Telescopes are just an optical illusion and don't actually get you closer

So if you reflect things enough, eventually they get really close. ... It actually gets you closer because that's the only thing that you can see. So it's an optical illusion. So you think that you're closer because it's all that your eye has in its vision.

Fact Claim Life ScorchingSarcastic

Telescopes use lenses and mirrors to physically magnify light and bring distant objects into focus; it is not merely an optical illusion of blocking out peripheral vision.

Bill O'Brien should be known as the 'QB Yeller' rather than the 'QB Whisperer.'

Bill O'Brien we have officially taken away his QB whisperer name. He is no longer the QB... how did he get that title? He was the QB yeller because he screamed at Tom Brady that one time and everyone was like 'wow this guy's not afraid to stand up to Tom Brady so he must be a good coach.'

Opinion Football Medium

O'Brien's tenure in Houston was marked by inconsistent quarterback play and he was eventually fired after a series of poor personnel decisions.

J.J. Watt will catch at least two touchdowns against the Bengals

My prediction is J.J. Watt scores two touchdowns because the Texans have three tight ends that all have concussions. So J.J. Watt's going to catch some balls tonight.
