Welcome back to The MMQB’s Bad Takes Week, a quadrennial (for now, I guess?) follow-up you didn’t know you needed. To offer a quick refresher: Back in the summer of 2019, we decided to round up our worst takes and dish them out for public consumption. Now, largely because it’s July, we’re doing it again.
We all have bad takes. That one idea we just know would improve our world, but is way too complicated to actually pull off. The contrarian argument that maybe begins as a performative defense of a silly idea but morphs into The One Hill You Would Die On.
And now, like a Summer Olympics or a presidential election, we’ve decided four years is an appropriate amount of time to pass before returning to the world’s stage.
