Interim head coaches are the best part of the NFL

Interim head coaches are without a doubt the best part of the NFL.

Subjective comedic opinion elevating interim coaches to the best part of the league

Rob Ryan would be the first head coach to accidentally shoot himself with a slingshot

He might be the first head coach to accidentally shoot himself in the groin with a slingshot when he's challenging a fourth and short.

Comedic hypothetical about Rob Ryan's chaotic energy as a head coach

Fox NFL Sunday theme song should be played at PFT's funeral

I'm on record that I want the Fox NFL Sunday music played on a loop at my funeral. That's how you'll know that I'm done and down for the count.

A personal preference take that is probably only half-sarcastic. The Fox NFL Sunday theme is genuinely beloved by football fans.

Being 6-0 isn't impressive because every team has been undefeated at some point

A lot of people forget that at some point this year, every single team has been undefeated. So is 6-0 really that impressive for you guys?

Technically true but deliberately obtuse logic. Classic PFT move to diminish an accomplishment with absurd reasoning.

Blocked Andy Dalton on Twitter to maintain competitive fairness

I had to block Andy Dalton on Twitter, actually, because I feel like he was getting unfair tips and tricks from me. That was kind of like a Patriots thing he had going on, and he was stealing my ideas maybe, and maybe that's why you guys were so good.

Satirical claim that blocking Dalton on Twitter was necessary for competitive balance, referencing the Patriots cheating scandals

NFL teams should scrimmage during the bye week to keep working

Teams should do a full contact scrimmage on Sunday during the bye week at any rate just to keep the work going.

Satirical old-school take that rest and recovery are for the weak

The correct touchdown dance is handing the ball to the ref and acting like you've been there before

Both are incorrect answers. The answer is you hand the ball to the official and you act like you've been there before.

Satirizing the old-school 'act like you've been there' anti-celebration crowd. The NFL actually relaxed celebration rules in 2017.

Alex Smith's dad is Bruce Smith - people forget that

There's guys like Alex Smith, you know, his dad, Bruce Smith. People forget that.

Fact ClaimnflMediumSarcastic
Alex Smith and Bruce Smith are not related. This is Chris Long playing along with PFT's bit of making up fake football family connections. 'People forget that' is a signature PFT catchphrase.

More players should pull a John Elway and refuse to play for anyone but their hometown team

I don't know why more players don't come from college and pull a John Elway and pull themselves out of the draft and refuse to play for any other team except the one that is closest geographically to their hometown. That's what I would do. I guess I'm a little bit more old-fashioned than most people.

Satirical nostalgia for a bygone era, suggesting all players should demand to play for their hometown team

The Rams may have too many good players and not enough weak ones

You've got so many good players. Do you ever think maybe it's a concern that you maybe have too many good players and not enough weak ones?

Satirical concern about roster balance. The Rams finished 7-9 in 2015 despite their strong defensive line.

Too many ducks not enough decoys

Too many ducks, not enough decoys is what I always say.

A vintage PFT malapropism/nonsense coaching cliche. Sounds profound but means nothing.

Sammy Baugh led the league in interceptions while also being a punter and quarterback

A lot of people forget that Sammy Baugh was a punter and also a quarterback and also led the league in interceptions. You don't see that too much because players are pussies nowadays.

Fact ClaimnflMediumSarcastic
This is actually true. In 1943, Sammy Baugh led the NFL in passing, punting, AND interceptions (as a defensive back). One of the most remarkable seasons in NFL history.

John Fox's name literally translates to 'Fox Toilet'

John Fox's name, look it up in the dictionary, literally translates to Fox Toilet. And if I were him, I'd be more worried about plumbers than numbers.

Fact ClaimnflMediumSarcastic
John does not translate to 'toilet' in any standard sense, though 'john' is slang for toilet. Classic PFT deliberately wrong etymology.

PFT and Danny Woodhead are the same size so PFT could play in the NFL

That's actually about my exact size, too. You probably have a little bit more lean mass than I do. We're the same size, so basically you're saying that I could play in the NFL if I wanted to.

Hot TakenflMediumSarcastic
Being the same height and weight as an NFL player does not mean you can play in the NFL. Pure comedy.
