Half-Baked Idea: A traffic app that gives you directions in the local city's accent

When you go to a city, a traffic app that gives you directions in that city's accent... you go to Chicago and you get a little bit of, 'you go left on the Dan Ryan Expressway.'

While Waze has custom voices, a native localized-accent-only app hasn't become a standard market leader.

Getting an honorary doctorate makes JJ Watt think he's an actual medical doctor

JJ Watt thinks that getting an honorary doctorate makes him an MD. He's actually a doctor now... He literally thinks that he can go and operate on someone. When he's next on a plane and someone has a stroke or a heart attack, 'Is there a doctor on this plane?' JJ's like, 'Yes, that's me.'

JJ Watt was awarded an honorary doctorate but it does not confer medical credentials.

Sam Hinkie is the 'smoking gun' who tipped off the Ringer about Bryan Colangelo's burner accounts

A Twitter egg tipped off the ringer, which people actually think this is now Sam Hinkie that tipped him off. I think it is... Sam Hinkie definitely has a smoking gun here, right?

While never definitively proven, investigative reports later suggested the tip came from a person using data analysis techniques, but Hinkie denied involvement. The burners themselves were eventually linked to Colangelo's wife.

A Sixers insider created the burner accounts to get Bryan Colangelo fired so LeBron James would sign

I think someone inside the Sixers organization created these accounts to get rid of Bryan Colangelo so that LeBron would come to the Sixers... I think someone in the Sixers organization did it so that they could fire him, and LeBron would be like, 'All right, that asshole's gone. I'm coming to the Sixers.'

Investigation found the accounts were linked to Colangelo's wife, though he ultimately resigned.

Jalen Hurts has surpassed Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen in quarterback rankings.

Jalen Hurts has to be talked about in the same way as the top couple quarterbacks in this league. He surpasses Joe Burrow, he surpasses Lamar Jackson, he surpasses Josh Allen. Not only did he do it, the stats were there to back it up and the hardware is there in the form of an MVP and the Lombardi.

The ranking of QBs is subjective and varies by analyst.

The Eagles' 2017 Super Bowl win is like a delicious bag of heroin that Philly will never taste again

In some ways it makes the Super Bowl that we won five years ago, just a fucking delicious bag of heroin that we tasted once that we'll never be able to taste again. That we're just chasing after in this, this hellish like riddle that we're just living in.

This is a subjective emotional state common to sports fans after a major loss.

This Super Bowl loss will shape who I am as a person and how I see the world

This is a kind of loss that starts to shape who you are as a person and like how you see the world and how you feel about yourself... there's no touching the fucking depths of that emotion. It's so shitty.

Deeply personal and subjective reflection on fandom.
