No other quarterback could survive in Pittsburgh like Big Ben

There's no other quarterback in the league can play in Pittsburgh the way [Roethlisberger] have played... he's just a tough son of a gun.

A subjective evaluation of a player's fit and durability in a specific market.

Demaryius Thomas beat the Steelers in the 2011 playoffs, not Tim Tebow

It wasn't Tebow. It was DT... DT gave me a mean ass stiff arm... Everybody was like, Tebow Mania. I mean, it was. But that was DT, man.

While Tebow threw the pass, Demaryius Thomas did the majority of the work on the 80-yard play. This is a matter of interpretation.

Le'Veon Bell's absence accelerated Antonio Brown's departure from the Steelers

The locker room wasn't the locker room until Le'Veon left. Le'Veon is the mediator of everything... his absence, you think, helped accelerate the Antonio Brown stuff? For me, 100%.

This is an internal locker room dynamic observation from a former player, which is inherently subjective but highly credible.

Jared Dudley is a clown

I'm just going to say totally unbiased, even though I'm biased because I don't like Jared Dudley because he denied an interview on Pardon My Take and canceled last second. I think Jared Dudley's a clown.

Subjective opinion on a player's personality and status in a playoff series.

Ben Simmons will eventually develop a jump shot

So I think [Ben] Simmons will eventually develop a jump shot to complement the rest of his game, but it's going to take him a while, and I think mentally it's tougher when you see an opponent giving you such flagrant disrespect.

Ben Simmons famously never developed a reliable jump shot, with his career stalling largely due to this exact flaw.

The 'Curse of Barry Trotz' will haunt the Capitals in the playoffs

Are you a little worried about the curse of Barry Trotz? Because I just decided there's a curse of Barry Trotz... where the team that fires him [gets punished]... now he's going to get his vengeance.

While the Caps lost in the first round in 2019, the 'curse' as defined by a matchup with Trotz's Islanders didn't happen until the 2020 playoffs, where the Islanders beat the Capitals.

The Redskins will trade for Josh Rosen

I think that Josh Rosen is—I'm calling my shot. I think that Josh Rosen is going to be a Redskin. I think that they're going to make a deal.

Rosen was traded to the Miami Dolphins, not the Washington Redskins.

Arya Stark will get pregnant and Gendry will die in Game of Thrones

Which probably means that Gendry's going to die, Arya's going to get pregnant. Because in this show, basically, if you have sex like that, you're pregnant.

In the series finale, Gendry survived and became Lord of Storm's End, and Arya did not get pregnant.

Bran Stark will either kill someone or is the Night King

I'm still very woke on Bran. I think that Bran is either going to kill somebody... he's the Night King... he could be the Night King.

Bran Stark was not the Night King; he became 'Bran the Broken', King of the Andals and the First Men.

Greg Popovich is trying to sabotage NBA stars with wine

I truly think that he uses it as an advantage to be like, I'm going to turn LeBron James into an alcoholic so my San Antonio Spurs can still look like we're still in dynasty mode.

This is a humorous conspiracy theory with no basis in literal fact.
