The Orioles orchestrated a power outage to keep Cal Ripken's consecutive games streak alive because he had been in a fight with Kevin Costner.

My conspiracy theory... Cal Ripken, in the middle of his streak, got in a fight with Kevin Costner, wasn't going to be able to play because Kevin Costner was hooking up with his wife, and the Orioles said there was a power outage and canceled the game to keep the streak alive.

This is a famous sports conspiracy that has been denied by Ripken and Costner, but remains a topic of debate for fans.

We are the first of the suckers on Top Shot, but we can still get rich.

I think we're the first of the suckers. So sometimes we can get in and we'll be a little bit sucker, we'll be less suckery than the majority of people, but we're still like the first sucker. I think we can still get rich off this, though, because I bought the most pristine mint condition gift of Alex Caruso blocking James Harden.

Top Shot saw a massive surge in early 2021 followed by a significant decline in value for most 'moments,' making the 'sucker' part quite accurate while the 'getting rich' part became much harder.

I'm going to corner the market on Lou Dort Top Shots and get rich when he wins MVP

My entire investment strategy is to corner the market on Lou Dort. Okay. So I'm putting everyone in the Dortcher chamber. We're going to buy all the L...

Lou Dort did not win MVP in 2021 (Nikola Jokić won), and his Top Shot values eventually crashed along with the rest of the market.

If a guy has cauliflower ears, stay far away from him.

That's the oldest rule in the book. If a guy has cauliflower ears, stay far away.

It's a matter of safety advice rather than a verifiable fact, though cauliflower ear is indeed a common sign of extensive grappling experience.

The Knicks are the greatest team ever assembled and there is absolutely no way they lose the Finals.

I mean The Knicks are the greatest team ever assembled. It's, it's tough to deny. Like they're, they're unstoppable. There's no way they're losing this series. And we should just fast forward to next year.

Pending the result of the 2026 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs.

Jalen Hurts is a 'drama king' compared to Drake Maye

Drake Maye not a drama king. So I, I don't anticipate, you know, the reason it's not, it wasn't the players or the skillset [in Philly], it's just they had drama that they couldn't get over. [Jalen Hurts] by deductive reasoning is a drama king.

The locker room dynamics of the 2025/2026 Eagles are subjective to internal reporting.

The Spurs will win the NBA Finals in six games

Spurs in six... I think the Spurs have to win the first two games, though. I think if they have to go up two, nothing, and then they can get it done.

The outcome of the 2026 NBA Finals between the Spurs and Knicks is currently pending.
