John Wall playing cards during an interview is more disrespectful than what Jeffrey Toobin did

I don't know that I agree with that because I think that when he [John Wall] know I don't... he was saying that the two guys that were doing the interview? I'm gonna fucking beat you guys and I can do what I want... jacking off on a zoom call work bad got moderately bad playing Spades during an interview with field Yates. Death penalty.

This is purely subjective moral reasoning from the mind of Mike Portnoy.

The NFC East will win a playoff game this year

I guarantee I'm here's my stamp. The NFC East I think is going to win a playoff game this year. There's going to be some shitty team that fucks it all up stumbles into the playoffs... and they're going to win by like one score maybe like three points in that early Saturday time slot.

The Washington Football Team (7-9) won the NFC East but lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round. No team from the division won a playoff game.

The Browns will beat the Bengals because they'll run for over 200 yards

I think the Browns are going to smoke the Bengals because I think they're just going to run the ball... the last time these two teams played the Browns were able to run the ball I think like 250 yards. So I would imagine it's going to be... if Baker Mayfield doesn't have to throw more than 20 times... I think the Browns can have some success.

The Browns beat the Bengals 37-34, but they only rushed for 82 yards. Baker Mayfield actually threw the ball 28 times, which contradicts the logic of the take despite the win.

The Washington Football Team will win against the Dallas Cowboys

I think they're going to win this game, by the way... I think the Cowboys are that bad. And again the Cowboys is never a good sign when the Boys players say we wanted to keep this all in-house but our coaches suck.

Washington beat the Cowboys 25-3.

Late-night TV news commercials for products like CarShield are frauds

When I see them up there, those products are fraud... I mean, they wouldn't be advertising there if they weren't a fraud. I have an occasional check with the FTC site and the Better Business Bureau to see various of these companies have all sorts of consumer complaints against them. And what a shock!

CarShield and similar companies have indeed faced numerous complaints and legal actions from the FTC regarding deceptive advertising and service denials.

If a commercial starts by saying 'this is not a scam,' it's probably a scam

When they started with the reverse mortgages... the ad started with a sentence: 'This is not a scam.' I mean, that was the furthest thing from my mind until he put it in my head that this might be a scam. Why are they saying it's legit? It never occurred to me that it's not, but now I'm going to start to investigate it.

While logically sound in terms of consumer skepticism, it remains an opinion on marketing rhetoric.

The New York Times was desperate for Alex Cooper to say something negative about Barstool Sports

It was obvious to me... that the New York Times was salivating to get [Alex Cooper] to say something that would be damaging to Barstool. And she didn't. They couldn't resist getting [the sidebar about Dave Portnoy] in there.
