PJ Tucker's role on a championship team is specifically to be the 'dog'

PJ Tucker's role is to be a dog. So he was just like saying, you need dogs to win that's him. Yeah. So he was like, yeah. He was like defining his role. He had to teach everyone else how to be a dog.

Ordering soda without ice is a smart consumer move to get 25% more drink

I think that's just being a smart consumer. You get more soda that way. I think it's something with you. I think Europeans don't... you get extra probably 25% of the drink with them and you don't need the waste.

Ice takes up physical space in a cup, so excluding it allows for more liquid. 25% is a reasonable estimate for a standard fast-food ice fill.

Texas is the most high-maintenance girl in college football

It is a very Texas thing to do. They always think that they're going to be the hottest chick in the room and they never are. It's like Texas is the most high maintenance girl that you've ever dated. They always need to be told how good they look all the time.

Subjective comparison of program prestige and behavior.

Joining the SEC is a mistake for Texas because they are not 'back' yet

Texas is going to be in trouble. I think if they go to the sec because they're not, they're not Texas, Texas is not back yet. They've been almost back for a while. And I think, I think it'd be a big mistake. They still think that there the Texas of old.

Since joining the SEC in 2024, Texas has actually been very competitive (making the SEC Championship and Playoff hunt), suggesting the 'mistake' label was perhaps premature.

Jerry Jones would commit murder for a chance at another Super Bowl

I'm not trying to be sacrilegious here, but the facts are that I would right now, if I could, and I knew I had a good chance to do it, I would do anything known to man to get into a Superbowl. [PFT]: Mike McCarthy, you think would Mike McCarthy die for the super bowl? ... [Jerry] wants to kill someone. I think, I think, I think Mike McCarthy, who would kneel down onto like a, a block and you put the rest, his head on it and have Jerry Jones smash.

Hot TakeFootballFireSarcastic
Jerry Jones' comments were clearly figurative; there is no evidence of him committing murder.

NIL is a primary driver for Texas and Oklahoma's move to the SEC

Texas and enable to get way more. And I am on you for the recruits than probably other colleges with the Longhorns network. Yeah. So I was thinking that would probably be a huge reason why they want to go into the sec because they all this money, they can pay the recruits.

While money (TV deals) is the biggest factor, the ability to better facilitate NIL deals in a premier conference is a widely accepted secondary driver for realignment.

Miami Marlins are the most edible team name in professional sports

I was actually I went through all the teams and I was like, what is just the most edible thing? And I think it's the Miami Marlins. I would take the Marlins. I would eat them Marlyn. And I think that's something people actually eat. I believe so. I, they look delicious.

Marlin is indeed edible, though less common than other billfish like swordfish.

Penguin meat would be a delicious treat because of their fat layer

I'm going to go with a penguin. Ooh. I would eat a penguin... And you admit though, like their diet gives them a nice layer of fat. Yeah. It's probably a delicious treat. Yeah. Right.

Historically, explorers described penguin meat as tough, oily, and fishy-tasting—rarely 'delicious.'

Peyton Manning's Hall of Fame debate only lasted 10 seconds

He knew it, it took 10 seconds for him to get in the hall of fame. You know, Mike Chapple from Indianapolis did his presentation. And I think all he said was Peyton Manning dropped the mic. Yeah. And, and, and he, he didn't have to make the presentation. Everybody knew he was going to.

Baker is the ultimate authority on these meetings. It is a well-documented story that the Manning presentation was incredibly brief.

Olivia Manning is effectively a Hall of Fame 'contributor' for her role in her family's success

I feel like Olivia Manning should be nominated for the hall of fame as a contributor... [Baker]: Olivia and... frankly, her mom was a world-class sprinter, you know? So I think he [Christian McCaffrey] got some speed from her... Olivia and I, and again, I got to tell you... I've always regarded him [Archie] as one of the great fathers.

This is a subjective tribute to mothers of athletes.

Cleaning your ass with a showerhead and a towel is a valid solution when you run out of TP while moving

I sat down and started taking a shit and realized there was no toilet paper. And so I just took a shower... I didn't have anything. I just literally got in the shower or like wipe my ass and then got out... I used the towel and I threw away the towel.

The 'correctness' of a hygiene practice in a crisis is subjective.

Experienced fathers develop a 'sixth sense' that allows them to catch vomit in their hands

I finally get after all these years, like why people love the Jersey shore... My son was a little sick this week. I, now I have like dad's sixth sense. I caught my son's puke in my own hand that's because I knew it was coming and I fucking caught the whole goddamn puke in my hands.
