The Bears signed Mike Glennon and Mark Sanchez specifically as a 'buffer' so they wouldn't have to sign Colin Kaepernick.

The Bears basically gave themselves a buffer against Colin Kaepernick. They're like, if we sign enough mediocre quarterbacks, no one can say, hey, the Bears should have signed Colin Kaepernick.

Subjective strategy analysis, though many analysts at the time shared the view that teams were over-stocking mediocrity to avoid the Kaepernick PR circus.

The sun is a total fraud and completely overrated.

Basically, what I've discovered is that the sun is overrated. Fraud. Hot fraud. Cold fraud. The sun is flat. Everybody knows it.

The sun is objectively not flat and is generally considered essential for life, making the 'fraud' label factually incorrect but comedically great.

Laughter is a universal language that predates spoken word.

How is how does everyone have laugh and as like the universal, like we're having fun. ... You speak Portuguese, you speak, you know, whatever, Taiwanese or whatever, but you both laugh when you're having fun? ... I think laughter came before language, I believe.

This is a subject of actual scientific debate, but generally accepted that non-verbal vocalizations like laughter are evolutionarily older than complex syntax.

I would give away five to ten years of my life to guarantee Wi-Fi on every plane flight.

Nothing worse in the world than being on a plane with no Wi-Fi and no TVs. I would give away five to ten years of my life to make sure that I had Wi-Fi on a plane all the time.

Subjective value judgment on the worth of one's own lifespan vs. internet access.
