Josh Norman should retire immediately after that Derrick Henry stiff arm

Josh Norman should retire like soon after that. Derrick Henry stiff arms are hilarious... he does like The Kill Bill the Five Finger Death Punch on you like Taps who with his fingertips and then your heart stops immediately and you go limp you go flying.

Norman did not retire immediately, but his career was effectively in its twilight as he only played sporadically for a few more seasons.

The Chargers are just the Seahawks but they lose at the end

The Chargers are the Seahawks. They just lose at the end. They are the JV low-rent version of what the Seahawks do—they play weird games, are always in it till the end, but they are just always on the losing end of those really weird strange fourth quarters. They invent ways to lose.

The 2020 Chargers finished 7-9 with multiple one-score losses, fitting the narrative perfectly.

Drew Brees is officially washed

I am sticking with my Drew Brees has washed. What I'm saying is they have a Super Bowl roster and Drew Brees is probably going to be the thing that holds them back when they get in a playoff game against the pass rush... he's no longer at that level.

Brees retired after this season following a divisional round loss where he struggled significantly, supporting the idea he was no longer at his peak.

I will tattoo Drew Brees' career touchdown total on my arm if the Saints make the Super Bowl

If The New Orleans Saints get to the Super Bowl. I will tattoo the final number of Drew Brees touchdowns for his career somewhere in my arm.

The Saints lost to the Buccaneers in the Divisional Round, so Big Cat did not have to get the tattoo.

Justin Herbert passes the 'eyeball test' as a professional rookie

[Justin Herbert] passed my eyeball test right off the bat... he was a Pro's Pro. He was a precocious rookie. I like the Justin Herbert that I saw in the first few games. I don't want him to lose that edge.

Herbert won Offensive Rookie of the Year and became a top-tier NFL quarterback.

Le'Veon Bell will sign with the Patriots

In which case I think we can all agree. He's probably going to go to the Patriots because that's what always happens.

Le'Veon Bell signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, not the Patriots.

The 'Doggface' Fleetwood Mac cranberry juice video was a corporate plant

I think that he is Probably a plant. I think that this is mostly done... a combo stunt done by Fleetwood Mac and Gary Graham berry juice—big cranberry—and the fact that he has not been canceled that tells me that tattoo on the Subspace. Probably not real. He's probably an actor.

There is no evidence the video was planted; it was widely reported as an organic moment that brands later capitalized on.

LeBron James is the second-best player to be born in Akron, Ohio

[LeBron] is the second best player to be born in Akron, Ohio behind Steph Curry, correct? That's our compliments of LeBron.

While both were born in Akron, LeBron is almost universally ranked higher than Curry in all-time greatness lists, making the 'second best' claim a subjective troll.

Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porziņģis are cornerstones; the Mavs need one more piece for a title

We've got two cornerstones in KP and Luka... one one more piece, I think really gets us to competing for title just a question of whether or not we can get that player... defending really good Wing players, you know, the Bron's, the Kawhi's, the Paul George's... we need better Defenders that can also score.

The Luka/KP pairing ultimately failed and Porziņģis was traded. The Mavs reached the finals in 2024 after rebuilding around Luka and Kyrie Irving.

Gen Z's lack of cable is the primary reason for declining sports TV ratings

Our biggest fan base comes from gen Z and younger Millennials... consume more basketball and NBA than any sport online but they don't have cable. They don't have satellite and so they couldn't even get ESPN and TNT. So that's a real problem for us... it's not about making excuses, the reality is this is just a different year.

This has become a widely accepted industry view, with leagues shifting heavily toward streaming services to capture younger audiences.

The US should implement a $1,000 stimulus check every two weeks for a couple of months

The idea of thousand dollar stimulus every two weeks... when people have money to spend we can boost up the economy... That's not a long-term solution... but if you do it every two weeks for a couple months and you also make it you have to spend it or lose it... that puts money into the economy that has a multiplier effect.

While more stimulus checks were issued, they were one-time payments and never reached the $1,000 every-two-weeks frequency Cuban proposed.

I am developing an app to crowdsource the 'vibe' and gender ratio of bars in real-time

I have developed an idea for a Marketplace that will get information from producers to consumers in The Nightlife and entertainment industry. It would crowdsource information real time from people on the street going to a bar or a restaurant... You basically just get demographics to go where you want... how many dudes are at the bar right now?

The app 'Gala' (or 'How Many Dudes') never launched as a successful commercial product.
