San Diego didn't deserve to have a football team because the weather is too nice there

Fuck you, San Diego. You're a great city, and you didn't deserve to have a football team because it's so nice outside during the fall and the winter time. You know what? You can find a million other things to do.

Subjective opinion about a city's 'deservingness' of a franchise based on weather.

The Chargers moving to LA is like a friend crashing on your couch for a couple years

The chargers didn't even tell the rams they just told twitter... 'whoops hey guys in the rams, we're gonna crash on your couch for a couple years is that okay? ... maybe we'd go halvesies on your apartment ... let us use your stadium. I'll buy you an In-N-Out burger on Friday night.'

The Chargers did indeed share a stadium with the Rams (and briefly played in a soccer stadium) upon moving to LA.

Hiring Sean McVay is the NFL equivalent of a 45-year-old divorcé finding an 18-year-old with fake boobs

It's basically if you're married and you're like 45 years old and you get divorced, the next thing you do is you find an 18-year-old with like fake boobs, no job, that sort of thing... you'd go for the opposite [of Jeff Fisher].

Sean McVay was indeed the youngest hire in history, serving as a total philosophical opposite to Jeff Fisher.

A combined roster of the Rams and Chargers would still not be able to win the AFC South

With a combined roster of the best players from the Rams and the Chargers, could Los Angeles win the AFC South? No.

The 2016 Rams (4-12) and Chargers (5-11) were bad, but a combined team with Rivers, Gurley, and Aaron Donald likely would have won the weak 2016 AFC South (won by 9-7 Texans).

I'm taking the Falcons over the Seahawks because this is Matt Ryan's MVP year

I'm taking the Falcons. I'm laying the points. This is Matt Ryan's year. High-flying offense. Matt Ryan, MVP guy. His year.

The Falcons beat the Seahawks 36-20 in the Divisional Round, and Matt Ryan won the 2016 NFL MVP.

Bill Belichick keeps blackmail files and secret surveillance videos on all his former coaches

I bet you Bill Belichick keeps files, and he not only does that, but he installs videotapes in their homes, he pulls a big Putin move, and he observes them, and he has dirt on all his coaches. Any coach that leaves him, he's got blackmail.

Fact ClaimFootballHotSarcastic
There is no public evidence of blackmail tapes, though Belichick's attention to detail and 'Spygate' history fuel the joke.

Andy Reid is the greatest coach of all time as long as he has a bye week to rest

Andy Reid off a bye is the greatest coach of all time. It's a classic fat guy behavior. You just need to rest a little. Just give me a minute to catch my breath, a week to catch my breath. And I'll mentally be ready.

Andy Reid's record coming off a bye week is historically excellent, though 'greatest coach ever' is subjective.

I'm taking the Packers over the Cowboys because Aaron Rodgers is going to be motivated by how much Dak Prescott loves his family

I'm taking the Packers... But if you read the USA Today article about Dak Prescott... it was him talking about his family. ... He loves his family. ... That is bulletin board material for Aaron Rodgers, right? Oh, Mr. Big Shot with the family. Oh, you talk to the family? ... That's going to piss Aaron Rodgers right off.

The Packers beat the Cowboys 34-31. While the reason is humorous, the outcome was correct.

I would not be buying any stocks right now and would put money into real estate instead

I wouldn't be buying any stock right now. [Put money in] Real estate. Hookers? ... That's a dead end road, dude. I'm over a million in those places. There's no return on anything.

The S&P 500 rose nearly 20% in 2017, making 'not buying stocks' poor advice in hindsight.

Conor McGregor has zero chance of beating Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match

Floyd wants an easy $100 million check. ... Conor McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather, I think it's going to happen. ... [Conor has] 1,000% no chance at all. Floyd wouldn't last 30 seconds [in MMA]... Floyd will last a minute because he'd run for 30 seconds.

The fight occurred in August 2017, and Mayweather won by TKO in the 10th round.

Jim Irsay forgets he owns the Colts and is just doing Twitter giveaways all day

I don't think he is [going to fire anyone]. I think he just forgot he owned the Colts. He's just on Twitter all day. He's just been doing Twitter giveaways every day. He's like, 'hey, Jim, you still own this team? You get to make the decisions.'

OpinionFootballMediumSarcastic
Jim Irsay did eventually fire Ryan Grigson in January 2017, shortly after this episode aired.

The Capitals are regular season heroes who always look awesome in January

And I know not only is the Capitals year, but the Capitals in January, this is when they get hot. This is when they beat teams. You can count on the Capitals in the regular season to look awesome. Caps year. Ovi.

The Capitals won the Presidents' Trophy in 2016-17 but lost in the second round, as was their reputation at the time.
