Deontay Foreman should become a Second Amendment activist to resolve his PR issues in Texas

This is a very on-brand thing in Texas, to have a gun. Everyone's got a gun in Texas. Just become a huge Second Amendment guy. Deontay Foreman should go into the Houston Chipotle with an AR-15 strapped over your shoulder. ... Then I'm sure you'll get all the NRA people just absolutely 100% having their back.

Foreman did not do this. He eventually had the charges dropped and played for the Texans.

Salmonella is like the chicken pox; once you get it once, you can never get it again

If you get salmonella, then you don't have to worry about getting it again so you can eat cookie dough and stuff. No, because if you get salmonella, then you don't have to worry about getting it again.

Salmonella is a bacterial infection, not a virus like chicken pox, and you do not develop lifelong immunity to it.

Lonzo Ball playing well in Summer League means the Showtime Lakers are back

The Lakers are back. Oh! The Lake Show is back. So Lonzo Ball's been playing pretty well in the Summer League, and so that can only mean one thing, and that's the Showtime Lakers are back.

The Lakers were not 'back' immediately; they missed the playoffs in 2017-18 and 2018-19, only returning to prominence after signing LeBron James.

The Aaron Judge slump is caused by participating in the Home Run Derby

The Aaron Judge, did he fuck up his swing, is fully back. He's like one for 14 right now. I think we called that before the home run derby even started, right?

Judge had a notable slump in August 2017 after the Derby, though he finished the season strong. The 'Home Run Derby Curse' is a common but debated theory.

You can't be one of the best players on a team if you only played three games

I think last year, yeah, I would not – I mean, you only played three games. You can't be one of the best players on the team if you only played three games.

This is a subjective evaluation of value versus availability.

I will never publicly put out statistical goals again

Never put numbers out anymore because then all people do is bring up those numbers and they don't actually watch. I did that one year... and for the rest of that next season and beyond, everybody's like, well, he didn't hit it. And everybody compares you to that.

This is a statement of personal policy which he has largely stuck to since.

Tennis is the only sport where crying is acceptable and mandatory

I think that if there's one sport where crying is acceptable, if not mandatory, it's tennis. In fact, if Federer had wept... You have to cry in tennis. Then he's the classiest gentleman of all time to play the game.

Crying is common in tennis but certainly not a mandatory rule or generally viewed as essential by non-satirists.

The Sun is not actually hot because space is cold

There's a big conspiracy theory out there that the sun is not actually hot. ... If the sun is hot, why is space cold? ... The sun is probably the biggest fraud of all time if it's cold. ... If you're on the surface of the sun, you'd be fine. You could have a picnic on the surface of the sun.

The sun's surface temperature is approximately 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and its core is millions of degrees. Space is cold because it is a vacuum with few particles to hold heat.
