Dave Gettleman is only hiring 'computer folks' for show and won't actually listen to them

He's hiring computer folks. I was joking when I when I saw that clip that it really is like your dad when he gets too many viruses on his laptop... He's not going to actually listen to them. No, that's the thing. He's just hiring them to say that he has computer folk.

Gettleman's tenure was widely criticized for failing to modernize, and he was eventually replaced by Joe Schoen who fully overhauled the analytics department, suggesting the initial 'computer folks' hire didn't change much.

Jerry Jones will fire Jason Garrett at halftime of one of the wild card games

I actually think at this point he will fire Jason Garrett like at halftime of one of the wild card games just so that we can talk about it or he might just give him a contract extension on the 14th.

Jason Garrett was officially fired on January 5, 2020, following the wild card games, but not during a halftime show.

Urban Meyer coaching the Cleveland Browns would be assisted suicide

Urban Meyer coaching the Browns would be assisted suicide. He cannot—he is the man who losses kill him. They take away part of his life like the battery life in his body. If he goes to the Browns he will die.

Urban Meyer did not coach the Browns; he eventually coached the Jaguars, which was indeed a catastrophic failure that ended early, supporting the spirit of the take.

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.
