Ditka's would-be supporters went on to root for Donald Trump

Instead, I guess he's got all of his supporters that would go on to root for Donald Trump after they had a stroke or something.

October 2015, months before Trump won the GOP primary. Connecting Ditka's hypothetical conservative base to Trump supporters was prescient about the populist overlap.

Danny Woodhead is not deceptively athletic, he's undeceptively athletic

Some people say that you're deceptively athletic, but I just think that you're undeceptively athletic, and it should be plain to anybody watching you.

Satirizing the way white NFL players are described as 'deceptively fast/athletic,' a coded racial trope PFT frequently lampooned. This became a recurring PMT bit.

Danny Woodhead not getting a penalty shouldn't be celebrated — I don't get an award for completing probation

I respect the fact that you have never been penalized in the NFL. I think it's impressive, but isn't it a little bit silly that people are celebrating you for not breaking the law? Like, it's sad that it's come to the point where you've got literally only one player in the league who plays by the rules. It's like I don't get an award if I complete my probation without breaking back into the pet store.

Woodhead's zero-penalty streak was real and written about. PFT reframes following the rules as baseline behavior rather than an achievement.
