I support division winners hosting playoff games even with bad records because the unfairness provides entertainment

I like the fact that the Eagles could win the division at 7-9 and host a playoff game simply because we get to sit here and say, that's not fair. I like that it makes no sense. I like that if you win your division, you get a home playoff game, even if you're a terrible team. It just seems like one of those rules I don't want changed.

This is an opinion on a league rule, so it is subjective. The rule remains in place.

The Giants have to play Eli Manning again to let him get back to a .500 record

Now what sucks is now Eli's 116 and 117. You've got to play him again, though. You have to play him again. You've got to give him a shot to get back to 117, 117.

Eli Manning did play one more game after this (against the Dolphins) and won, finishing his career exactly at 117-117.

I would still bet on the Eagles to win the NFC East despite how bad they look

I still would probably take [the Eagles] to win the division, because they have a home game against the Cowboys, and they play the Redskins and they play the Giants. But if you had to ask me right now to put money on it, I think I'd still take the Eagles as bad as they've looked.

The Eagles won out, including beating the Cowboys, and finished 9-7 to win the NFC East.

I can see the 2019 Eagles flipping a switch and going on a Super Bowl run despite how bad they look

I'm falling into the trap of what they've done the last two years. I agree with you. But I could see [the Eagles] just going on a run right now. [The Super Bowl Eagles] are eventually going to – everything's going to click, and they're going to flip the switch, and they're going to be great again.

The Eagles did win the division and make the playoffs at 9-7, but they lost in the Wild Card round to the Seahawks and did not go on a Super Bowl run.

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.
