Getting an honorary doctorate makes JJ Watt think he's an actual medical doctor

JJ Watt thinks that getting an honorary doctorate makes him an MD. He's actually a doctor now... He literally thinks that he can go and operate on someone. When he's next on a plane and someone has a stroke or a heart attack, 'Is there a doctor on this plane?' JJ's like, 'Yes, that's me.'

JJ Watt was awarded an honorary doctorate but it does not confer medical credentials.

Sam Hinkie is the 'smoking gun' who tipped off the Ringer about Bryan Colangelo's burner accounts

A Twitter egg tipped off the ringer, which people actually think this is now Sam Hinkie that tipped him off. I think it is... Sam Hinkie definitely has a smoking gun here, right?

While never definitively proven, investigative reports later suggested the tip came from a person using data analysis techniques, but Hinkie denied involvement. The burners themselves were eventually linked to Colangelo's wife.

A Sixers insider created the burner accounts to get Bryan Colangelo fired so LeBron James would sign

I think someone inside the Sixers organization created these accounts to get rid of Bryan Colangelo so that LeBron would come to the Sixers... I think someone in the Sixers organization did it so that they could fire him, and LeBron would be like, 'All right, that asshole's gone. I'm coming to the Sixers.'

Investigation found the accounts were linked to Colangelo's wife, though he ultimately resigned.

The 76ers must fire Bryan Colangelo over the burner account scandal

They gotta fire [Bryan Colangelo], obviously... obviously, the guy is like live tweeting University of Chicago basketball games and getting upset about his collar size. Like, obviously, it's him.

Colangelo resigned/was fired on June 7, 2018, just over a week after this take.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.
