Conor McGregor's frustration with the UFC stems from WME buying the company after he was the one driving the business

I think [Conor McGregor] was just frustrated because, when WME bought the UFC for a real number, he was the one who was really driving the business. So he was a little frustrated that guys were buying in and making money, but it was an investment opportunity.

While based on insider knowledge, McGregor's internal motivations and financial frustrations are Wahlberg's interpretation.

Chet Holmgren should spend his injury year getting 'dummy thicc'

If I'm Chet Holmgren, I'm spending this year, like doctor's orders. You can't go on the treadmill. You can't go on the elliptical. No Peloton, no stair climber, just get dummy [thicc] Chet. Just get fat, Chet. You'll be a better basketball player.

Chet Holmgren eventually returned for the 2023-2024 season looking stronger and had a great rookie campaign, though he didn't literally 'get fat'.

McLaren is dead to me for dumping Daniel Ricciardo

Danny Ricciardo got dumped by McLaren. McLaren is dead to me now. I hate them. I always hated them, but now I really hate them. Kind of fucked up.

Fandom and personal hatred for a sports team are subjective.

Week Zero should always feature at least one ranked team to feel meaningful

What they should do is there should be one matchup every week zero where one of the teams is ranked number 25 in the nation. Just put a ranking next to it. I don't care... just like put those little numbers next to one of the team's names to make me feel like I'm not completely wasting my Saturday.

Week Zero scheduling remains inconsistent, but top-ranked teams occasionally play (e.g., FSU in 2024), though not by mandate.

I wouldn't give up watching football even to double my net worth

[Speaker 4]: Would you double your net worth if it meant that you were no longer allowed to watch NFL football? [Wahlberg]: No, I don't think so. I don't think it distracts me or it takes away from what I'm doing in my primary business on my job.

Subjective personal choice.

Tom Cruise is the biggest movie star in the history of film

I got to tell you, Tom cruise is probably the biggest movie star in the history of film. One of them, for sure. I know if I could get the chance to work with Tom I'm showing up.

While subjective, Cruise's box office longevity and Top Gun: Maverick's performance make this a very strong argument.

Eli Manning deserves more respect from Giants fans despite being benched

Why are they still playing Eli Manning and benching Blake Bortles? That makes no sense. Eli brought them two championships, even though they were bullshit wins. They count. Eli should get the kind of respect that he deserves from the Giants fans, and all these guys are flipping so quick.

Subjective legacy debate. Eli's relationship with Giants fans remains a polarizing topic between loyalty and production.
