The Cowboys don't view Dak Prescott as a top-tier franchise quarterback

The fact that it's taken this long speaks to exactly how the Cowboys feel about Dak Prescott. They like him. They want him. But he's not [Mahomes]. He's not Russell Wilson.

This is subjective but mirrors the league's consensus at the time regarding Prescott's 'tier' before he eventually signed his mega-deal in 2021.

Andy Dalton is 80% of Dak Prescott

Is Andy Dalton 80% of Dak Prescott? ... Andy Dalton is the type of guy that with talent around him in the right situation which the cowboys have a ton of offensive talent... Why not? They'd have a good running game. You have CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper. Andy Dalton is a fine player for that situation.

Dalton started several games in 2020 after Dak's injury. While he was competent, the team's offensive efficiency dropped significantly compared to Prescott's record-setting pace early in that season.

Lamar Jackson is better at playing Taysom Hill's positions than Taysom Hill

I would go out on a limb and say that I think Lamar Jackson might be better at playing most of the same positions that Taysom Hill plays.

OpinionFootballMildSarcastic
Lamar Jackson is a two-time MVP and elite QB; Taysom Hill remained a high-level gadget player/occasional starter.

Dude Perfect is college life if you never drank or talked to girls

If you ever think like, what would it have been like if we didn't drink? Just watch this Dude Perfect. Like if we just never had a sip of alcohol and didn't talk to girls, what would my college life have been like? Dude Perfect documentary.

This is a humorous observation about the branding and history of the group.

Texas A&M's biggest rival is fun

I've always said Texas A&M's biggest rival is against fun. So it makes sense. Like, you know, you go to Texas A&M and you wear your class ring and you do trick shots.

Subjective opinion on school culture.

I'm surprised there has never been a Call of Duty branded movie

I'm surprised there's never been a Call of Duty movie, to be perfectly honest. ... I know [there are war movies], but there's not like a Call of Duty branded [one].

While there are many war movies, there is still (to this day) no officially branded 'Call of Duty' theatrical movie release.

I guarantee sports will be back in July

Sports are coming back in July. I guarantee it. ... Clip that. No, they are coming back. At some point in July.

MLB restarted on July 23, 2020, and the NBA bubble started on July 30, 2020. Big Cat was correct.

iRacing takes the same skill set as real life racing

The thing is, is in iRacing, it takes the same skill set to be good in iRacing as it does in real life, where other sports like a football player doesn't mean he's going to be a good Madden player. ... You're using the same controls.

Many professional drivers use simulators for practice, and 'sim-to-pro' pipelines exist in racing, unlike Madden or FIFA.

I guarantee a victory on Sunday at Charlotte

I'll do it, man. I got a new set of paint scheme. We're thanking small businesses out there. So yeah, I'm in. I'm in on the guarantee.

Denny Hamlin finished 29th in the 2020 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte on May 24, 2020. Brad Keselowski won the race.

The least realistic thing about Entourage is the four guys being together so often

Whenever anybody asked me about the realistic stuff of the show, the thing I always said was the least realistic thing is that four guys would be together this often.

This is a creative insight from the show's writer about the nature of adult friendship vs. television pacing.

I almost killed off Vinnie Chase in the series finale

I thought about killing Vince to end the show. ... Mark [Wahlberg] sat me down and goes, we're going to make a movie. We're going to make a Broadway show. We're going to make an animated show. You can't fucking kill Vince. So that ultimately was probably the right decision.

Vince Chase did not die in the finale, confirming the decision was made to keep him alive.

Tom Brady makes centers shove a towel down their pants to stop sweat

Literally the first conversation I ever had with Tom Brady after he signed with the Bucs was... straight to, hey, I need you to shove a towel down your ass so you don't get my hands sweaty. ... how much baby powder to put down my crack. ... hamburger style first and then, hot dog style and then, shove it down there.

This has been widely reported by other Brady centers (like David Andrews) as a standard requirement for playing with him.

Joe Flacco has a gentle hand placement compared to Ryan Fitzpatrick

Joe [Flacco] probably because he never actually really got really that far in there. He was almost like a low backhand placement. So I'd say he's probably the most gentle. ... every time [Fitzpatrick] would get under center, he'd give a little bit harder of a tap.

This is based on his personal physical experience and cannot be objectively verified by others.
