I would rather have two more years of Tom Brady than five years of Jimmy Garoppolo and two first-round picks

[I'd take] Brady. I think we're going to have both, but Brady in that situation. [Even over Garoppolo for five years and two first round picks].

OpinionFootballMedium
Brady won two more Super Bowls with the Patriots (2016 and 2018 seasons) after this take, validating the choice to stick with him.

The Steelers are like Michigan football because they count championships won before the Super Bowl era

That's a classic Steelers move to count the championships that you won before the Super Bowl was a thing. I'm saying that's a classic thing to reach back. Well, in 1920, we won the big contest. We call that Michigan football.

OpinionFootballMedium
The Steelers do officially recognize their pre-Super Bowl history, and Michigan is famously cited for its numerous pre-poll era national titles.

Michigan football counts national championships they won before black people were allowed to play

Michigan football counts all the national championships they won before they let black people play.

Fact ClaimCFBHot
While Michigan had black players as early as the 19th century, many of their early claimed titles (1901-1904) occurred during eras of widespread segregation in college sports.

The Patriots are a better team specifically because of Dion Lewis

Actually, the real reason is Dion Lewis. They are 14-0 when [Lewis] plays. [Brady's] a system quarterback, in other words.

Fact ClaimFootballMedium
The Patriots did have an incredible winning streak when Dion Lewis was active on the roster during this era.

Adrian Peterson is currently better than Le'Veon Bell

[Le'Veon Bell] is the best running back in the NFL? I think Adrian Peterson is still better than he is.

Hot TakeFootballFire
In 2017, Le'Veon Bell was an All-Pro with nearly 2,000 yards from scrimmage, while Peterson was washed and split time between New Orleans and Arizona.
