No quarterback wearing a visor will ever win a Super Bowl

We know that a visor quarterback will not win a Super Bowl... No visor quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl, just a heads up.

Jim McMahon wore a visor during Super Bowl XX and won. Many others have followed, though the pod ignores this for the bit.

The Suns are in a 'must-win' situation in Game 2 despite leading the series 1-0

In a series that is a seven-game series and the Suns are up 1-0... it felt like a must-win for the Suns. I think that the Suns needed to win this game, and it feels like history is repeating itself [with LeBron].

The Suns lost Game 2 but still went on to win the series 4-2, meaning it was not a 'must-win' as they overcame the loss.

The Lakers are unbeatable if Anthony Davis is making his three-pointers

Anthony Davis, if he doesn't make all those three-pointers, it's a much different game. You can't beat the Lakers if Anthony Davis is wet from three.

Davis shot just 18% from three in the series and the Lakers were eliminated in the first round.

LeBron James intentionally lets opponents win Game 1 in early playoff rounds to give them false confidence

If it's in the first or second round, [LeBron] is like, I'm going to let them get a little confidence, maybe run their way out of the series tonight. Let them try too hard in Game 1.

While LeBron has lost many Game 1s and won the series, attributing it to a deliberate psychological tactic is an unprovable opinion.

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.
