Notre Dame is heading in the wrong direction

If you had to describe Notre Dame for the last seven years, it's perfectly this. Are they back? Question mark. They've been almost back, sort of back, never fully back. But I think now they're going the wrong direction. Now they're set back.

Prediction CFB Medium

Notre Dame went 4-8 in 2016, their worst season in decades, so this was a highly prescient take.

Pardon My Take has more listeners than Bill Simmons

We have over 40 million listeners in six months. That's crazy... I'm just going to say it's more than Simmons. Yeah, it's more than [Bill] Simmons.

Fact Claim Media Hot

While PMT became the #1 sports podcast, 40 million listeners in the first 6 months of 2016 is an extreme exaggeration of unique listeners compared to established stars like Simmons at that time.

Trevor Siemian is the Tim Tebow of the 2016 Denver Broncos

I don't even care that Trevor Siemian is the starting quarterback. Every game he's been in, they've won. Absolutely. So he's the Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos this year.

Opinion Football Medium

Siemian went 8-6 as a starter in 2016, a respectable winning record for a first-year starter, echoing the Tebow-esque 'he just wins' narrative briefly.

If you buy a Pardon My Take shirt, you are an owner of Larry [the Goldfish] like the Green Bay Packers, except you actually own something, not fake own it.
