Big Ben Roethlisberger taking a pay cut is the ultimate 'hero ball' move.

This might be my favorite Big Ben move ever because he took a pay cut... He signed a big money contract knowing he was going to get paid like $40 million when he was very old... And now he's hero ball, going to take a pay cut on the contract that he signed to get paid a ton of money when he was really old.

The evaluation of Roethlisberger's character and intent is subjective.

Steelers fans should not be excited about Big Ben Roethlisberger returning for another year.

If I was a Steelers fan, I would not be super thrilled about another year of Big Ben.

The 2021 season was Roethlisberger's last; he threw for 22 TDs and 10 INTs as the Steelers went 9-7-1 and were blown out in the Wild Card round.

The NFL salary cap doesn't actually matter.

Basically, [the salary cap] doesn't matter... teams will go from under $20 million over the cap to magically, oh, they have a bunch of cap space.

While it's a hard cap, restructures and 'void years' make it extremely flexible, supporting the spirit of the take.

Aliens definitely exist, and I totally believe Baker Mayfield saw one.

Aliens exist. We all agree, right? Aliens exist... Baker Mayfield, you probably saw an alien. I totally believe you.

The existence of extraterrestrial life is currently unproven but widely theorized; the specific sighting by Baker Mayfield remains subjective.

The 2026 Thanksgiving Day schedule is the best single day of football ever

Wednesday night is the Packers versus the Rams. Then Thursday, Thanksgiving day is Bears, lions, Eagles, Cowboys, chiefs bills. That will be great. Like the day of Thanksgiving? Yeah. That's the best day of football I think maybe ever.

Whether it's the 'best day ever' is a matter of personal opinion and game quality.

Pittsburgh fleeced Boston in the gorilla trade

I think Boston got fleeced. Frankie got traded, 7-year-old. Frankie got traded to the Boston Zoo. He's going to just be chilling with a bunch of other dudes. Little Joe got traded to Pittsburgh because he's going to be mating and making new gorilla. Pittsburgh's the one that's gonna be making more gorillas. You guys are do everything all wrong. They're, they're making a gorilla factory in Pittsburgh.

Evaluating zoo conservation efforts through the lens of a sports trade is inherently comedic and subjective.
