Dan Campbell might be the first interim head coach to win a Super Bowl

I personally think he might be the first interim head coach to win a Super Bowl.

PredictionnflFireSarcastic
Dan Campbell went 5-7 as Dolphins interim HC in 2015. He later became Lions HC in 2021 and made the NFC Championship in 2023, but never won a Super Bowl as an interim coach.

Jesus was an interim head coach who succeeded like Bill Belichick

Jesus got a start as an interim head coach and it was kind of a Monte Kiffin, Lane Kiffin type situation. God hired his son, let him operate as a coordinator for a while until he proved himself. You got to say it did work out for him in the long term, kind of like a Bill Belichick, Cleveland Browns, Patriots type deal. Ended up in a great position in the long run.

Satirical analogy comparing Jesus's tenure on earth to an NFL interim coaching stint, with God as the owner and Jesus as a nepotism hire who eventually proved himself

Practice until there's a compound fracture to let players control practice length

Day two, we practice until there's a compound fracture. You let the players control how long they play. If there's an injury in the first five minutes, guess what? We're done. If it takes us two hours, we'll be out here all day.

Satirical coaching philosophy mocking old-school toughness culture in football

Throw away the red no-contact jerseys - all lives matter on my football team

I'd also take the red no-contact shirts that the quarterbacks and the kickers wear. I'd throw them in the trash. We don't discriminate on my football team. All lives matter. If you can't handle your contact, then I can't handle your contract.

Satirical take mocking both football toughness culture and the 'All Lives Matter' slogan simultaneously

Replace the training room with a church and a Home Depot catalog

And then what I do is I replace the training room with a church and a Home Depot catalog. And if you can't fix it with a dose of prayer and duct tape, then I'm not sure I want your China doll ass on my team to begin with.

Satirical take mocking the anti-science, pray-it-away, tough-it-out mentality in old-school football

Christians are empirically more successful NFL players than any other denomination

Based on empirical evidence, Christians are much more successful NFL players than any other denomination. You've never heard a quarterback thank Satan for winning the Super Bowl. The NFL stands for Never Faithless. And guess what? Jesus is the leading receiver of all time.

Satirical correlation-equals-causation argument mocking the prevalence of Christian thanking in post-game interviews. 'Jesus is the leading receiver of all time' is an all-time line.

Atheism is the default setting for humans - a lazy man's religion

Atheism, it's a lazy man's religion because it's the default setting for humans. When you get reincarnated, God hits the reset to manufacturer specifications button on your soul, and it's up to you to figure out a way out of the mess.

Satirical theological argument mixing reincarnation with Christianity and framing it in tech support language

Joe Flacco is not elite - Serial investigation

Is Joe Flacco an elite quarterback? This week's episode: he gets paid like one. Could it be a coincidence that Flacco had bet on himself going into the best season of all time? You have to ask yourself, who stood to gain from Flacco's Super Bowl victory? And the answer is, you guessed it, Joe Flacco. Just weeks after winning the championship, the Ravens rewarded him with a six-year, $120 million contract. You can't make this stuff up, folks. It's as plain as the nose underneath your eyebrow. Not Elite.

The 'Is Joe Flacco elite?' debate was a signature PFT bit. Presented as a parody of the Serial podcast (hugely popular in 2014-15), treating Flacco's competence like an unsolved mystery. His verdict: Not Elite. Flacco's post-Super Bowl career largely supports this take.

Ray Nagin spent New Orleans' electricity budget on drive-through daiquiris and bribes

The Superdome lights burned out because the city of New Orleans hadn't paid their bills. Former Mayor Ray Nagin had spent the entire city's electricity budget on drive-through daiquiris and bribes.

Ray Nagin was indeed convicted of corruption charges (bribery, fraud, money laundering) in 2014. The Super Bowl blackout was actually caused by a relay device. The daiquiri detail is embellishment but the corruption charge is real.

Flacco disappeared for 15 minutes during the Super Bowl blackout and no one can account for his whereabouts

When asked what he was doing during the half-hour break, Flacco says he doesn't recall, and that he was probably just hanging out with friends and stuff. But that doesn't really check out when you dig into it, especially when you consider that there was about 15 minutes of game time where Flacco disappeared, no stats at all, and no one can account for his whereabouts.

Satirical conspiracy theory treating the Super Bowl XLVII blackout as a mystery and Flacco's poor second half as evidence of suspicious activity. Presented in the style of the Serial podcast.

Jason Pierre-Paul is injured because the game is literally called football, not handball

He's been sitting out the past couple of weeks with a blown up hand, really milking it. And the name of the game is literally football. How important is your hand? This isn't pinch ball or smoke a cigarette ball. And again, it makes sense that a guy who lost both his thumb and forefinger is out there missing snaps. So I'll give this one to him. I'm not happy about it. JPP is injured.

JPP famously blew off fingers in a fireworks accident in July 2015. The grudging concession that losing fingers counts as injured is peak PFT.
