The Bears are a juggernaut at losing and rooting for them to tank for a high draft pick is a cathartic experience.

I don't want the Bears to win this game. Just reversing my entire mindset about the Bears. I was like, I want them to lose this game. And they are incredibly competent at that. They know how to do that very well. It was like the easiest Sunday of my life. ... The Bears are a juggernaut at losing.

The Bears successfully 'lost' their way to the #1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, making this a prescient take on their tanking competence.

The Bengals are in the exact same spot they were last year before their Super Bowl run

The Cincinnati Bengals, we talked about it last week. They're sitting basically at the exact same spot they were at last year when they ripped off all those wins and went all the way to the Super Bowl. They go into Nashville, they get in a fist fight with the Titans and come out with a win.

The Bengals did indeed go on a tear, reaching the AFC Championship game and narrowly losing to the Chiefs.

T Higgins is the best number two wide receiver in the NFL

T Higgins is probably the best number two [wide receiver]. He was awesome. And it does feel like he doesn't get any of the pub that Jamar Chase does because Jamar Chase is so incredible.

This is a subjective evaluation, though Higgins is widely considered a top-tier talent for a 'number two' receiver.

Taylor Heinicke has proven he is a good quarterback and potentially 'the guy'

Taylor Heinicke at this point has proven, I think that he's a good quarterback. I'm getting close to the point where I'm just ready to, I'm dangerously close to saying he's the guy. I'm very close.

Heinicke eventually lost the starting job later that season and has remained a journeyman/backup since, proving he wasn't 'the guy'.

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.
