Dodgers fans are fair-weather fans who just jump between whoever is winning in LA

The Dodgers got fair-weather fans. I mean, you talk about guys who will go from the Kings to the Dodgers to the Clippers to the Lakers... it's like enough already.

Fan loyalty is subjective and can't be definitively proven across a whole city.

Jason Witten is clearly over his head and won't have a job at ESPN by the end of the year

I officially, officially feel bad for Jason Witten. He is so clearly over his head... And now I just feel bad because it feels like he's not going to have a job at the end of the year. And this is painful.

Witten finished the 2018 season but was widely criticized and returned to the Cowboys for the 2019 season, effectively ending his initial broadcasting stint after one year.

Trading for Demaryius Thomas makes the Texans a viable playoff contender

I think this actually makes the Texans a viable playoff contender. Well, okay. Three years ago. I want to caveat it by saying everything that I know about Demaryius Thomas, I stopped learning new things about him after the Super Bowl when they won.

The Texans went 11-5 and won the AFC South, though they lost in the Wild Card round to the Colts.

Bill Belichick leaked the Josh Gordon suspension news to find a rat in the organization

Somebody was saying that Bill Belichick smells a rat inside his own nest. And he leaked that information to one person. And he was like, if this makes its way to Ian Rapoport's Twitter account, then I know that it's you, and it breaks my heart, but I know it was you.

This is an unverifiable conspiracy theory, though Belichick is known for strict information control.

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.

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.
