ESPN wants Al Michaels and Peyton Manning together in a Super Bowl booth

ABC Disney they on ESPN... They're trying to get Al Michaels... maybe team up with Sheriff Peyton Manning a peg put them in the booth together and make me TV magic happen Okay, so essentially yeah ESPN is trying to get the perfect booth in their minds of Al Michaels and pei-pei together so they can get in the Super Bowl rotation.

Al Michaels stayed with NBC until 2022. He did not join ESPN for a Peyton Manning Super Bowl rotation; instead, Troy Aikman and Joe Buck eventually took those roles.

Mr. Portnoy is more valuable in a media trade than Dickie V

I would say. Mr. Portnoy is more valuable than Dickie V at this point... Mr. Portnoy still has like a decade left, at least.

Eli Manning had dinner with the Chicago Bears to discuss joining the team

Eli Manning was having dinner with the Bears last night. Allegedly Leroy heard that from a source close to the situation... I truly believe that Eli Manning was having dinner with some represented from the Bears last night.

Eli Manning never signed with the Bears and remained retired as a Giant. No verified reports ever confirmed this meeting occurred.

Every actor wants to be famous; those who say they don't are liars

I don't like I said, I you know, there are two kinds of actors: actors who want to be famous and liars.

This is a subjective observation from a long-time industry veteran.

Hollywood marriages don't fail more often than normal marriages; we just hear about them more

Nobody has ever convinced me that marriages have a shorter shelf life in Hollywood than they do anywhere else. Let's face it. Marriage just doesn't work for most people... I haven't seen the statistics that indicate that it's any worse for celebrities; it's just that we hear about [them].

Difficult to verify statistically due to varying definitions of 'Hollywood' vs 'average', but it's an insightful industry take.

The Houston Astros robbed the Yankees of a World Series title

I know that my Yankees got robbed. Then there's probably a lot of other teams that got robbed right? I mean, it's out there... Altuve got MVP when it should have been Judge. Yes extra Stripes. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of things that people have to you know, they've lost focus on.

The sign-stealing scandal was confirmed by MLB, but whether it 'robbed' them of the title is a matter of debate.

Aaron Judge hasn't earned his Yankee Pinstripes yet because he hasn't won a World Series

He hasn't played a game [with Pinstripes]... he should have won a championship... You have to win a World Series [to earn them].

This is a traditionalist opinion on team legacy and individual honors.

Coronavirus is an overrated, fraud of a disease

It's a bitch little disease... I agree. We called it out as being a fraud being overrated last week. I'm not I'm not changing that up... I'm not convinced about this Corona thing. I'll take coronavirus to the face right now.

Coronavirus was not a fraud and caused a global pandemic that killed millions and halted sports for months. This is perhaps one of the most famously incorrect takes in show history.

Bill Clinton using 'anxiety management' as an excuse for oral sex is an all-time spin zone

Bill Clinton said today... that he received oral sex in the white house because it was managing his anxiety... mental health is kind of buzzing right now. Like guys can talk about this. He saw Tyson cry and he's like, you know what? Yeah, I got sucked off because I was anxious.

This is a comedic commentary on political rhetoric.

LeBron James is exhibiting schizophrenic symptoms via his Instagram captions

His caption of him hitting that three-point shot... Me: I bet you won't. Me: Man who you talking to me. I'm talking to you... man you must not know me well... sounds like he's schizophrenic.

Satirical commentary on social media behavior.
