Ezekiel Elliott should continue his holdout because Jerry Jones is being disrespectful

Zeke maybe man all this disrespect being thrown away by Jerry Jones. I don't have to take it to seek. It's kind of a bad look though to be like, I can't believe that he said zi KU... I don't have to take it to seek.

Elliott eventually signed a massive extension and ended his holdout before the season started.

Jon Gruden is the funniest coach in the NFL

Jon Gruden leads the league in being pumped... I fucking love them. I'm switching. We make fun of Jon Gruden. We make fun of the Raiders the whole hundred million dollar contract. I have switched. I want Jon Gruden to succeed because we need him in our lives for as long as possible.

Subjective opinion on entertainment value.

The Antonio Brown helmet saga is officially exhausting

I am officially as well. So sick of Antonio Browns helmet. Yes, sick of the helmet but in love with the jumpsuit... just either find a helmet don't play with a helmet. I don't care. We might Riot if he continues to do the helmet stuff.

Subjective fatigue with a sports storyline.

Peeing in a pool is safer and more logical than getting out to use the bathroom

Stop peeing in the pool? Don't pee in a pool. You're unsafe... You're more likely to injure yourself getting out of a pool and getting back in true than you are if you just stay in the pool and P true... if you walk through the house after being in a pool, you're creating an enormous slip and fall Hazard facts... p in that Soul tip.

Peeing in a pool creates chloramines which are irritants; the injury risk argument is logically flawed but humorously intended.

No one in history has ever regretted getting a dog

No one regrets a dog. No, no ever that's facts.

Subjective, though many people clearly do find pet ownership difficult or regrettable.

The United States should just invade Greenland if Denmark won't sell it

There are other ways to take over a country besides buying it like fuck it. Let's just ride. Well, what's Denmark going to do to stop us from invading green? Nothing. Absolutely. Nothing. Yeah. There's probably some treaty that would stop it. But that's a piece of paper. Denmark has bigger fish to fry.

The US did not invade Greenland.

Devin Booker complaining about double teams in open runs is a soft move

Devin Booker was mad because Joakim Noah sent a double team on them. And Devin Booker was like, hey, we don't double team and open run... it just showed maybe Devin Booker is the s word soft... what more could work on your game than having a double-team you get double-teamed in the NBA. Why wouldn't she want to be double-teamed right here?

Whether a move is 'soft' is subjective, but Booker has remained a high-level scorer despite the criticism.

Sebastian Telfair was going to be the greatest NBA player of all time

Sebastian Telfair Through the Wire. I watched that movie like this kid is going to be... I was like this He's skipping College like he's dominating Dwight Howard. He is going to be the greatest NBA player of all time.

Telfair had a journeyman career and never became an All-Star, let alone the greatest.

Joey Harrington was going to be an unbelievable NFL pro

I would have put my life my 20 no my 18 year old life on this guy being an unbelievable Pro Joey Harrington. I was convinced Joey Harrington was going to be so good... it was also like Oregon up-tempo. This is all new. Who is this guy? Joey Harrington, I was convinced I was going to be that dude.

Harrington is widely considered a draft bust for the Detroit Lions.

Freddy Adu was going to save American soccer

I'm going to have to go with the goat Freddy Adu and we still don't know. He still could be great true... he was the first one I went to his very first game. DC United. I was there he got in after like I don't know 70 minutes. I was like if he's really good. He's probably be starting. That was my first clue. Yeah, but maybe he wouldn't be great.

Adu failed to live up to the 'next Pele' hype and his career fizzled out.

Greg Oden was a better prospect than Kevin Durant

I was Big Time Greg Odin's better than Kevin Durant and I was like, how can you pass on a big man this good? I think I was probably biased because he played you know, I watched him play the Big Ten... I would have put everything on Greg Oden being that block.

Durant is a first-ballot Hall of Famer; Oden's career was derailed by knee injuries.

If Rex Grossman beat Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl, Manning would have never won a ring

I still think that Rex Grossman could be a great quarterback because that arm strength come on... you could say that if Rex Grossman had beaten paid Manning in that game. Peyton Manning would have never wandering correct correct facts.

Peyton Manning eventually won Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos regardless of this outcome.

Daisuke Matsuzaka's gyroball was the biggest lie in sports

Daisuke Matsuzaka... I was promised the gyro ball. I was promised the gyroball. Okay, and I never got the Gyro Bowl. I was told that he had like 500 different pitches that he could throw that he was going to come over and do things that no human arm had ever done before... then he came over and he threw like 93 on the black.

The 'gyroball' was largely found to be a myth or an unintentional slider, and Dice-K did not revolutionize pitching as hyped.
