The entire city of Houston is a front for a drug operation

I think the entire city of Houston is just a front for some sort of drug operation. That's failing because I don't know what... None of these stores are... I don't know... And the drug operation itself is failing, too.

Hot TakeLifeFireSarcastic
Houston is a major American city and global energy hub, not a singular drug front.

Shaka Smart having an assistant hold a paint can to remind players to stay in the paint is a good move

You know, we make fun of a lot of things and we kind of have a good time on this podcast, but I actually buy this move. Full on. That is like a literal, you know, get into the paint while a guy's flashing a can of paint in your face. You remember to get in the paint.

The effectiveness of the paint can prop is subjective to the Texas team's performance, but it is a real coaching tactic he is endorsing.

Tiger Woods missing the cut is actually good because he can't get injured during the final two rounds

Other spin zone, he only played two rounds because he missed the cut. So that's two less rounds you could injure himself in. Less wear and tear. Smart move getting ready for the Masters. Way to save yourself.

Hot TakeGolfHotSarcastic
While literally true that you can't be injured in a round you don't play, missing cuts is objectively bad for a professional golfer's performance and ranking.

Super Bowl babies are a myth because fans are too drunk and bloated to have sex after the game

Super Bowl has... I completely disagree. Super Bowl is the last day that you have sex because everyone eats. You eat a million pigs in a blanket. You drink beer. You sit on the couch. You fart. You're not having sex. Yeah, if you win, you're getting drunker. There's no chance you're having sex that night. So, yeah, I think Super Bowl babies might be myth.

While birth data is complex, many sociologists agree the 'Super Bowl baby' phenomenon is largely anecdotal or exaggerated by marketing.

Major League Baseball is the easiest sport to win money on

I would say Major League Baseball is the easiest sport to win. No issue about it. Because, again, think about it. The longevity of the cycle of the season gives you the advantage. Like college and pro football are the two hardest.

This is a subjective claim based on personal gambling success and perceived variance in different sports.

Sports gambling will be legalized 100% across the United States

In the near future, do you see sports gambling being legalized across the country? 100%. Oh, my God. I'll be a multimillionaire overnight because I can advertise everywhere then. I can advertise any station.

In 2018, the Supreme Court struck down the federal ban on sports betting, leading to rapid legalization across many states.

The only way to make money gambling is to bet one game a week and load up

You bet one game a week. Load up. That's the only way to make money gambling. You cannot make money gambling betting every single day. None, never, has never happened.

This is a subjective strategy; while focused betting can reduce exposure, many successful professional gamblers use volume-based models.

Hiring a guy who failed at broadcasting to be a General Manager never fails

The nice thing is you always, when you're an owner of a football team, you always want to find the guy that failed at broadcasting and hire him to be the GM. Yes, exactly. That never, ever fails. Matt Millen. Yes, exactly. That never, ever fails.

OpinionFootballHotSarcastic
John Lynch actually became a highly successful GM for the 49ers, leading them to multiple Super Bowls, making the sarcastic prediction (that he would fail like Millen) literally incorrect.

A real American stays inside on Sunday and watches the Pro Bowl

Hey, you know what it means to be a real American? You stay inside on Sunday and you watch the Pro Bowl. Yeah, you watch the Pro Bowl. You bet on the Pro Bowl. That's what an American does.

OpinionFootballMediumSarcastic
Watching the Pro Bowl is not a requirement or defining trait of American citizenship.

The NFL is stirring up political protests via back channels to boost the Falcons' Rise Up hashtag

A little stay woke on this. NFL stirring up controversy through back channels to get people to tweet the Rise Up hashtag. I actually completely agree with you because what's one of the storylines of this Super Bowl? Atlanta, bad sports town. Not a lot of Falcons fans. Guess what? Now we are all Falcons fans.

The NFL does not orchestrate national political protests to promote team hashtags.
