It is cringeworthy for one adult to use the word 'potty' when talking to another adult

The person who was working the like little cafe... was like, I gotta, I'm putting up this sign. I gotta go to the potty. And it's been in my head since, and I don't like another adult telling another adult I have to go use the potty is the most cringeworthy. Like I can't get outta my head.

The red zone should be called the 'gold zone'

Why does everybody call it the red zone? Why would I wanna stop? I mean you can call it the green zone, but everybody uses that for third down. And if we're talking about money, I want the it's gold zone. I mean, touchdowns give you gold.

Peanut Butter M&Ms are better than regular M&Ms

Our third pick, we're gonna go with peanut butter M&Ms... Easy money in the bank. I would take that over regular M&M actually all day, all day. If somebody handed you a bag of regular M&Ms, and one peanut butter, you're taking peanut butter every time.

Sean Marks is a bad GM because he brought in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving

I kind of agree with Kevin Durant. I think that Sean Marks is a bad GM because he brought Kevin Durant in. So Kevin Durant is right. They should fire him for bringing him in there.

Linebackers have become the running backs of the defense

I think that linebackers have kind of become the running backs of the defense where you don't need to pay a right. You don't need to start. Right. And I, in a way, like I missed the old days where it was, you know, like a linebacker centric league.

This reflects the modern NFL trend of prioritizing pass rushers over off-ball linebackers in salary cap allocation.

Todd Bowles and Mike Zimmer are two of the toughest defensive coaches to play against

I think Todd Bowles has done a good job at that over the years. I think he's a really good coach. What coach Bowles does with the pressure package. Mike Zimmer for a long time was as hard as it came playing against because they had eight up looks... and they had every variation.

The West Coast offense is the most beautiful offense ever created

Too much pre-snap motion makes it hard for a quarterback to manage tempo

I tell Matt [LaFleur] the same thing. I'm not telling you guys anything I wouldn't tell him. I got after him a day because every freaking play there's God motion. I'm like, can we run one play without a motion so we can get some tempo going? Because I like to switch the tempo... when you have so much motion, it's hard to get tempo going because you always gotta make sure you're set.

Sean McDermott is a sleeper pick for a fight because of his wrestling background

This one I think is also pretty obvious, but might not be to the naked eye. It's Sean McDermott. He was a back to back national prep champion wrestler, like all time. Good wrestler had a 61 and oh record surrendering just one take down. You get in a fight, how many people that you fighting know how to wrestle?

Bill Belichick would be an elite fighter because he knows pressure points

Bill Belichick. He's a little older now, but Dalton and Roadhouse where he sees all the angles and he sees a guy with a knife in his boot before the knife comes out. I also feel like he's a big time pressure point guy. He could just walk up to you and you'd faceplant.

Lamar Jackson has a very high ceiling for his sex life because of how weird he is

Lamar is such a fucking weird guy. I can't even fathom how he fucks. Like him being his own agent is weird, but it could be that kind of thing where it's like a weird guy often has either he can't fuck at all. Or he has top shelf Dick. Right? ...

The pitcher-catcher chemistry is overrated; catchers are pros

I think it's ridiculous when guys have to have a certain catcher behind the plate. I think it's stupid. As long as you got a catcher's mitt behind the plate and you've gone over the hitters with me in the pre-game meeting and we're on the same page, I don't give a shit... some of these starting pitchers need to take a step back and maybe take some of the blame...

Jacob deGrom is the best starting pitcher to ever put on a uniform

I've blown the guy for years. I just think he's the best. And I've said this, I think he's the best starting pitcher to ever put the uniform on. If he stays healthy people might think that's crazy. Some people love it. Just watching him live and on TV... he struck out nine out of ten. It's the best shit I've ever seen ever from any pitcher.

While statistically peak deGrom is elite, 'best ever' is a subjective debate versus names like Pedro Martinez, Sandy Koufax, etc.

The Arizona Cardinals leaked Kyler Murray's contract to make him look bad

I think it was more along the lines of, he thinks it's disrespectful that somebody leaked the contract... because it doesn't make anybody look good. It doesn't make the Cardinals look good to be like, oh yeah, we just guaranteed 166 million to a guy that we have to monitor to make sure he is doing his homework every night.

The source of the leak was never officially confirmed, but the Cardinals eventually removed the clause following the backlash, supporting the idea that the leak backfired.
