The Minnesota Vikings are absolute frauds

I'll tell you why. Billy, let me take you to school real quick. You wanna hear some cold hard facts? Out of every single team to ever be 10 and 2 since the 1970 merger... the Vikings are by far and dead last for point differential. Their point differential is three times smaller than the second worst team. The Vikings, they're frauds.

Opinion Football Medium

The 2022 Vikings finished 13-4 with a -3 point differential. They were subsequently upset at home in the Wild Card round by the Giants, largely validating the 'fraud' label.

Baker Mayfield wears a padded headband so he can headbutt teammates without getting hurt

Baker Mayfield wears his little headband. Yeah. I think there's padding in it. So he keeps doing the headbutt thing and everyone's like, holy shit, what a psycho. He's like, no, I'm good. I noticed that after the game, and he was being very aggressive with his headbutts, but he was making sure to line it up right on the headband.

Hot Take Football Medium Subjective

Baker is known for his aggressive headbutting celebrations, and while he does wear a headband, there is no proof it is specially padded beyond standard athletic fabric.

The 2022 season is actually Sean McVay's best coaching job ever

Actually the 2022 season was [Sean McVay's] best job as a head coach... they literally have lost their entire team and the season is lost and it's the worst Super Bowl defense ever statistically. But the fact that even the last three games, how the Rams have fought... they're fighting. I might give him my vote for Coach of the Year.

Hot Take Football Hot

The Rams finished 5-12, the worst record ever for a defending Super Bowl champion. While McVay is a great coach, this season is universally regarded as his worst, not his best. He did not receive Coach of the Year votes.

Sean McVay did not win Coach of the Year; Brian Daboll won it. The Rams finished 5-12.
