Coronavirus is an overrated threat with a 'trash' mortality rate

I would say that the Corona virus is overrated because it only has a two percent mortality rate, which frankly is trash like 2% get Okay, and I would I would honestly get coronavirus just for the content. I think it would be a good addition to the show.

The COVID-19 pandemic became one of the most significant global events in history, causing millions of deaths and major social upheaval, far exceeding an 'overrated' 8-seed ranking.

Coronavirus is currently a solid 8-seed in the 'Who's Now' bracket

I'll say it to you this way in my who's now bracket. The Corona virus is a solid eight seed.

OpinionLifeHotSarcastic
Within weeks, the virus essentially shut down the entire world, making it the clear #1 seed of global concerns for years.

Odell Beckham Jr. is actually a workmanlike professional who just goes about his business

I'm kind of on Odell's side here because those newspapers and all those media outlets have unfairly criticized him. He's just a guy who goes about his business, doesn't make things about him... Workmanlike. Punch in, punch out. So I'm on his side.

OpinionFootballHotSarcastic
This is a satirical characterization that contradicts OBJ's actual high-profile behavior at the time.

Peyton Manning hosting the ESPYs will not be good

I feel like this is going to suck, but... what do I know? Unless they just have him on stage drilling those Boys and Girls Club in the face with the footballs. He should just do that for like two hours.

Manning's hosting was generally well-received by critics, though it leaned heavily into the 'safe' jokes PFT predicted.

The 2016 creepy clown sightings are a viral marketing stunt for the movie 'It'

What's behind all of this is that Stephen King's movie It is coming out in a couple months. They're doing a remake of it. That's it then.

While it was a popular theory, New Line Cinema and the producers of 'It' denied any involvement in the sightings.

Jay Mariotti is the senior Icelandic correspondent for Pardon My Take

Jay, you will be our senior Iceland correspondent. Done... Jay Mariotti has been named senior Icelandic correspondent for Pardon My Take.

OpinionMediaHotSarcastic
This was a joke hire meant to mock Mariotti's career decline and his odd comments about Icelandic content.
