Baker Mayfield's silence on the Richard Sherman handshake controversy speaks volumes

[Baker Mayfield] has not addressed the handshake controversy brought to light by Richard Sherman. I would say his silence speaks volumes.

Richard Sherman eventually admitted that the handshake actually happened and he had exaggerated the snub, making Baker's silence irrelevant to a fake controversy.

I am not a believer in the 2019 Baltimore Ravens

The AFC North stinks. I'm not a believer in the Baltimore Ravens.

The Ravens went 14-2 in 2019 and Lamar Jackson won the NFL MVP award unanimously, proving they were a top-tier team.

The 49ers are a 'good, good football team'

I think we need to actually give more credit to the 49ers. Yes, because the 49ers are a good, good football team. The difference between Kyle Shanahan's offense and Freddie Kitchens was like they were playing two totally different games.

The 49ers finished 13-3 and reached Super Bowl LIV.

I am 75% confident that Dan Snyder is trying to trade for Mike Tomlin

Leroy reported earlier today that Dan Snyder's plane was in Pittsburgh at the private airport with photo evidence. I'm 75% confident in that scoop... He's trying to trade for Mike Tomlin.

Mike Tomlin remained the head coach of the Steelers and was never traded to the Redskins.

Minnesota is low-key the saddest sports city in America

[The Twins] have lost, was it 15 straight postseason games? ... All of Minnesota, they're borderline the most cursed sports city of all time. I've said that. They are low-key the saddest sports city when people always go to Cleveland or Buffalo.

Subjective debate, but the Twins' postseason losing streak eventually reached 18 games before being snapped in 2023.

The Nationals are a better team without Bryce Harper

Listen, the Nats are a better team without Bryce Harper. That's a fact. It is a fact.

The Nationals won the 2019 World Series the very same month Harper left for the Phillies.

NBA players and coaches should admit they only care about China's money

I would prefer if they just said: our money is paid in large part by China and all these people buying league pass. And it's a big fucking country. And we're trying to sell a shitload of Kobe jerseys. So therefore, we are going to remove ourselves from this discussion.

The NBA's financial ties to China were a major factor in their reaction to the Morey tweet, as confirmed by later reporting.

I don't trust anyone who marries someone they went to college with

First of all, right off the bat, I don't really trust anybody that gets married to somebody that they went to college with.

This is a subjective character judgment.

Ben Simmons will hit a three-pointer in his first preseason game tonight

He has his first preseason game tonight, so we'll see if he hits one. Do you guys think he'll hit one in his first game tonight? A three-pointer? ... I think yes.

Ben Simmons actually hit a three-pointer against the Guangzhou Loong Lions on the night of October 8/9, 2019.

Zion Williamson won't be an explosive dunker anymore because he measured at 6'6"

Zion's on the hot seat because I don't think he's going to be able to be an explosive dunker anymore now that he measured in at 6'6".

Zion Williamson remained one of the most explosive dunkers in NBA history despite being 6'6".

The best actors are actually not acting at all

Acting is the absence of acting. It's believing in the truth of the moment you're creating at that time with your heart without thinking.

This is Busey's subjective philosophy on acting.

Hell is a self-imposed condition created by yourself

Hell is what you make it within yourself... So hell is a self-imposed condition... Hell is really something you create yourself.

The Jaguars should trade Nick Foles for a 6th round pick and go all in on Gardner Minshew

Trade Nick Foles? Absolutely. Dude, I would trade him for a six-round conditional pick. ... [Gardner Minshew] is amazing. Why would I not be [all in]?

The Jaguars did eventually trade Foles to the Bears in March 2020 for a 4th round pick, confirming Chaps' desire to move on, though Minshew eventually lost the starting job in 2021.
