The NFL probably tells referees which teams should win or cover the spread

Number two is the NFL tells [the refs] which team should win or cover which spreads. Which probably not, but maybe sometimes it's happened. And gambling is just going to make this problem worse, by the way. When the outcome of the game is affected, but not the gambling math is yet, the small calls that get messed up, that's going to be something that adds on to all this controversy.

This is a classic sports conspiracy theory that has never been proven, making it inherently subjective/speculative.

The Washington Nationals are a wagon

The Nationals are a wagon. Especially, I saw this fact earlier, when they're wearing those blue... color rush uniforms, they're 20-1.

The Nationals did indeed sweep the Cardinals and went on to win the World Series in 2019.

Bryce Harper should get a World Series ring if the Nationals win one

Bryce Harper should get a World Series ring if we win one. He got this whole thing started. He said, 'I'm here to bring a title back to D.C.' Bryce Harper, we're doing it for you.

Harper did not receive a ring, nor would he realistically be eligible, as he was on a different team.

LeBron James' statement on China was so bad he could have claimed it was 'Opposite Day' 10 minutes later

He actually – it was such a bad statement that if he had come back and 10 minutes later been like not or like opposite day, he would have been good. He would have been good if he was like everything I said, that was a joke. I meant the opposite of that.

This is a subjective opinion on the quality of a PR statement.

The Rays are playing an exciting brand of baseball

It's a very, very exciting brand of baseball. And I'm gonna miss it when it's over. So I did not wanna sweep, so thank you.

This is a subjective assessment of style and cannot be definitively judged.

The Cowboys are a bad football team

The Cowboys are a bad football team. And I can't wait for people to start to say like, this is when, look at the schedule. Dallas is gonna put some wins together.

The quality of a team is partly evaluative, though the season's playoff result could test the narrower claim that Dallas is not a serious championship threat.

Performance-enhancing drug shortages may explain dominant teams falling off

There started to be severe, severe supply chain issues when it came to performance enhancing drugs and peptide shipments coming to the United States. I just think it's interesting.

This speculative causal theory is not established by the transcript or otherwise verifiable from the available context.
