Dan Orlovsky had the worst sports take of the year on Mac Jones

The winner for the 2024 Take of the Year Takey is Dan Orlovsky. Dan Orlovsky incredible saying he believes Belichick will win another Super Bowl with Mac Jones at QB. Mac Jones is the best rookie QB that I have ever seen since doing this job when it comes to knowing where to go with the football, when to go with the football, and how to throw that football.

Mac Jones was traded to the Jaguars to be a backup after failing as the Patriots' starter; he is definitively not a Super Bowl winning QB with Belichick.

The NFL should limit players to 16 games in an 18-game season

18 game season, every player can only play a maximum of 16 games. I like it in theory because it just, it's chaos. It's a wrinkle, would be strategery would be awesome.

This is a hypothetical rules proposal.

If Taylor Swift takes over Sundays, I need to see a sex tape

If Taylor Swift is gonna be taking over our Sundays, I'm gonna need to see a sex tape. These are my demands at Pardon My Take.

The 'demand' was clearly satirical and not a literal expectation of outcome.

Rory McIlroy will never win another major

I don't think [Rory McIlroy] is ever gonna win a major. I don't think so either. He's gonna be one of those guys that you look back on and you're like, Colin Montgomery.

This is a career-long prediction; until Rory retires or wins one, it stays pending.

WNBA Finals will be the third most-watched sport in the fall

The finals of the WNBA specifically will have the third most ratings in the fall. So behind college football and the NFL. There needs to be a third place. And WNBA finals will surpass the NBA opening, will surpass the NHL and it'll be the third most watched sport. It'll battle the World Series and it will be three.

Ratings for the 2024 fall season will determine if the WNBA Finals can actually beat the World Series or major league openings.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will get engaged followed by a bad album

My preemptive take of the year is that Taylor Swift and Travis [Kelce] are going to get engaged. And then she's going to put out a terrible album. Because she's happy and she doesn't have any boyfriends to complain about. And then all her fans are going to start to hate her because her music sucks because she's happy with her personal life.

The relationship is ongoing; no engagement or subsequent album release has occurred yet to verify the quality claim.

I'll bet my life that Hank will dunk

I believe Henry Lockwood is going to dunk. No, I actually 100% believe you're gonna dunk. Because you've been working out a lot. You've been training a lot.

Hank has not yet produced video evidence of a clean dunk on a 10-foot rim.

The Patriots will have more combined wins than the Bears and Commanders

My preemptive take of the year is that Drake Maye in New England [Patriots] are going to have more combined wins than the Washington football team and Chicago Bears.
