Antonio Gates should have been on the NFL 100 list over John Mackey

John Mackey, if I had to pick, I would take out John Mackey and I put in Antonio Gates... John Mackey didn't even have a thousand yards in his career in any single year... [Antonio Gates] has the most touchdowns at tight end, 116.

Antonio Gates was indeed left off the NFL 100 All-Time team despite being the all-time leader in TE touchdowns at the time.

Dan Orlovsky uses his kids' handprints on footballs to prevent people from trolling him

He is constantly reminding people watching him, hey, if you're going to tweet at me about running out of the back of the end zone, just remember you're doing that to a father of three. His background should just be him like behind the end zone and then to his right should be the end zone... He's just permanently in the back of the end zone when he's on TV.

While satirical, Orlovsky famously leans into his family-man persona as part of his media brand.

Jason Witten is a third-tier all-time tight end

I have Jason Witten in my third or fourth tier of tight ends in the lower pantheon of all time great tight ends... Most of the seasons it's like 600, 700, 900. He is second all-time in tight end receptions, second all-time in tight end yards, but I'm going to throw a flag on that.

Witten is statistically second all-time in most categories, but his ranking among the absolute 'elite' (Gronk, Gonzalez, Gates) is a common point of sports debate.

Hot dog water is a top-four worst type of water

I've got hot dog water. It is the equivalent of juicing a diet. Remnants of bathroom hot dog water... that's the most disgusting thing you've ever said in your entire life.

The ranking of 'worst water' is inherently a comedic opinion.

Dude Perfect is responsible for the coronavirus because their trick shot gong was made in Wuhan

I'm putting Dude Perfect on the hot seat. I don't know if you've seen them recently, but they were showing off the gong that they have in their Dude Perfect warehouse... and it says proudly made in Wuhan right on the big gong there. So many people are asking is Dude Perfect responsible for the stuff that's going on the world.

The take is a comedic conspiracy theory and not literally true.

Alex Ovechkin is arguably the greatest goal scorer ever considering modern goaltending

Gretzky's for me, he's the greatest like what he's done. It's hard to knock that. But Alex Ovechkin is right up there for goal scoring. I'll tell you what, in an era to score as many goals as he does in this era of hockey and the goaltending is ridiculous. This guy is an amazing player.

Ovechkin's adjusted goal totals often lead to analysts calling him the greatest goal scorer in history relative to his era.

Success in hockey comes down to 'playing heavy' and winning stick battles

The way I want to play the game, we need size and strength. Being physical... You can play heavy, it's just winning puck battles. That's what it boils down to. Using your body winning puck bottles, having heavy sticks. That's what I mean by heavy.

This philosophy led the Blues to a Stanley Cup in 2019, proving its validity within his coaching context.
