Leroy is retiring from the scoop game

I'd like to pivot [Leroy] out of the breaking news game, put him out to stud, put him out to retire... and then use the account to grade the scoops of actual insiders. Leroy serves as the judge.

The Leroy account did indeed pivot away from regular breaking news reporting.

Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski will not retire as Buccaneers

Do you think Tom Brady and Gronk will retire as Buccaneers when they go into Canton? No, I think it might if they win a Super Bowl, but there's definitely like a one side of me and it makes sense like Gronk was retired... There's another part of me where it's like, how is Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski playing [NFL] and not on the Patriots?

Brady and Gronk did eventually retire as Buccaneers (Brady twice), though they will forever be remembered as Patriots.

Bill Belichick is cold-blooded and will always choose assets over personal beef

Belichick is the most likely [to make the Gronk trade]. He's like, oh I get a free asset. Most other coaches would be like no. I'm going to let my personal beef standing between me and making the right choice. Belichick is so cold blooded. He'll just be like, yes, I will get something for nothing.

The Patriots successfully turned a retired Gronkowski into a 4th-round draft pick (which became Justin Rohrwasser).

The NBA will never play again in 2020

I don't think they're going to play again ever. I heard a nasty rumor today... I've canceled sports for 2020 you guys got mad at me for that.

The NBA did return in 2020 with the Orlando Bubble.

College football will not happen in 2020

College football's not happening. I don't think it is until the spring. How can you make kids who are not getting paid go and play if there's a pandemic?

College football did happen in the Fall of 2020, though with varied schedules and some conferences (Big Ten/Pac-12) initially postponing.

Tua Tagovailoa's draft slide is legitimate due to injury uncertainty

I kind of buy it [the Tua slide] because of the way the draft is this year. You can't bring him into your building. You can't check him out... he went through the nine-minute 22 second [workout] thing and I think that convinced a lot of people's fears, but the really weird part about this guy is it's Miami. Miami refused to clear Drew Brees because they didn't think his shoulder was strong enough.

Tua did not actually slide much; he was drafted 5th overall by the Dolphins.

Henry Ruggs is more than just a straight-line speed receiver

I love Henry Ruggs. He has 98 catches at Alabama, 24 went for touchdowns... but he's not just a one-trick pony like normally straight-line speed guys like John Ross... he runs the routes. He only had one drop.

Ruggs was the first wide receiver selected in the 2020 draft (12th overall).

I'm afraid of being the person walking past a musician in a viral video

My first one is being in a viral video of musicians on the subway... every time I see a musician in the subway, I'll just stand there for at least like 30 seconds. Just so I'm not one of the people in the video where it's like look at this guy, Paul McCartney playing and you just went right by.

This is a subjective fear and cannot be proven right or wrong.

I'm afraid the entire world is just a Matrix simulation

I'm afraid that this entire world like us sitting here right now is just an imagination of one huge species... every now and then I'm like, we're definitely in The Matrix and none of this is real. None of it. The last year has been very strong evidence.

This is a philosophical theory that cannot be verified.
