The Dodgers have already won the World Series after the trade deadline

The winners and losers of the trade deadline, the Dodgers have won it all. Just give them the trophy right now. You [get] Yu Darvish. Yeah. And then they also are going to get another trade when Clayton Kershaw comes back.

The Dodgers reached the World Series in 2017 but lost to the Houston Astros in 7 games.

Colin Kaepernick isn't being signed because his vegan diet makes him physically weak

I think that the reason [Kaepernick] is not being signed is because he's not taking care of his body. He's made up of plant proteins. Not animal proteins, and he's just not as... resilient. I've never seen a plant win a fight.

While diet is a niche talking point, the consensus reasons for his lack of signing were political and performance-related. He never played in the NFL again.

Butts are on the Hot Seat because boobs are back in style

My hot seat is butts. Big hot seat because New York Post... they just wrote a trend piece about how boobs are back. So going to put butts square on the hot seat. Guess what? You thought it was cool to have a big butt? Everyone that went out there and got butt implants, you might want to see if those go two ways and you can just move them up to your chest.

Fashion trends are cyclical and subjective; there is no objective metric to prove one body part is 'back' over another.

Honey Nut Cheerios are the greatest cereal of all time

I've got a great value pick at number two: Honey Nut Cheerios. I think they're the goat. I'm just gonna say that... you forget the bee puts his honey in there for you.

Cereal preference is entirely subjective.

Apple Jacks milk is the best leftover cereal milk on the list

Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Apple Jacks are both not only good cereals, but the milk in the cereal bowl after the cereal's gone is better than any other cereal on the list.

Leftover cereal milk preference is subjective.

Bryce Harper will eventually sign with the Philadelphia Phillies

If you were to ask me straight up, [Harper goes to] Philadelphia. Philadelphia... Because it's 212 feet to right field, 279 to center, and 175 feet to left. So he's thinking Hall of Fame... Where can I hit 700 home runs? Philadelphia.

Bryce Harper signed a 13-year, $330 million contract with the Phillies in March 2019.

Manny Machado will end up playing for the New York Yankees

I think Machado ends up with the Yankees, and I think Harper goes to Philadelphia.

Manny Machado signed with the San Diego Padres in 2019 after a brief stint with the Dodgers.

Being a great clubhouse guy means having no ego and not intimidating teammates

I'll tell you what makes a great locker room guy: immediately when you're hung like the light switch in the off position. Got it. So I think that immediately lowers a lot of stuff... When you care about guys and truly care about them, you want guys to do well.

The value of clubhouse chemistry is a subjective and debated topic in sports analytics.

The Yankees win the World Series if Sonny Gray remains an ace

The Yankees win the World Series if your boy Sonny Gray stays at number one.

The Yankees lost to the Astros in the 2017 ALCS. Sonny Gray struggled significantly during his tenure in New York.

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens definitely belong in the Hall of Fame

Barry Bonds? Yes. I think yes. Roger Clemens? Yes.

Both players have failed to be elected by the BBWAA, though their inclusion remains a major point of debate.

Space is cold, therefore the sun is actually cold

Why is space cold if the sun is hot? We think the sun is cold. Outer space is black, but it's cold. So shouldn't outer space be really, really hot? [The sun] is not [hot]. Have you ever looked the sun directly in the eyes? Never have. Right. So does it even exist?

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
Scientifically, the sun is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma. Space is cold because it is a vacuum with few particles to hold heat.

Odell Beckham Jr. is the best wide receiver in the NFL

I'm saying he's the best wide receiver in football. Odell Beckham, is it really the hair that makes him memorable or is it the fact that he's the best wide receiver in football?

This was a highly debated topic in 2017, with Antonio Brown and Julio Jones also in the conversation.

Michael Jordan would amputate his own leg just to win a game against LaVar Ball

Michael Jordan is also so competitive that if LaVar responds to him, he might get his leg amputated just to play one game of basketball and beat him.

This is a comedic exaggeration and not a literal prediction.
