Coach K will win 'Retirement of the Year' again in 2022 because he wants everyone to suck his dick for an entire year

I'm going to say coach K is going to win it this year. And he's going to win next year when he actually does retire because coach K has said that he's going to retire, but he needs everyone to suck his Dick for an entire year before he actually retired.

Coach K retired after the 2021-22 season. He did not win the 2022 Takie for Retirement of the Year (it went to Tom Brady/Sean Payton/etc depending on the year's humor), but the tour certainly happened.

The European Super League would have been sick and a great idea

I honestly kind of missed the idea of the super league. I, again, it's bad. We understand football's a sport. Everything else is a business, but super league would have been sick and low key. Imagine Man City against Barcelona on a Wednesday, like twice a year on a Wednesday that you would have. That's just a great idea. Great idea.

The Super League collapsed within days of its announcement in April 2021. This is a subjective opinion on its potential quality.

I have successfully beaten 'Old Takes Exposed' by blurring the lines of my seriousness

I think I've beaten old takes exposed. We've blurred the line enough where it's like, I don't know if this I'm going to get roasted for an old takes. If I try to old takes Big Cat on them. Right. He's, he, every single time, it's just like, oh, that's just Big Cat making a joke or trying to jinx one of his bets.

Big Cat is frequently featured on Old Takes Exposed, but his 'jinx' defense is a common recurring bit on the show.

The NCAA will be defunct within five years due to NIL and conference realignment

With all the conference realignment and stuff going on and all of the NCAA. And NIL, I think that the NCAA will be defunct within five years. I like it. I liked that. So it was the sec just gonna become the, the NCAA. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what it feels like. That's where is trending anywhere where it's all just money they're taking out the administrative school part of it.

The five-year mark is 2026. While the NCAA still exists, its power has been massively curtailed by court rulings (Alston) and the autonomy of the Power 2 (Big Ten/SEC). It is effectively a shell of its former self, but not literally defunct.

The year 2022 is going to be sick

I think that 20, 22 is going to be sick.

This is entirely subjective. Some people had a sick 2022, others did not.

Waffle House is the best night, breakfast, and drunk food in the world

Let's not shame people that eat at waffle house because now if you're a millionaire, you should still be going to waffle house on a regular basis. It is the best night food. It's the best breakfast and it's drunk food. It's great. Waffle house shrunk waffle house is one of America's finest institutions.

This is a subjective opinion on food preference.

I prefer the easy way out when it comes to championships

I prefer the easy way out. Kinda my thing. I don't know this, and there's a good parody in the Blake via context. And then Brooks being a newcomer. Oh, is he hasn't gotten one yet, but Blake, Blake Bortles has won and, and it's been a, it's been a tough race.

Blake Griffin did indeed join the Nets in March 2021 to chase a ring. This is a subjective humorous statement.

I threw between 3 and 8 touchdowns during Packers OTAs

I also got a new job. Yep. And green bay I threw and give or take four touchdown passes during the OTAs. So have you ever take, three to eight? You pick a number of all right. Somewhere in there under 10.

Bortles was with the Packers in May 2021. OTA stats are not officially tracked or publicly verifiable to this degree, but the wide range makes it likely accurate in his own memory.
