      "criteria": {
        "cooked": "The take makes a real argument and the argument holds up. Somebody could disagree with it, and they would be wrong — the pushback would be denial rather than a rebuttal. This is the normal call for a correct, substantive take; it does not have to be savage to land, it only has to be right about something worth saying.",
        "fair": "Correct but inert. An obvious, uncontroversial, or purely descriptive statement that nobody would argue with in the first place, so there is nothing to land. If the take stakes out a position somebody could dispute and is right anyway, that is COOKED, not this.",
        "cope": "The speaker is excusing their OWN team, player, or result — denial dressed as analysis by somebody with something to protect. The speaker must be the one coping. A take aimed at someone else (\"you\", \"your team\", \"they\") is not cope however much it is about losing or about excuse-making, and naming or mocking cope in other people is a take ABOUT cope rather than an instance of it.",
        "slander": "Mean first, argument second: attacks who a person is rather than how they played or what they decided. Harsh, even brutal criticism of a performance, a scheme, or a coaching decision is not this — that is ordinary football and belongs in one of the other calls.",
        "not_football": "The subject itself is NIL, money, morals, media, fashion, dating, or politics rather than the sport being played. Judge the target, not the vocabulary: if the point being made is that a team, player, or coach is bad at football, it is a football take no matter what it compares them to or borrows its language from."

        "false": "Ordinary football criticism, however harsh or personal, aimed at play, decisions, effort, or character as a competitor. Insulting a player, coach, fanbase, or school is not this — that is what the SLANDER call is for."
