Aaron Rodgers should go on a public hunger strike to get traded

Aaron Rodgers, I know you listen to the show... do a public hunger strike. Have a live cam on you, do a stream and prove that you're not going to eat anything until either they fire this guy [Gutenkunst] or you get traded to whatever. If anybody's the type of personality to try doing like a Gandhi technique, it's Aaron Rodgers.

Hot Take Football ScorchingSarcastic

Rodgers did not go on a hunger strike; he eventually returned to the Packers before being traded years later.

Kyle Shanahan is a quarterback killer

He might be a quarterback killer. If you go back and you look at the quarterbacks that have played under Kyle Shanahan, they put up good stats occasionally, but then after he leaves, it all goes to shit. He's had Johnny Manziel, RG3, that's Rex Grossman III, also the other RG3, John Beck, Matt Schaub, Matt Ryan, who never won another MVP after Kyle Shanahan, and then Jimmy Garoppolo.

Opinion Football Hot Subjective

While several QBs did see drop-offs, Matt Ryan remained productive for years, and others like Manziel had non-football issues. It is a debatable but strong opinion.

The 49ers did an incredible job of keeping the Trey Lance pick a secret from everyone, including their closest friends

I listened to [Chris Sims'] show on Friday with our internet uncle... it was very clear that Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers did do a good job of telling absolutely no one because I think Chris Sims was like, this is really fucked up. I have this guy's initials on my ankle, and he didn't tell me that they were taking Trey Lance. It actually proved that Kyle Shanahan was right to lie to his best friend.

Opinion Football Medium

The 49ers' pick was widely considered a surprise (most expected Mac Jones) until the final moments, confirming the secrecy was effective.

The Cardinals are dedicated to rebuilding their franchise using 'short kings'

I've noticed that the Cardinals are kind of dedicated to rebuilding their franchise using short kings. So, Andy Isabella... Rondale Moore, that's the guy from Purdue, right? He's awesome. Short king that squats like 700 pounds or whatever. It's partially that you don't want Kyler [Murray] to be shorter than all of his receiving options.
