Lanyards are the key to getting into any event

When you have a lanyard, people think you mean something. Like that was really the big key because I flashed it. When you flash a lanyard, people are like, well, that guy knows what he's doing.

This is a well-documented social engineering trick where appearing official often bypasses scrutiny.

I am officially 5'10"

All I wanted from that interaction [with police] at the time was just to have my information put in an official police record That says that I'm 5'10". And they were never going to allow that. Because at that time, from that moment on, I am officially 5'10".

PFT's actual height is generally estimated to be around 5'7" or 5'8".

Dante Scarnecchia's retirement makes Tom Brady less likely to return to the Patriots

Dante Scarnecchia, the Patriots offensive line coach, legend of the game, retired today. [If we're doing percentages], I would say that Dante Czarnecki retiring takes that percentage [of Brady returning] down.

Tom Brady did eventually leave the Patriots in free agency in March 2020, just a few months after this take.

Michael Bloomberg's dog handshake is a major red flag

Michael Bloomberg... has been pictured twice now greeting dogs on the campaign trail by grabbing them around the top of their mouth and shaking them like it's a handshake... hand inside the mouth. And then going that's a handshake to the dog.

The footage exists and was widely mocked for its awkwardness.

Brad Davison has taken the mantle of most hated player in college basketball from Duke

Wisconsin basketball is officially more hated than Duke this year. Brad Davison up to his old tricks with a nut shot last night. I think Brad Davidson has taken the mantle of most hated college basketball player this year, which usually is reserved for the whitest guy on Duke.

Brad Davison was indeed widely disliked by opposing fans for his physical play and history of tripping/nut shots.

$20 million, one year, New York Jets quarterback. Gosh, that's a lot of money. We'd have to have a conversation. [Breaking news], Jay Cutler, considering playing next year for the Jets In the case of Sam Darnold getting mono again and them throwing a ridiculous amount of money.

Sam Darnold did not get mono again, and Cutler remained retired.

The altitude in Denver adds 5-8 yards to your throw

I thought you're getting five to eight yards on a throw there. And the ball just cuts... in Denver, the ball just keeps sailing. It just keeps going. [In Denver], probably high 70s [is the farthest I could throw].

Physics supports that thin air reduces drag, allowing projectiles to travel further.

Mike Martz had no conscience when it came to calling high-risk plays

I'll give it to Mike [Martz]. He had no conscience. He went into the game, and he was literally playing Madden. With human beings. It was just chess pieces... He always thought the next play was the one. He's dialing it up.

Martz was famously known for his 'Greatest Show on Turf' style which often led to high sack numbers for his quarterbacks.

Mitch Trubisky should stop reading everything and go underground

Don't read anything. Stop reading is your advice. Go underground here, bud. I think you watch some of his press conferences and stuff, and you could tell it [media criticism] really bothered him sometimes. The more he can get away from all that stuff, I think the better for him.

Trubisky famously requested the TVs at Halas Hall be turned off to avoid seeing media coverage of him.

The United States would win Olympic Gold in handball if they fielded a team of pro athletes

I do want to get a team together for the Olympics. I think it's handball... I guarantee we can put a team together that can win gold. Guaranteed. Just from pure, arm speed. I don't think guys in other countries [could compete].

The US has never medaled in Olympic Handball, and while the athletic potential is there, the claim is untested and likely underestimates technical skill requirements.

Kent Sterling's take on Cubs fans being 'sluggish' for getting hit by foul balls is trash

Chicago Cubs will protect fans too stupid or sluggish to avoid foul balls by extending nets... This guy sucks. This guy is trash... He basically saying he wrote this entire article to brag that parents are capable of protecting kids because he did it once.

Sterling's article was widely panned for its victim-blaming tone.

You aren't in your mid-30s until you're 36

I'm just going to make a motion that your mid-30s doesn't start until you're 36. You're in your early 30s when you're 35.

Age brackets are culturally subjective, but 35 is mathematically the midpoint of the 30-39 range.
