Jonathan Quinn is the worst quarterback to ever play more than one game in the NFL

Jonathan Quinn might be the worst quarterback to ever play more than one game in the NFL.

Subjective ranking of 'worst' players, though Quinn is statistically among the least productive QBs in modern history.

Antwaan Randle El was a better quarterback than Ben Roethlisberger during the Steelers' first Super Bowl run

Ben Roethlisberger, people forget Ben Roethlisberger, his first couple years, he was really bad. That Super Bowl he won, the first one. Honestly, Antwaan Randle El was a better quarterback.

Roethlisberger had a historically low passer rating in Super Bowl XL (22.6), while Randle El threw a touchdown pass on a trick play. Big Cat's take is supported by that specific game's performance.

You cannot lead a clubhouse while wearing adult braces

[Joe Girardi's] problem was he could never recover from having braces. Adult braces. You can't be a leader of men with adult braces... if you can't straighten your teeth out, you can't straighten out a clubhouse.

This is a humorous subjective opinion on leadership aesthetics.

Alex Rodriguez would be a great MLB manager

I'm not going to say that they should take a look at my boss, Alex Rodriguez, but if they were smart, A-Rod would be a hell of a boss, a hell of a manager. He knows how to keep the guys loose.

A-Rod has not yet managed an MLB team, so his quality as a manager remains speculative.

The Chargers' game against New England is a trap game for the Patriots

I'm going with the Chargers... on the road against New England. This is a trap game for New England. I don't really know what trap game means, but when you say it's a trap game, you sound smart.

The Patriots beat the Chargers 21-13 on October 29, 2017. New England covered the spread, so the trap did not spring.

High school football coaching in America fails to prepare quarterbacks for the college spread offense

what we're seeing at the college level is all these high school kids are running like fancy, like pro-style offenses where they just hand the ball off and they play under center too much and they're not preparing kids enough for the college game to play in the spread offense.

This is a frequent point of debate among football scouts and analysts, making it subjective but grounded in sports theory.

Koalas mostly have chlamydia and can transmit it through their urine

You know that koalas have chlamydia? Most of them have chlamydia, and if they pee on you, they'll give you chlamydia.

While Chlamydia is a major epidemic in koala populations, it is generally not transmissible to humans through urine in the way Billy describes (though handling them can pose risks).

Viruses might actually be aliens from a meteorite

Viruses might be aliens. They might have crashed on a meteorite. No, you know why? Because viruses don't have all the facts of life. Like, life needs to reproduce. Viruses replicate. They replicate, but not like other cells. So, it would make sense that they evolved on a different planet.

This is a fringe scientific hypothesis (panspermia) but is not the consensus view of evolutionary biology.

Colin Kaepernick and Arian Foster struggle because they are vegans

Kaepernick is a vegan, how can you, like, look at all the vegans, look at Arian Foster. He's out of the NFL now because he's a vegan. [Arian Foster's hamstring fell off] because he's a vegan.

While Arian Foster was famously vegan during his later career, his retirement was primarily due to chronic soft-tissue injuries (specifically his Achilles and hamstrings). Kaepernick's career path was influenced by far more factors than his diet.

It is safer to be shot without a shirt on to avoid getting clothing fibers in the wound

I think it [a bullet] would pass through you cleaner. Because if you're wearing a shirt, you get the shirt fibers inside your body.

Fact ClaimLifeHotSarcastic
While fibers in a wound can cause infection, being 'safer' when shot naked is a ludicrous exaggeration of medical reality.

The Illuminati and reptilians use money to hypnotize and control the American mind

The Illuminati slash reptilians run the Federal Reserve... they hypnotize everybody in America using money. So if you have money in your pocket, it's actually a tool of hypnosis. And they control that money and they make it hypnotize you.

Purely satirical conspiracy content.

Drinking alcohol makes you smarter by killing your weakest brain cells first

when you drink enough, it actually kills brain cells. That's a fact... If you kill brain cells, it's targeting the smaller, weaker brain cells first. Like a buffalo herd, and if you get rid of the weak ones, then it makes your brain function more efficiently.

Fact ClaimLifeFireSarcastic
Alcohol does not selectively kill 'weak' brain cells to improve overall function; it is a neurotoxin.

Asparagus is poison and green vegetables are generally bad for you

Asparagus is poison. Green vegetables are poison... It's the worst vegetable. Like asparagus is disgusting. And then you eat it and your body's like, yo, dude, just a reminder what you just ate. That was really disgusting. Here's some disgusting piss.

Asparagus is widely considered a healthy vegetable by nutritional science; the smell of urine is due to the breakdown of asparagusic acid.

Neil Armstrong spelled backwards is 'Alien'

Neil Armstrong. First person walking the moon, right?... Neil A. Spelled backwards. Alien.

While 'Neil A.' backwards is indeed 'A lien', it is a linguistic coincidence, not proof of extra-terrestrial origin.
