The Bulls will give the Celtics a really good series in the playoffs

I think the Bulls are going to give the Celtics a really good series.

The Bulls won the first two games on the road before losing the series 4-2 after Rajon Rondo's injury. They certainly gave the Celtics a 'really good series' and nearly pulled a massive upset.

John Madden has been dead for years and the NFL uses fake quotes for PR

The theory of this show is that John Madden has been dead for years and that the NFL just uses fake John Madden quotes for PR.

John Madden was alive until December 2021.

Pissing rhabdo-colored urine makes you the best possible teammate

That dark shade of brown that's above clear piss. That's if you have rhabdo. That's when you're actually the best teammate. Sacrificing yourself. When your body is deteriorating, your muscle is deteriorating and you're pissing it out.

Hot TakeLifeFireSarcastic
Medically, rhabdomyolysis is a life-threatening condition, not a sign of being a good teammate.

I have become a whiz at the computer recently

I've become a wizard at the computer. I really have. I turn it on. I can shut it off. I did something because I'm up at five o'clock in the morning and I bet neither one of you would realize that I have Wi-Fi in this condo.

Operation of a power button and basic Wi-Fi usage does not qualify one as a 'wizard' by general standards.

The Cleveland Indians' Chief Wahoo logo will be on the hot seat this year

We, this show, called the shot that the Indians were going to have a good year and the Chief Wahoo logo was going to be on the hot seat and people were going to all get upset. Well, guess what? They had a good year. They lost in the World Series, but they had a good year. They're back. Chief Wahoo still on the hot seat.

The Indians removed Chief Wahoo from their uniforms starting in 2019 and changed their name to the Guardians in 2022.

Jay Mariotti and Woody Page have officially broken up

PFT... broke the heartbreaking news that Jay Mariotti and Woody Page have broken up... For the last couple of shows, it's just been Jay. Strictly Mariotti. No, there hasn't been an announcement... I needed Woody to counterbalance Jay.

The Mariotti/Page digital show 'Unfiltered' did indeed dissolve around this time.

Coachella is just Burning Man for millennial social media kids

Coachella... It's gotten overrun, like completely blown out by mainstream people. It's burning man for millennial social media kids... where all the teens wear stupid sunglasses and feathers in their hair.

This has become the consensus view of Coachella in the years following.

Indianapolis is a test ground for most chain restaurants

Indianapolis is actually a test ground for most chain restaurants. Literally everything is there, except for In-N-Out.

Indianapolis is a well-documented test market for fast food and chain restaurants due to its demographic representation of the US.

Buffalo Wild Wings' wings are finally getting good again

Their wings got bad there for a little while. They're coming back, though. The wings are good. They got bigger wings.

Food quality is subjective.
