If you claim you were hacked after a scandal, you must lean into it with more fake hacks
If you are going to go the hacked route, you have to go farther down the rabbit hole of hacked. So you accidentally snap a picture of your penis, then you accidentally snap a picture of a swastika, then you accidentally snap a picture of like you throwing a rock at a pigeon and then you're like shit I got hacked.
If a fire alarm goes off in a hotel, you don't have to leave unless you actually smell smoke or see someone on fire

The PGA Championship should be a frolf (frisbee golf) tournament to make it more interesting
You make the PGA Championship frolf instead of golf. Just switch it up on them. But all the golfers just now have to play frolf. And they have caddies... Tell me you wouldn't watch a frolf tournament.

Benny Fowler, Daniel Braverman. By the way, he's going to be our new favorite. He's a Bear. And his name is literally he's braver than every other man. [Braverman] and Devontae Adams. All have been catching everything at camp. Catching everything.
Free agent signings coming from Super Bowl teams won't be as good on their new shitty teams
The free agent signing who's maybe coming from a Super Bowl team and he's bringing a winning culture... [is] probably not going to be anywhere near as good as he was with the Super Bowl team because he was surrounded by really good players. And now he's on your shitty team, surrounded by trash.

The White Sox are an embarrassing organization run like a mom-and-pop shop
I think White Sox fans have a level of embarrassment because I think if your organization is having uniform issues and your star pitcher is cutting up uniforms because he doesn't want to wear them, that's embarrassing. It's called Jerry Reinsdorf runs organizations like a mom-and-pop shop, and incompetent people get pay raises and promotions, and no one ever gets fired.

Sports writers would cure cancer if they didn't spend all their time debating Hall of Fame rules
If we took all the brainpower that the sportswriters of America used up thinking about Hall of Fames and rules and who should be in and who shouldn't, we could have cured cancer. We'd be living on Mars... deciding who's valuable enough to be in some stupid museum that we created.
Any twins who share a Twitter account have definitely kissed each other on the lips

'Out of pocket' is the worst office buzzword because nobody knows what it actually means
Number one, I cannot stand when people say out of pocket. I don't even know what that means... See, this is the worst buzzword because no one even knows what it means. So when you say out of pocket, you're an asshole for this. It could also go on the Mount Rushmore of excuses. I'm out of pocket. And then when someone says, I thought you were out of pocket, you had your phone on you, said, no, I'm out of pocket. I don't have my phone. I don't have anything. I'm out of pocket.
It is okay to be late for office cake because everyone is always on a diet
It's OK to be late for the cake because everyone in an office is always on a diet. So when the cake comes out, everyone just wants a small sliver. Just want a little sliver.

Blogging is more harmful to the brain than contact sports because it makes the brain soft
I think blogging is more harmful to your brain than playing football or hockey or any more women's soccer... [Logan Couture]: It might be. I've tried to sit at a computer screen for an hour and I got a headache... [PFT Commenter]: Yeah, because if you play a sport and you're hitting your head, you're building a callus on your brain. When you're a blogger, you have like no contact with anything. So your brain becomes soft. That's my theory, at least.
Robert Griffin III being ranked as a top 5 Redskins QB is an insult since he only played with five

Little tip for everyone out there... If you're under 30 years old, never, ever, ever buy a pair of sunglasses that are more than $50. That's on you, okay? $50. I don't buy a pair unless it's under $15.
LeBron James is delaying signing with the Cavaliers because he doesn't have a printer

Phil Mickelson is the first person with a recessive clutch gene
Phil [Mickelson] has a clutch gene because he's won a championship, but I think he might be the first person with a recessive clutch gene. You know how a redhead... you'll blow the redhead that pops up in your family. He's got the recessive clutch gene because he so often finishes second.
Rory McIlroy's tight shirts and muscle mass are hurting his golf game

Pat Riley is going to die soon because it's taking him 10 days to write a single email
Pat Riley's going to die soon. He's still taking this Dwyane Wade thing pretty hard. And he said Pat hasn't spoken to Dwyane post-decision yet. He said, 'I've been crafting a very long email to him.' He's been writing an email for like 10 days now. I feel like that's the end. When you're just sitting there with an open Word document... Pat Riley's going to die soon.

Next year, it's going to be a live show. I'm actually guaranteeing that right now. I want to do it at Guy Fieri's restaurant, like in the back room.

Stephen A. Smith would have successfully prosecuted O.J. Simpson
I actually don't disagree with Stephen A. Smith here... Because I actually do think he would have been able to put O.J. Simpson in jail. He is so exhausting as an arguer, as a person, that I think that the jury would have just said, 'you know what, just have Stephen A. Smith stop talking and we'll put [Simpson] in jail.'
The MLB All-Star Game should either decide home field with no fan vote, or be a meaningless exhibition, but the current middle ground is the worst of both worlds

The MLB All-Star Game is the best All-Star game in sports
I do think the mlb all-star game is by far the best all-star game there is it's not really close.

Brock Lesnar is the scariest human on Earth
The only other takeaway I had [from UFC 200] was is Brock Lesnar, I think, is the number one scariest human on Earth. The fact that he came back after five years and just demolished Mark Hunt... Brock Lesnar, I think, is my number one scariest man on Earth.
Home Run Derby participants always screw up their swings in the second half of the season
My other favorite part about the Home Run Derby is predicting which one of the participants the Home Run Derby is going to screw up their swing in the second half. Whoever wins.
Women love bad boys and cigarette smokers
