The Giants are tanking a year too late

They're tanking a year too late from what they... Like, last year they should have, like you said, not given... they trotted out Eli Manning's corpse. You then didn't lose enough to be the number one pick this year and get Kyler Murray, so then you had to trade Odell Beckham to then get the picks so that you could then trade up for the number one pick that you could have had if you had just done what everyone said, just lose.

The Giants finished 4-12 in 2019 and did indeed enter a multi-year rebuild that saw Eli Manning benched for Daniel Jones.

The Cleveland Browns will win the AFC North

The Browns are the best team in the AFC North. Yeah, they are the best team in the AFC North. The Ravens watched part of their defense walk out. The Steelers watched their running back and wide receiver walk out. And the Bengals are the Bengals. The Browns are going to win the AFC North.

The Browns finished 3rd in the AFC North in 2019 with a 6-10 record. The Ravens won the division.

Le'Veon Bell will sign with the Chicago Bears

He signed with the Jets at midnight to promote his new album. And then went back on it and signed with the Ravens, and then maybe also the Bears. I was going to say, we should each say one team. I'm taking Jets. You take the Bears? Yeah, I'll take the Bears.

Le'Veon Bell signed a 4-year contract with the New York Jets on March 13, 2019.

The Jacksonville Jaguars made the biggest mistake in franchise history by signing Nick Foles

The Jacksonville Jaguars made the biggest mistake in franchise history. I have put a curse on them... basically we're just cursing Nick Foles because Nick Foles, you should not have done that... You can't fill the shoes of Blake Bortles in Jacksonville.

Foles was injured in his first game and was eventually benched for Gardner Minshew before being traded after just one season. The contract is widely considered one of the worst in Jaguars history.

Rich people are the last people who need college degrees

I think the worst part about this, and it reinforces something that I think a lot of people already know, is that if you're rich, you are the last person who needs a college degree. It's somebody who's very poor that would find value in having the degree.

This is a social opinion that cannot be factually proven or disproven.

This is the end of the Golden State Warriors dynasty

The Warriors are on the hot seat because the Warriors are breaking up... Steve Kerr is sick of Draymond's shit. Now, I don't know if that was actually what he was talking about, but it's clear the Warriors have... I feel like this is it. This is it. This is the end. Don't you?

The Warriors lost the 2019 Finals and Kevin Durant left, ending that specific era, but the 'dynasty' arguably continued as they won the championship in 2022.

Urban Meyer will do media for a year then return to coaching at USC or Notre Dame

Urban Meyer's health... seems like he's healthy... This is perfect, though, because it's just the Urban Meyer playbook. He's going to do media for a year and then be like, I hate this so much because it means that he has to talk and smile, two things he's not capable of doing, and then he's going to go back and coach... boom, USC next head coach or Notre Dame.

Meyer did return to coaching after a stint at Fox, but he went to the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars in 2021, not USC or Notre Dame.

No joke is truly offensive because the intent of a joke makes it benign

There's a big kind of intellectual theory around this about benign violation and the idea that no joke is offensive because it's a joke. Because as soon as you put it in that space where you go, okay, it's cancer... But as soon as you make a joke about it, you put it into a space where you go, it's benign. It's actually, it's okay, and it's got no power over us.

This is a subjective philosophical stance on humor theory.

Individualism is a relatively new and terrifying concept for human beings

We've never been more connected... And the reason podcasts, I think, are so huge is because people are desperate for conversation... We're built to live in tribes... The idea of individualism is comparatively new and terrifying. It just doesn't work for human beings. We feel incredibly alienated.

Subjective sociological observation.

NFL RedZone has 'ruined' the traditional way of watching football

No, Red Zone actually made it better. It's unbelievable, but it's ruined football. No, I agree with you. Have you ever tried to watch a football game having seen Red Zone? Yeah, it's tough. You should go, wow, this is boring... your brain has just become this like... Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. Every single play has got to be a big play.

This is a common subjective sentiment among NFL fans regarding the 'RedZone effect' on attention spans.

Stephen A. Smith is horny all the time

Stephen A. Smith addressing his horniness... He's now clarified he's only horny some of the hours. He said a couple hours a day... He responded to someone saying, 'Sexy photo too. Evidently, you're trying to get yourself in trouble,' winky face. He's fucking horny. Dude is horny.

Fact ClaimPop CultureHotSarcastic
While Stephen A. Smith literally admitted to being horny 'a few hours a day,' the general 'all the time' claim is a comedic exaggeration.
