Kyler Murray's performance drop-off every fall is directly caused by the release of new Call of Duty games

Kyler Murray, before Call of Duty is released in the fall, he averages 22.5 fantasy points per game. And after it's released every fall, he averages 17.4 fantasy points per game. The new Call of Duty is supposed to come out the end of October. So it feels like the Cardinals were like, Hey, this is actually the Call of Duty clause here.

The statistical correlation exists, but the causal link to his performance drop remains a matter of debate/opinion.

The Cardinals specifically leaked Kyler Murray's contract to cover their own asses

I really do think the Cardinals are trying to cover their own ass because like you said, like they're, they have to sign Kyler Murray... but they also wanna cover their own ass and be like, well, if it doesn't work out, here's probably why giving themselves an escape clause.

While never officially confirmed, many media analysts shared this theory at the time.

Russell Wilson is becoming more of a robot every day

Russell Wilson is just becoming more and more of a robot every day. The fact that he like, he actually is, you know, when people say like, I'll give 110%, he truly believes that there is something more than a hundred percent.

Subjective assessment of a player's personality.

Jim Harbaugh's adoption stance is actually a long-term recruiting strategy to build a super team

He's essentially just opened the doors being like, I will take any babies that my team produces. And guess what? It's a lot easier to recruit your adopted sons than it is some random kid that you have no connection with. He's building a super team for 20 years from now.

Hot TakeCFBScorchingSarcastic
Clearly a comedic theory that hasn't (and likely won't) manifest as a 2042 recruiting class.

Duke is the best team in the country and it would be an all-time failure if they don't win the title

This is the best team in the country. It would be an all time epic failure if Duke doesn't win the national title. They are the first time I believe that a team has reached plus 40 in Ken Palm since 1999. Duke... This team has it all.

The 2026 NCAA tournament has not occurred yet as of the episode date.

Duke not winning the national title would be the most consequential sports story of all time

I think it would be the biggest sports story of all time. If Duke did not win the national title this year. All time. I think all time story... Duke not winning at all this year would be the biggest, the most consequential sports story of all time. Not our lifetimes of all time.

The outcome is pending, but the scale of the claim is subjective and satirical.
