The PMT hosts will eventually break up due to drug addictions and the Twitter checkmark

I can't wait for the behind the scenes, behind the music when we like both develop drug addictions and get into fights and break up with each other. I think that's going to happen sooner rather than later. And the root cause is going to be this [Twitter] checkmark.

The show is still going strong nearly a decade later with the same core hosts, and Twitter verification eventually became a paid service rather than a status symbol.

Shaunae Miller crossed the finish line faster because she dove.

Like, why would you not dive? Right. It doesn't make any sense. Like, she crossed the finish line faster because she dove. David Eckstein... That guy used to dive into first base all the time. Nobody ever said he wasn't fast.

The dive was legal and she did win, so the claim that it made her faster/win is correct in the context of the race result.

Bob Costas is the alpha dog of NBC sports because he lifts in jeans

It was revealed that Costas walked into the weight room with jeans on and just did upper body. I saw it down here. I went to the gym and Bob Costas strolled in in jeans, t-shirt, sneakers, jeans, but he was just doing upper body. That's a savage move. That's a short man move. All chest, no legs.

Broadly subjective, but the gym story became a piece of sports media lore.

Mike Tirico is the best sports announcer to listen to right now

Mike Tirico might be my favorite guy to listen to. It's probably Al Michaels still maybe has it because of who he is and what he's done. But Mike Tirico might be my favorite guy to listen to.

This is a subjective opinion on broadcasting quality.

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
