Joey Bosa needs to shave his goatee to win over public support during his contract holdout

Number one is, dude, you got to shave the goatee. No one's going to be lining up behind you to support you if you're wearing the goatee. Right now, Joey Bosa, he looks like the evil dimension version of Joey Bosa. You're not doing yourself any favors with the facial hair.

This is a subjective aesthetic and PR opinion that cannot be verified for efficacy.

Joey Bosa likely has a gambling problem because he is demanding his signing bonus money immediately

Just knee jerk here. Gambler to gambler. Sounds like Joey Bosa has a gambling problem. Like I need that money now, man. I need it right now. Like that's he thinks that he's being, you know, sly here. But as a gambler, I can see what he's doing. He's clearly got some big debts he needs to pay.

There is no evidence Joey Bosa had a gambling problem; the dispute was over standard rookie contract offsets and payment schedules.

Dropping a 'trash' signature sneaker is the new version of a celebrity sex tape for staying relevant

Dropping a trash signature sneaker is like the new sex tape. That's how you get people talking about you.

This is a social commentary on viral marketing trends.

Charlie Weis hacked life by getting paid $24 million specifically to not work

But if you really look at the facts, what Charlie's done with his career is what we should all strive for. And that's he's getting paid $24 million to not work. And in what world – he's basically hacked life, OK? ... He has figured out how to design an offense that's so bad that people will pay you not to implement it.

Charlie Weis did famously collect massive buyouts from Notre Dame (and Kansas), making the financial claim factually grounded.

Charlie Weis will never get another coaching job unless he gets rid of his aggressive pet parrot

My biggest takeaway from the article is that he's not going to get another job until he gets rid of the bird in his house. ... It's a sun conure that dive bombs anybody that walks into his house. ... I think he got the parrot to get himself fired quicker at Kansas.

Charlie Weis did not receive another major head coaching job after 2014, though likely due to on-field performance rather than the parrot.

The Ryan brothers are the 'original feminists' because Rob Ryan carries weight like a pregnant woman

Is Rob Ryan the original feminist? I mean, he's pregnant, basically. He has to walk around with that weight, right? He's got that belly. I think he's in a hat tip to all the women out there who have gone through childbirth and the beautiful child thing that is childbirth. Rob stands with you.

This is a satirical characterization, not a literal claim.

Pigs in a blanket are the best finger food and appetizer available

I also think that pigs in a blanket get a bad rap. I think people try to be really classy at their weddings these days and they don't do pigs in a blanket. We need to like rebrand pigs in a blanket to bring them back because they're the best finger food and appetizer out there.

Food preference is entirely subjective.

Crab cakes are better with 75% filler rather than lump meat

I like the filler. ... Exactly. I want 75% filler in my crab cakes. ... Have you ever tried to eat like a 95% crab meat crab cake? Oh, it's disgusting. It's like eating a can of tuna fish.

Subjective preference for breading/filler in seafood.

90% of Spanakopita is inedible because it's too dry

Spanakopita can be really, really dry. Like 90% of the time, it's almost inedible because it's super dry.

The Seahawks are easily the best team in the NFC for the 2016 season

Well, they're easily the best team in the NFC. Not a problem.

The Seahawks finished the 2016 season 10-5-1 and lost in the Divisional Round. The Atlanta Falcons won the NFC Championship.

Setting an alarm clock one hour early creates a positive start to the day

When the alarm goes off in the morning... my first thought of the day is positive because I go, yes, I get to sleep another hour. Positive thought. ... I'm positive in the morning. I am now in the midst of waking up in disarray. You're like, oh man, I gotta get up. And I'm like, wait a minute. No, I don't. Not for another hour.

This is a subjective psychological approach to morning routines.

Skip Bayless is better at insulting athletes than Stephen A. Smith

I'm just saying, like, if you needed somebody, if it came down to it, you needed one guy to hurl out one insult at an athlete, who are you going with? I'm going to Skip. ... I think he's better at it in general.

This is a subjective comparison of two media personalities.

Twitter is primarily composed of memes and ISIS recruitment

It's just memes and ISIS recruitment. That's what Twitter is. It's a real problem out there. Real problem out there.

Factually, Twitter had much more content than just these two categories, though ISIS recruitment was a major policy headline for Twitter in 2016.

Houseboats are the safest long-term investment due to rising sea levels

Polar ice caps. The whole world's going to be the ocean eventually. I'd say houseboats actually are probably the safest investment out there. ... I'm talking like three, 400 years here. You might want to be the guy with the houseboat.

This is a satirical 400-year real estate prediction based on climate apocalypse.
