Augusta National pipes in bird noises for the Masters broadcast

I'm more convinced than ever that the birds are actually piped in crowd noise. Agreed. There's one bird in particular. They play its call over and over and over. It's a cardinal, I think. They're getting sloppy with it. I think it might be a whippoorwill. But whatever it is, it's very obvious.

While CBS was caught using recorded bird sounds in 1990 and 1991, Augusta National and modern broadcasters maintain the sounds are natural, though the theory persists among fans.

Bryson DeChambeau looks fat when he is playing poorly

When you're bigger and you're doing well, you're strong. And when you're doing poorly, you're fat. And he looks fat today. Not to body shame, but there's something about the plus four next to his name that the strength now becomes a little pudgy.

This is a purely subjective observation about visual perception based on athletic performance.

Brooks Koepka playing the Masters on one leg is the most heroic thing ever

Brooks is playing on basically one leg. It's probably the most heroic thing I've ever seen in any sport ever. And again, we're not making excuses. We're not biased. We're stating facts. This is like Willis Reed. This is Kirk Gibson.

While Koepka was indeed injured, calling a golfer's performance 'the most heroic thing ever' in sports is hyperbolic and satirical.

Sean Miller will take an assistant coaching job in the NBA next

Did you see that Sean Miller, apparently he's going to get an assistant coaching job in the NBA. So that seems like his immediate future. Which is hilarious that someone who was... under sanctions and alleged sanctions and all these things and bad dealings with agents and everything. And then someone owes him a favor in the NBA?

Sean Miller did not take an NBA assistant job. He sat out a year and was then hired as the head coach at Xavier in 2022.

Coach K's role with USA Basketball is a major gray area for recruiting

Coach K just, you know, getting to be friends with all of the NBA All-Stars and then, like, when he goes on recruiting visits being like, oh, you want me to FaceTime LeBron? Again, not cheating, but I would say that's a gray area, a major gray area.

While legally permissible under NCAA rules, many peers and analysts agreed it provided an unmatched recruiting advantage.

Betting against the Pittsburgh Pirates every single day is a winning formula

I'm just going to bet against the Pirates every single day. Yeah, they're bad. Every day, bet against the Pirates... I'm just going to bet literally every single game against the Pirates and hope for the best this year.

The Pirates finished the 2021 season 61-101. Betting against them every day would have been a highly successful strategy.

Tom Brady and the Patriots were using the 'Omaha' cadence before Peyton Manning

Originally, the Patriots, Tom Brady was using it back in probably 2005 and 2006. And his quarterback coach, John Huffnagle, came from the Patriots to the Giants... He had it in our playbook in 2004. So, Patriots are probably using that in 01, 02, at least... then Peyton kind of made it famous.

Cadence terms like 'Omaha' are common in West Coast and Erhardt-Perkins systems. Brady has acknowledged using it, confirming Eli's claim that it wasn't a Manning invention.

Being a dad is the coolest thing ever

Being a dad is, like, the coolest thing ever. I'm just going to say that. Not to be sappy. But I fucking, like, me and my son, like, we bro out hard all the time... vibes to the moon.

This is a personal sentiment and subjective experience.

I genuinely didn't know the T in 'mortgage' was silent

I genuinely thought that's it. I didn't know the T was silent... I missed that once. I've gotten criticism in my broadcasting career. I've gotten destroyed for this... It's my fault. I messed up.

The 'T' in mortgage is indeed silent. Jake was factually incorrect in his previous pronunciation but correct in his admission of the error.
