Since 2015, Fred Segal has been sharing unprophetic sports predictions on the internet, often featuring quotes and predictions from members of the sports world that have aged poorly or were flat-out wrong. His Freezing Cold Takes social media pages have become a guilty pleasure for hundreds of thousands of sports fans who enjoy seeing (and mocking) sports media's infamous hot takes that went cold.
In his new book, Segal focuses on the NFL and presents a vast collection of poorly aged predictions and analysis from NFL media members and personalities about some of the league's most famous teams and players. He also delves into ill-fated commentary related to draft picks, hiring decisions, and some of the NFL's most notable games.
However, this book is more than just a collection of quotes. It goes beyond content mined from internet archives and original interviews with media, players, and coaches. Segal provides important background surrounding each featured mistake to offer essential context as to why the ill-fated prediction was made and why the personality who made the prediction is now eating their words.
The fourteen chapters, each spotlighting Freezing Cold Takes about a specific team or topic within a certain defined period, create a unique and endlessly entertaining lens through which to explore NFL history. Here are a few illustrative examples:
- (1987-94 San Francisco 49ers): The 49ers should do everyone a favor. Trade Steve Young. The myth. And the man.
- (1989-93 Dallas Cowboys): The Vikings fleeced the Cowboys to get Herschel Walker.
- (2000 New England Patriots): The Patriots will regret hiring Bill Belichick.
- (2008 Green Bay Packers): Brian Brohm has more upside than Aaron Rodgers.
- (NFL Draft): The Eagles should draft Michael Vick in the first round.
These examples only scratch the surface of the mistakes and analysis featured in Segal's book. Whether you're a sports fan or just someone interested in the history of the NFL, "Freezing Cold Takes" is a must-read for anyone who loves to laugh at (and learn from) sports media's most infamous blunders.
