TMZ's journalistic integrity is solid because they don't get stories wrong

I've always had a pretty good relationship with TMZ. And that's where I get my news, you know? It's not anybody smoke anybody says the TMZ is like tabloid trash because doing there and their journalistic integrity is so solid. Yeah, you know, they don't get anything wrong.

Journalistic integrity is a qualitative judgment, though TMZ is often cited for its speed and accuracy on breaking celebrity deaths.

The Big Ten will announce they are canceling the college football season on Monday

As we're sitting here right now, it feels like the Big Ten is going to announce that they're canceling on Monday. And then who knows what's gonna happen? Like I could still see the SEC being like fuck everyone were playing.

The Big Ten announced the postponement of the fall season on August 11, 2020.

College football would happen if the NCAA paid the athletes and made them employees

This is the one sport where they don't pay their athletes and if they pay their athletes, I actually think it would happen. They wish it'd basically be like, hey, do you want to get paid? Okay... the problem is the NCAA will do everything including cancel a season before they pay their athlete.

This is a subjective labor theory, though history shows the NCAA fought pay until legally forced via NIL.

One in 50 offensive linemen will die from a heart attack during a game

Billy told us a fact that one in 50 offensive linemen will die from a heart attack during a game which I don't know where he got that fact out of his ass literally just said that before the show.

There is no medical or historical data to support that 2% of all offensive linemen die of heart attacks during games.

The genius of Jackass is its wholesomeness and lack of mean-spiritedness toward third parties

There's also finally something I believe actually pretty wholesome about the fact that and there's nothing mean-spirited and what we're doing... we're Reckless or we do terrible things to ourselves and to each other, but we're never cruel to third parties or to anybody else. So, you know, It's weird to say Jackass is wholesome but I think it does apply.

While subjective, this is a widely held view among fans and critics of the franchise's longevity.

I didn't need drugs or alcohol to do stunts because I am just a sober attention whore

I just learned that you take away the drugs and the alcohol from the waste an attention whore and then you get a sober attention whore and that's like really that's all there is to it. I never took painkillers for pain and I never did stunts because I was loaded. I just am an attention whore.

This is a personal characterization of his own motivation.

Any stunt is automatically cooler if the person doing it is on fire

My rule was always like no matter what you do, it's cooler if you're on fire. I was always on fire so that sold out a ton of footage.

This is a subjective artistic preference for stunt design.
