Jay Glazer 'held the world hostage' with a dud scoop about a player getting COVID

Jay Glazer held the world hostage for 24 hours thinking he was going to break the biggest news ever and then just told us a guy [Brian Allen] got coronavirus. But he was fine. Hundreds of thousands of, I think millions, yeah, millions of people have had coronavirus and he was like, big news coming tomorrow.

The news was indeed Brian Allen of the Rams being the first NFL player to test positive, which most fans felt was over-teased by Glazer.

The NBA Bubble won't feel weird until the conference finals

I actually think it's not going to be that weird to start. But once we get into, like, the conference finals, it's going to be fucking bizarre to have, like, games go on with no fans and just, like, big, big moments happen to, you know, 20 people in the room.

The Bubble atmosphere was widely regarded as bizarre throughout, but the lack of crowd noise in the NBA Finals (Lakers vs Heat) was particularly noted by fans and media.

LeBron James will put 'James Sr.' or 'Father of Three' on the back of his NBA jersey

This would be – it would be so LeBron if he came out with a James Sr. on the back of his jersey... Or just father of three. Very tasteful... Father of – and then Roman numerals probably.

LeBron James chose not to wear a social justice message on his jersey at all, keeping his name 'James' on the back.

Apple purposefully throttles iPhone battery life when a new model is about to be released

My iPhone on Saturday started, like, rapidly losing battery, getting way overheated, and it's been crap the last few days. And then I Googled it because I was like, oh, I should probably get a new one. Oh, weird. iPhone 12 coming out soon. Oh, it's fucking every single time. I don't understand how they're able to get away with this.

Apple has faced multiple lawsuits and fines (e.g., in France and the US) for throttling older iPhones to 'protect batteries', which they settled for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

Tua Tagovailoa's market value is non-existent relative to his contract

Everything's on the table for the Dolphins. Tua could be a fullback. What would you... What do you think the Dolphins would say yes to for a trade for Tua? Like a sixth round pick for Tua? A jugs machine? I don't know what the hell would Tua's market be?

The Dolphins' internal view on 'everything being on the table' is a subjective claim about team strategy.
