Jalen Ramsey roasts Quarterbacks and we do word association with his list ( - ). Mt Rushmore of sidekicks ( - ).

Putting the third announcer on a field-level cart for MNF is a mistake

When you put a guy, a third guy, not in the booth, in some fucking weird contraption on the field, it will always feel like he's butting into the conversation and doesn't know really when to talk.

The 'Booger Mobile' was widely panned by fans and eventually discontinued after one season.

Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston will officially be labeled a bust this year

One of those two guys [Mariota or Winston] is going to suck again and we go bust, bust, bust.

Both players eventually lost their starting jobs with their original teams. Winston was replaced after 2019 and Mariota was benched for Tannehill in 2019.

Jalen Ramsey will have a major, high-profile mistake this season due to 'karma'

I'm saying Jalen Ramsey is going to have a big fuck up in a big game this year. And people are going to have a roast show on Twitter.

Ramsey had a good season individually, but the Jaguars went 5-11 and the hype around him turned to frustration before his eventual trade.

Big Ben believes the helmet is literally part of his head

I think Big Ben is dumb enough where he actually believes that the helmet is part of his head. And he's like, I've been decapitated.

Satirical characterization.

It's a sad day when Roethlisberger, Rivers, and Eli Manning retire

I'm going to really be disappointed when Big Ben retires. He's one of those guys, I don't want to get doom and gloom here, but Big Ben, Rivers, Eli Manning, all these guys retiring is going to be so sad.

Jared Goff is a front runner for the 2018 NFL MVP

Jared, a lot of people are saying MVP candidate this year. I'm putting it out there right now. I think I said front runner MVP for 2018, right?

Goff had a great year (Pro Bowl), but Patrick Mahomes won the MVP in 2018.

The Rams will make the Super Bowl this season

[Are you guys going to the Super Bowl this year?] Man, we better. We've got a good team. We've got good pieces in place.

The Rams did reach Super Bowl LIII in the 2018 season.

I am not a fan of Europe and didn't enjoy staying in London

I don't love staying in London. The city of London is great. We stayed like an hour outside of London. Food is not great. And there's not really much to do. And I just don't, I'm just not a huge fan of Europe.

Dwight Schrute is a sidekick to Michael Scott

I'm going to go with George Costanza and Dwight Schrute. Those are my second and third picks [for Mount Rushmore of Sidekicks]. [Dwight] was to Michael.

A-Rod moving to third base makes him an all-time sidekick

My next one is going to be A-Rod. Move to third base. Before he ever won anything.

Salt water in the ocean is created by fish semen

It's brackish because that's where all the fish come. So when a fish jizzes... all that jizz has to go somewhere, and it just goes in the water and makes salt water.

Fact ClaimLifeScorchingSarcastic
Scientifically incorrect; salinity is caused by dissolved minerals and salts from land.
