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.

Steve Ballmer is definitely the guy at a bachelor party who over-plans every single detail

Steve Ballmer is definitely the dude on a bachelor party who overplans every detail. It's like, alright, we're going to go fucking play some golf... 8 a.m. We're going to go to a nice, awesome lunch spot that I found. Then I rented a boat. Then we got a dinner. It's like, dude, we just want to fucking get drunk. Stop planning everything.

This is a subjective character assessment based on public persona.

The NHL is partially responsible for Tom Wilson's behavior because they removed goons from the game

It's kind of, in a weird way, the NHL's fault for getting fighting and goons out of hockey because Tom Wilson is kind of the apex predator now. Like, if there were still goons, a goon would fuck Tom Wilson up, and it would be taken care of, and he wouldn't be doing this shit. He's a hybrid goon... he knows there's no real repercussions.

This is a long-standing debate in hockey circles regarding the 'unwritten rules' and deterrents.

NHL players should be suspended for the same duration that the player they injured is sidelined

It does feel like an easy way to fix this in hockey is just you're suspended for as long as a guy's injured. Like, that's so easy.

The NHL does not use this rule, and it would be difficult to implement due to varying recovery times and potential 'milking' of injuries.

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 defense is Super Bowl level at this point.

The Packers were the #1 seed but lost at home in the Divisional Round to the 49ers.

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.
