Russell Wilson included the Bears on his trade list just to drive up his trade value for other teams

I think that he threw the Bears in there as kind of throwing a bone for the Seahawks because he knows that if the Bears are in the discussion, his trade value goes up. And so that means that other teams would be able to give a little bit more money.

While speculative, Wilson did stay in Seattle for another year before being traded elsewhere for a massive haul.

I will become the most religious, corny person in the world if Russell Wilson becomes a Bear

If Russell Wilson somehow, someway becomes a bear, I will buy into... I might just become the most religious person in the world. Just become unlimited. Yeah, just praise Jesus every single day. I will tweet about the corniest sayings, everything. I'll be a Mr. Unlimited.

Russell Wilson was eventually traded to the Broncos, not the Bears. Big Cat remained his usual self.

Deshaun Watson should retire because the Texans are a franchise that can drive a player to that

I would love to see a player just be like, I truly hate them so much. I will retire. If any franchise is able to do that to a person, it would be the Houston Texans.

Watson did not retire; he sat out the 2021 season and was eventually traded to the Browns in 2022.

Roy Williams is a better coach than Coach K

And all you haters out there that told me I was an idiot when I said Roy Williams is a better coach than Coach K, he doesn't get the shine, this is just another market in my favor on this.

Highly subjective. Coach K has more wins and titles, but Roy Williams has a better tournament winning percentage and is beloved by PFT.

Duke will make the 2021 NCAA tournament

So Duke, they're going to make the tournament. I just know they will. Of course.

Duke finished 13-11 and missed the tournament entirely after a COVID outbreak during the ACC tournament.

Disc Golf is a massive growth market that we can get in on the ground floor of

There is a new sport that's blowing up. And I think we can get it on the ground floor and make a lot of money. This dude, Paul McBeth. Today, signed a 10-year, $10 million contract extension to play disc golf. His signature line sold so many. There's such a huge market there.

Disc golf did see significant growth during and after the pandemic, and Paul McBeth's deal was a real milestone for the sport.

Rebranding Mr. Potato Head to 'Potato Head' is neutering the toy

They changed him today. They massacred my boy. Hasbro is... they neutered him. Yeah, they're giving him a spud, a gender-neutral new name. Just Potato Head.

OpinionPop CultureMediumSarcastic
Hasbro did indeed announce the brand name would change to 'Potato Head,' though they clarified individual 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' toys would still exist.

Chapstick is one of the biggest scams in America

I present to you one of the biggest scams in America. Chapstick. I keep losing mine. It is impossible to finish a stick. You have to buy a new one every week. Do you know anyone who's ever finished a chapstick?

The difficulty of finishing a Chapstick before losing it is a near-universal human experience, though not a literal fraudulent scam.
