I despise Cavaliers fans but have a kindred love for Browns fans, despite them being the same people

I fucking hate Cavs fans. I like Browns fans. I know they're the same people, and I know that makes me a dumb person... but I truly do despise Cavs fans and have almost like a kindred love for Browns fans.

Steph Curry should get a divorce to become likable again because Americans love a broken person

My advice would be get a divorce. Nobody likes the married guy that's having sex with his hot wife all the time. If you're really good at your job, you get a divorce, you get a lot of sympathy from everybody... get everyone on your side immediately.

This is a satirical PR strategy and not a verifiable claim.

Americans do not like perfect people; they prefer athletes who fuck up like normal people

The bottom line is Americans don't like perfect... so just like make yourself more like us, you know, like get caught taking like sending a nude to somebody or sliding into somebody's DMs. Like be just like the rest of us normal Americans, you know, fucking up a little bit.

I would trade four months of being sick with Zika to win a gold medal for my country

Why is it that big of a deal to get the Zika virus if you're going to get a gold medal? I would trade four months of being sick as a dog to win, not win it for myself, but win it for my country. I would shit through a screen door for four months if it meant that my country got a gold medal.

A personal trade-off preference is entirely subjective.

Never stay for a third night at a Vegas bachelor party

Don't try to coordinate group activities for a Vegas bachelor party if you have more than six guys

If it's anything more than six guys, don't worry about doing anything together because it just won't happen. Every time I've gone to a Vegas bachelor party, it's been like 15 guys. And there are actually people I don't even know were on the bachelor party because I just never saw them.

Check yourself into the hospital to avoid being in trouble with your mom for missing an event

Check yourself into the hospital. Say you got some kind of injury or something. Cause your mom instantly goes from being furious at you for missing her birthday to so worried about you.

Blake Bortles should embrace male pattern baldness to avoid being hated

You need to let it go. Go full male pattern baldness. If you have a quarterback who has beautiful hair and is ascending and a great quarterback, people are going to come and start hating you. If you have a hilarious male pattern baldness, if you look like Larry David and you're an NFL quarterback... who's going to make fun of you?

Millennials are pussies who lack accountability and positivity

NFL players who post workout videos on social media are annoying; just do your job and show it on the field

I will say that all these guys posting videos of themselves working out now, that I disagree with. That, I mean, I draw the line somewhere. Like, duh, you're doing your job. You're working out. The whole world doesn't need to know about it. Rise and grind, yeah. Show me on the football field.

You should tip the maid $5 if you stay at a hotel for more than one night

Laremy Tunsil's stepdad is officially the worst stepdad of all time

If this stepdad really hacked Laremy Tunsil's every account he has, he's by far the worst stepdad of all time. So every other stepdad in relation looks okay.

You can only trust the weather in Chicago between July 4th and Labor Day

San Diego is 'fake life' and not real life

San Diego is fake life. It's not real life. There's nothing real about San Diego. There are no fat people. I'm pretty sure no one has a job except if you're in the Navy. It's beautiful every single day. Everyone's just relaxed and like cool. There's no edge.

The best way to get over a hangover is to drink more

My advice, as always, is Pedialyte. Pedialyte tends to work. But most importantly, my advice is to drink a Bloody Mary and then, like, seven beers afterwards. That's what I did this morning. It worked well.

If you're planning a bachelor party, don't plan any dinners. I've never seen a party go from this was fun to just death. You sit down, you eat, and it's just like, okay, now I just want to go to bed.

The table-jumping trend started because losers of beer pong wanted a way to destroy the table and put an exclamation point on the game

I think that's where it gets started from is, or no, it's probably usually the losers that would just want to destroy the table. You need a strong exclamation point on the game of beer pong, destroying the tables as strong as it gets.

Jordan Spieth is a classier person than Cam Newton because he handled his loss like a professional

Something about Jordan Spieth makes him more likable to me and classier of a person than Cam Newton. ... To be a true professional, you have to be able to face the music. How long do you think postgame press conferences after a loss get compared to Cam Newton?

Whether one athlete is 'classier' than another is entirely a matter of opinion, though the hosts are using it here for comedic effect.

Fireball is an acceptable ballpark drink until September 1st

I like to do airplane minis, like the mini bottles of Fireball... It's kind of like you don't wear white after Labor Day. You don't want to be drinking Fireball after like September 1st. After September 1st, you want to lose the flavored whiskey and get like some Jack Daniels or something because it's about a playoff push. So you got to focus. None of this sugary crap.

Losing a heartbreaker is better than getting blown out because women will console you

I would much rather be on a team that loses by like one point on a half court buzzer beater, because after the game's over, you're a little upset, you're sad, but guess what? There are going to be some chicks around. They're going to want to console you... If you get blown out, like you're even your wife at that point is going to pretend that she doesn't know who you are.

To fix your public image after a DUI, enter treatment, disappear for 40 days, and return with an inspirational tweet.

Dating an Instagram model with over 20,000 followers is asking to get cheated on

I also say that if you, if you date somebody who on Instagram has over like 20,000 followers, you're pretty much asking to get cheated on too. Because, because in her mind, the only thing that matters to her is taking a picture of something that's going to get a lot of likes.
