A person can be judged by how they get ketchup out of a Heinz bottle

Basically, [Paul Alexander] decides that a player can be judged by how they get the ketchup out of their Heinz 57 ketchup bottle... 'When I see a large football player turn a bottle of ketchup upside down and pound at its heel with tremendous force yet with limited success, I immediately make the mental note he must either play defensive line or if he plays offensive line, he can't play for me.'

This is a subjective personality/intellect test used by a coach; its validity as a performance predictor is unprovable.

Todd Haley and Baker Mayfield on Hard Knocks will be incredible television

Todd Haley dealing with Baker Mayfield, that's going to be incredible. There's definitely going to be a scene where Todd Haley's walking Baker through the playbook, and he's like, okay, so here's our basic formation. He clicks the slide. Oh, that's a picture of my wife's tits. Sorry, I don't know how that got in there.

The 2018 Browns Hard Knocks is widely considered one of the best seasons of the show, featuring the dysfunctional Haley/Jackson dynamic and Mayfield's rookie camp.

Outside of the Bears, the Bills and Browns are the two teams I most want to be good

I think that I mean, obviously, I want the Bears to be good again. But like after the Bears, it's like the Bills and the Browns. Those are the two teams that I would like to be good again, you know, or good period.

Personal fan preference is subjective.

The Rockets winning a game doesn't mean the series with the Warriors is competitive

The Rockets have made it a series, although I don't think it's a series... They looked so sloppy and like, we don't really care [the Warriors].

The series actually went to 7 games, so it was much more of a series than Big Cat suggested.

Shohei Ohtani currently holds both MLB's longest active on-base streak AND longest active scoreless innings streak simultaneously

As of Wednesday, with Shohei Ohtani getting on base and throwing six scoreless innings today, MLB's longest active on-base streak is now up to 43 games. MLB's longest active scoreless innings streak among starting pitchers is now 28.2 innings pitched. Shohei Ohtani has both of them. That's insane.

Big Cat self-corrects noting the scoreless innings streak ended that day, but the 43-game on-base streak was accurate as stated. The core claim about Ohtani's dual dominance was real at the time.

Chet Holmgren has never been anything but a one-seed in his entire basketball career

Do you know that Chet Holmgren in his entire basketball career has never been anything but a one seed while playing? In high school at Minnehaha Academy 2018, one seed; 2019, one seed; 2021, one seed; Gonzaga 2022, he was a one seed; 2023 he missed the NBA season with an injury; and then 2024, 2025, and now this year with the Oklahoma City Thunder, one seed, every single team he's played for has been a one seed.

This checks out — Holmgren's teams have consistently been one seeds throughout his career. The OKC Thunder were indeed a one seed in 2026.

Nikola Jokic holds the fastest triple double in NBA history at 14 minutes and 33 seconds

Jokic holds the record for fastest triple double in NBA history, achieving the feat in just 14 minutes and 33 seconds. The previous record was 17 minutes in 1955.

This stat appears to be AI-generated and potentially inaccurate — the fastest triple double records are hard to verify precisely, and the '1955' comparison seems dubious. Marking as pending since this is a specific verifiable claim that's hard to confirm.
