Joey Bosa likely has a gambling problem because he is demanding his signing bonus money immediately
Just knee jerk here. Gambler to gambler. Sounds like Joey Bosa has a gambling problem. Like I need that money now, man. I need it right now. Like that's he thinks that he's being, you know, sly here. But as a gambler, I can see what he's doing. He's clearly got some big debts he needs to pay.
The Ryan brothers are the 'original feminists' because Rob Ryan carries weight like a pregnant woman
Is Rob Ryan the original feminist? I mean, he's pregnant, basically. He has to walk around with that weight, right? He's got that belly. I think he's in a hat tip to all the women out there who have gone through childbirth and the beautiful child thing that is childbirth. Rob stands with you.
Pigs in a blanket are the best finger food and appetizer available
I also think that pigs in a blanket get a bad rap. I think people try to be really classy at their weddings these days and they don't do pigs in a blanket. We need to like rebrand pigs in a blanket to bring them back because they're the best finger food and appetizer out there.

Rio's Olympic infrastructure will be well-maintained and beneficial for decades

The number one lie in sports is a coach claiming they aren't interviewing for other jobs

Robert Griffin III getting his new girlfriend's name tattooed on his arm is a massive mistake

Bob Costas is the alpha dog of NBC sports because he lifts in jeans
It was revealed that Costas walked into the weight room with jeans on and just did upper body. I saw it down here. I went to the gym and Bob Costas strolled in in jeans, t-shirt, sneakers, jeans, but he was just doing upper body. That's a savage move. That's a short man move. All chest, no legs.

Josh McCown is the perfect backup quarterback
Josh McCown is the perfect backup quarterback. Because he doesn't rock the boat. He's just good enough to maybe show a little flash here and there. But then if you have to have him play more than a couple games, you're like, okay. He looks good in a set of front pleated khakis.
If you give a gorilla enough time, they will cradle and protect a human baby.
20 year anniversary for the Brookfield Zoo, a small toddler fell into the zoo and the gorilla Binti Jua saved the toddler's life, nursed it, cuddled it, made sure that it was safe.

But it was a great performance. Michael Phelps, all-time best Olympic champion. I think we can safely say that, right?
Olympic swimming is a fringe sport that doesn't deserve the level of excitement it receives from announcers

Any adult male with no wife or kids who is a 'gymnastics enthusiast' is a 'pre-crime' suspect
I feel like there's just always like a few creepy dudes hanging around the gymnast. If you're a gymnastics enthusiast and that's where the line stops, like you have no personal connection to the sport, you just really like it. Maybe just watch on TV. No wife, no kids. But you do love your women's gymnastics. That's what we call a little pre-crime.

Mark Teixeira is one of the most forgettable great players of all time.
Mark Teixeira, I think, goes down as the most forgettable great player ever. Like one of the most forgettable great players of all time. He has over 400 home runs. He was great at first base. He won a title. And do you think there is a single Mark Teixeira fan out there?

The US Basketball team should just say they were 'guys being dudes' to explain accidentally walking into a Brazilian brothel.
If the USA team wants to keep all their fans, they just say, listen, we're just guys being dudes. Finally a place where guys can go to a bar by themselves, not be hassled by women. We found it. The only spa in all of Rio de Janeiro that only allows men. And then, whoops, turns out it was a bunch of prostitutes there.
Jim Furyk probably has a secret second family that he has been hiding for years.
I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Furyk has like a second family that pops up soon...
