Calvin Johnson is officially retired and will not return to the NFL

I do [think he is officially retired]. After the beating that he's taken... I just think he made enough money. And the NFL is getting to a point where people are realizing how brutal it is... I'm sure after watching a year of it, like I did my first year out, he'll realize he wants no part of that.

Calvin Johnson stayed retired and was eventually inducted into the Hall of Fame without ever returning to the field.

The only people to ever make Minnesota cool are Kirby Puckett, Kevin Garnett, and Prince

It's basically the list of people who have made the state of Minnesota cool are like Kirby Puckett, Kevin Garnett, and Prince. That's it.

This is a subjective opinion about the coolness of a state and its celebrities.

The pinnacle of celebrity status is when nobody makes jokes about your death on Twitter

That's when you know you've made it. Like, Prince died. Everyone is really sad... Prince is no jokes. There are no jokes. David Bowie was the same way. You don't do jokes when Prince dies. So that's really, like, the pinnacle of celebrity is people don't joke about your death.

The immediate reaction to Prince's death was indeed widely somber, though social media humor eventually touches everything.

Skip Bayless and Curt Schilling are 'bad guys' that sports fans actually need in their lives

You want Skip [Bayless] in your life. Like, you're complaining about him. He's the bad guy. He's like Tony Montana walking through that restaurant, right? You have to have somebody that you point at that's got the shittiest takes that you almost... that you love to hate.

Subjective opinion on media consumption habits.

Breeding Maine Coon cats is a $4,000-per-kitten business

We got this new cat. They call it a Maine coon. ... We're looking to breed. ... [The market is] 3,500, 4 grand a piece. ... 10 years outta the league, it's time to move on and make some money.

Maine Coon kittens from reputable breeders in the US typically cost between $1,500 and $4,000, making his estimate accurate for high-end breeding.

Josh McDaniels is a terrible head coach who won't be successful

Not a fan. ... He implemented the Patriot Way though... Overnight you've got 'do your job' written on every wall... It was just kind of awkward from the start.

McDaniels was fired from the Raiders in October 2023, just months after this take, finishing with a career 20-33 record as a head coach.

All NFL kickers are dorks, with the exception of Matt Prater

[Kickers are] dorks. Huge dorks. [Matt Prater] is not a dork. Matt Prater is a dude.

Positional dorkiness is purely subjective.
