Texas is 'back' as soon as they get one big win in September

My threshold is one big win in September. They're back... If they cover against Alabama, they might be back. Yes, that might be what makes them back right there.

Hot TakeCFBHotSarcastic
Texas lost to Alabama 20-19 but covered the spread. They were declared 'back' by many after that, though they finished 8-5. They truly became 'back' in 2023 by making the Playoff.

Novak Djokovic is the one true tennis GOAT

Novak Djokovic the goat. Oh, oh, oh... officially passes Roger Federer in championships, major championships, one away from [Nadal] who just wins Mickey Mouse clay ones every single time... I think it's, it's firmly established. He is the goat.

While subjective, Djokovic later took the lead in total Grand Slam titles, strengthening the statistical case for this take.

Baker Mayfield can still be a top 12 quarterback in the NFL

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I think that Baker [Mayfield] is still like, he could be a top 12 quarterback. I don't think he's a bust at all. I think that he was hurt last year.

Mayfield struggled in Carolina and was released, but later had a career resurgence with the Buccaneers in 2023, arguably reaching top 12-15 status again.

Miami of Ohio 100% deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament despite their first-round loss

I think a hundred percent they should be in. We need to just focus on the fact that there, I believe 31 and one and not do anything about strength of schedule. If you're able to go an entire season without losing a game that's hard to just wake up every day and not stumble once. I wanna see what happens when they play their first quad win one game in the middle of March.

This is part of the satirical 'Future' bit; Miami of Ohio was not 31-1 in 2026 (or 2024).

Conference tournaments are bad for top teams because they don't improve your seeding and lead to unnecessary fatigue

I'm kind of done with the conference tournaments. Like they just fuck you. It doesn't make your seed better and you end up being more tired today. If you have to play four games, you're just gonna get screwed.

The value of conference tournaments for high-seeded teams is a perennial debate in sports media.

Kyler Murray will be the next Sam Darnold now that he's with the Vikings

Kyler Murray is a Viking. We all kind of expected it. It happened. He's going to be the next Sam Darnold. The NFC North now has three number one picks at quarterback with Kyler Murray, Caleb Williams, Jared Goff. Kind of cool.

Kyler Murray did not sign with the Vikings; this is part of the episode bit.
