It is fair to laugh at the President when they fall because walking is a basic human skill

Walking is one of the first things we learned to do. Someone's like, would you make fun of your grandmother if she fell? I was like, well my grandmother's dead and she's not the president. You kind of sign up to get made fun of by becoming president when you fall.

This is an inherently subjective opinion about humor and public figures.

My career at PMT will eventually become a legendary redemption hero story

I will win one and it'll be a real redemption hero story for the ages. I'm sure people are gonna be writing novels about me.

Max's teams have continued to experience high-profile collapses (Eagles late 2023, Phillies 2023 NLCS) since this take.

Once 2020 ends, everything will get back to normal and be perfect

Once 2020 ends, everything's going to get back to normal to be perfect. You think 2020 is going to run up the score on us?

Dan Wolken had the worst take of the year for laughing at LSU's hire of Ed Orgeron

Dan Wolken... tweeted in 2017: yesterday a college football coaches agent called me. He said LSU hired Ed Orgeron. We laughed for a few minutes. So good job, Dan that turned out to be the worst take ever. Who's laughing now bitch? Haha.

Ed Orgeron led LSU to an undefeated season and a national title, proving the initial laughter at the hire wrong.

Tom Brady's move to Tampa Bay is the only reason Rob Gronkowski returned from retirement

I think that the workload the Patriots wanted [Gronk] to do was higher than something at Tampa is going to have him do... if Tom Brady had stuck around in New England Rob Gronkowski probably still be retired.

Gronk's return coincided exactly with Brady's move, supporting this narrative.

Rob Gronkowski is definitely coming back to the NFL.

Rob Gronkowski and his fake retirement because he's definitely coming back. Definitely coming back... Lindsey Vonn was like, oh, we're a bunch of old people. And he took great offense to that. Which means he's coming back.

Correct. Gronk sat out 2019 but returned to play for the Buccaneers in 2020.

Bill Simmons 'spiked the football' too early on the 2018-19 Celtics.

Attacking that little extra part at the end, [Bill Simmons said] 'they're going to be up 30 points in a lot of them.' In a lot of them. Yeah, that's just spiking the football when you haven't even scored yet.

Simmons' prediction was objectively incorrect as the Celtics struggled and were bounced early.

Guy Fieri's food is the best food I've ever had

I'm a big Guy Fieri guy, so I feel like I can say this. The food was phenomenal. Best food I've ever had.

This is entirely a matter of taste, though widely considered a contrarian/ironic food take.

Stephen A. Smith would have successfully prosecuted O.J. Simpson

I actually don't disagree with Stephen A. Smith here... Because I actually do think he would have been able to put O.J. Simpson in jail. He is so exhausting as an arguer, as a person, that I think that the jury would have just said, 'you know what, just have Stephen A. Smith stop talking and we'll put [Simpson] in jail.'

A purely hypothetical outcome based on a celebrity's personality.
