The Ryan Lochte robbery incident in Rio is like the worst Jason Bourne movie of all time

Since it's swimming, we get to watch this play out like the worst Jason Bourne movie of all time.

The number one lie in sports is a coach claiming they aren't interviewing for other jobs

Number one [lie] is every time any coach anywhere says they're happy with their job and they're not interviewing. That's number one lie in all sports.

While hyperbolically stated as a 'fact', this is a common trope in sports media where coaches routinely deny interest in jobs they later take (e.g., Nick Saban, Lincoln Riley).

Bruce Arians will win a Super Bowl in Arizona and then return to Pittsburgh to win another with Ben Roethlisberger

I want him [Bruce Arians] to win a Super Bowl. I want him to win three. Actually, I want him to win one with Arizona and then go back to Pittsburgh and win one there with Big Ben.

Bruce Arians did not win a Super Bowl with Arizona (he retired from there in 2017) and never returned to coach the Steelers.

Les Miles eating grass makes him a true 'Football Guy'

My first one was Les Miles. Any guy who actually wants to eat the grass of a football field, that's a football guy.

Andy Reid's fupa belt is the worst look for anyone but a football coach

He puts that like right in the middle of his waist. And it's just an awful, awful look for anyone but a football coach.

UFC 202 will break the all-time pay-per-view record

I had already said and gone on record as thinking that this is going to break the pay-per-view record because it has the biggest name in the sport, Conor McGregor, in a rivalry now against Nate Diaz.

UFC 202 set the record for the highest selling pay-per-view at the time with 1.65 million buys, surpassing UFC 196.

When a company is sold to a large investment group, the quality of the product always goes down

Just a word of warning, like any time that you're employed by a company that gets sold, like if you're a company that's made its name for itself and then it gets sold to like a big time investment group, the quality of the product is going to go way, way down.

Conor McGregor will win the rematch against Nate Diaz on points

I think Conor is going to fight a more disciplined fight. I think he might have to win on points. But again, I got to be on that side.

McGregor defeated Nate Diaz via Majority Decision (on points) at UFC 202 on August 20, 2016.

Men should not wear shorts; we should bring back the rule that shorts are only for little boys

It turns out that in like the 19th century, shorts were only for little boys. And then when you became a man, you got your long trousers. I think they should bring that back. Your big boy pants.

The Jaguars have a better chance of making the playoffs than the Bears or Bills

[Big Cat]: Which of those three [Bears, Bills, Jaguars] do you think have the best chance of going to the playoffs? [Blake Bortles]: I would have to say us.

In 2016, the Jaguars finished 3-13, the Bears finished 3-13, and the Bills finished 7-9. None made the playoffs.

The Jaguars will have a better season in 2016 than they did in 2015

You guys [the Jaguars] are going to have a better year than last year. That's just my take.

The 2015 Jaguars went 5-11. The 2016 Jaguars went 3-13, which was a regression.

DeAndre Jordan values an Olympic Gold medal over an NBA ring because he'll never win a championship

I like it because Carmelo [Anthony] and DeAndre [Jordan] are both guys who are kind of talented. But they're probably never going to win a championship unless they change teams. So what better way for DeAndre to capitalize on the surge of patriotism... than to say, yeah, you know what? It's all about the medal.

Neither Carmelo Anthony nor DeAndre Jordan ever won an NBA championship during their careers.

Robert Griffin III getting his new girlfriend's name tattooed on his arm is a massive mistake

Robert started dating Greta and immediately got her name tattooed on his arm for the whole world to see. This is one of those Jimbo's that Robert doesn't even know... Bobby doesn't even know that he's Jimbo'd yet, but he's Jimbo'd.

RGIII and Grete Sadeiko stayed together, eventually married, and have children, suggesting the tattoo was not the disaster Big Cat predicted, though the act of getting it so early is still viewed as a risk.

A koala ride is a safer drunk transportation method than a piggyback ride

The koala ride's actually a lot safer than the piggyback. [Big Cat]: Yeah, and then boom, you're having sex.
