Your options:
1-Believing something will happen based on bad reasons.
2-Believing something will happen based on good reasons.
3-Not knowing and acknowledging you don't know.
4-Believing something will not happen based on bad reasons.
5-Believing something will not happen based on good reasons.
.
In a one-off, you're right, it doesn't matter.  1 and 2 work just fine.
But as a habit, 1 and 4 are the worse options and will make you wrong MUCH more often.  You'll be right sometimes, but they're the poorest method for being right.  There's literally no reason to do those options.
So if they're the worst method, why choose them, even in a one-off?

HCs who make it about themselves oftentimes do so to take the pressure off the players.  Spurrier did that.  He'd take the blame after losses, saying the coaches failed to coach 'em up.  He knew his little barbs at the opponents would be picked up and that would get the attention and allow the players to focus on playing.

Deion certainly has a history of doing this just to do it, but if your personality aligns with an effective coaching method....shrug.  You do it.

Most *streamed*...

There are going to be a lot of events that are the "most streamed X" in the next couple of years. Because as the viewer base transitions to streaming and the number of streaming subscribers keeps going up, the numbers will keep going up even if these events aren't more popular. 

It's likely just substitution from non-streaming watchers to streaming.

I have no love for the Cheater Buffs but it's a compelling story.  I realize Primetime is a polarizing character, it is what it is I suppose.

And yes I'm so old school I still call him Primetime.

Most streamed is like 'most wins by a QB.'  Yeah, duh.  They play up to 15 games nowadays, when in the past they'd play 10 or 11 per season.  
It's just a way to marvel at the new, shiny thing.  It's all deception.

Hell, as recently as 2011 I bought the old ESPN Gameplan to see a one off MSU game
