Jim Harbaugh would fix Russell Wilson by running 1970s-style football in Denver

Every coach has an ego. ... You can hire a guy like Jim Harbaugh and just have him turn around and hand the ball off 42 times a game in 1970s football. Yeah, I mean that's possible too, right?

Harbaugh stayed at Michigan for another year before joining the Chargers. Sean Payton took the Broncos job and eventually cut Wilson after one season, deciding he couldn't fix him.

I could land a commercial airliner if the pilot became incapacitated

If I got behind the wheel or what the stick of a 737 and I was able to talk to air traffic control, I honestly do believe that I would be able to land a plane. It's pretty simple stuff. It's not rocket science, it's air science.

The difficulty of landing a modern airliner without training is highly debated, but most aviation experts suggest a complete novice would almost certainly crash without previous simulator or flight experience, even with radio help.

Short people are crucial for conserving food and resources on our dying planet

Being short is better for the future... Not only do shorter people tend to live longer, but they're also crucial in conserving food and resources on her dying planet. The short are also inherent conservationists, which is more crucial than ever in this world of 8 billion. So basically if we were 10% shorter, we would save 87 millions of tons of food per year.

Fact ClaimLifeMediumSarcastic
The math behind smaller organisms requiring fewer calories is scientifically sound, though the 'conservationist' label is satirical.

Safeties should be worth four points because they are so difficult to achieve

Safeties should be worth four [points] because the safeties are so hard to get. ... Two points is like a spitting in the face of the defense.

The value of a safety remains 2 points in the NFL rulebook.

The Bears are still a year away from being real contenders

I'm a little more realistic because I look at the schedule and see, you know, that they really have what—they played one team with a winning record and lost to 'em. I'm a little apprehensive... I just don't think this is their year. I think they're a year away.

The Bears went 11-6, won the NFC North, and won a playoff game. They were NOT a year away - they were contenders this year.

Sam Darnold will eventually revert to his old, mistake-prone self because 'you are what you are'

Usually this league you are what you are. You're gonna have moments where you're up here... and moments when you're down here... eventually you're in the middle and that's who you are... [Sam Darnold] looked frazzled [last week] and that can't happen. It just can't happen in the big games... there's a Sam Darnold problem at least in my mind.

The take is a subjective long-term outlook on a player's career trajectory.

The 7-4 Chargers will miss the playoffs

They're not making the playoffs... and it's gonna come down to that Chiefs Chargers game and I think the Chiefs will beat 'em. They're seven and four, but if you look at their schedule, it's brutal. And that offensive line is horrible. Yanked [Penning] out of the game. It's a terrible offensive line.

Pete Prisco predicted the 7-4 Chargers would miss the playoffs. The Chargers finished 11-6 and made the playoffs as a Wild Card team, losing to the Patriots 16-3 in the first round.
