Lane Kiffin was happy to see Alabama lose the National Championship

The second you move on from [a relationship], there's a small part of you that will always love to see bad things happen to that person... And Lane Kiffin is, by all accounts, a much bigger dick than normal people. So you have to believe that he was popping bottles.

While subjective, Kiffin's public persona and subsequent 'trolling' of Saban/Alabama over the years supports the spirit of this take.

Alabama recruits should be upgraded from Dodge Chargers to Mercedes

Fair or not, Nick Saban should stop giving everyone, all his recruits, Dodge Chargers... Maybe upgrade them to the Mercedes, the new Mercedes, please.

Recruiting violations regarding cars are often alleged but rarely proven to the extent of a fleet of Mercedes; this is a joke about NIL-era before NIL existed.

Alabama will vote Democrat in the next election because of the football loss

Fair or not, Nick Saban hasn't won a national title since Trump got elected... as we've learned, could be some funny business if your team doesn't do so well in Alabama. Therefore, look for Alabama to vote Democrat next election cycle.

Alabama remained a Republican stronghold in 2020.

Yahoo's name change to Altaba is a brilliant way to hide from the public eye

I have Yahoo on my cool throne because the best way to secretly get out of the public eye is just have a vaguely foreign sounding company by you and change your name. And just claim that your entire company was satire.

The Altaba name change did occur following the Verizon acquisition of Yahoo's core assets, but it was a holding company for Alibaba shares, not a PR stunt to claim the business was satire.

Tiger Woods is officially back

I think he's back. Actually, being that I practiced with him and play with him before and before the Ryder Cup and leading up to the Bahamas, he kept looking better and better.

Tiger would win the Masters in 2019, which proved he was indeed 'back' in a major way, though he faced many health setbacks between 2017 and 2019.

Bubba Watson is the biggest dickhead on the PGA Tour

We'll give it to [Bubba Watson] just for fun. He's one of my best friends, but... Just for fun, Bubba Watson's the biggest dick on tour. Got it.

This is a subjective opinion on personality within the PGA Tour.

Derrick Rose should use being hacked as an excuse for going missing

He didn't tweet anything. He didn't do anything wrong on the internet. So then just say you got hacked. My life got hacked.

Rose did not use this excuse; he later cited a family matter.

David Ortiz will return to the MLB in the summer of 2017

I agree with Hank. What do you think? Like mid season? You think he's going to come for the whole season? Summer. He'll take the cold months off and come back.

David Ortiz remained retired and did not play in the 2017 season.

Tony Siragusa is a closeted actor

It sounds to me like he's [Tony Siragusa] got some pent-up latent actor tendencies. It's like homophobes are usually, secretly, they have homosexual tendencies. So it sounds like Tony's just a closeted actor. A closeted thespian.

Hot TakePop CultureHotSarcastic
Siragusa did have several acting credits, as noted in the quote, making the 'closeted' part a humorous exaggeration of his existing bit-part career.
