Manny Diaz is the perfect coach to bring Miami back because he is slightly shady

Manny Diaz is the perfect type of Miami coach where he walked in the door and was like, I'm bringing the U back. And then immediately started doing shit that pissed everyone off and was slightly shady. Manny Diaz had that boat party... He's doing the things that brings Miami back, so I'm all in on Manny Diaz.

Manny Diaz was fired after three seasons with a 21-15 record, failing to actually bring Miami back to national prominence.

Christmas Day is the official start of the NBA season

People start caring about the NBA on Christmas Day. That is the official start of the season. They should just start it at that point and then move on from there because, yeah, football, we own the fall.

The NBA season literally starts in October, but culturally, Christmas is the major TV launch point for many fans.

Imagine Dragons will definitely have a featured song for the 2019 college football season

On Saturday night, Imagine Dragons is going to hit, and it's going to feel so damn good. I assume that Imagine Dragons has a song for this college football season. Because if they don't, then... that's actually more of a pressing issue than climate change.

Imagine Dragons' songs like 'Natural' and others were heavily used in ESPN promos around this era, though Judah & the Lion's 'Over My Head' was the primary 2019 anthem.

The Turnover Chain is officially dead because Paul Chryst mocked it

I mean, the turnover chain. Paul Chryst killed it... Real swag is no swag. And he said, 'Turnover chain my ass.' I think when the Wisconsin head coach... says turnover chain my ass, it's over. And they tried it last year and it was weird and awkward. So I think it's over.

The turnover chain persisted for a few more seasons until Mario Cristobal officially retired it in 2022, but its 'cool factor' peaked in 2017/2018 as Big Cat noted.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
