Referees and umpires are more entertaining when they stand up for themselves

I like umps that stand up for themselves. I think that we've done umps a disservice recently... I like it when they stand up for themselves, when they have a thing like Country Joe West. It's kind of fun knowing that there's a guy out there who's absolutely not what people paid to watch that thinks that he's what people paid to watch.

Subjective appreciation of entertainment value in sports officiating.

Virginia will beat Auburn by a lot

I like Bruce [Pearl]. I think that they're going to get beat by UVA. By a lot, I think. I think that UVA is a very, very, very, very, very good team with a fan base that I really don't want to see win the national championship. But I think they're a much better team, so I think it's going to be UVA.

Virginia won 63-62, so they won but not 'by a lot'.

Texas Tech will beat Michigan State because Tom Izzo is overrated

I am going to go with Texas Tech... Based on Tom Izzo being overrated. So I'm taking Texas Tech. Also, their defense is really, really good. Admittedly, I've watched one of their conference tournament games, and then I've watched them every game in the NCAA tournament, and their defense is fucking awesome.

Texas Tech defeated Michigan State in the Final Four.

The Cleveland Browns are going to the Super Bowl and they will win

When they got Odell, I called every one of my friends and said, we're going to the Super Bowl. There's no doubt... They're going to the Super Bowl and they will win. I am not dangerous. I woke up this morning and I felt dangerous, just like Baker Mayfield does every day.

The 2019 Browns finished 6-10 and missed the playoffs.

Augusta National likely set up Mark Calcavecchia to get caught with a cell phone to prove they still have authority

My theory is that they talked to... a behind the scenes situation where they said, we getting a lot of shit. People are saying that we still don't have it, so we're gonna throw your ass out if you're okay with just saying that he had a cell phone. So I think it might be a setup.

While purely speculative, Augusta is known for extreme measures to maintain its cell phone ban; however, there is no evidence this specific incident was a 'setup' for PR.

I can shoot a 110 at Augusta National

I actually don't think that what I said was that stupid. You said you could shoot 110. I think I could shoot 109. I could break 110. I'm not saying I would do it every time. I don't think so. I think I could do it.

The difficulty of Augusta is legendary. Most amateur golfers, including PFT based on his self-reported 87 on a par 70, would likely struggle to break 120 or 130 on a tournament-ready Augusta setup.

Everyone should be able to break 150 at Augusta National

It was more so the people that were like, dude, you can break 150. I think everybody, everyone here should be able to break 150 at Augusta.

150 is a very high score (over 8 strokes per hole). Most athletic people could likely manage this if they just advanced the ball, but greens might cause issues.
