A-Rod is breaking up with J-Lo just for the clout

I feel like A-Rod is breaking up just for the clout these days.

The breakup was real, but the 'clout' motivation is a matter of interpretation of his public-facing grieving.

LaMarcus Aldridge is not a Hall of Famer

[Speaker 2]: is LaMarcus Aldridge a Hall of Famer? [PFT Commenter]: Nah. Hang on, hang on. Let me just be strong.

Aldridge is currently retired and not yet inducted; his eligibility and induction are still pending.

If you don't listen to Coldplay, you're a loser

I'm going to say this right now. People bash Coldplay. I guarantee you. Like, if you don't listen to Coldplay, you're a loser.

This is entirely a matter of taste.

J-Lo should buy the New York Mets as an all-time flex on A-Rod

You know what would be an all-time flex if J-Lo went out and she bought the New York Mets? If she invested in it.

J-Lo did not buy the Mets; Steve Cohen remained the owner.

You should be allowed to do anything to break up a no-hitter, but you must accept getting hit by a pitch the next day

My opinion on no hitters and perfect games, I think you should get to do anything to try to break it up, but you also should get to throw it at their head the next day.

This is a proposed rule/opinion on sports etiquette.

Trevor Lawrence does not actually like football

[Trevor Lawrence] actually doesn't like football, which means that he's never fought to keep playing football. And he's going to get to a point in the NFL for the first time in his life where he's never had to play hard to keep playing football.

Lawrence has played several years in the NFL as a starter, showing durability and commitment, though debate about his 'elite' status continues.

A long-haired quarterback has never won a Super Bowl

I don't get the whole Jesus complex thing. When was the last time a long-haired quarterback won a Super Bowl? I can't think of one.

Aaron Rodgers had somewhat long hair (for a QB) when he won, though they debate this in real-time. Later, Patrick Mahomes (curls) and others have had non-traditional short hair, but 'shoulder length' as PFT defines it remains rare for winners.

The Cleveland Browns are my pick to win the Super Bowl because they have three former #1 overall picks

The Browns are now officially, if I had to pick a Super Bowl winner today, it would be the Browns just because they have three number one overall picks in the last five years. ... Miles Garrett, Baker Mayfield, and Clowney. ... That right there just tells me from my own draft analysis, that's the greatest team that's ever been created.

The 2021 Browns finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs.

Jadeveon Clowney earned 60% of his career earnings from a single hit against Michigan

How many millions of dollars do you think Jadeveon Clowney has gained in his life, in his career, from that one hit against Michigan? There has to be a number. 60% of his career earnings. Every time you think of him, you think of that hit.

While mathematically impossible to verify, the hit is universally cited as his defining highlight.

The Jets were right to refuse a 1st round pick for Sam Darnold because Kyle Shanahan would have made them look like idiots

I actually am going to side with the Jets here simply because Kyle Shanahan is that type of coach that if he got Sam Darnold, Sam Darnold would be a pro bowler. ... It'd make you look bad. Like, he's the one guy I wouldn't want to trade my quarterback to just knowing that he's going to end up looking good and everyone would be like, oh, the Jets suck even more.

The rumor itself (49ers offering #12) was later largely debunked as fake, and Darnold eventually struggled in Carolina before becoming a 49er later in his career anyway.

Roger Maris is the real home run king

[The asterisk] represents like the real home run king in my estimation. ... [Mark McGwire] apologized to [Maris's widow] for the shame that he brought to that record and breaking Roger's record and it being so well known that he was juiced the whole time.

This is a subjective debate about baseball history.

Tony Romo is a genius when it comes to the mechanics of a golf swing

The guy is a genius when it comes to the mechanics. Like he understands people's golf swings better than I even think some coaches do with their students just because he sits there and he studies them nonstop.

Subjective assessment of Romo's knowledge.

Tony Romo is good enough to play at the PGA Tour level on his best days

So his good days are totally good enough to play at tour level. Um, it's just the bad is just where he's got to fix it and you know i think he's a great chipper and putter he's a pretty good iron player.

Romo has played in several PGA Tour events on sponsor exemptions but has never made a cut and eventually focused on broadcasting.

It is a 'big sunglasses on the back of the head guy' move to rip a ball away from a 5-year-old at a park

[Speaker 2]: his son was way older than mine, and he just stole the ball from our ball. And I was like, you can't take that. [PFT Commenter]: You know what that is? That's a big sunglasses on the back of the head upside down guy move.

This is a humorous characterization.
