Cody Parkey will miss a big kick in a playoff game and ruin the Browns' season

Cody Parkey will fuck you in the face. If the Browns make the playoffs, there is no sure bet in the entire world, then Cody Parkey doing this to the Browns. Cody Parkey will miss the big kick in a playoff game for the Browns and the Browns we'll have no one to blame, but themselves because everyone has alerted you.

In the 2020 Wild Card game against the Steelers, Parkey did miss an extra point and a 46-yard field goal, though the Browns still won. He was perfect in their Divisional loss to the Chiefs.

Losing a bet on a safety or scoregami play is a better story than a standard loss

If you had like a unit on it, it's not even that bad because that's a story that you can tell. I'd rather lose on that play and be like, 'Oh man, I can't believe I had the under in Raiders Colts.' This is a great story you can tell. I took the Browns to cover on that Monday night football game where Lamar Jackson spent half the time getting rid of the Chipotle that was in his anus.

This is subjective; some gamblers value the story, others only value the money.

Giannis staying in Milwaukee is a major victory for NBA parity

I think this is actually great for the league. It's a win for the league because you have a little bit more parity. You have the small market teams like teams drafting a superstar and be able to hold on to them is important for the league.

Giannis will eventually want out of Milwaukee if they suffer more early playoff exits

If they get bounced, like for years in a row, he'll be like, yeah, I'm out. He still has an out because it's the NBA and any player can say, I want out at any time.

Giannis stayed and won the championship that very same season (2020-2021).

Outside beer season is the best beer season

Outdoor beers. It's outdoor beer season. When it's snowing outside, when it's cold, you don't have to take up space in your refrigerator, you leave the beers outside. It's God's refrigerator. You crack open a beer directly from your porch and it tastes colder than it does on the fridge. It's the best season of all.

Subjective preference for beer temperature and storage.

Jake Paul is a fraud and is scared to fight me

He is scared to fight you. That's what I heard. That's not a rumor. That's a fact. He texted Billy and it was like, I'm scared. Anyway. One step closer to me beat his ass. She's a fraud.

Jake Paul has never fought Billy Football and has likely never expressed fear of him.

Twitter's decision to discontinue Periscope is a mistake

Hot Seat Periscope. It's been discontinued in March. The Twitter made the decision to, it's going to be Twitter live. So the memories that the Cat caves there. Twitter does that. They choose the wrong thing to do and do it more than any company that's ever existed.

Subjective opinion on business strategy, though Periscope's core functionality was integrated into the main app.

The White Out at Penn State is the best atmosphere in sports

I still think that, and from everyone I've talked to, they said that the white out's the best atmosphere that they've ever been in. Like it's one of the things that you have to go to it, to like actually experience it. Like it looks awesome on TV, but it's like better in person.

No quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl wearing a visor

It adds up though. We don't think that any quarterback has ever won a super bowl wearing a visor. It's true. [Trace McSorley]: I guess we got to change that. [PFT]: No, I mean, I think we've got a, when it, with the visor, that's what I'm saying. We need someone to do it.

Jim McMahon (Bears XX) and Jim Plunkett (Raiders XV/XVIII) both occasionally wore visors, though McMahon is the most notable for wearing one during games.

A period is the only acceptable punctuation for a social media blowout tweet

I've definitely noticed the Final period, period is the, the piece of punctuation you'd have to use. Like if it's a blowout, you can't do a comma. You certainly can't do a semi-colon because then that opens you up for more. Final period conveys like the right amount of sobriety and conveys, like we're not going to discuss this anymore.

Subjective take on digital communication style.

An Xbox is the best breakup gift to give during the holidays

What's the best gift to get someone that you want to break up with after the holiday season? An Xbox, I'm just going to say it. Like something that will keep them entertained. Because if you break up with him after giving him an Xbox, he's not going to be talking to you anyways. At that point it will just be obsessed with his new video game system.
