Adrian Peterson is currently better than Le'Veon Bell

[Le'Veon Bell] is the best running back in the NFL? I think Adrian Peterson is still better than he is.

In 2017, Le'Veon Bell was an All-Pro with nearly 2,000 yards from scrimmage, while Peterson was washed and split time between New Orleans and Arizona.

The Steelers are like Michigan football because they count championships won before the Super Bowl era

That's a classic Steelers move to count the championships that you won before the Super Bowl was a thing. I'm saying that's a classic thing to reach back. Well, in 1920, we won the big contest. We call that Michigan football.

The Steelers do officially recognize their pre-Super Bowl history, and Michigan is famously cited for its numerous pre-poll era national titles.

Michigan football counts national championships they won before black people were allowed to play

Michigan football counts all the national championships they won before they let black people play.

While Michigan had black players as early as the 19th century, many of their early claimed titles (1901-1904) occurred during eras of widespread segregation in college sports.

The Patriots are a better team specifically because of Dion Lewis

Actually, the real reason is Dion Lewis. They are 14-0 when [Lewis] plays. [Brady's] a system quarterback, in other words.

The Patriots did have an incredible winning streak when Dion Lewis was active on the roster during this era.

Barstool wouldn't be as big as it is if ESPN hadn't cancelled Barstool Van Talk

I don't think we're like the behemoth if ESPN didn't ironically create a common enemy for all of us to unite against. That is a huge moment. That was the moment that realigned kind of everybody and forced us down the path where it's gonna be us kind of together.

A counterfactual historical take that Dave strongly believes in.

I probably would have left Barstool Sports if sports gambling wasn't legalized.

I didn't think I would stay [at Barstool], I don't know what would've happened with Barstool. I don't know what they would've done with you guys contracts, but I think I probably would've been on my own.

A factual claim about his own mindset at a specific point in time; inherently subjective to his perspective.

Barstool's track record of avoiding offensive content is actually very good considering how much was published without an editor.

I actually think our track record is so good for the amount that we're publishing trying to be funny with no editor. And it's like that I always, it's like you going back to 2010 for one blog when you've got read everything I've ever written. But you just try and make people laugh.

This is a subjective view on the company's editorial history.
