Sam Darnold might be the most talented pure thrower in 49ers history

There was another great hot take out there in the world of football. Did you guys see what they said about Sam Darnold today?... He said Sam Darnold might be the most talented thrower of football that the 49ers have ever had... Most talented thrower. He didn't say best quarterback... basically what he said was, 'I wanna fuck his spiral.'

Extremely subjective and controversial. While Darnold has a strong arm, comparing him to Hall of Famers like Montana and Young in 'pure throwing' is generally considered hyperbole.

The LIV Tour will eventually do for golf what Tiger Woods did in the late 90s

You just give the live tour three years. And I predict that every kid, every young kid across America, it's gonna do for golf what Tiger Woods did for golf in 19 98, 19 99. It's gonna be a phenomenon.

While LIV merged with the PGA Tour in a sense, it hasn't created a 'Tiger-level' youth phenomenon, and its popularity remains contentious.

Coach K is the biggest front-running fraud of all time

Coach K is the biggest front-running fraud of all time. Not to brag, but we called it. It was a one game. Hank, they lost to Michigan State. They got killed by Illinois. And then Coach K said, we got to reassess and start really thinking about this COVID thing.

This is a subjective character judgment, though Coach K's decision to pause the season after losses was widely criticized as opportunistic.

LeBron James should go to jail for giving his kids wine

Hot take, LeBron James should definitely go to jail, and this is the worst parenting move of all time, and I cannot believe that he is poisoning his children. I'm disgusted. I deleted my screensaver of LeBron James in a Lakers uniform, and I'll probably never watch NBA again.

This is a comedic performance; LeBron did not go to jail, nor should he have for a supervised sip of wine.

Trevor Bauer is the dumbest player in Major League Baseball

What it basically amounts to is Trevor Bauer is the dumbest player in Major League Baseball, possibly sports... Trevor Bauer got spooked by a fake tweet in 2011 that Obama was going to take his fighting necklaces and confiscate them.

Intellectual capacity is subjective, but Bauer's career has been marked by several controversial and bizarre incidents that fuel this perception among critics.

Pat Riley is going to die soon because he's spending 10 days writing a single email

Pat Riley's going to die soon. ... Dwayne Wade thing pretty hard. And he said, ... Pat hasn't spoken to Dwayne post decision yet. He said, I've been crafting a very long email to him. He's been writing an email for like 10 days now. I feel like that's the end. When you're just sitting there with an open Word document and he's like, don't bother me.

Pat Riley is still alive as of 2024, nearly a decade after this take was made.
