The NBA is paying the refs

The NBA is paying the refs. The NBA actually always pays the refs. That's how they get paid. They're paying the refs.

The NBA does, in fact, pay its referees a salary.

Kyrie Irving wouldn't have gotten off the bench for John Wooden in the 1960s

If [Kyrie Irving] played back in the 60s, he wouldn't have got off the bench on John Wooden's team. Dribbles between the legs too much. A little bit of a ball hog. A little bit of a flashy showboat. But I guess if you score points in today's day and age, that's all you need.

This is a subjective historical counterfactual used for comedic effect.

Dante Jones is the real coach of the Cavaliers

Tyronn Lue is obviously not really the coach of the team. He stands there in a suit. He's like a senator. The coach, Dante Jones, my former teammate. He has his three-point celebrations down so perfectly... He's the first one off the bench to high five. He's the coach.

Tyronn Lue was the official head coach and led them to the Finals that year.

Mike Zimmer should replace his eye with a glass eye featuring the Vikings logo

At some point, wouldn't a football guy just say, take the fucking eye out, put in a glass eye, and have it be the logo of whatever team I'm coaching?

OpinionFootballHotSarcastic
Mike Zimmer never replaced his eye with a logoed glass eye; he eventually stabilized his vision through surgeries.

Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg are not speaking off-air

Fair Play, Mike and Mike, if you haven't heard, Mike and Mike are not speaking... They are in an icy, icy relationship. They are not speaking at all off air.

It was later confirmed by both Mikes that the end of their show was extremely tense and they were barely speaking during the transition.

Rooftops are overrated for drinking

I think that rooftops are actually overrated. I'm a beer garden guy. I'm a beer garden guy and I'm a river guy.

This is entirely a matter of personal preference.

Ohio State's program lacks class compared to Michigan

My hot seat is Ohio State. I'm sorry. The Ohio State University. We went to Michigan today. We met with Jim Harbaugh. It was great... All class exuding from the campus on Ann Arbor, unlike those guys down in Columbus. I'm just saying. They could – You still can rectify it. We're going to Columbus today. I don't want to be too mean to the guys in Columbus, but I'm just saying you guys are behind right now.

This is a subjective rivalry-based take.

Leonard Fournette’s parents are geniuses for naming both sons Leonard

If you're a parent out there, a new parent, and you're thinking about having a couple kids and you think one is going to probably be better than the other, name the shittier kid just Leonard so that all of his mistakes – Or anytime your good kid, the one that's your breadwinner, fucks up, you can just blame the shittier kid.

This is a humorous strategy, not a verifiable claim.

Toughness can be built like a callus and the human body craves contact

Think of it [toughness] like building a callus, you know, just like the human body. What a tremendous organism. I mean, it actually craves contact. I mean, it likes contact, craves it, as opposed to a car... So, yeah, much like conditioning can be improved, I mean, so can that callus of toughness and grit also be acquired or improved.

The psychological and physical development of 'toughness' is a subjective coaching philosophy.

I still play football in my dreams

I play in dreams... I don't ever have any coaching dreams, but I have football dreams still, and I play. I play... Sometimes I'll be D1, but more and more, for some reason, I'm in the D3 now. I've got another year of eligibility.

This is a personal anecdotal claim about his own dreams.

Vegans don't know what they're talking about and organic food is a sham

Here's what I learned. That this – Vegans don't know what they're talking about. And two, the people that are – Organic is – that's a sham too... Organic is not more healthy. It is not sustainable. We're going to 9 billion people on the planet. The resources that it takes to make something organic uses twice the month, twice as the resources that it does otherwise. I mean, that's not sustainable.

The sustainability and health benefits of organic vs. conventional farming are a massive, ongoing scientific and economic debate.

Roger Goodell is keeping a hit list of players who celebrate to have them killed

I think Goodell is secretly letting the players do this [celebrate], but you know he's keeping a hit list. So if he sees a player go to ground or use the ball as a prop, heaven forbid, he's writing your name down on a sheet of paper and he's going to pay to have you killed.

Roger Goodell is not literally hiring hitmen to kill NFL players for excessive celebration.
