Signing Aaron Judge to a mega-deal was a mistake

Build around Aaron Judge. ... I don't know if you wanna build around Aaron Judge. He's like 32 isn't he? They just signed him to a mega deal. I know that was a mistake. ... He's gonna be 32 before next season. Okay. Whew. And he's got like 14 years left on his contract.

Judge won the 2024 AL MVP and had an all-time great season, making the 'mistake' label look very early.

The Steelers are my surprise team for the 2023 season

Kenny Pickett. Yes. Two touchdown drives. Diced them up. Diced him up. ... Steelers Look ready to go. Steelers are my surprise team. Yeah. No one's talking about the Steelers. We are.

The Steelers finished 10-7 and made the playoffs as a Wild Card, but they weren't a major 'surprise' contender in the AFC.

Trey Lance sucks and doesn't know how to play football

Trey Lance sucks. Yeah. Well that's, doesn't even know how to play football. ... The one clip of him throwing, just standing there with no pressure while guys were open, feeling pressure that wasn't there, and then mis-throwing it. That was a bad look.

Lance was traded to the Cowboys and remained a backup; his career trajectory currently supports the 'not an NFL-caliber starter' view.

Bijan Robinson is already the best running back of all time

My other one is Bijan Robinson is the best running back of all time. That was a great, great performance by him. That's, he's a clip monster. Everyone's like, look at this. It's just Bijan finding [room].

Bijan had a very good rookie season, but is obviously not the literal greatest running back of all time.

Pigeons are the smartest birds because they live off human trash

Pigeons might be the smartest bird. There is one... they've essentially just over the years been like, Hey, you know where we should live? Right where the people leave their trash. We don't have to hunt for anything. We don't have to go fucking diving for worms and fish... Some guy's going to eat a calzone and not finish it and we're gonna finish it. So pigeons might be the smartest bird.

While funny, avian intelligence is usually measured by tool use (crows) or problem-solving, though urban adaptation is a form of intelligence.

Barry Bonds could still play in the MLB and take a million walks because of fear

I think of that with Barry Bonds for sure. Barry Bonds I like He could just, he, he could show up and just be awesome and, and take like a million walks. 'cause people would fear him.

This is a hypothetical claim about a retired player's current ability, which is fundamentally subjective.

American air conditioning is the equivalent of 'Hunter Biden crack' for European visitors

I would imagine air conditioning for Europeans hits like crack. Like the best crack of all. Oh, hunter Biden crack. Yeah. That's like when we go over to, to Spain and we see a nude beach. Like that's, that, that feeling that we get over there is their feeling when they're walking into one of our buildings over here.

Inherently subjective and hyperbolic comparison.
