Xander Schauffele had a better year than Scottie Scheffler

Xander is now—I like, you can't say that Xander hasn't had a better [year]. I know Scotty has all these wins on the tour. Two majors to one. That's it. Xander had the better year.

The 2024 season is concluded. Schauffele won 2 majors, while Scheffler won 1 major plus the Players and Olympic Gold. It is a classic 'quality vs. quantity' debate.

Joe Biden's political situation is identical to a backup quarterback entering a game

It is kind of like the backup quarterback situation. Kamala, are you really ready to see Trevor Siemian start? Let's go until he steps up and then throws three picks in the first half and you're like, 'fuck, I kind of miss Zach Wilson.'

This is a satirical metaphor and cannot be literally proven right or wrong.

Frozen yogurt is the Brock Purdy of ice creams

I would say frozen yogurt is the Brock Purdy of ice creams. You can win with it. Where ideally would you take it number one? Probably not. But you get all the great toppings on it and it becomes great.

Subjective comparison of dessert and athlete quality.

Patrick Mahomes is the 'animal' I would most like to be

I would like to be Patrick Mahomes. Humans are animals. Scientifically, they are, they literally are animals. If you could pick any animal to be, Patrick Mahomes would be a pretty fucking sick animal to be.

Biologically humans are animals, but in the context of an 'animals' draft, this is a rule-bending stunt.

Caleb Williams will be a good NFL quarterback

Yeah, I do [think Caleb's a good quarterback]. I like Swift. I like Keenan, DJ. I like the receiver from Washington [Rome Odunze]. I think the team is almost good enough to beat the Packers.

Caleb Williams' career is in its infancy; his long-term success remains to be seen.

The Egyptian pyramids are much older than conventional history suggests

I'm wearing the Graham Hancock camp as far as like that the age of those structures is much older than they tell us. I'd like—I mean he talks a lot about the Younger Dryas and going back 10,800 years I believe it is. And to me that seems more in line.

This is a fringe scientific theory. Traditional Egyptology dates the Giza pyramids to roughly 4,500 years ago.

I will 'sweet talk' Leonard Floyd to avoid another injury on Monday Night Football

I'm gonna have to sweet talk him [Leonard Floyd] a little bit. Pay him off. Just let me get through play five.

Rodgers successfully made it past play five in the 2024 season opener against the 49ers.

Politics in the US is a sham where nothing ever changes

Politics I've said from the beginning is an absolute sham. Life doesn't actually get better for any of us, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat. And we're still just doing the same fucking two party system and not letting Bobby [Kennedy] get in or anybody else.

The impact of politics on life is subjective and varies by individual.

The US should have a 70 or 75-year-old age limit for political office

But just some common sense politics. Let's not let anybody over 75—the Packers have a rule, 70, you gotta retire. You go into a board of directors, it's 70, you gotta retire. That seems to make pretty good sense.

This is a policy opinion that has not been enacted.

The New York media is unethical and prioritizes control

The media in general is scared of people that they can't control. Because they built this brand that can't be controlled. I would say the majority of them too are so unethical. The practices now is just a fucking joke.

The ethics of journalism is a matter of intense debate.

I will play at least two more seasons with the Jets to win two Super Bowls

I'm not sure [how many more years]. This one for sure. I'd like to do two good ones and give us a chance to retire a Jet, you know, win two Super Bowls.

The Jets did not win the Super Bowl in the first of these two seasons (2024).

Joel Embiid believes the current LeBron James is not the same as the dominant version from years ago

The LeBron now is not the LeBron that was a couple of years ago. So it's a big difference. Everybody would also tell you, and you can see for yourself, the athletic LeBron dominant that he was a couple years ago is not the same that he is now.

LeBron's stats and impact at age 39 are arguably lower than his peak, but he remains an All-NBA caliber player. Embiid's claim is subjective but grounded in reality.
