The 2022 Cincinnati Bengals are in the exact same spot they were during their 2021 Super Bowl run

If you're a Bengals fan, you gotta be in the back of your head being like, oh look at the schedule. We're six and four... We have basically the same setup where if we just get everyone healthy and put it back together, we're gonna be in the exact same spot going into the playoffs.

The 2022 Bengals did follow a similar path, finishing 12-4 and reaching the AFC Championship game, nearly mirroring their 2021 run.

The 2022 Jets are a mirrors-image of the 2018 Chicago Bears

The comparison I've been making is the Jets this season feel like the 2018 Chicago Bears. And I say that because the Chicago Bears in 2018 were an elite defense. This Jets team has an elite defense. So good. The quarterback [Zach Wilson] was in their second year, second overall pick... It goes to the same problem of your team can be good and your quarterback's bad.

The Jets finished 7-10 while having a top-5 defense, mirroring the frustration of the 2018 Bears (though the Bears actually made the playoffs that year).

Zach Wilson's ceiling is still Patrick Mahomes

I know this sounds crazy, but I really think [Zach Wilson's] ceiling's Patrick Mahomes. Just, it sounds crazy... I still think his ceiling is there.

Zach Wilson was eventually benched and traded to Denver, never coming close to Mahomes' level of play.

Jeff Saturday will keep the Colts physically tough and competitive as 'cover machines'

The Colts continued to do what I think [Jeff] Saturday's gonna have him do, which is just be cover machines. And they played physically... I actually do think that the Colts are gonna continue to be super physical, maybe not like the most electric team... but they're not gonna roll over for anybody like they were before.

The Colts lost seven straight games to end the season after PFT made this take, including the largest blown lead in NFL history.

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.
