Donald Trump saved football because Americans will care less about CTE science during his presidency

Under Trump, the country will care less about truth or facts. It'll be more raw and brutal. Football will be more of an outlet. We'll go back to liking our violent sports... So Trump saved football. He saved football. Already made America great again.

While satirical, the literal claim that Trump 'saved' football ratings is incorrect as NFL ratings continued to face challenges and became even more politicized during his term.

Robert Griffin III will lead the Browns to their first win and his free agent stock will soar

That would be the most Robert Griffin triumph of all time is if he led the Browns to their one win. And then, guess what? Stock goes way up in the free agent marketplace.

The 2016 Browns did finish 1-15, but their lone win was against the Chargers with RG3 starting, though he didn't finish the game due to injury and it didn't significantly boost his free agent stock.

Setting a hotel room thermostat to 60 degrees is the best move in life

Stardom, putting the hotel room to like 60 degrees. That is the best move out there. Love doing that. I don't even care if it's winter. Just get under those blankets.

The Raiders will beat the Texans in Mexico City as the 'Don Julio Shot of the Week'

And then the Raiders in Mexico City. Hey, what do you say we make that our shot of the week? Don Julio, Mexico tequila. O-Cart Julio. O-Culio. O-Culio shot of the week. Darkheart shot of the week.

The Raiders won 27-20 on November 21, 2016.

The Patriots will blow out the 49ers in Week 11

Hank, I agree with you on the Patriots. I think they're going to kill the 49ers.

The Patriots won 30-17. While a double-digit win, 'kill' is a strong word, but they covered the spread and won handily.

Thomas Morstead would be the last man standing in a punter battle royale

I think Thomas Morstead, actually. I feel like he secretly does karate and stuff, and he's super jacked. John Ryan's also pretty jacked... I don't think I've survived too long to find out.

Skyline Chili is good; people only hate it because they have soft out-of-town stomachs

I think it's pretty good... I got a feeling that your hatred for Skyline comes from, you know, just your guys' soft stomachs out there in New York... out-of-towners don't have a very tough stomach.

Being a father makes LeBron James' workload effectively 72-hour days

LeBron's a father. He's got three kids. Being a father is a 24-hour-a-day job. So really, LeBron James works, what, 72-hour days? He works every, yeah. Doesn't get paid for it? Yep. So I can understand why that would take a little bit out of you.

This is a satirical take using impossible math (72 hours in a 24-hour day).

I feel washed up at 31 while LeBron James claims he is only getting stronger

LeBron came out today and said, he had this to say, people think I'm going to slow down, but I'm only getting stronger. Huh. We're LeBron's age, right? We're both 31. Do you feel like you're getting stronger as a human? Because I feel like I'm getting washed up day by day.

The website Fantex, which sold stock in athletes, is a total scam

I went to Fantex.com. You'll remember Fantex is the company that allowed you to buy stock in professional athletes. Totally reputable company where you could pay like $10,000 to get like half a percentage of half a percentage of Arian Foster's future earnings. Not a Ponzi scheme. Not a Ponzi scheme at all. Totally legit, above board, and their website's not working.

Fantex eventually ceased its trading platform operations and underwent various corporate shifts, validating the skepticism about the sustainability of its business model.

Donald Trump paid 'creepy clowns' to create chaos in America before the election

What happened to the clowns?... Chaos is good for Trump. You don't think Trump bought some clowns and had them kind of have some panic around America? Because that's coincidental that the clowns are just not here anymore... they just disappeared.

There is no evidence that Donald Trump engineered the 2016 clown sightings, and the phenomenon was largely attributed to social media trends and Halloween marketing.
