Defenders are hesitant to hit Patrick Mahomes hard because he is so well-liked

I have a take that I'm working on. It's not ready yet. But essentially if people want to help me with this trying to find some film I think Defenders are not hitting Mahomes as hard as they possibly can because no one wants to be the guy that hurts Mahomes. It feels like when he starts running there are times in a game where he'll scramble. And he'll like they'll almost all agree to give up the play at the same time.

This is a subjective conspiracy theory that cannot be definitively proven or disproven.

The NFL should have scheduled a league-wide bye week in the middle of the season to handle COVID-19 delays

Why didn't the NFL just schedule an extra week in the middle of the season to be like, okay, best-case scenario. Everyone just gets an extra bye week... worst-case scenario like that. What's happening every team that has missed a game can make it up in week 8.5?

The NFL did not add a league-wide mid-season bye, instead opting to shuffle individual team schedules and eventually adding a 'Week 18' buffer only if necessary (which they didn't use for regular season games that year).

Mike Zimmer made the correct decision to go for it on fourth down against the Seahawks

We 100% agreed together we watch the game and we said Mike Zimmer. This is a good move. Essentially we didn't even do it in a mass way. We said what do the Seahawks want the Vikings to do they? They want to kick they want the Vikings kick a field goal because they haven't stopped shit all night.

The Vikings failed to convert and lost the game, but the take is a subjective defense of strategy.

The Seahawks' bright green uniforms are the reason they can't stop the run

The Seattle Seahawks defense was they looked like a bunch of mall security guards wearing those like bright green like the guys in the parking lot... They didn't look like a professional defense... if you want a hard-hitting defense, they can stop the run those real [traditional] uniforms look sweet. No, if they go full color rush highlighter, I'm down for it. No, the two-tone is terrible.

Uniform color has no verifiable impact on a team's rush defense statistics.

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.
