Nascar Driver Denny Hamlin And Eagles Lane Johnson

Friday, February 16, 201810 takes

Brain Dump Friday. NBA All Star Weekend and we get a little weird with the start of the show. Josh Allen update, still tall. We're going to try to create the world's worst app, Jes-Its the Cheez-Its for Church (don't worry it will make sense, maybe), and set an ambitious goal to either get everyone to start watching a fake Netflix show or the Tommy Lee Pam Anderson Sex Tape (-). Nascar Driver and former Daytona 500 Champion Denny Hamlin joins the show to explain to us how race car driving is a real sport, how many guys illegally use adderall, what happens when you want to fight a guy, and how lame Joey Logano is (-). Segments include Tampering, where everyone tampers with Kirk  Cousins including us (-). Take Quake for Mike Francesca saying Jason Kelce should be cut for swearing, (-) Stay Woke on Bill Walton accidentally leaking WatchESPN's Big Brother conspiracy,(-) and Jimbos with Super Bowl Champion Lane Johnson as well as a discussion about his viral Patriots comments (-).

Donovan Mitchell will win the NBA Slam Dunk Contest

I'm going to go with my pick. Ready? You want to pick? Donovan Mitchell. Because I feel like to win the dunk contest, you have to have that big time buzz, regular season buzz. He's got that a lot. And so people are going to be like, this is the coronation of Donovan Mitchell.

Josh Allen is going to suck in the NFL

I love this Josh Allen buzz. He is going to suck, and it's going to be great.

Josh Allen became a perennial MVP candidate and one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

AJ McCarron is the perfect fit for the Arizona Cardinals

AJ McCarron has Arizona Cardinals screaming all over him. That seems like the perfect fit. Shirt off. Business tats.

McCarron signed with the Buffalo Bills, not the Cardinals.

Russell Wilson has never actually had sex

I'm a Russell Wilson sex truther. I don't think that Russell Wilson's actually had sex. If he has, it's probably through a sheet. He's just not cool enough to have sex.

Russell Wilson has children with Ciara, making the literal claim incorrect.

I will win the 2018 Daytona 500

Yes, I would [guarantee a victory this Sunday]. Starting on the front row, we're starting second with our FedEx Camry... I think that we got just a good, if not better, shot because obviously our car is faster.

Austin Dillon won the 2018 Daytona 500. Hamlin finished 3rd.

About 70% of NASCAR drivers use Adderall or similar medication to focus

[Big Cat: You've got to put a percentage on it... 90%? 70%?] I would say yes [to 70%].

This is a subjective claim that was never officially verified, though it caused a major stir in the NASCAR community.

LeBron James is a better all-around player than Michael Jordan, but I trust Jordan more at the end of a game

I will say LeBron is better all around, but I trust Michael at the end of the game.

The GOAT debate is inherently subjective.

The WatchESPN app allows the network to spy on you inside your house

Alex Jones thinks that Bill Walton was being 100% serious... It would also be great if Bill Walton accidentally exposed this, and ESPN was trying not to let this out, and he was just off on one of his weird trips, and he unwittingly uncovered the most giant conspiracy in the history of cable television.

There is no evidence the WatchESPN app uses device cameras for unauthorized surveillance of users' homes.

I would rather win one Super Bowl and have fun than win five in a fear-based organization

I think a lot of guys just want to be happy playing football... It's like the Patriots, obviously, they won five Super Bowls. Is that necessarily guideline minds to win the Super Bowl?... I don't want to be serious. I want to be a not serious individual and get the job done.

This is a subjective preference about team culture and career fulfillment.

Ex-Patriot players won't speak the truth about how much they hated playing for Belichick

What do you think they're going to say? I can hate it there. No, I won Super Bowls. We had a great time. They're not going to badmouth their coach. They're not going to say what they really want to say. Do you think that's going to happen? Hell no.

While some players (like Cassius Marsh) later echoed this sentiment, it remains a subjective interpretation of other players' feelings.
