The Falcons genuinely invent new ways to lose a football game every single week

We have joked that the Falcons invent new ways to lose every single week. It is not a joke. The fact that they lost the game by Todd Gurley his momentum taking him into the end zone... It is incredible that they lost that way. If Todd Gurley just goes down, they win that game.

The 2020 Falcons were infamous for this, blowing multiple 95%+ win probability leads (Cowboys, Bears, and now Lions).

The eyeball test tells me that DK Metcalf is the fastest human being to ever step foot on grass

DK Metcalf is the fastest human being alive... [PFT: He's very fast but he's not faster than Usain Bolt]. I think he might be. The eyeball test tells me that DK is the fastest human being to ever step foot on grass. It's terrifying how fast he is.

Literally incorrect, as Metcalf is not faster than Usain Bolt, but he recorded one of the fastest speeds ever by a player in pads.

The Seahawks are the pinnacle team in the NFL right now because no matter the situation, things are going to get weird

The Seahawks are just insane... they are the pinnacle team in the NFL right now where no matter what the situation is, you're like, 'It's gonna get weird.' If they're up by ten, shit's going to get weird. They're down by 10, shit's going to get weird.

This remained true for much of the 2020 season, as the Seahawks frequently played in one-score games and high-variance situations.

Win probability stats are bullshit and shouldn't be trusted

I think win probability is bullshit. Computers and robots will never beat us for this simple fact: They actually think that the Falcons have a 98% chance of winning a game that we know as human beings, that's not true. Computers don't do stereotypes... For the Falcons there should be a cap on it.

Inherently subjective and part of the show's ongoing 'nerds vs. eyeball test' bit.

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.
