Jameis Winston signing with the Saints is a genius move to eventually become the starter in waiting

It actually is genius move by him because Drew Brees you have to think... maybe this year's is last year. Maybe he's got two more years. If you could ingratiate yourself to Sean Payton and what they have going on there... that's actually a very smart thing to do to be the guy in waiting.

Winston did spend a year as Brees' backup before becoming the starter in 2021, though injuries and the arrival of Derek Carr later complicated his trajectory in New Orleans.

Jameis Winston's performance is significantly better on turf than on grass

his grass versus Turf split you ready for this... on grass 22 touchdowns 27 interceptions on Turf 11 touchdowns three interceptions. Wow, his passer rating is almost it's 35 points higher on Turf than it is in Grass.

Career stats for Jameis Winston through 2019 do show a marked improvement on artificial turf vs natural grass surfaces.

I want the 2020 MLB season to be as weird and different as possible

If this season is going to be weird make it really fucking weird... I love this idea that they're going to restructure how the divisions are... it would be so disappointing if they did a shortened baseball season and nothing was different.

The 2020 MLB season did indeed become 'weird,' featuring regional play, the universal DH for the first time, 7-inning doubleheaders, and the 'Manfred runner' in extra innings.

If you don't believe aliens exist, you are an idiot

if you don't think that aliens exist your fucking moron. What does it like that seems like such an obvious thing. I guess. He's more passionate about it, but I would say the people who are like, oh, yeah, there's no aliens there there the idiots.

The existence of extraterrestrial life remains scientifically unproven, making this a subjective matter of belief and probability.

Data visualization designers and bow tie manufacturers are thriving during the pandemic

I actually think bow ties are getting a big boom because every time I turn on CNN, there's a fucking weirdo doctor... what do they do wear a bow tie. The people who are making the the gifts of like, you know, like the spread of coronavirus the charts. It's got to be off the charts for them right now.

While data visualization (e.g., John Burn-Murdoch's charts) definitely saw a massive boom in traffic and influence, the bow tie boom is more of a humorous anecdotal observation about doctors on TV.

The first blast of air conditioning on a super hot day is a top-tier life victory

the first first time you step inside and feel that blast of air conditioning on a super hot day... it just it feels like heaven just had on washes over you.

Subjective appreciation of comfort.

There is a specific feeling of being in a movie when the perfect song hits at the right time

When you have the perfect song Come On whether it be in the car or when you're walking and you feel like you're in a movie... when that perfect song hits for your mood for the weather for everything and it just feels like you are in the middle of your own movie.

This is a subjective emotional experience.

The 2020 football season will feature the greatest tailgates of all time if fans are allowed

every football tailgate this is probably the greatest thing ever do you think that when we get back but I don't... it just doesn't seem realistic... if we hit the bars and we're like you know what I kind of miss being at home.

The 2020 NFL season mostly occurred with empty or limited-capacity stadiums, meaning the 'greatest tailgates ever' didn't happen until at least 2021 when full crowds returned.
