Any twins who share a Twitter account have definitely kissed each other on the lips

Now, you know my theory that all twins at some point have kissed each other on the lips, like not in a brother-brother, sister-sister way. If you share a Twitter account, I think it's basically decided that that has happened, correct?

This is an absurd, unprovable, and humorous claim.

Synergy is the best filler word for office life and will lead to promotions

When you're in the office, use synergy as a filler word. You'll probably get promoted four times before Christmas.

The effectiveness of using buzzwords for promotion is subjective and largely a joke.

Blogging is more harmful to the brain than playing professional football or hockey

I think blogging is more harmful to your brain than playing football or hockey or any more women's soccer... your brain becomes soft [as a blogger] because you have no contact with anything.

Scientifically incorrect, as contact sports lead to physical brain trauma, but presented as a satirical 'theory'.

Losing a Stanley Cup Final is even worse than blowing a 3-0 series lead

At that point [blowing a 3-0 lead against the Kings] I said it's way worse to blow the lead but... you go all that way, and you think you're going to win it, and then it just comes crashing down... it definitely fucking sucks.

This is a subjective emotional assessment from an athlete's perspective.

Bay Area sports fans are spoiled

I think people out, the sports fans out in the Bay Area are spoiled. They obviously have the Warriors. They have the Giants who seem to win every other year. We've been pretty competitive for a while.

Subjective opinion on fan bases, though the success of the teams mentioned is factually accurate.

The Golden State Warriors might have chemistry issues because they have 'too many chiefs'

I don't know if they have enough shots. Everyone's going to want to shoot the ball. I don't know how it's going to work... Too many chiefs, not enough Indians. That's how I think it's going to go, but we'll see.

Incorrect. The Warriors with Durant were immediately dominant, winning the 2017 and 2018 championships with historically efficient offense.

NHL players likely won't participate in the next Winter Olympics

You know what? I don't think NHL players are going to the next Olympics... I think most hockey players would [go], but it's like, is it worth it?

Correct. The NHL did not participate in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

The NFL should implement the 'Romney Rule' requiring one white cornerback per team

There should also be a rule that says every team should have one defensive back that's a white guy... cornerbacks specifically because there are a lot of Eric Weddle types running around out there... we white people need to look at ourselves and say, are we doing enough to make a change in society?

The rule does not exist and the take is intended to be satirical social commentary.

Never spend more than $50 on sunglasses if you are under 30

Little tip for everyone out there... If you're under 30 years old, never, ever, ever buy a pair of sunglasses that are more than $50. That's on you, okay? $50. I don't buy a pair unless it's under $15.

Subjective life advice, though widely considered sensible by many who frequently lose sunglasses.

LeBron James is still technically a free agent until he puts pen to paper

LeBron James is still a free agent sign. I had so many people coming up to me fact-checking me on that. I was like, nope, he hasn't signed. And then they'd be like, yeah, well, but he said he's going to sign. And I was just like, hmm.

LeBron eventually signed a 3-year, $100 million deal with the Cavs in August 2016. In July, he was technically still a free agent despite his public commitment.

Bruce Arians has a unique 'locker room' accent because he gets fired so often

Arians' accent, like he's never lived in a place long enough to develop a real accent because he gets fired all the time. So his accent is just locker room. It's just like a mix of like southern good old boy, like inner city, and then a little bit of Midwestern.

This is a subjective observation about Arians' speaking style.

Robert Griffin III being ranked as a top 5 Redskins QB is an insult since he only played with five

Santana Moss actually just came out with his own mini Mount Rushmore... of top five quarterbacks he played with... and RG3 came in the top five. He was five... and those were the only five he played with. But still, top five is top five.

A factual analysis of Santana Moss's specific list and the players he actually caught passes from.
