Sports leagues should offer a 'Darren Rovell-free' broadcast option for extra money

Just give me a Darren Rovell free option and I'll pay extra for that. Right? Even if he wasn't going to be on the original cast, they could be like, hey extra $10 a week to watch Sunday Night Football with no Darren Rovell on. I'd be like, yeah, just to be safe. To make sure that he doesn't show up.

While a specific 'Rovell-free' fee hasn't been implemented, many streaming services allow viewers to choose alternate feeds that avoid certain personalities.

Brooks Koepka should keep his mustache forever

[Brooks Koepka] looks so good though, that mustache. I hope he doesn't shave it because he is one of those guys that if he committed to the mustache life, he could be a mustache guy forever.

Koepka has shaved the mustache multiple times since this episode, so he did not commit to it forever.

The NFL should let players protest so that it's no longer a protest

NFL is allowing them to protest so is the protest now to not protest? Well, I thought the hit protest like if someone says, hey go ahead and [protest], that's not protest. You have to now you have to now stand for the national anthem to protest the the ability like no you don't tell me what to do.

The NFL did eventually shift its stance to allow/support player expression, essentially making the act of kneeling less of a 'protest' against the league itself.

Paul Finebaum's take on Nick Saban running out of time is just a result of him having no other takes

Paul Finebaum has run out of takes so his take now is that Nick Saban is running out of time. Oh, like we all like he's on the downside of his coaching career. He's 69 and he's going to be 69 this year. So he's like, yeah, he's too old.

Saban went on to win the National Championship in the 2020 season (Jan 2021) and several SEC titles before retiring in 2024, proving he was not 'running out of time' in 2020.

France is unstoppable in the 2026 World Cup

When we first got the bracket, I said I was gonna go chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop him. France looks unstoppable.

The 2026 World Cup final is likely still pending or just occurring around the episode date.

The toxicity towards Christian Pulisic proves America is finally a real soccer country

I think with the amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian Pulisic, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. The fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy, it's like, oh shit. Maybe we could become a country that people cared that much about it.

This is a subjective cultural take on fandom.
