Marlins Man belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame

Do you think Marlins Man has a chance of making the Hall of Fame? I think that he's got to be in the conversation. Put him in the asterisk wing.

The Hall of Fame does not actually have an asterisk wing for superfans, making this literally incorrect but a funny bit.

Trading Sam Bradford for a first and fourth-round pick was a great deal for the Eagles

The Eagles, great trade for them. Any Eagles fan that's upset by this, I really don't know what to tell you. You just traded Sam Bradford. You weren't going to go to the playoffs, and you got a first and a fourth round.

Widely considered a massive win for the Eagles; they drafted Derek Barnett with that pick and won the Super Bowl a year later.

Sam Bradford is a 'bunk credit score loan' who has sucked and will always suck

Sam Bradford is basically like one of these bunk credit score loans that get repackaged and repackaged and repackaged and sold for normal money... Sam Bradford has sucked, will always suck, and will continue to suck.

Bradford had a decent 2016 season stat-wise but ultimately failed to live up to the #1 overall pick pedigree or his massive contracts.

The Vikings will make the playoffs with Sam Bradford

I think the Vikings are going to probably go to the playoffs now. [PFT: I think you're insane.] I think that their defense is good enough, and I think more than anything, it's a mental thing. You have to show your team that you're not going to just punt on the year.

The Vikings started 5-0 but collapsed to finish 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

Nick Saban doesn't have sex, he just 'soaks' and watches film

I don't think that Saban has sex. I think that Saban just soaks. You know what soaking is? Yeah, it's the Mormon thing. He just soaks it for a while. And then he's watching film, grading players at the same time.

Highly unlikely to be true, and impossible to verify, but fits the 'football guy' persona they've built for Saban.

The selfie is the new autograph

I don't really do a lot of autographs. I do a lot more pictures. I think I've had more pictures taken by me in the last year than anybody. The selfie is the new autograph.

In the decade since, selfies have almost entirely replaced traditional autographs for modern celebrities and athletes.

A mayor is not a first responder, they are a 'fourth responder'

My understanding of what a first responder is, is when you see a disaster or trouble... those guys are going in. [Bloomberg] is not a first responder. He's the fourth responder.

This is an opinion on terminology, but technically mayors are government officials, not emergency services personnel.

Christian McCaffrey should have won the Heisman Trophy

Last year, Christian McCaffrey, the best football player on planet Earth, he should have won the Heisman, but he didn't get it because he's a Christian and maybe a white male, but mostly because he's Christian.

Derrick Henry won in 2015. McCaffrey set the all-purpose yardage record, leading many to believe he was the rightful winner.

The SEC is 'bad' this year (2016)

RIP to the SEC, who's bad this year.

Alabama made the National Championship this year, but the conference overall was perceived as weaker than usual outside of the top.

LSU does not have a good quarterback and will continue to struggle passing the ball

Turns out LSU doesn't have a good quarterback. Oh, you think? No doy. The 10,000th year that Les Miles has a quarterback that can't throw the ball.

LSU struggled at QB until the Joe Burrow era in 2018-2019. Les Miles was fired later in the 2016 season.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen might be getting a divorce

Like, maybe things aren't going so well in paradise? Maybe the big D word coming down the pike? Like, maybe he doesn't have such close ties with Brazil anymore?

Fact ClaimMediaFireSarcastic
They did not divorce in 2016; they remained married until 2022.
