JJ Watt's Hall of Fame candidacy is questionable because he lacks career sack volume

When JJ Watt retired people were having discussions about him being a first ballot hall of famer, which is absolute nonsense. What's, he's not even on the top 20 for career sacks. Meanwhile, Jared Allen is number 12 on that list and has still not gotten in. I'm honestly not sure if Watt should ever be a Hall of Famer.

JJ Watt is widely expected to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer due to his 3 DPOY awards, despite injuries shortening his career.

The EA Sports College Football franchise is the best video game franchise ever

The EA Sports College Football franchise... Best franchise in all video games. I agree. That's a solid take. That's good take.

Subjective opinion on video game quality.

Scotty Scheffler was set up to be arrested by the PGA to boost TV ratings

I have reasons to believe that Scotty was set up to be arrested. If you look at the PGA numbers the day before it was extremely down... They paid a cop to tell Scotty the wrong information. The police department knew what time he'd be coming in and what car he would be in. I believe it was set up for large number of views the next couple days.

Howie Roseman only drafts players based on consensus mock drafts to get high grades from experts

Howie Roseman does a really good job of drafting off of the experts' mock drafts. So every time the Eagles have a draft, everyone's like, holy shit, A plus. They got a guy that we mocked for the first round in the second round... he never didn't take the consensus guy again [after Reagor].

This is a subjective interpretation of a GM's strategy.

Watching Caleb Williams throw a football is like watching Steph Curry play basketball

Albert Breer just put out an entire piece about Caleb Williams... checked all the boxes. Called him a Steph Curry-like experience watching him throw the football. It means Steph Curry's awesome to watch play basketball, so it's like that in football.

Caleb Williams' NFL career is ongoing; his 'Curry-like' impact is still to be determined.

Professional golfers should never miss a putt from 10 feet or closer

Golfers should be better at putting. That's something like if you're a professional golfer, you should just never miss a putt anything 10 feet and in. Should never be missed. Ever. But that's just me.

Hot TakeGolfScorchingSarcastic
Statistically, the best putters on the PGA tour make about 40% of 10-foot putts.
