Philip Rivers and Roy Williams should start cursing to improve their pain tolerance and win championships

My hot seat is Phil Rivers and Roy Williams because researchers found that saying the word fuck can improve your threshold for pain... when you say fudge or dang it or gosh darn it, it's worse... could you imagine what [Rivers] would be like as a quarterback if he actually said fuck? Do you think if Phil Rivers starts cussing, then he wins a Super Bowl? Probably.

Neither Rivers nor Williams changed their public cursing habits to test this, and both have since retired from their respective roles.

The Buccaneers at number five is fine because they already had a decent core and a good defense

I'm actually okay with the Bucs being five because the Bucs... they had the core of a decent team last year. They just had a quarterback that threw 30 interceptions... And they had a pretty good defense, too.

The Buccaneers won the Super Bowl this season, proving the high ranking was actually too low, if anything.

The Buccaneers' rushing attack is underrated

I also think that the running game in Tampa is underrated... so many people are talking about Tom Brady and Gronk and Mike Evans that no one's talking about Barber and the rushing attack that they had, which was pretty effective.

Peyton Barber was not on the team in 2020. The Bucs finished 28th in rushing yards per game in 2020, so the ground game wasn't actually a strength.

Peter King's power rankings are influenced by which coaches and quarterbacks return his phone calls

Once you get out of the top five, you can tell which coaches and quarterbacks return Peter King's calls. Because that's also why Tom Brady's up there is because he calls him back.

Subjective claim about a journalist's process.

The Kawhi Leonard era with the Clippers was an absolute failure

The Clippers Kawhi era is maybe the most unforgettable or or forgettable, I'm sorry, era of all time. Like they did nothing. Just an absolute tease.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's tenure with a team.

France is playing the World Cup on 'easy mode' and looks unstoppable

France is just playing on easy mode. Like they're not even trying and they're just dummying people... France could have played with nine guys and they probably would've won that game.

This is a subjective observation of a team's dominance.

Cristiano Ronaldo is an absolute bum

But yeah, Ronaldo's, I mean, he's an absolute bum. I think we can all agree, right? Zach?

Subjective categorization of an all-time great player as a 'bum.'
