I still believe Aaron Donald is too undersized to be successful

What Aaron Donald is doing as an interior lineman is insane. I still think [Donald] is too undersized to be successful.

Aaron Donald is a future Hall of Famer and widely considered one of the greatest defensive players ever; he was definitely 'successful' regardless of size.

I'm taking the Bears -3.5 against the Lions on Thanksgiving

Right now the Bears are favored by 3.5 points. I like the Bears. The defense looks legit... I would take them by 10.

The Bears beat the Lions 23-16 on Thanksgiving 2018, covering the 3.5 point spread.

I'm taking the Redskins +7.5 against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving

Listen, 7.5 is a lot to give to Colt McCoy. Colt McCoy, he's a cowboy killer... I'm going to take the Redskins.

The Cowboys beat the Redskins 31-23, covering the 7.5 spread by a half-point.

I'm taking the under in the Redskins-Cowboys Thanksgiving game

I think the under's the way to go here. 40 and a half? Yeah, I feel like both these teams are going to struggle often. They both have good defenses.

The Cowboys won 31-23, for a total of 54 points, which went well over the 40.5 line.

Ayahuasca could help fix Markelle Fultz's mental block

That could actually probably help Markelle Fultz because it's all in his mind. [Ayahuasca] will clear you up... his brain is broken.

Fultz never publicly tried Ayahuasca and struggled for years, though he eventually found a role in Orlando.

I am rooting for Washington State to get into the College Football Playoff

I now am rooting for Washington State to get into the playoff just to piss off... Mike Leach... is going to make [Saban or Harbaugh] so angry because they're all serious.

Washington State lost the Apple Cup to Washington and failed to reach the CFP in 2018.

Jalen Ramsey could make it to the fourth tier of professional hockey with six months of training

If [Ramsey] had six months of elite training... I think that he could maybe make the [SPHL]... based off his athleticism... mentally he wouldn't understand the game much.

Ramsey never attempted professional hockey, but the physical jump to any pro level is extremely high.

NHL parity is what makes it superior to all other major sports

To me, the parity is what strengthens the NHL over all the other major sports... things are constantly shaken up because of those rules... in the NBA, it's just like, hey, who's going to play the Warriors?

Whether parity makes a sport 'superior' is entirely subjective.

LeBron James is by far the best player I ever played with

Well, clearly [LeBron James] is the best by far. I think you give D-Wade the nod [for second] because he has three championships, but T-Mac to me was the hardest cover ever.

This is a subjective evaluation of talent/greatness.

I'm going to knock out Tito Ortiz in the first round

I actually am thinking I'm going to knock him out in the first round... I don't expect to make that [past] the first round.

Tito Ortiz knocked out Chuck Liddell in the first round of their fight on November 24, 2018.
