The West Wing convinced a generation of people that political compromise is the way to solve everything

The West Wing... you kind of convinced a generation of nerds that got into politics that compromise would be the way to solve everything. [Lowe responds]: The movie version, it never really works out in the real world.

The 'West Wing effect' is a well-documented phenomenon in political science regarding public perception of governance.

The Browns are going to win the Super Bowl

I don't know if I am just still feeling the high of a Liev Schreiber narrated slow-mo. But I think the Browns are going to win the Super Bowl.

The 2018 Cleveland Browns went 7-8-1 and did not make the playoffs, let alone win the Super Bowl.

The Browns season of Hard Knocks was better than the Rex Ryan Jets season

Listen, this is the best season of Hard Knocks. This was better than the Rex Ryan season.

This is a subjective opinion about the quality of a television show.

I've never been more confident in the Khalil Mack trade than I am seeing Hue Jackson dislike it

I've never felt more confident in the Khalil Mack trade than I did when Hue Jackson saw the news and was like, oh, that's a lot. That's too many draft picks.

The trade was widely considered a success for the Bears in the short term as Mack helped them to an NFC North title in 2018.

Hollywood actors in Marvel movies use a 'Marvel doctor' for HGH

I want to be in [a Marvel movie] just so I can meet their 'doctor feel good'. I want an excuse to have Elvis' bag man come in and hook me up. Because my man, Kumail Nanjiani... I see him in Eternals. And I'm like, 'whatever's going on, I want some of that.'

This is a widely speculated industry secret but cannot be definitively 'proven' as fact without medical records.

Magic Johnson doesn't physically write his own tweets

I found out that Magic Johnson does not physically do any of the tweets, which may explain some of it. It's articulated clearly across the room or while he's doing 17 other things as a titan of industry. And then there is a woman whose job is to figure out what he's talking about and make it a tweet.

This has been widely accepted as true by fans and media after this and other similar reports.

The NFL shield logo hat is the dopest hat ever

There's no Team hat is their Championship hat nothing. Other than that NFL hat which by the way, I thought this is the dopest hat I've ever seen because I'd never really seen one other than on a ref.

Purely a matter of personal taste, though the internet largely mocked it.
