The mockery of NFL Combine hand size measurements has gone too far; it actually matters for quarterback performance.

I think the pendulum has swung so far into mocking combine season. I actually hate it now... It might not directly correlate, but would you not rather have a guy with a bigger hand than a smaller hand? There is absolutely a benefit to having a big hand if you're trying to grip a football in the rain or cold.

The value of hand size in the NFL remains a debated analytical topic, with most data suggesting it has little to no correlation with success or fumble rates.

Joe Burrow is using 'Galaxy Brain' reverse psychology on the Bengals by saying he would play for them.

I think that this is Galaxy brain [Joe] Burrow because I think that he is showing intentionally such poor vision making process that he says that he will play for the Bengals so the Bengals be like, 'Oh fuck, we don't want him.' Boom, red flag. Who in their right minds would you want to play for the Bengals?

Burrow did play for the Bengals and led them to a Super Bowl, proving it wasn't a trick.

In the modern NFL, having a transcendental offense is better than having a very good defense.

I'd say that having a transcendental offense is probably better usually than having a very good defense because it's extremely hard to put together all the pieces on defense... just one of those easy things to just be like, 'Hey, we want to have an explosive offense.'

This reflects the general consensus in NFL strategy during this era.

Jacob Eason will be a top 10 pick because scouts will forget his bad film as the draft gets closer.

The guy this year is going to be [Jacob] Eason from Washington. As we get closer to the draft, people are going to forget about what he put on film at Washington. And he was eventually he'll be like top 10.

Jacob Eason was actually drafted in the 4th round (pick 122), far from the top 10.

Madison's stance on Peter sleeping with other women is normal for real life but irrational for The Bachelor.

In the normal world, the problems that Madison have where it's like, 'Hey, we might be getting engaged next week, I don't want you sleeping with other girls the week before we get engaged,' that is normal. In The Bachelor Cinematic Universe, you know what you signed up for. What are we doing here?

This is a subjective assessment of reality TV dynamics.

If Zion Williamson is truly 300 pounds, he is the most impressive athlete of all time.

If Zion is 300 pounds, he's the most impressive athlete of all time. He's doing this as a 300-pounder... Better numbers than rookie LeBron. It's incredible watching him.

Zion's weight and athleticism were historically unique, though injuries later hampered his career.

WeWork is a disaster that will inevitably go to zero.

You are a zero and you're going to zero with a bullet... It always goes to zero because what you're basically doing is taking long-term debt obligations to either lease or buy a building and then you're providing short-term leases to some really shitty companies that don't make any money... It is a disaster on wheels.

WeWork eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2023 after its valuation crashed from $47 billion to essentially zero.

I can sense the 'aura of success' or failure in a person before they even speak.

I can actually tell now when they step out on that carpet... and at that moment I can sense their aura. And I know exactly whether we have winners or losers. They don't even have to say anything. I'm right a hundred percent. I can now at this point sense the aura of success or losers.

This is an unverifiable claim about his own perception.

Jimmy Garoppolo is not a championship-caliber quarterback because he missed the throw to Emmanuel Sanders.

I'm taking 20 percent off retail on [Jimmy Garoppolo]. He did not perform. He had a minute and a half, I said, 'this is his moment to shine.' He did nothing... he missed that throw to Emmanuel Sanders. That was it. You can't be forgiven for that.

Garoppolo never won a Super Bowl as a starter and was eventually replaced in San Francisco.
