Craig Counsell to the Cubs is a sign the team is ready to spend and compete for World Series titles again

I also think this is the sign that the Cubs are ready to start spending and start competing for World Series again. Because you're not Craig Counsell... you don't go to the Cubs, your rival... unless you have a deal in place from Jed and Tom Ricketts being like, 'Hey, we're going for this.'

The Cubs did sign Shota Imanaga and re-signed Cody Bellinger, but they were not the biggest spenders in the league and missed the playoffs in Counsell's first year (2024).

Josh Dobbs with zero practice reps would be a better fit for the Jets offense than Zach Wilson

Honestly, I think if they had Josh Dobbs at quarterback, they could figure it out. Josh Dobbs with zero practice reps is probably a better fit for that offense than Zach Wilson is.

While subjective, Dobbs performed well for the Vikings shortly after arriving without practice, while Wilson continued to struggle for the Jets.

The Jets are the second-best team in the NFC

NFC standings took a hit [this week]. I put Lions one, Jets two, 49ers three, Seahawks four, Eagles five.

The Jets play in the AFC, not the NFC, and they finished the 2023 season 7-10, nowhere near the top of any power rankings.

Aaron Rodgers is trolling the media and is not actually close to coming back from his Achilles injury

My theory about Aaron Rodgers is he is, he's a troll. He loves trolling. He loves fucking with the media a little bit... I don't think that he's gonna come back in a couple weeks. I think he's doing this knowing that the media will see him on TV and talk about Aaron Rodgers coming back.

Aaron Rodgers did not return during the 2023 season, despite his teases, proving PFT's skepticism correct.

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.
