No one will be put in a position of importance in America if they have weird hair

No one's going to get put into a position of importance in America if they have weird hair. That's a fact.

Fact ClaimPoliticsHotSarcastic
At the time, Donald Trump, known for his unique hairstyle, was President. This makes the claim literally incorrect while being sarcastically pointed.

Mike Gundy's mullet should be considered an NCAA recruiting violation

I actually threw out the idea that [Mike Gundy's] mullet might now become a recruiting violation because who wouldn't want to play for him?

Hot TakeCFBMildSarcastic
Hair has never been categorized as a recruiting violation by the NCAA.

Serena Williams could beat Tiger Woods in golf right now

The real question is it sounds like Serena Williams could beat Tiger Woods now.

Hot TakeGolfScorchingSarcastic
Even at Tiger's absolute worst, he remained a professional golfer capable of shooting professional scores that Serena Williams, a tennis player, could not beat.

Mitch Trubisky should start early because the Tim Tebow model worked for John Fox

John Fox... just said he wants to start getting Mitch Trubisky as much experience as possible, as early as possible... because it worked really well when he got Tebow. All that experience right away.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
Trubisky did eventually start in Week 5 of his rookie year, but the 'Tebow model' comparison is purely satirical.

The Browns hiring Ryan Grigson is a threat to the AFC North

My hot seat is the AFC North. And my reason why is because the Browns hired Ryan Grigson. So watch out... I'm very excited to see how Ryan Grigson can fuck up the Browns even more. It will be interesting. That's a great challenge for that guy.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
Grigson's tenure in Cleveland was brief and unremarkable, and the Browns went 0-16 that following season (2017).

I'm destined to see Ovechkin win a Stanley Cup with a different team

The Washington Capitals are... Our fans, we're entering cuck territory. And it's Ray Bourque all over again. So I'm destined over the next five years to see Ovechkin win a Stanley Cup with a different team. And for me to cry during it and be like, I'm so glad and applaud him and be like, I'm glad he finally got his chance.

Ovechkin won the Stanley Cup with the Capitals the very next season (2018).

The Capitals and Ovechkin should split up because their regular season success is too good

I do think I am of the mindset that the Capitals and the [Ovechkin] should just be like, you know, hey, maybe this thing isn't working out anymore. Maybe our sex is just too good. Our regular season sex is too good. So we got to split up.

The Capitals and Ovechkin stayed together and won the Stanley Cup the very next season (2018).

Brad Stevens is coaching for his job because the #1 pick brings higher expectations

My hot seat is Brad Stevens. We advance another round. It means he has at least four more games. He's coaching for his job out there. And the number one pick. That's higher expectations.

Hot TakeBasketballHotSarcastic
Brad Stevens remained the Celtics coach until he transitioned to the front office in 2021; he was never actually on the hot seat in 2017.

LeVar Ball will eventually replace Luke Walton as the Lakers' head coach

In about two years when LeVar Ball gets Luke Walton out as a Lakers coach and takes over as coach. That's going to be great.

LeVar Ball never coached the Lakers. Luke Walton was replaced by Frank Vogel in 2019.

Bill Belichick already has conditions on the Browns' number one overall pick for a Jimmy Garoppolo trade.

I think that it's Belichick's pick if he wants it for Garoppolo. Belichick's just such a dick that he institutes his own conditions on other teams' draft picks before he even takes them.

The Browns kept the #1 pick (Myles Garrett) and Garoppolo was later traded to the 49ers for a second-round pick.

Kyle Shanahan is making a huge mistake by trading for Kirk Cousins as a first-year coach

Kyle Shanahan... Looks like he's going to trade for Kirk Cousins. Big mistake, Kyle. We as football guys, guys know the last thing you want to do if you're a new coach is get your guy in there day one. Because then you have no excuse.

The 49ers never traded for Kirk Cousins. Cousins played the 2017 season on the franchise tag in Washington and then signed with the Vikings in 2018.

Concussions are a private family matter and the government should stay out of it

Whether or not a kid has a concussion, that's a private matter. That's a family matter. It's nobody's business. Handle it behind closed doors. Keep your government Dr. Obamacare death panel hands off my son. I'm going to be the one to tell whether or not he's seeing double.

Clearly a satirical position; medically, concussions are serious injuries that require professional oversight, not just 'family discussion'.

John Calipari will leave Kentucky for the Pelicans to escape looming NCAA sanctions

He needs to get out of town, needs to go to the NBA... The NCAA sanctions are about to hit Kentucky. That's a fact. I'm just calling that right now. So he needs to get out of town, needs to go to the NBA... Be a perfect fit for the Pelicans. You've got two of his best players from college that are playing there.

Calipari stayed at Kentucky until 2024 and no major NCAA sanctions hit the program during this period.

Sammy Sosa put Chicago on the map when nobody knew where it was

Chip Kelly will try to steal someone's job as a behind-the-scenes villain at Alabama

If there's somebody who's able to undermine and sneak around and steal somebody's job, it's definitely Chip. Chip is a behind-the-scenes Shakespearean villain. He's going to be doing everything that he can to make sure he gets that job.

Chip Kelly never actually joined the Alabama staff; he remained in media before taking the UCLA head coach job in late 2017.

NFL teams should hire Jeff Ireland as an outside consultant to ask prospects the toughest questions at the combine

The Chicago Bears will win the Super Bowl next year

Alshon Jeffrey guaranteed a Super Bowl victory. So you get one year now, a little more than one year, 13 months. Go ahead and keep doubting. He guaranteed it. He guaranteed the Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl next year.

The Bears went 5-11 in 2017 and did not win the Super Bowl. Alshon Jeffrey actually won it that year—with the Eagles.

Sam Bradford had the best season for a quarterback in NFL history because of his completion percentage

Congratulations. Sam Bradford, best quarterback in NFL history, best season. His QB rating was the sixth overall. I'm just saying, I think Vikings fans would actually have my back on this. That trade wasn't that bad.

While Bradford did set the completion percentage record in 2016, calling it the 'best season in NFL history' is factually incorrect as the Vikings finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

Donald Trump has nothing to worry about and will serve two full terms as President

So [Trump] met with Kanye today... And Kanye tweeted after he was originally going to run in 2020. He's not going to run until 2024... So Trump is good. Trump has nothing to worry about. Two terms. Eight years. The only thing holding him back from not being president is now over.

Trump served one term (2017-2021) and lost the 2020 election, though he eventually won a second term in 2024. The prediction of 'eight years' consecutively or 'nothing to worry about' for 2020 was incorrect.

Brad Stevens is on the hot seat

My hot seat, Brad Stevens. He's 5-5. He's coming into the season, predicted to be number two. He's coaching for his job.

Stevens was never fired by the Celtics; he coached them until 2021 and then was promoted to President of Basketball Operations.

The Steelers are on the Hot Seat because they are no longer playing 'Steelers football'

My hot seat is Steelers football. Pittsburgh is not playing Steelers football. They're not winning. They're not playing defense... they're not running the ball, they're 25th in the league in running. Pittsburgh needs to get back to running the ball and stopping the run.

The Steelers actually rebounded, won 7 straight games after this, and made the AFC Championship Game.

A team of college basketball players could beat an NBA team because they try harder

NBA players don't try. They don't try like the college kids... I can't be the only one who thinks that a team of college players could put together a team and beat an NBA team. At least they would try harder.

This is generally considered impossible in modern professional sports due to the talent and size gap, regardless of 'effort'.

Next year is finally Tennessee's year and Butch Jones needs one more season

I'm going to say that you've got to give Butch Jones one more year. He's got a good recruiting class, and next year is Tennessee's year. I really think so.

Tennessee went 4-8 in 2017 and 0-8 in the SEC, arguably the worst season in program history, resulting in Butch Jones being fired.

Mike Brown is the ultimate hot seat guy and a sacrificial lamb for the Warriors

Mike Brown's the ultimate hot seat guy. And I actually like this move by the Warriors, by Steve Kerr. Got to have a hot seat guy around. So if Kevin Durant starts to falter, if this team, this super team doesn't do so well, Mike Brown's going to be the first to go. Also, Mike Brown is a sacrificial lamb. He stumbles out of bed every morning on the hot seat.

Mike Brown remained on staff through multiple championships and wasn't fired as a scapegoat.

Chip Kelly is on the Ice Throne because he intentionally stocks his roster with bad players to buy more time

I think Chip Kelly's on the ice throne, too... Because he's got blame gap. One thing that Chip Kelly is really great at is stockpiling his rosters with the shittiest quarterbacks... He's stocking his roster up with bad, bad players. And then he can be like, well, I didn't have the personnel this year. I'm still implementing my system.

Hot TakeFootballFireSarcastic
Chip Kelly was fired after just one season (2-14) with the 49ers, so the Ice Throne did not protect him.
