Brandon Staley will be fired immediately following the Chargers' blowout loss to the Raiders

I think Brandon Staley might get fired or he is fired already. He might be fired overnight. He might be fired right after this game because we're taping the rare taping in the third quarter of Thursday Night Football. It is 42 to zero. The Las Vegas Raiders versus the Los Angeles Chargers. PFT. He's gone. He has to be gone right now.

Brandon Staley was indeed fired the following morning, December 15, 2023.

Brandon Staley has set the analytics community back 40 years

Really you could say Brandon Staley has set the analytics community back like 40 years. Because he's known as the analytics poster boy, the Wonder kid of the analytics movement and the fact that his teams have fallen apart so terribly really makes you think like, I don't want my head coach ever look at a number again.

The impact on the analytics community is subjective and hyperbolic, but Staley's failure did become a common talking point against purely analytical decision-making.

They are trying like damn hell to get a Super Bowl overseas and we have to stop it. So let's all not watch the first quarter next year of all these games.

While international games are expanding, a Super Bowl has not yet been scheduled or played overseas.

The Bengals could win a playoff game with Jake Browning at quarterback

I think the Bengals actually have a chance they could make some noise in the playoffs. How about that? I don't think that they have a chance to win the Super Bowl. I, but I, I could see them winning a playoff game with Jake Browning.

The Bengals finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs entirely, so Browning never got a chance to play a postseason game.

France is unstoppable in the 2026 World Cup

When we first got the bracket, I said I was gonna go chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop him. France looks unstoppable.

The 2026 World Cup final is likely still pending or just occurring around the episode date.

The toxicity towards Christian Pulisic proves America is finally a real soccer country

I think with the amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian Pulisic, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. The fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy, it's like, oh shit. Maybe we could become a country that people cared that much about it.

This is a subjective cultural take on fandom.
