In 50 years, Michael Phelps will look like an old-fashioned offense as swimmers evolve into creatures with pool-length arms and tiny torsos
In like 50 years, we're going to look back at Michael Phelps the way that we look at the old Notre Dame offenses in football where they just run the ball straight forward. It'll just be a guy that's got arms that are the length of the pool and like a tiny little torso, and you'll dive in, and you just slap both sides back and forth.
The uncatchable ball rule should be determined by the receiver; if it is Ted Ginn, 90% of passes should be considered uncatchable
Shouldn't an uncatchable ball, shouldn't that rule be determined on who the wide receiver is in question? If it's Ted Ginn, shouldn't 90% of them be uncatchable?
Ryan Lochte should lean into his gas station incident by getting a gun sponsorship
If I'm Lochte, I think it's pretty simple actually. If I'm Lochte, I get sponsored by a gun company because you're not going to get held up if you've got a gun. I've got like some catchphrases already... Lochte and loaded.

After the loss against Serbia earlier this week, I know it was a win, but I'm going to call it a loss. I think that counts as a loss. That was a statement lost by us.
Giancarlo Stanton's season-ending injury is definitive proof of the Home Run Derby curse
He had the home run derby curse... so we actually predicted this. Not to brag, but we called it. Like a month ago, we said whoever's going to win is going to be out for the rest of the season. So sometimes it's tough to keep track of how right we are all the time.
LeBron James' massive contract will cripple the Cavaliers' long-term future
I think [LeBron James] might have crippled the Cavaliers long term with this deal... The Cavaliers, they've got so much dead money that's going to be hanging around LeBron James' neck in three years. They're going to be lucky to eke out 40 wins in a season.
The Warriors window will open in a year and a half and they will be set for the next 5-10 years
This is basically a free agent signing for the Warriors. Like, getting the Cavaliers to commit this much money to [LeBron] right now... So the Warriors are going to be – their window is going to open up in like a year and a half. And then they're going to be set for the next like five, ten years.
The NFL needs to officially suspend Aaron Hernandez immediately
Aaron Hernandez, now convicted of the murder of Odin Lloyd, he's been charged with double homicide. He's being investigated for another shooting. Still not officially suspended by the NFL... We are the Woodward and Bernstein [of this story].
The years AD 614 to 911 did not actually happen
The phantom time hypothesis. So there are a bunch of people out there that truly believe that the years AD 614 to 911 didn't happen... They were all made up by the church. So like that's 300 years of human history that we just were taught about, but they don't happen.
Bobby Petrino coaches every game with a waistband-tucked boner
I've got a theory that Bobby Petrino coaches every single game doing a waistband tuck... He's got full erection. Every conference game, he's got a full erection. Just keep an eye on that for maybe a little cherry poking out of the top.

I always love it when our Olympians have a good cry... I would say that and maybe after you lose your virginity is the only acceptable time where a man can cry.
Tim Tebow is like a six-year-old because he hasn't sucked enough at any job to rule it out as a possibility
[Tebow] is basically like a six-year-old. He's just like, I want to be a professional football player... I want to be a baseball player. And he's going to get the chance to do that. So it's like when you're six years old... you can say like an astronaut because you haven't proved that you're incompetent at anything. The best thing that you can say about Tim Tebow is that he doesn't suck enough at anything where any job is really out of the remote possibility for him.

Cal Ripken Jr. probably used a lot of steroids.
Mount Rushmore of steroid users. Cal Ripken Jr. He's number one. People didn't know that. Probably used a lot of steroids.
The Hall of Fame game cancellation was a conspiracy to force viewers to watch the Olympics.
The Olympics, tonight was supposed to be their big night. They needed the ratings... NBC, their president is a guy named Steve Burke. Steve Burke just happens to be a former Disney executive. Maybe he called in a favor... [the painter] is probably the easiest person in the world to pay off.
Bob Costas was a better Olympic broadcaster when he had pink eye.
My big thing is I miss pink eye Bob Costas. It's not the same with him with two functional eyeballs out there. I miss it. I miss it. He was so good when he was playing hurt. I actually think he was better when he only had one eye.
Queso and guacamole both qualify as sauces or condiments.
Number two, queso. Oh, man, that's cheating... obviously queso. No, it's also a condiment. You can put queso on a steak... you can put queso on a sandwich. Number three is salsa. Number three is guacamole. You can get it on a sub.
Vladimir Putin's decision to dope the Paralympic team shows an admirable commitment to winning.
I almost respect that. Like I'm now kind of on Putin's side. If you're going to the extreme lengths of taking your most vulnerable citizens and saying, we're going to pump you up with horse steroids, that's at least a commitment to winning.
Jim Furyk's 58 deserves an asterisk because he didn't even win the tournament.
I was about to say, like, shouldn't there be an asterisk on his round? It absolutely is. I mean, it happens all the time. So I guess good for Furyk. But like at the end of the day, you know, you don't get a trophy because he shot a 58.

Robert Griffin III driving a 1992 Volkswagen to practice is a major try-hard move
Robert Griffin III rolled up to practice in a 1992 Volkswagen today... I thought it would be someone who actually still owned an old car, not someone that went out and borrowed a friend's old car just so that people would write stories about him driving to practice. It makes Robert Griffin seem like a real try-hard.

I don't think Arnold Palmer was ever actually good. Have you seen that guy swing? Swings like my grandpa. I would kill that guy.

Tony Montana is a top-tier bad guy, even though I've never seen 'Scarface'
