Ugly wins are worth more than pretty close wins

An ugly win is actually worth more than a pretty close win. Because if you can win ugly, that's like a confidence boost. Like, okay, we didn't have our stuff.

Subjective sports philosophy.

Eli Manning is no longer a good quarterback

Eli Manning is not a good quarterback anymore... That means he was a good quarterback, two Super Bowl rings, Hall of Famer, all that stuff. He's not a good quarterback anymore, and I can't stand the offensive line talk because, yes, the offensive line is bad, but Eli Manning is the king of pressures coming, just turtle, and not look downfield.

Eli Manning's stats and eye test in 2018-2019 confirmed he was at the end of his career.

Archie Manning is the Kris Jenner of football

I think Archie Manning is the Kris Jenner of football... He really is. I agree with that. He has made it so that Peyton Manning... when he put his balls on someone's face? That one got erased. The Eli Manning fraud... when he was selling fake jewelry, that one got erased... Archie Manning, he is basically controlling the narrative of the Manning family and getting it to a point where I actually think the Giants ownership is afraid to bench Eli.

While largely satirical, the Manning family does wield significant influence in football circles. Eli was eventually benched for Daniel Jones later in 2019.

Lacrosse is the sport of the future and will surpass baseball

My cool throne is lacrosse... My other hot seat could have been baseball because lacrosse is coming for that America's Pastime, sport of the future. Premier Lacrosse League was announced. TV deal... This sounds like a real dud. No, this is going to be great.

The PLL has survived and grown, but lacrosse has not surpassed baseball as 'America's Pastime.'

Ben Roethlisberger has used a computer less than ten times in his life

I'll say it right now. Since the day he left college, Ben Roethlisberger has sat in front of a computer less than ten times.

Fact ClaimLifeHotSarcastic
This is almost certainly literally incorrect, as modern NFL players use tablets and computers for film study, but it captures Ben's 'old school' persona.

Jerry Jones traded for Amari Cooper because he was drinking Johnny Walker Blue

I do not understand how the Dallas Cowboys gave up a first-round pick for Amari Cooper... Jerry Jones... the reason is Johnny Walker Blue.

While the logic is a joke, Amari Cooper actually performed very well for Dallas initially, making the first-round price tag more palatable than Big Cat predicted.

Marshawn Lynch is faking his injury because he doesn't want to play for Jon Gruden

Marshawn Lynch is out... He's out with an injured groin is the explanation they gave. I don't think that Marshawn Lynch is capable of having his groin injured... I think he doesn't like Jon Gruden. He doesn't want to play for Jon Gruden to do a car.

Lynch did have surgery for a core muscle injury and did not play again in 2018. He eventually left the Raiders after the season.

Jack Coan will be the next great quarterback for Wisconsin

You have a quarterback on the University of Wisconsin roster that eventually is going to take over... His name is Jack Coan. He's a five-star... He's already there... He dominated football in Long Island... He elected to go to Wisconsin because... they brought all these other big offensive linemen in... and the coach said, look at these guys. They're your offensive line when you become 19 or 20 years old.

Jack Coan did become a successful starter for Wisconsin (and later Notre Dame), leading Wisconsin to the Rose Bowl, though he wasn't quite a '5-star' talent or NFL superstar.

Cystic Fibrosis will be eradicated in 5 to 10 years

I think CF will be eradicated from this earth in about five to 10 years.

While massive breakthroughs like Trikafta have occurred, CF has not been eradicated as of 2024.

LeBron James moved to the Lakers to hide from his critics

Is LeBron James hiding from us? Because here's what happened. At like 12:30, I went to sleep. I missed all of the fourth quarter, missed the free throws... I think that LeBron James has moved out west because he knows... MJ people, we're getting a little older, got to get to sleep. The LeBron stans... they stay up all night... and LeBron knows he will not get criticized... Like, I should have been there hating LeBron when he missed those free throws. Except, father time has taken its hold on me, and I need to go to sleep.
