Trey Mancini is the Comeback Player of the Year

Comeback player of the year. We're going to [Trey Mancini]. I think that's well-deserved came back from cancer. I mean, who can top that? Yeah, he, he was beaten out by [Klay Thompson], who came back from an ACL. [Trey Mancini] came back from cancer.

The 2022 AL Comeback Player of the Year was actually Justin Verlander, though Mancini was a sentimental favorite.

Russell Wilson is reaching 'turn on tweet notifications' territory because of how corny he is

I was thinking about that yesterday. [Russell Wilson] is dangerously close to crossing into turn on tweet notifications territory. Because like, you never know what you're gonna get with [Russell Wilson] and it's going to be extremely corny, but extremely funny.

This is subjective social media commentary.

The LIV Golf tour is a failure as a sports-washing operation because it only makes people talk about Saudi Arabia's human rights record

The entire premise of the LIV tour through the public investment fund is to be like a giant commercial for Saudi Arabia... It's been a gigantic failure on that respect because all anyone talks about is how bad Saudi Arabia is when LIV tour comes up... it's definitely the Streisand effect.

While LIV gained traction later, its early years were dominated by controversy rather than positive PR for Saudi Arabia.

The Bengals' white helmets will make them faster on offense but a liability on special teams

I think that the Bengals white helmets, it makes them faster on offense. They'll score... but special teams will be liability, kick coverage, especially, and kickoff returns. I don't see that working out well.

This is satirical and cannot be verified by stats.

Cardinals Week 1 against the Chiefs is a lock

I think [Arizona] Cardinals week one's when we a lock of the week... he's [Kyler Murray] engineered to be an early season guy with a home against the [Kansas City] Chiefs. It's a great game.

The Chiefs blew out the Cardinals 44-21 in Week 1 of 2022.

Tiramisu is a bottom-tier dessert

I'm the man who will eat every dessert in the world. Tiramisu is bottom tier dessert. It's all fancy... It's the texture that I don't like. I don't like the texture of tiramisu... Tiramisu is coffee flavor. Just drink the coffee. It's way better.

This is an aesthetic/culinary opinion.

Joel Embiid should have won the MVP

Obviously I'm going to I'm on the [Joel Embiid] campaign of why he didn't win MVP, but it is what it is.

Nikola Jokic won the 2021-22 MVP.

NBA players are often targeted on defense based on their appearance

When you look like the slow white guy, that's kinda like the, the worst is when someone's like pointing at you and the other guy runs up and the guy's like, no, no, no him. And if you're on the other end of that, it's it sucks.

This is a first-hand account of his professional experience.

Being deceptively slow is an advantage in the NBA

Because everybody's used to these dudes being so fast and when you change it up and someone goes slow, like it's tough to go from fast to slow... If I hit you with a six mile an hour, that's like Tim Wakefield and the knuckleball.

He's managed a long NBA career despite his lack of traditional elite athleticism, supporting the claim.

Icing injuries is actually bad for recovery

Turns out ice is bad. I'm actually going to write a blog on that. There's tons of ice and cold is terrible for healing. It shuts down your inflammatory response, which actually is healing... ice is bad for like muscle gaining and like cold plunges are kind of good, but it's not you.

Modern research suggests inflammation is part of the healing process and ice can delay it, though it's still debated for pain management.
