Interim head coaches are the best part of the NFL

Interim head coaches are without a doubt the best part of the NFL.

Subjective comedic opinion elevating interim coaches to the best part of the league

Instead of going back in time to kill Hitler, we should go back to make Hitler comparisons earlier

Maybe instead of going back in time to kill Hitler, we should figure out a way to make people go back in time so that we can be able to make comparisons to Hitler before Hitler rises to power. And a lot of people don't think about that type of thing, but I do.

Absurdist philosophical take satirizing the tendency of internet commenters to make Hitler comparisons about everything

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

If you're swallowing you're wallowing - players shouldn't need water breaks

I turn off the water supply of the building, too. If you're swallowing, you're wallowing. I want players who don't need water breaks. It's also an unnecessary expense, and the owner will be very appreciative of my cost-cutting efforts.

Satirical take mocking dangerous old-school coaching practices around hydration

Locker rooms should have cruise ship mentality, not submarine mentality

People say that a locker room is like a submarine mentality. I want it to be above water, not below it. It's more of a cruise ship mentality. Water's cut off, there's shit on the deck, the buffet's out of everything except for Chinese Jell-O, and everyone's thirsty, but guess what? We're in it together.

Satirical riff on the 'locker room culture' discourse, referencing the 2013 Carnival Triumph cruise ship disaster

Masturbation strike until Rob Ryan gets an interim head coaching opportunity

I am personally willing to put my money where my mouth is for a Rob Ryan head coaching tenure. I'm ready to go on a masturbation strike until Rob Ryan gets at least an interim head coaching opportunity. No Rob, no rub. That's a fact. It's quite literally the least I could do.

Satirical pledge. Rob Ryan never got an interim HC gig. The 'No Rob, no rub' line is peak PFT.

J.J. Watt's illness is only a hurt - having the flu is an advantage

If you're sick enough to tell your coach that you can't play, in my book, then you're healthy enough to get out there, strap it up, and play. In fact, I'd say having the flu would technically be an advantage. If I'm a coach, I tell my running back, I say, son, you get that ball, you grab onto it, you cough directly onto the ball every time and let the defense see you cough. That way, if you fumble it, they're going to be a little freaked out and they're not going to want to recover it straight up.

Satirical take from the 'hurt or injured' segment. The coughing-on-the-football strategic advice is deliberately absurd.

Jamal Charles ACL tear is only a hurt - kids should preemptively tear their ACLs

If a running back was born without two knee ligaments, then they wouldn't have had their entire life to become over-reliant on their knee ligaments, and they'd actually be fine. So what I'm advocating is almost like a Tommy John type deal. It's an operation for the young kids. You preemptively tear both your ACLs, and so then that way they have more time to unlearn the bad habits that you get from playing on healthy knees before you become a pro.

Deliberately absurd medical advice satirizing the 'tough it out' mentality. Compares preemptive ACL tears to Tommy John surgery as a development tool.

Arian Foster should convert to Christianity to improve his play

Arian Foster is a noted atheist. If there's one thing that God hates more than the devil, it's people like Foster who don't have the courage to believe in anything beyond the nose on their face. Atheism, it's a lazy man's religion because it's the default setting for humans.

Satirical take mocking the idea that religious faith affects athletic performance. Foster was notably one of the few openly atheist NFL players at the time.

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

Baptism is the ultimate participation trophy

When you think about it, isn't baptizing a child the ultimate participation trophy? They haven't earned shit yet. They're just a little kid. And you're trying to get them into the kingdom of heaven? I'm sorry, maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but that's some bullshit. You have to go out there and you have to earn eternal salvation. All of a sudden, we're giving this kid the keys to the kingdom just for showing up? That doesn't sound like the God I know. My God doesn't like moochers.

Satirical take comparing baptism to participation trophies. Pure PFT comedy.
