NFL catch rules are bullshit after the Zach Miller non-touchdown

I am still so fucking mad about Zach Miller and that catch that wasn't a catch that was a catch. And I know, I know that this is, you know, the Calvin Johnson rule... but this is fucking bullshit. And it's the reason why, even though I love sports, I hate sports... I was that mad that Zach Miller broke his leg for nothing.

This is a subjective opinion on the quality of NFL rules, though the play is widely cited as one of the worst applications of the catch rule.

The Eagles are the team to beat in the NFL

I'm crossing off the 49ers while simultaneously in ink, circling the Eagles and saying they might be the team to beat.

The 2017 Eagles finished 13-3 and won Super Bowl LII.

A Vikings vs. Eagles NFC Championship would result in nuclear war

If it's the [Vikings] and the Eagles in the NFC Championship game, that's when the nuclear war is going to happen... They're never going to get experience joy.

The Vikings and Eagles did play in the 2017 NFC Championship Game. The world did not end in nuclear war, though the Eagles won 38-7.

The Patriots are officially back and it is 'fucked up' that they already have a top defense again

The Patriots were dead, and now all of a sudden they have the best defense. It's fucked up. It's fucked up... with their best players out, no big deal. Fuck you, Hank.

The Patriots defense improved significantly after a terrible first month, and they went on to reach Super Bowl LII.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
