Jim Nantz's wallet toast card was actually a prank on a reporter

So the card is a prank, but he does like his Toast Nantz style... Nantz ordered his special brand of toast... I made sure the reporter saw the card and when he asked about it, I said, well that card has saved me a lot of hours.

The story from golf.com confirms it was an intentional gag by Nantz's assistant.

Mike Florio's idea of the Bengals and Bears sharing a stadium in Chicago is absurd

The Bengals... Could be to partner up in a new Chicagoland stadium. I disagree. That is not the best outcome for the Bengals. No, not at all. Not even close... I feel like Florio didn't, Florio's the problem always. He's, you, you point at he's the reason that, that you would accept a, a new team that you don't care about.

Florio's theory never happened; the teams did not share a stadium in Chicago.

Taylor Swift fans did not invent 'gig tripping'; hippies have been doing it for decades

This is from the article. Gig Tripping Combines travel with music, with people willing to merge vacation plans with a music event... This is literally what hippies have been doing for decades. Decades and decades and decades.

The concept of 'following' a band (Deadheads, Phish phans) is well-documented long before the Eras Tour.

The Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul fight is the start of the 'participation trophy era'

The fight ended. No one won. For the first time, I'm going to say the participation trophy era is real. I think that's my takeaway from this. Like, what did we just watch?

The fight literally ended without a winner, making the 'no one won' part correct. The broader cultural claim is subjective.

House cats are prima donnas that can be easily defeated by any human.

A house cat means that that cat's drinking milk, that cat's sleeping in beds... that cat is fucking total prima donna... I'll fucking strangle a house cat.

Physically, a human significantly outweighs a house cat, though the human would suffer scratches.

A small part of me is afraid of what happens to my identity if the Cubs actually win the World Series.

There's like a 1% of my brain that doesn't fully know what to do if the Cubs actually won the World Series. If they don't win, our identity is still intact. I'm the dog chasing a car and I don't know what I would do if I caught it.

The Cubs did win the World Series in 2016. Big Cat's identity as a 'suffering fan' did indeed change forever.
