Heidelberg and I were the first two people in America to accept the Ice Bucket Challenge

Feidelberg and I were the first two people in America to accept the Ice Bucket Water Challenge. ... If you just challenge and no one accepts it, then it never works. ... Feidelberg and I were the only ones who did it right away. We started the Ice Bucket Challenge.

The challenge started earlier with golfers and Chris Kennedy; Pete Frates and Barstool popularized it in New England/nationally, but they weren't the first in America.

I want to see a linebacker demolish the special needs kid during feel-good football plays

Does it make me a bad person that when that happens I always want some kid to just like truck stick them? ... I always want the opposing linebacker to just demolish the special needs kid and be like, no free plays on my field.

This is a subjective preference for chaos in feel-good moments.

Always be wary of an 'offensive genius' coach

The offensive mind, always be wary of the offensive mind. That's actually a good motto in life. Mark Trestman's another one. Always be wary of the offensive genius. I'd rather a defensive guy than an offensive guy any day of the week.

The success of 'offensive geniuses' vs 'defensive guys' is a long-standing sports debate that varies by coach.

The Washington Capitals would be better if they were coached by a 'junkie mom' figure

They never should have gotten rid of Bruce Boudreau... because he's a really shitty coach. ... the best analogy I can give is like if you have a mom who's a junkie. A lot of times the eldest siblings will step up their leadership roles and know that they have to look after the team. ... they learn a lot of accountability because they got to cover up for their drunk dad.

Hot TakeHockeyFireSarcastic
The Capitals continued to choke until they finally won in 2018 with Barry Trotz, a competent coach, partially debunking the 'bad coach' theory.

The only weakness for the 2016 Cubs is that they are still the Cubs

The thing that scares me is the only weakness I can find on this Cubs team is that we're still the Cubs. ... It will be all-time heartbreak.

The Cubs actually broke the curse and won the World Series in 2016, proving Big Cat's fear wrong.

Danzing Candy is a possible upset pick to lead the Kentucky Derby from start to finish

On the front end, a horse that's going to be about 20, 30 to 1 and has a shot is a horse called Danzing Candy... He'll be on the lead. They'll probably leave him alone on the lead. ... that's a recipe for a possible upset.

Danzing Candy finished 20th (last) in the 2016 Kentucky Derby.

Sudden Breaking News will be running faster than any other horse at the finish line

There's a horse... his name is Sudden Breaking News. I promise you, he may not win, he may not finish second, he may not finish third. But when the horses cross the finish line, he'll be running faster than any horse in the race.

Sudden Breaking News finished 5th and was indeed gaining ground late, but Nyquist won comfortably.

Never plead guilty to a crime even if you were caught on video

What lawyer tells his client to ever plead guilty? I've never understood that. ... My legal advice for everybody out there: Just don't plead guilty even if you absolutely did it and you're caught on video. Don't do it.

Plea bargains are a fundamental part of the legal system that often benefit the defendant; never pleading guilty is generally poor legal advice.

Dave Portnoy will live to be 120 years old out of pure spite

Dave, everything will say Dave should die, and then he'll probably live to be like 120 because he's a motherfucker. ... He'll complain every single day for the rest of his life to 120, but he'll live to 120.

Dave Portnoy is still alive and thriving, though 120 is statistically unlikely.

Millennials are pussies who lack accountability and positivity

I think that he's right that millennials have no sense of positivity when it comes to adversity. If there's one thing I know about millennials is that they don't like it when they're put in a bad situation. Millennials are pussies. Yeah, exactly.

This is a subjective generational critique delivered satirically.
