Adam Morrison has an apocalypse bunker and is fully equipped for the end of the world

The guy is fully equipped if there was an apocalypse. He's got food stashed in the way, everything. So he could survive anything. He's got guns... He's got a bunker, everything. He's a pro.

Adam Morrison later clarified on the show that he does have survivalist interests and supplies, but the 'bunker' part was somewhat exaggerated myth-making.

Danny Woodhead will join the Patriots to mentor Christian McCaffrey

Until the end of the league year, [Danny Woodhead] is still a Charger. And then he'll be a Patriot where he'll mentor Christian McCaffrey.

Woodhead joined the Ravens in 2017, and McCaffrey was drafted by the Panthers. Neither ended up on the Patriots in 2017.

Benchining a player for being too fat isn't discrimination if they were already heavy when they signed

They accepted [Pablo Sandoval] as being a loud ass when they signed him. He was heavy. So they didn't discriminate in the beginning. And so they will accept him the way he was, but it turned out that he couldn't hit his weight.

This is a subjective interpretation of labor law and discrimination in professional sports.

Rory would NOT have held on at Augusta this year if he hadn't won last year

No, I don't think he would've. I think there's a freedom of — and he said it Saturday — like, 'I gotta remind myself that I'm still tied for the lead and I have a green jacket.' And I think if he had to, knowing it's Scotty and it's a one shot lead and he's never won here and he's trying to finish a career grand slam — no. And that's not a knock on him, that's just an acknowledgement of how heavy the weight would've been if he didn't win last year.

This is inherently a counterfactual opinion about Rory's psychology — can't be definitively verified.

Scottie Scheffler will end up with more career majors than Rory McIlroy

Scotty just has more runway. If he's six years younger, so that's 24 more majors. I'll take Scottie. I'm just trying to be hot take Scottie. Late night hot take Scottie.

Both players are active and in their prime in 2026.

Rory McIlroy's Masters win was primarily 100% relief

It was almost all relief. And the thing that Andy North described to me... you feel so much more relief than joy... it was so obvious that sure there's joy in there... but clearly it was like, just thank God I did it.

Rory himself later admitted it was a burden, supporting this view.
