Everyone in MLB is stealing signs, and the Red Sox cheating isn't a big deal

I mean, shit happens in MLB. Everyone's stealing signs. It's a constant back and forth of teams stealing each other's signs.

While sign stealing is a part of baseball, using electronics (Apple Watches) was a specific violation of MLB rules at the time.

The Red Sox Apple Watch scandal is good for baseball because it fuels the Yankees rivalry

Baseball needs rivalries. Red Sox-Yankees has been simmering. This kind of brings it up a notch.

The 2017/2018 Red Sox-Yankees seasons were indeed highly competitive and heated, though largely due to the teams being good rather than just this specific scandal.

Les Miles is coming for Magic Johnson's title as the most obvious tweeter on the internet

Magic, you're on the hot seat. If Les [Miles] starts figuring out how to predict MVPs and stuff, Magic might be out of a job.

Magic Johnson's Twitter remained a meme for years, while Les Miles' social media presence faded as he returned to coaching at Kansas and then left under controversy.

The Vontaze Burfict preseason hit was clean football, not a suspension-worthy hit

It wasn't really head-to-head. ... You come across the middle, that's my zone. You don't come across the middle and you get your head taken off. That's like when football was football.

The NFL upheld the suspension, following a trend of penalizing hits on defenseless players, regardless of AJ Hawk's 'old school' view.

I would come out of retirement to play for the Patriots for $10 million

There's not much I wouldn't do for 10 million dollars.

The Patriots never called or offered him that amount, and he remained retired.

The Super Bowl will feature the Patriots against either the Falcons or the Packers

I'm going Patriots on the AFC. They will play—they're going to play either the Falcons or the Packers.

The Patriots did make the Super Bowl (LII), but they played the Philadelphia Eagles, not the Falcons or Packers.

Willson Contreras sliding into Mia Khalifa's DMs was just a man looking for a friend

He doesn't even need PR 101 because if you read the DMs, he's just looking for a friend. ... He said, 'I just want me friend.' ... So guess what? Willson Contreras, you're fine in my book.

Roger Federer will beat Rafael Nadal at the US Open

I'm going to go Federer.

Federer lost in the quarterfinals to Juan Martín del Potro, so the matchup with Nadal never happened. Nadal went on to win the tournament.

The band Toto is responsible for more deaths than Hitler because of their songs about rain

It's those assholes from that band Toto when they blessed the rains over there. They just turned all the rains in Africa into hurricanes. Toto the band is responsible for killing more people than Hitler.

The claim is scientifically and historically impossible.
