ChapStick is a myth that creates its own dependency

I think ChapStick's a myth, too. Like, I don't believe in ChapStick. I've never put on ChapStick one time in my life, and I've never thought I needed ChapStick. But once you start using it, then your mind tells you, I need more ChapStick.

Opinion Life Medium Subjective

While the physical properties of ChapStick are real, the 'dependency' aspect is a common subjective experience/debate regarding skin moisture.

LeBron James' massive contract will cripple the Cavaliers' long-term future

I think [LeBron James] might have crippled the Cavaliers long term with this deal... The Cavaliers, they've got so much dead money that's going to be hanging around LeBron James' neck in three years. They're going to be lucky to eke out 40 wins in a season.

Prediction Basketball Hot

Incorrect. LeBron left for the Lakers in 2018, and while the Cavs struggled post-LeBron, the contract itself didn't 'cripple' them; they won 51 and 50 games in the following two seasons.

The Warriors window will open in a year and a half and they will be set for the next 5-10 years

This is basically a free agent signing for the Warriors. Like, getting the Cavaliers to commit this much money to [LeBron] right now... So the Warriors are going to be – their window is going to open up in like a year and a half. And then they're going to be set for the next like five, ten years.

Prediction Basketball Medium

The Warriors won the next two NBA titles and remained a dominant force for nearly a decade, fulfilling the 5-10 year window prediction.

The NFL needs to officially suspend Aaron Hernandez immediately

Aaron Hernandez, now convicted of the murder of Odin Lloyd, he's been charged with double homicide. He's being investigated for another shooting. Still not officially suspended by the NFL... We are the Woodward and Bernstein [of this story].

Opinion Football Hot SubjectiveSarcastic

The NFL eventually placed him on the reserve/left squad list, but since he was in prison for life, a formal 'suspension' became a moot point of league semantics.
