Coleslaw is both a salad and a liquid that keeps you hydrated

Coleslaw is the rare food that is both a salad and a liquid at the same time. So if you eat enough coleslaw, you stay hydrated.

Fact ClaimFoodMediumSarcastic
While coleslaw contains water from the cabbage and dressing, it is not considered a hydration source by any nutritional standard.

You are statistically less likely to get a concussion without a helmet because you protect your head more

I think you're actually statistically less likely to get a concussion when you're not wearing a helmet. [PFT]: Agree, because you protect your head more. That's a basic fact of human reaction to things.

While some studies suggest un-helmeted athletes play more cautiously, the claim that it is 'statistically' safer is highly contested and generally considered incorrect in the context of high-impact sports like football.

Kyle Shanahan is the most likely coach to be the first one ejected under new NFL rules

I think a sneaky one is Kyle Shanahan because, one, he's a dick. Number two, he's got that entitlement thing, or at least the refs will think he's got that entitlement thing. So if he says one thing that crosses the line, they'll be like, I'm going to teach you a lesson.

Kyle Shanahan has not been notably ejected from games, and ejections for head coaches remain extremely rare in the NFL.

John Madden is actually dead and the NFL uses fake quotes for PR

The theory of this show is that John Madden has been dead for years and that the NFL just uses fake John Madden quotes for PR. Anytime you want to get real football fans behind you, just tell them that John Madden says it's like this.

John Madden was alive until December 2021.

The Falcons technically won the Super Bowl according to Bill Belichick's math

[Belichick's] exact quote was really at halftime the game is two thirds over because the fourth quarter is just situational football. So spin zone, the Falcons technically won the Super Bowl.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
The Patriots won the game officially; PFT is making a joke based on Belichick's coaching philosophy.

Chip Kelly will be the offensive coordinator for LSU

I'm just going to put this out here. Chip Kelly to LSU. Offense coordinator? I'm just saying, Chip Kelly to LSU, even though him and Coach O, they don't speak the same language.

Chip Kelly did not go to LSU; Matt Canada was hired as OC, and Kelly later became the UCLA head coach.

Jeff Fisher will become a VP of Football Operations for the Chargers

I think we called it he's going to be vice president of football operations somewhere. ... For maybe when the Chargers move. ... The Chargers fire McCoy.

Neil deGrasse Tyson's only job is to tweet nerd shit

By the way, you know what Neil's job is? Just to tweet nerd shit. To just look at stars, right? His job is to stand inside a planetarium with a laser pointer.

While Tyson is a public communicator of science, he is an astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium, not just a Twitter personality.

Mike Zimmer definitely has his play card written on the inside of his eye patch

I thought that [Mike Zimmer] had his play card written on the inside, like crib notes on the inside of his eyepatch. That was probably a really efficient move on his part.

Obviously not true; the eyepatch was for medical reasons after multiple surgeries for a detached retina.

The best way to treat a concussion is 'hair of the dog'—getting another minor brain injury to help you get back out there

It goes along my theory. It's kind of the hair of the dog theory. You know how if you're hungover, best thing you can do, have another drink when you wake up. If you get a concussion, best thing to do is give yourself another small minor brain injury to help you just get back out there.

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
Medical science does not support causing further brain injury to treat a concussion; in fact, second-impact syndrome is extremely dangerous.

Coach Orgeron is a cult leader whose novelty will wear off because he is not smart enough to sustain success.

The thing with Coach O is he's basically a cult leader, right? He gets in, and he gets these kids really, really fired up because he's got a huge personality... But he's too dumb to be a good cult leader. So, like, the novelty of being in a cult and really enjoying your cult status, like, it's going to wear off pretty quickly.

Coach Orgeron eventually proved he could sustain success at the highest level, leading LSU to an undefeated 15-0 season and a National Championship in 2019.

Pissing rhabdo-colored urine makes you the best possible teammate

That dark shade of brown that's above clear piss. That's if you have rhabdo. That's when you're actually the best teammate. Sacrificing yourself. When your body is deteriorating, your muscle is deteriorating and you're pissing it out.

Hot TakeLifeFireSarcastic
Medically, rhabdomyolysis is a life-threatening condition, not a sign of being a good teammate.
