Zack Wheeler is likely done for the year with blood clots and the Phillies' season is over

I think [Zack Wheeler] is probably done for the year, which means that the Phillies are probably done. Blood clot sounds bad in his shoulder... everyone for pitching... Yeah. No, I think, I think he's probably done for the year, which is, which means that the Phillies are probably done.

Kevin Stefanski will start Joe Flacco to buy time while Dylan Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders compete for the future

I think what [Kevin Stefanski] is gonna do is start Flacco and then he'll continue to have Gabriel and Sanders kind of like going shot for shot. See, figuring out who the next guy Ups gonna be. Yep. And he's gonna buy himself a couple weeks by having Flacco start.

The Browns actually entered the season with Deshaun Watson as the starter; Flacco was not on the roster to start 2024, and Dylan Gabriel stayed in college for another year.

Matthew Stafford will miss a few games this season due to injury

I think [Matthew Stafford] can start and finish the season, but I think he'll probably miss a couple games inside the season.

Matthew Stafford did not miss significant games in 2025. He had an MVP-caliber season with 4,707 passing yards (1st in NFL), played all or nearly all games, and led the league in yards and TDs.

Fettuccine Alfredo is fake Italian food.

Alfredo's not real Italian. There's no heavy cream in Italian cuisine. Alfredo's fake Italian. He [Rick Pitino] would maybe do a lemon chicken, maybe do a lemon chicken Piccata. But Alfredo... Cacho e pepe, that's Italian. But there's no heavy cream in Italian cuisine.

Whether Alfredo is 'real' Italian is a matter of culinary debate, though it originated in Rome, it is largely considered an American-Italian staple.

The Sixers are a bad team that loses every game Joel Embiid doesn't play

The Sixers suck. The Sixers are a bad team. Embiid's not playing. They lose—the Sixers are back to losing every game that Embiid doesn't play.

The Sixers' record without Embiid is a verifiable fact claim and a subjective assessment of team quality.

My 'dinner simulator' habit of building food orders and not buying them is a sign of good self-control

Instead of going and making myself a snack or making myself food or ordering food, I'll just pull up the apps, Uber Eats... and I'll just like put together an order of what I would order if I were to get something. And then I clear my cart and I go to bed... It's really good self-control.

Subjective self-assessment of his own behavior.
