JJ Redick will sign with the Philadelphia 76ers

My first prediction, J.J. Reddick is going to sign with it... Philadelphia 76ers. [He] bought a condo in Brooklyn, and we're connecting dots. We're getting into the realtor information.

JJ Redick did sign with the 76ers shortly after this episode.

The Bulls will sign Andre Iguodala to a massive contract that will immediately backfire

I predict that Andre Iguodala is going to go to the Chicago Bulls for seven years and $300 billion because his knees are just about to blow up... He's going to play 20 games a season for the next four years, and everyone's going to be like, oh, why are the Bulls not able to sign big guys?

Iguodala re-signed with the Golden State Warriors in July 2017.

Thomas Jefferson forged signatures on the Declaration of Independence to look cool

I'm a big 7-4 truther because I don't think that all these guys actually signed the Declaration of Independence because only a few people could actually write back then. And all the handwriting looks very similar to me. I'm thinking that a lot of the signatures were actually forged by Thomas Jefferson just so that it would look like he had a bunch of people that supported his cause so he'd look cool.

Historical consensus and forensic analysis of the document contradict this theory.

The best way to enjoy a lake is to float in the middle with a life jacket and five beers

I like to just put on a life jacket and just sit in the middle of the lake and just drink beers, drink like five beers while I pee and just do nothing else. So you just sit there. It's great. You get all your friends just sitting there doing nothing.

This is a subjective lifestyle preference.

Nick Saban's resting heart rate is just 'angry'

Nick Saban, because Nick Saban, he's like a volcano that only erupts every now and then. But when it does, and Nick Saban, you get the added bonus where he yells at his coaches... His resting heart rate is angry.

Hyperbolic characterization of a coach's temperament.

Hot dog buns are significantly harder to eat since Wonder Bread went out of business

I did notice when Wonder Bread went out of business years ago, and then the buns changed a little bit. They seemed to get harder, but then eventually they found another company that were similar specs.

Chestnut is the primary source on bun texture for this event, and Wonder Bread's 2012 liquidation did cause major bakery supply shifts.

I could beat a grizzly bear in a hot dog eating competition

Michael Phelps is racing against a great white shark. Can Joey Chestnut beat a grizzly bear in a hot dog eating competition? [Joey Chestnut]: Yeah, I could do it... I think I have the capacity to do it. I think the bear would start to wonder what's going on.

While a grizzly can eat massive amounts, it is not trained for the speed of competitive eating. However, this has never been tested.

Being called 'football smart' is actually an insult meaning you are dumb in every other regard

People come up to me and they say, well, he's football smart. That means that he's, they have no common sense and they're pretty much dumb in every other regards. So yeah, that's not a tag you really want.

This is a professional observation of scouting vernacular.

Blake Griffin is funny for a basketball player, but he's not a better podcast guest than me

I'll tell Blake to his face, you're funny for a basketball player, but you're not a better guest than me... I'll tell Blake to his face, you're funny for a basketball player, but you're not a better guest than me.

Subjective comparison of guest quality.

The Jaguars will never have the #1 overall pick in franchise history because they aren't even good at being bad

They've never, ever been the worst team in the league by record... If they get only two wins, there's a good chance they'll have the number one overall pick, which will be the first time in Jaguars history that they have the number one overall pick.

This was correct until the 2021 NFL Draft, when the Jaguars finally had the #1 pick (Trevor Lawrence) after finishing 1-15 in 2020.
