LeBron James' Zero Dark 30-23 playoff social media blackout is really stupid
LeBron is so dumb. It's Zero Dark 30-23... Not Zero Dark 23. It's Zero Dark Thirty. So it's the full movie name. Twenty three. And it really goes back to the biggest weakness LeBron has is no one in his circle has like any brain to say, hey, LeBron, this is really fucking stupid.

I think Jeff Fisher might have just saved his own job because you can't really fire a guy when you draft a new quarterback.
Rams GM Les Snead keeps his job because he has great hair and a Hollywood look
Les Snead, the GM for the Rams. I have a theory that he just gets by on his hair. If you've seen his hair, he's got very nice hair... He's got like kind of a Hollywood look. He's got the name... I don't know if he's a good GM anymore. I think he's just getting by with the Les Snead kind of aura that's around him.
Life is too short to have sympathy for any man who has a large penis
The world, life is too short to shed one tear for a guy who's got a big dick. I don't care if it's a homeless guy or an NFL quarterback. If the guy's got a big dick, he doesn't get any of my sympathy.
NFL primetime games in late December are always horrendous
I do know that we will have at least three or four primetime games in like late December that are horrendous because that happens without fail. The Monday night games. There will be a game where Gruden will have to tell out the world that like some awful quarterback is good.

I am on a hot streak of fixing things around the house
In the last year or so, I got hot. I was touching things, and instead of breaking them, I was fixing them... I've even amazed myself. And you know what the key to it is? It's like anything else. When you get a little more confident, I'm willing to take a chance that I won't break what I'm trying to fix.
Internet 'shoe roasts' of team jerseys are ruined because people complain about everything
This is what the internet does. They just release something and then everyone says that's awful... The internet is so cynical all the time... You've got to save good jokes for times when they're worth it... When you start picking out the Detroit Lions gray jerseys, kind of ruins it for everything else.
The Cleveland Indians' Chief Wahoo logo will be on the hot seat this year
We, this show, called the shot that the Indians were going to have a good year and the Chief Wahoo logo was going to be on the hot seat and people were going to all get upset. Well, guess what?

I don't know if you agree with me on this one, I would so much rather see an all-time meltdown than an all-time comeback. An all-time meltdown, especially in golf, when it's just you out there... you're just stuck there sucking worse than anyone has ever sucked.
Jordan Spieth is a classier person than Cam Newton because he handled his loss like a professional
Something about Jordan Spieth makes him more likable to me and classier of a person than Cam Newton. ... To be a true professional, you have to be able to face the music. How long do you think postgame press conferences after a loss get compared to Cam Newton?
Augusta National is where high fives go to die.
It’s where high fives go to die, I would say, because you have the highest concentrated group of white dorky guys... that's your go-to move at a game. You go for the high five. ... at Augusta, people are just throwing out high fives left and right. ... [a guy] went high five, missed it, and just gave the thumbs up. And that was just like the whitest experience that's ever happened.
Tiger Woods will never win another major championship
I'm firmly in the Tiger will never win another Masters or major championship in his life. And I've said that for like four or five years now. I just don't, you can only, your body can only take so many steroids before you become immune to them. So I don't think he was ever going to win another one.
The 2016 Golden State Warriors will win the NBA title and become an all-time team
The Golden State Warriors won their 72nd game last night against the Spurs. So now they are an all-time team. Unless they don't win the title. If they don't win the title, then it really doesn't matter. But we all kind of assume they will win the title. The Spurs will probably give them a great series. They will be an all-time team.
Tyler Summit is the Jackie Robinson of coaches getting their own players pregnant.
The Jackie Robinson of getting a player that you coach pregnant. ... Say what you want about about women's basketball. But I think this is the first time that a head coach has ever gotten one of their players pregnant. ... I don't really know where I'm going with that, except I can tell you that it's never, ever happened in the history of men's basketball. So kind of groundbreaking by him.

We're the first people that we heard say Johnny Manziel would make sense in Denver. And I think we're now proving it. Von Miller and Johnny Manziel getting their act together together.
Rick Reilly does not understand how the internet works
I don't think anyone has understood the internet less than Rick Reilly. He said, Willett's hug of his caddy on the couch in the butler cabin has got to be a vine, doesn't it? So I don't even know if Rick really understands what a vine is. I think he thinks a vine is a meme.
Golf is not a major sport
I don't care if someone shoots the wrong club or if I said the wrong terminology with golf. Golf is not a major sport. It's not one of the four major sports for a reason. If it were a major sport, everyone would watch it.
Golf guys are the biggest suckers in the world when it comes to buying equipment
Golf guys also are the biggest suckers in the world when it comes to equipment. You can never have enough golf equipment if you're a golf guy. You're buying the latest hybrid club, the cleats that are different than the old cleats you had, gloves that are anti-shock resistance. You're wrapping your clubs in different things.
Villanova would beat the Philadelphia 76ers
So yeah, I Villanova, I'd take Villanova over the Sixers.
The Jaguars winning a Super Bowl is a futuristic impossibility

I mean, Tony La Russa, classic baseball man, falling asleep at a red light because he's too drunk. That's just baseball man life.
Hammer the Reds as underdogs this year and you will become a millionaire
Hammer the Reds this year. Hammer the Reds. They will be underdogs many, many times. You throw it on the Reds. You take that $10, put it right there. Probably make yourself $20, $17. Then you keep doing it. And hopefully the Reds never lose and you become a millionaire.
Adam Schefter is feeling the heat from Jay Glazer and Ian Rapoport in the insider market
Schefter needs PR 101 because Schefter went on the Dan Patrick show and he started defending Greg Hardy. We call that the Jay Glazer effect. Jay Glazer's doing sit-downs with everyone. Schefter's feeling a little heat there. No one watches the NFL insider market more than I do. Schefter's feeling a little heat.
The Crying Michael Jordan meme will never die
The reason why the crying MJ meme will never die, and it's very simple, anyone who ever complains about it instantly gets the crying MJ meme on them so it's like it just it's a self-fulfilling you can't stop it.

JJ Watt would be a guy who buys music still in 2016. Right. He spends $9.99 for every album and he's got like a very careful, everything's in like perfect order on his iTunes alphabetized. He's got the album artwork set up and everything.
Opening Day should always be on a Monday so everyone can skip work and get drunk together.

Peanuts are the most underrated ballpark snack and they are actually healthy because they are pure protein.
I'm also a big peanuts guy. I think peanuts are very underrated. I know that also when I eat peanuts, I tell myself they're not, like, unhealthy because, you know, nuts. It's protein. ... Whereas, like, I'll eat a whole bag of peanuts at the park, and I know there's probably 2000 calories and like 17 grams of sodium but that's okay in my head i think it's healthy.
Preseason predictions are worthless and no one should care about them
I love preseason predictions because they're never right. I also love when people say like, oh, here are my preseason predictions so I can just get it on the record. Like anyone gives a fuck. Why would I care what you think? They're never right, and I just don't care.
The Cubs have the best team top-to-bottom in baseball
I do think the Cubs have the best team. And I know that everyone will be like, that's biased. They don't have the best pitching, but I'm talking about top to bottom team.
The rims at the Final Four were so soft I could have shot 50% on them.
I could have shot like 50% on those rims. Those rims, there was a few shots that were laughably like they would, the ball would just kind of like bounce around and just stay on the rim and then go in. It would hit like five pieces of the rim and then just fall in.
I deserve 75% credit for Villanova's NCAA tournament run
I would say I'm going to give myself like 75 percent credit for Nova's run. I don't know if you want to throw, like, 15 to Raleigh Massimino, another 10 to maybe Jay Wright's, like, suits, but 75% is about right for me.
J.J. Watt is rattled because he tweeted at me out of nowhere
Here's why I think and I know that J.J. Watt is rattled. This was a totally unsolicited tweet from him... He just tweets me out of nowhere and he says, I thought we were friends now, man... You don't tell someone to have a great day unless you're, like, rattled.
J.J. Watt could fix his image by doing 'dizzy bat' and falling on his face
He needs to play a round of drunken dizzy bat because you always fall on your face... Not only is he like, okay, he's a regular guy... He also will fall on his face and will laugh about that. And if he can laugh at himself after that, I mean, he's right back in everyone's good graces.
I am officially walking around inside J.J. Watt's brain right now.
I'm, I'm, I'm walking around in J.J. Watt's brain right now. I'm drinking the beers, but that's in J.J. Watt's brain. [I] clogged his brain's toilet right now.
Roy Williams is legitimately smarter about basketball than any sports reporter
As crazy as it is for Roy to be this surly to everyone, especially after a win, he's not wrong. He does know way more about basketball than we do. So when you second guess him on that stuff... in terms of X's and O's, I don't know... he's smarter.
The Saturday Final Four games will go under because players can't shoot in the NRG Stadium dome
I told everyone i think two days ago the unders are going to come in on saturday no one can shoot in the houston [NRG] something or other dome. So take the unders.
Benching Pablo Sandoval for being fat is counterproductive; the team should make him play more to burn calories
Benching him is like the opposite of what you want to do. If I'm a fat guy, if you tell me like, Hey, you're too fat to do your job. So you're just not going to do it anymore. I'm like, uh, like, so what's the catch? I get to just sit and like, hang out in the clubhouse now. If you want to get Pablo Sandoval to lose weight, you make him play like a simulated game, then the real game, then like another simulated game. Like just starve him to death and make him work so hard that he has to lose the weight.
The Crying Jordan meme is essentially a form of blackface
Isn't Crying Jordan meme a blackface in a way? I've never thought about it like that, but I suppose it is... They blackface literally every person who's ever lost any game ever.

Some of my best siblings that were born at the exact same time of me are women, in fact, so I cannot be sexist. I love this reasoning from Landon Donovan... I'm taking this from Landon Donovan, and I'm saying he is, in fact, not sexist. He has a twin sister.
My fantasy baseball strategy is to just draft the consensus best players in the league
If I was picking my fantasy team right now, I'd take Clayton Kershaw, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Chris Sale. Throw in a Cub. I'll take Anthony Rizzo and Chris Bryant. I'll take those guys, too. I don't know if you can find – I mean, that's pretty good drafting on my part.
I'm taking Matt Harvey's man card for getting a bladder infection
Apparently he had a bladder infection, which right off the bat, I'm taking his man card for that because I did not know that guys could get bladder infections. I thought that was only a woman thing. I know that sounds ignorant. But that's kind of what the man cards for is like when you feel scared by your own ignorance, you just got to take the man card.
Matt Harvey can't be trusted in any aspect of his life because he doesn't pee at the right time
Matt Harvey is going to the bathroom when he has to go to the bathroom now everything else that Matt Harvey does you have to question... The fact that he can't control his own bowels means that he can't be trusted in any other aspect of his life. So, yeah, if I'm the Mets, I'm like, this is a big problem. Guy can't pee.
Duke basketball players are the type of guys who get cheated on
Kyrie Irving, if you go to Duke, you're a guy who gets cheated on. That just kind of – that feels like a Duke thing that happens. If Kyrie Irving had gone to North Carolina or Kentucky or Kansas, I don't think he gets cheated on. I just think that Duke is a very – guys who go to Duke get cheated on.
Bet the unders for the Final Four because Houston's NRG Stadium is a very bad shooting stadium
Houston is a very, very bad shooting stadium. Very bad. It's in the big dome, the Reliant Energy Center, whatever the hell it's called. I think it went 7-1 unders last year when they played part of the tournament there.
