A personal family physician should not be the one clearing Alex Smith to return to football
Alex Smith's personal doctor cleared him to resume football activities, which I don't think any personal doctor should ever clear you to be like, 'Hey, go out there and just play football.' That doesn't seem like something that a family physician would do. I actually don't think that doctor is now sending him to... Dr. Nick.
Nobody actually wants a real dad bod
Fuck the people who have made dad bod culture seem cool because I know deep down, no one actually wants dad bods. They want the Zac Efron six pack dad bod... reality is if you have a true dad bod you're just really tired all the time because your metabolism is fucked up and you're overweight.

Going to space isn't impressive because we've already done it a lot
I think it's cool that we've done it 100,000 times already... We went to the moon in the 60s. Technology has advanced a long way. We're not going to learn anything new from Elon Musk going to the moon. It's just for him to pat himself on the back.
Complaining is the most authentic part of sports fandom, and appreciation is for when they're gone
When sports come back. I'm going to revert right back to my sports fandom instantly. I will complain about everything instantly. That's what sports fans do.

Every major sports team should play one 'secret game' a year that is only broadcast in the event of a global pandemic
My idea is that every single year going forward... every single team in every major sport... have to play one secret game a year that no one will talk about will sign NDAs in case of like this where sports just stop we can play it. Think about being able to just pull up all of a sudden you're watching MJ in the Bulls in their prime and you're like that game never existed until I'm just watching it now. There should absolutely be a secret stash of games out there that are ready and never been [seen] in case of an emergency.

Michigan football is a myth that is not on the same level as Ohio State or Alabama.
I'm actually kind of agree just because the Michigan myth is one of the greatest myths going in all of college sports. They have won half a national title in the last 60 years. And they make you think that they matter and that they're on the level of Alabama and USC and Ohio State and Clemson even now. ... realistic Michigan fans probably were like... We aren't going to get better.

I only like Kirk Herbstreit when he acts as Lee Corso's guide
It's the only time that I like Kirk Herbstreit is when he's being Lee Corso's guide. I don't want to say seeing eye dog, but he's helping him with his sentences and finishing his thoughts for him. And that's the only time that I will ever like Kirk Herbstreit is when he's lending a hand like that.
