The character of Kevin Malone from 'The Office' is a secret genius savant

The basis for this... is that Kevin Malone is a secret genius. He's a gambler... he's an idiot savant. There's a written story that was shot [where] Kevin Malone goes into bars, everybody wants to buy him a drink... he has accumulated such a credit at that bar that he uses that as leverage to own the bar. That is through written story that was shot.

This is a matter of fictional character interpretation and canon, confirmed by the actor himself.

The Packers will win the Super Bowl this year

I'm worried, I think the Packers are actually going to win the Super Bowl this year... I'm saying that they have looked the best team in the NFL this year.

The Packers lost at home to the 49ers in the Divisional Round.

Tiger Woods was transcendent because he displayed raw emotion like a football player on a golf course

What was it about [Tiger Woods] that made him so transcendent... Tiger Woods in that when I was watching Tiger Woods or when I watched Tiger Woods, I want him to dominate. He treated being out on the golf course like you see a football player... He was getting pumped up. He would yell at himself... He was just so different and exciting that it got a lot of people into golf.

Subjective analysis of sports stardom.

Steve Carell is the greatest improviser in the history of entertainment

Steve Carell, I believe, is the greatest improviser maybe in the history of entertainment. Anytime he improvises, it's always on topic. It's always super smart, in character, to the point... never veers in a weird direction.

Subjective opinion on entertainment talent.

The human brain can only master one of three domains: sports, music, or trivia

A person's brain can only do one of those three things: trivia, music information, or sports information... and music I could almost I can sing tunes of which I get about three words out of 20 correct... but sports that's my interest so like that's that's my distraction and my hobby.

This is a personal pseudo-scientific theory, not a biological fact.

The San Francisco 49ers might not actually draft a quarterback with the #3 overall pick

San Francisco is... everything they've done has been very secretive. It's all sort of come out of – it's been a surprise. And now I don't know if they're really going to take him with the third pick... I don't know if they're going to draft a quarterback.

The 49ers did select a quarterback (Trey Lance) with the #3 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
