People under five foot nine should not be allowed to lead countries

If you're five foot nine or less, you should not be in charge of a country. I will fully admit my people [short people] have a deficiency and that's like, we like to try to take over the world to prove everyone... we should not be allowed within 50 miles of a nuclear missile.

This is a satirical opinion based on the height of various world leaders.

I'm not a buyer in Auburn; they have fatal flaws at the end of games

I'm not a buyer in Auburn. I think Auburn's got some fatal flaws. I don't trust them at the end of the day, if you're going to your fourth option in an end of the game scenario like that, that means that you don't have any true scoring threats that can like you can't run an ISO.

Auburn, a 2-seed, was upset by 10-seed Miami in the second round, validating Big Cat's skepticism about their 'fatal flaws' in the tournament.

Tom Izzo is an overrated coach

I'm finally being vindicated on my take I've been squatting on for six years... about Tom Izzo. If you're saying he's an all-time great, he's definitely overrated. If you want to be considered one of the best coaches, you have to win a second championship.

This is inherently subjective, but Izzo remains stuck at one championship (2000).

If Kentucky is healthy, they are winning the national championship

Gun to head, if Kentucky is healthy, they're winning it all. If they're healthy, I really think they can win it all.

Kentucky suffered one of the greatest upsets in tournament history, losing to Saint Peter's in the opening round.

I'd rather have 11 Mitchell Trubiskys playing every position than Carson Wentz at quarterback

I saw that the Washington Commanders were targeting Carson Wentz as their quarterback. I would rather literally have 11 Mitchell Trubiskys playing every position than Carson Wentz at quarterback.

This is a classic PMT hyperbolic comparison used to express disdain for Wentz.

Prime Cam Newton is the ultimate choice for a team of 11 clones

Prime Cam Newton without a doubt would be [the choice]. I'm switching mine to prime Cam Newton... think about how big and strong and fast he is and can throw. He would have the one thing prime [would need].

Hypothetical scenario that cannot be verified.

The Dallas Mavericks are officially contenders to win a championship this year

Are we officially contenders? For sure. I mean, you know, it takes time to adjust to a new coach. We're 18 and six over the last 24 games. Our defense is top three and our offense is top 10. If you're a top 10 offense and a top five defense, you have a chance to compete for a title.

The Mavericks reached the Western Conference Finals in 2022, placing them in the final four teams and validating their status as title contenders.

Interacting with other parents is the absolute worst part of parenting

My son's school closed because of construction permanently and I got stuck in a WhatsApp thread with a bunch of parents who wanted to sue. This is not what I like—being a parent is awesome of your children. Having to interact with other parents is the worst.

Subjective life experience.
