PFT CommenterChristians are empirically more successful NFL players than any other denomination
Based on empirical evidence, Christians are much more successful NFL players than any other denomination. You've never heard a quarterback thank Satan for winning the Super Bowl. The NFL stands for Never Faithless. And guess what? Jesus is the leading receiver of all time.
PFT CommenterAlex Smith's dad is Bruce Smith - people forget that
There's guys like Alex Smith, you know, his dad, Bruce Smith. People forget that.
PFT CommenterFlacco disappeared for 15 minutes during the Super Bowl blackout and no one can account for his whereabouts
When asked what he was doing during the half-hour break, Flacco says he doesn't recall, and that he was probably just hanging out with friends and stuff. But that doesn't really check out when you dig into it, especially when you consider that there was about 15 minutes of game time where Flacco disappeared, no stats at all, and no one can account for his whereabouts.
PFT CommenterBrandon Weeden and Chris Weinke regressed because they won too many games in college
You've got players like spring chickens like your Brandon Weeden's and your Chris Weinke's, two young fellows that made it to the NFL, but they had won too many games in college, and they quickly regressed and kind of became garbage.
PFT CommenterJoe Flacco is elite because he literally blew out the Superdome scoreboard
My subsequent investigation determined that the 21-point first-half beatdown that Baltimore hung all over the 49ers was the highest first-half point total in the Dome that year, up until that point. The scoreboard simply couldn't handle all the electricity needed to keep up with Flacco's lightning, quick-release and high-voltage offense. Quite simply, he blew the scoreboard out. That sounds pretty damn elite to me.
PFT CommenterTerry 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.
PFT CommenterSammy 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.
PFT CommenterJoe Montana was the first white quarterback to win a Super Bowl after a black quarterback won one
A lot of people forget this, but he was the first white quarterback to win a Super Bowl in NFL history after a black one won one.
PFT CommenterJohn Fox saying you need more than zero points to win is a stats lie
Bears coach John Fox said, 'We need to generate more than zero points to win games.' I fact checked it and went to the archives. Big shout out to the guys at Pro Football Focus. In 1921, the Rochester Jeffersons forfeited to the Washington Senators because the field was unplayable. So Washington literally scored no points and walked away with a huge road win. You've got to be smarter than this if you're a head coach like John Fox.
PFT CommenterJohn 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.
