World Chase Tag is a superior concept to Parkour and should be an Olympic sport

I want a sport where if you tag a guy, there you go. Where there's a winner and there's a loser... It's basically parkour, but with an element of tag. That's an Olympic sport... This sport, this tag sport, is ten times the sport of handball.

Tag is not an Olympic sport, and parkour was not added to the 2024 Paris Olympics (though it was considered).

I will beat Darren Rovell in a mile run

I will beat [Darren Rovell] in a mile, though. He's said anywhere, anytime. So I'm just going to let my back heal up next four or five months, get my core strong. I'm going to show up at his house and just be like, let's go.

Big Cat actually ran the mile against Darren Rovell in 2019 and lost. Big Cat's time was around 7:20 while Rovell ran approximately 6:11.

The Cleveland Browns are going to win the AFC North

I'm just going to lean into my own stupidity and say I think the Browns are going to win the division. I'm with Hank now.

The Browns finished 7-8-1 in 2018, finishing third in the AFC North. The Ravens won the division.

Filling up your gas tank more often for $20 saves you $60 compared to an $80 full tank

You're saving yourself 60 bucks because you're only paying 20. So I think Shaq's right. Yeah. Okay. All right.

Fact ClaimLifeScorchingSarcastic
The math is objectively wrong; you are spending the same amount of money for the same amount of gas over time, just in different increments.

Since pickles are green, a Dilly Dog is basically a salad

No, I like it [Dilly Dog]. You can put anything in a pickle. And guess what? Since pickles are green, it's basically a salad. If you wrap anything in green, boom. Healthy.

Deep-fried hot dogs inside pickles do not meet nutritional criteria for a salad and are high in calories, fats, and sodium.

Bears fans watch football to avoid being nagged, so we should call Matt Nagy 'Nagy' (with a soft A)

The debate is, how do we pronounce [Matt Nagy's] last name? It's technically Nagy, but we're going to go with Nagy... we watch football so that we don't get nagged. I mean, if you want to get nagged, there's women for that, right? ... Don't give me 'Nag-y'. Give me 'Nay-gy'.

The correct pronunciation is indeed 'Nag-y' (rhymes with baggy), so his preferred 'Nay-gy' is factually incorrect but a deliberate choice.

Blake Bortles is a top 5 quarterback in the NFL

Name five better. Go ahead, Hank. Give us your top five quarterbacks right now. Tom Brady, Jared Goff, Blake Bortles, and then the list dramatically falls off after that.

Blake Bortles was never statistically or reputationally a top 5 NFL QB, despite a strong 2017 playoff run.

I would take RGIII over Andrew Luck right now because RGIII is healthy

I would take RGIII. He's not injured right now. He has a clean bill of health, and he's got Greta. [Andrew Luck]... Jim Irsay made a comment to me about six weeks ago that it's inside his own head. I'm going to trust Jim Irsay on all matters related to mental health.

OpinionFootballHotSarcastic
Andrew Luck returned in 2018 to win Comeback Player of the Year, whereas RGIII never became a full-time starter again. Luck was the superior player despite the injuries.

Four days is the maximum amount of rest a team can have before becoming rusty

Four days rest is right before you get that rust. So the Cavs are going to be very rusty. I think they've been off for like nine days.

The Cavs had 9 days of rest and proceeded to blow out the Celtics by 13 points in Game 1, showing no signs of rust.

Colin Kaepernick is being blackballed because his name is too difficult to spell

I actually think Colin Kaepernick's getting blackballed because his last name's annoying to spell. The whole A before E thing is very problematic. I mean, I always say cap because I don't want to spell it out and be wrong. So teams are probably like, you know what? We don't want all of our fans on Twitter to look like idiot fans by misspelling the quarterback's name.

Hot TakeFootballFireSarcastic
This is a satirical take; the blackballing was clearly due to his national anthem protest.
