The Chargers will be the best team to not make the playoffs

The [LA] Chargers might be the hottest team in the NFL right now... ever since I said they were going to be the best team to not make the playoffs and you guys laughed. The Raiders probably will be the best team to not make the playoffs [initially], but I was so right. This Chargers team not only is their schedule cupcakes, but they are balling.

The Chargers finished 9-7 and missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker with the Bills and Titans. They were widely considered one of the best teams excluded from the 2017 postseason.

The Chargers are going to make the playoffs

I am sorry about the Raiders comment, but you were very wrong about the Chargers comment because they are going to make the playoffs.

The Chargers missed the playoffs at 9-7 due to tiebreakers.

The NFC Championship will be Vikings vs. Packers

Aaron Rodgers isn't even going to play this season, and he's going to somehow get to the NFC Championship game... It's going to be Vikings-Packers for my real personal hell.

Aaron Rodgers returned for one game, lost, and was put back on IR. The Packers missed the playoffs. The Vikings made the NFCCG, but played the Eagles.

Derek Jeter is a sleeper cell/traitor to the Marlins

Derek Jeter still works for the Yankees. I don't even think that's a hot take to say that... Because it's commonly accepted as the fact that Derek Jeter is a traitor to the Marlins organization.

While Jeter did trade the Marlins' best player to his former team, it was a standard 'salary dump' rebuild, not a proven covert operation.

Jeff Fisher is a quarterback whisperer

Jeff Fisher is back in a big way because all of his quarterbacks are shining right now... Jared Goff just killing out in L.A... Number two is Case Keenum. He's back. Nick Foles. Playing well... He's a quarterback whisperer. He's like Johnny Appleseed. He's just going around and he plants all his little quarterback seeds. And then in like, you know, three to four years when he gets fired. They all just sprout into big trees.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
The literal claim is satirical; the reality is the 'Fisher Effect' where QBs thrive once free of his system.

Vince McMahon hates sneezing because he can't control it

He doesn't like sneezing in the same room... I think he doesn't like sneezing because he perceives it to be unsanitary and it's not something that he can control as much as he would like. And so he's not a sneezer and you don't need to be a sneezer in his presence either.

This has been corroborated by multiple former WWE employees and Vince himself in interviews.

Paul Heyman is the best talking personality in wrestling by far

Paul Heyman [cuts the best promo in the game]. Without a doubt, by far. And the other guys that are on the roster would be well served to pay attention to every word he says... He's the best talking personality in wrestling, in my view, by far.

Subjective opinion on microphone skills.

Oklahoma is good enough to win the national championship this year

Do you think that this year the team is good enough to win a title? Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely... I believe that they have it to do because if we can get an occasional three and out, a turnover, shorten your time of possession to get the other guy's offense off the field, the more chances the sooner offense has to play.

Oklahoma lost to Georgia in the Rose Bowl (semifinal) and did not win the title.

Baker Mayfield is the best college quarterback in many years

They have arguably the best quarterback we've seen in college football in many, many years. [Baker Mayfield] is a natural [heel]... He should win the Heisman Trophy.

Mayfield did win the Heisman in 2017 and is widely considered an all-time great college QB.

The Jaguars season is AFC Championship or bust

We're at the point now, the defense is so good... It's AFC Championship or bust.

The Jaguars reached the AFC Championship and lost to the Patriots, so they met the 'or bust' threshold.

Blake Bortles is a top 5 quarterback in the NFL

Name five better. Go ahead, Hank. Give us your top five quarterbacks right now. Tom Brady, Jared Goff, Blake Bortles, and then the list dramatically falls off after that.

Blake Bortles was never statistically or reputationally a top 5 NFL QB, despite a strong 2017 playoff run.
