The Carolina Panthers will be on Hard Knocks in 2019

I'm predicting the Panthers for hard knocks officially... they got it in my head, so now I'm just going with it. They have a new owner. We're going to spend three episodes with him.

The Oakland Raiders were the featured team for Hard Knocks in 2019.

Josh Rosen wants to be drafted by a New York team because there is a larger Jewish population there.

Stephen A. Smith said that Josh Rosen wants to go to New York because there's more Jews... Cleveland said, wait, we have Jews, and we're a full-blown Jew off... Stephen A. Smith is actually a sneaky genius because he just knows whatever he says about Josh Rosen will be front page news.

Josh Rosen did not end up in New York; he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals.

Aaron Rodgers has about 40 wins left in his body before he starts to suck

Quarterback wins are kind of like a woman's eggs. Because most people don't realize it but a woman, she's only born with a finite number of eggs. So with quarterbacks, it's the exact same thing because they've only got a certain amount of wins that are in their system. If they don't space them out, then they start to regress early. I think he's got about 40 wins left in his body before he starts to suck.

Rodgers won well over 50 more regular season games after this, including back-to-back MVPs in 2020 and 2021, before declining with the Jets in 2023-2024.

Playing on more dangerous surfaces makes football safer

We're making the game less safe by no longer playing it on concrete. And now we're adding like a new bar to the face mask every week. And it's counterintuitive, but if you look at it from a macro point of view, which I am, if you want players to care about their safety a little bit more, then you need to force them to play on more dangerous surfaces.

Harder playing surfaces lead to more severe injuries, not fewer, regardless of player caution.

Nick Saban was right to pass on Drew Brees so the Dolphins could afford 'impact players' like Mike Wallace and Ndamukong Suh

Nick Saban gets a bum rap for bailing out on the Dolphins... but in reality, Drew Brees' shoulder... it was the sword of Damocles, and it was hanging by a labrum. And now, oh, now he's looking like a big hero because he didn't sign him... if Saban had brought Brees to Miami, then the entire franchise would be hamstrung by that big contract, and they wouldn't be able to go out and afford impact players like you've got your Mike Wallaces and you've got your Ndamukong Suhs that they're bringing to town.

Hot TakeFootballFireSarcastic
Passing on Drew Brees is widely considered the biggest mistake in Dolphins history, as Brees became an All-Pro and Super Bowl champion while Wallace and Suh were overpaid disappointments for Miami.

Hitler canceling football seasons is an underrated bad thing he did

If you really like football, he probably wouldn't have started World War II, which de facto canceled the 1942 through 1944 NFL seasons. It wasn't called the NFL, but he canceled football. So in the first place, that's kind of fucked up. And nobody really talks about that when they're talking about all the bad stuff Hitler did. So I'd like to kind of raise a little bit of awareness there.

The NFL did not cancel seasons during WWII. It continued play from 1942-1945, though many players served in the military.

Concussions aren't real

Concussions aren't real. Well, I probably had my brain nicked up a couple times, but if you can pee straighter than you can see after having sex, then that just means you're doing it wrong.

Concussions are well-documented medical conditions. Satirizing the old-school football mentality of denying brain injuries.

Terry Bradshaw was the first NFL player to thank God, making all pre-1972 players blasphemers

My understanding is that the honor belongs to Terry Bradshaw. It was after the Immaculate Reception. And if you look at it from the other way, you can honestly say that every player that played in the NFL before 1972 is probably burning in hell for blasphemy.

Fact ClaimFootballHotSarcastic
There is no evidence Bradshaw was the first player to thank God. The logical leap that all pre-1972 players are in hell for blasphemy is absurdist comedy.
