I am giving up masturbation to get an edge for my upcoming fight

I've decided to give up masturbation. So for those who don't know, Hank is actually fighting. It's a real fight, Rough N Rowdy. December 15th. I need every edge I can get.

Hank lost the fight to Tex at Rough N Rowdy 1 on December 15, 2017, suggesting the edge did not work.

The Celtics are saving the NBA

NBA viewership's up like 32%. Celtics are the best team in basketball, so basically the Celtics are saving the NBA.

NBA ratings were up across the board in 2017 due to several factors including the Warriors' dominance and LeBron James, not solely the Celtics.

Stephen A. Smith has a point about his 'Screaming A. Smith' nickname being unfair

Stephen A. Smith says there's racial undertones to anyone who calls him Screamin' A. Smith. So he says there's a lot of people out there who scream. Why don't they get the Screamin' A. Smith nickname? ... I've done some thinking about this out loud, some verbal thoughts, and you're right. I will stop saying screaming.

This is a subjective opinion on media labeling and racial dynamics.

Alabama only made the College Football Playoff because of their name, not because they are better than Ohio State

I don't think Alabama is unequivocally better than Ohio State. I just haven't seen that from Alabama this year. I think they're great, but I think they're in because of who they are. And I think winning a conference championship at some point should matter.

While subjective, Alabama went on to win the National Championship that season, validating their selection in the eyes of the committee.

Oklahoma is the best team in college football right now

But I think Oklahoma is the best team right now. Baker Mayfield, they're a great man.

Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield will be drafted higher than people think

I think Lamar [Jackson] is going to get drafted higher than people think. I think Baker Mayfield is going to get drafted higher than people think.

Baker Mayfield went #1 overall and Lamar Jackson was a first-round pick (#32). Both went higher than many mid-season mock drafts suggested.

Donald Trump is going to put LaVar Ball on the million dollar bill

Donald Trump is going to put LaVar Ball on money. He's going to be on the million dollar bill. ... Weren't they going to change the $20 bill recently? Harriet Tubman, yeah. Well, not anymore because I think LaVar Ball's got his eye on it.

This did not happen.

Arizona State football is going to 'fucking suck' under Herm Edwards

Herm Edwards sucked when he was still a coach, and he hasn't coached for 10 years. And now he's going to go back to a college campus and coach. Arizona State football is going to fucking suck.

Herm Edwards' tenure was mediocre (26-20) and ended in a firing/scandal, but they didn't 'fucking suck' immediately, reaching three bowl games in five years.
