Analytics dictate that if you are down 14 and score a touchdown, you should go for two

All the analysts would tell you to do it. [Go for two when down 14]. I think that one thing that I've learned guys... winning the game in regulation. Right. You know. Cause there's that, Hey, play for a tie or, Hey, we want to win this game in regulation.

Analytical models generally favor going for two in this scenario to win in regulation.

Elon Musk should announce he bought the Yankees and immediately dissolve the team on SNL

You know, it'd be very funny if [Elon Musk] just straight up announced that he bought the Yankees and then dissolve the Yankees immediately, or the Yankees are no more.

This did not happen during Elon Musk's SNL appearance on May 8, 2021.

Tom Wilson is currently the NHL's apex predator because the league phased out goons

The problem is the NHL not having, they basically got like the goon, the goon is extinct in the NHL. The fighting has been phased out of the league. The big guys don't have a place anymore. Therefore, Tom Wilson is the toughest guy in the world and he beat the entire New York Rangers roster.

The take is a subjective analysis of league trends and Tom Wilson's physical dominance during that specific 2021 controversy.

Healthy workplaces should allow fighting to increase productivity

I think that healthy workplaces should allow fighting. Like if you get into a fight, if you know that fisticuffs are on the table and you can fight in the first 30 minutes of your Workday, you'll probably end up having more productive day after that, you're going to get all your frustration out.

General corporate and legal standards do not recognize workplace fighting as a productivity booster.

The punt is the most challenging play in football because it requires a player to switch roles instantly

Why is the punt the most challenging play in football?... Well, I'll tell you why, because it's the only play in football where you start out as an offensive player, and then you become a defensive player. You have to block and be responsible for all the protection phase... and then you have to go cover the kick and become a defensive player.

The mechanics of the play are factually accurate; its status as 'most challenging' is a professional opinion.

The best way to stop Patrick Mahomes is a full team effort because you better be able to score to beat him

The reality is, is pat Mahomes is, has only been held under 24 points, like three times in his entire career. So the reality is you better be able to score, to beat them, you know? And so it's going to take a team performance to beat a guy like that.

Mahomes historically leads high-scoring offenses, making high offensive output a prerequisite for beating him.

Khalil Mack would have been DPOY in 2018 if he hadn't missed two games

Ramsey was first team all pro last year and had his best year... Kahleel a D [Aaron Donald]... I think, you know, the year we were together, guys in 18 [Khalil Mack] probably would have been the player of the year he had had, he had had he not missed those two games.

Mack had 12.5 sacks in 14 games. Donald had 20.5 in 16. It's highly debatable if two more games would have overcome Donald's massive stat lead.
