I will raise a banner in the office if the Bears beat the Packers in Week 18 to keep them out of the playoffs.

I'd raise a literal banner in the office if the Bears beat the Packers week 18 to keep them out of the playoffs. There will be an actual banner made that I will raise and have a banner raising ceremony. And I know that sounds so pathetic and so sad, but I do not care 'cause it'll mean that much to me.

The Packers beat the Bears 17-9 in Week 18 to clinch a playoff spot, so no banner was raised.

The Saints should let their offense run through Taysom Hill all the time.

They should just let that offense run through Taysom Hill all the time. There's nobody like him in the NFL. He seems to be effective at moving the chains. The offense is something that like, you can't really prepare for that well.

The Saints continued to split time between Derek Carr and Hill, never fully committing to Hill as the primary engine of the offense.

The Saints need to blow everything up and reset their franchise

The Saints just have to admit that they suck and they have to start blowing everything up because the Saints have been doing this for, it started at the end of the Brees era and it's been going on ever since where they just continually kick the can down the road. The Saints are $71 million over the cap next year. I don't even know how that's possible. Why wouldn't they just start trading people? Start cutting, start trading, just reset everything. If you're a Saints fan, you have to want a fresh restart.

Subjective opinion on roster management, though the Saints notably did NOT blow it up and continued to restructure contracts for 2024.

Making the playoffs as the NFC South representative would be the worst thing for the Saints long-term.

The worst thing that could happen to the Saints is they somehow get into the playoffs as the NFC South representative, lose a game and then they can tell themselves, oh we were, we were pretty close. We were a playoff team. Like, you just gotta hit reset on everything.

The Saints finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs anyway, and did not 'reset' their roster or coaching staff significantly in the following offseason.

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.
